"Operating any business is complex and challenging, but it provides interesting, creative and rewarding experiences. This book takes a practical and down-to-earth approach to planning, organizing and running a business. While employing current research and theory, Business Management takes a pragmatic "how-to" perspective illustrating many practical examples and applications from the business world. It explains how to achieve optimum benefits from the limited resources available to business firms, as well as how to plan for growth and succession in a business. This book also gives Business Management practitioners a framework and a set of tools and techniques that provide a practical guide to successfully implementing Business Management Projects and provides a holistic approach and the necessary details to deliver a Business Management Project."
