About the Book

Designed for any introductory course in Management in undergraduate or postgraduate studies. The new edition of "Management" builds on the success of the text in preparing students for the challenges they will face as managers in the new millennium. Stephen Robbins is famous for his practical focus and conversational writing style - this has been carefully adapted to suit Australian and New Zealand students. Rolf Bergman has extensive teaching experience in Australia and New Zealand. Students will be introduced to the opportunities and challenges of management in our region.
