The book has been written keeping in mind the students of undergraduate and postgraduate students of management and commerce. The book is also useful for the B Tech students. It is designed to provide a lucid treatment of principles of management in the Indian context. Although the organisation of the book follows a widely used "management function"approach, the chapters are self-sufficient and would stand on their own. This modular design would offer wide flexibility to the teachers/students in choosing topics. The text presents an integrated picture of the classical, behavioral, quantitative and contingency approaches to management.
