The 566-page book is divided into two parts, namely 'General Management' and 'Functional Management'. Functional Management is further divided into three parts - Personnel Management, Financial Management and Marketing Management. Seventeen chapters of General Management begin with the definition of management and include the functions, principles, structure and contributions of scientific management. Personnel Management is discussed in six chapters and deals with planning training and development. Seven chapters each are devoted to financial and marketing management.
Every chapter begins with a scheme of discussions under the caption.
This is very helpful in understanding the contents. At the end of every chapter exercises on objective and descriptive questions are given. Since the discipline of management is multidimensional and multicoloured, it is necessary for any writer to expose himself to the different management concepts and principles. The author has taken pains to refer to the definitions advanced by eminent management authorities alongside his own analysis of concepts of management. This enables the reader to obtain a comprehensive view of the basic management knowledge in the right perspective.
