Synopsis

This edition of our classic Rue & Byars text is a departure. The book continues its tradition of presenting principles of management in a very straightforward and accessible manner, focusing on the skills that are needed to become a successful manager. It has, however, been significantly updated for both content and currency. Its table of contents has been reorganized to reduce the overall length of the book by two chapters. It has also been changed to a paperback text.
