BAS 283: Principles of Management

Skillful management is essential to the functioning of any organization. But what are the fundamental elements of a manager's work? What tools and techniques can managers employ to achieve their goals? At a time when organizations must work across sectors, between farther physical distances, and while interweaving sustainability and equity, what do managers need to know about the changing nature of work and leadership?This book is a succinct handbook of the essentials of management for current and future practitioners. Leadership experts Steven Cohen and William Eimicke concisely explain management best practices, aiming to equip managers with the tools of the trade and prepare them to tackle decision making. They detail three core areas of practice: operations, opportunities, and organization and society, underscoring how ethical and strategic guidance and behaviors are essential to sustainable success.

This is a practical book, written out of many years of experience in working with managements of small, medium and large corporations. It aims to be a management guide, enabling readers to examine their own work and performance, to diagnose their weaknesses and to improve their own effectiveness as well as the results of the enterprise they are responsible for.

The book to teach the students the main functions of management as they need a variety of skills to understand human behaviour, communicate with people, motivate employees, adapt to changes, manage new technologies, etc.

Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well as behavioral areas such as motivation.

Rapid developments in the application of information technology are matched by equally rapid changes in the structure of organizations, in the role of managers and in the economy and society in which they operate. In view of that this new edition of the title is not merely a revised version of the old one. The title has undergone a sea change, rather a metamorphosis. It has been truncated mercilessly to serve the interest of the students in a much better way. There has occurred some sort of ‘creative destruction'in the text. It is no longer a knowledge-oriented title as many teachers have commented in the past, but an exam-oriented one, and it is student-friendly in its approach at that.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are one of the top investment priorities in these days. We may expect that by 2030, some 800 million jobs will have disappeared and taken over by machines, and artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold. The time of machines requires new forms of work and new ways of business education. This book is authored by a range of international experts with a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives hopefully bringing us closer to the responses for the questions like how may AI be used /or is a threat for PRME implementation, how will AI impact the business education world
