Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters.
It got a bit repetitive towards the end but I think I’ve learned loads as someone who doesn’t have the background but having a position in an organisation. At one point I wished I was at school learning about this in a class because they had loads of exercises and what not that’s for group/class discussions and I’m curious of everyone’s answers.
I think it’s better in read/reference form compared to audio but I think I wouldn’t have been able to finish it without.
