Fundamentals of management is written for newcomers to the field of management and experienced managers seeking updated information and a review of the fundamentals. It also written for the many professionals and technical people who work closely with the managers and who take their turn at performing some management work. An example would be the member of a crossfunctional team who is expected to have the perspective of a general manager. The design of this book addresses itself to the needs of introductory management courses and supervision courses offered in educational and work settings. The book can also be used as basic resource for management courses that rely heavily on lecture notes, PowerPoint presentations, and videos rather than an encyclopedia-like text. .
