General management provides the basic management knowledge managers
and entrepreneurs require in today's ever-changing and competitive
environment. The book incorporates the fundamental concepts found
in any general management course, including the basic management
functions of planning, organising, leading (activating) and
control, as well as some additional management functions. The
discussion is augmented with real-life management in action
examples. Today's business environment is challenging and
ever-changing. Accordingly, any manager, whether in the public or
private sector, whatever the size and type of organisation, has to
have some basic management knowledge and skills. Although the
emphasis of this book falls on the management functions, important
management issues such as diversity, organisational change, ethics
and social responsibility are also introduced. In addition, the
book emphasises the importance of effective management because all
organisational stakeholders are affected by the way today's
managers manage their organisations. This is a new 'back-to-basics'
South African textbook on management with no unnecessary frills. It
is believed that this book, with its easy-to-follow, practical
layout, will be invaluable to all existing and potential management
practitioners in all organisations, from corporate companies with
management training programmes, to organisations in the public
sector and small business ventures, all of which are tasked with
managing people in an ever-changing and demanding competitive
environment. The editor, Kobus Lazenby, is an associate professor
in the Department of Business Management at the University of the
Free State, specialising in general, strategic and project
management. The other contributors to this book all lecture in
management at South African universities.
