This book summarizes the essential elements of management. Its primary aim is to provide the reader with a synthesis of the traditional and quantitative and behavioral approaches to the subject of management by focusing attention on basic concepts and techniques of analysis. It proposes a framework for integrating the contributions of the various disciplines interested in the study of management; yet, it encourages a critical attitude toward all administrative thought, with the hope that the reader will reach a synthesis of his own.
