A TIME-SAVING, EASY AND INTERESTING WAY TO MASTER ECONOMICS IS HERE
IN THIS BOOK To many GCE "A" Level students, a number of concepts
in economics are abstruse and daunting, even dry and boring. This
book addresses this problem by bringing such concepts down to a
"bitable, digestible and interesting" level. GCE "A" Level students
and students preparing for other economics exams such as the BBA,
RSA, LCCI, GRE, and even the GCE "O" Level, exams should find this
book useful, interesting and reader-friendly, especially for quick
revision. The book covers more than the GCE "A" Level Economics
syllabus. It is not necessary to have a basic foundation in
economics to pick up economics with all its abstruseness and
complexities, as this book explains the ideas of economics in as
simple and accessible a fashion as possible, whereby even lay
people, e.g., general readers without any knowledge of economics at
all, would benefit. There is a slew of very important economic
knowledge and insights in the Quick Revision Notes, Articles To
Stimulate Economic Reasoning and Appendix. There is also a number
of useful business ideas, e.g., marketing concepts,
entrepreneurship, finance and banking, etc., which should be of
interest to both economics students (who are budding or potential
business practitioners) and business practitioners alike. The ideas
in this book are expected to stimulate, provoke, thought, interest,
even controversy and debate, as economics is not an exact science -
this should make economics meaningful and "come alive" (and not
just another boring subject for passing exams). The author is
optimistic, and, hopeful, that the implementation of these ideas
would solve or, at least, alleviate our economic and social
problems and greatly benefit our society. This book is also aimed
at making economics not only easy and accessible, but, interesting,
challenging and meaningful for everyone interested in or concerned
about the economic well-being of our society, student sitting for
economics exams or not Economics is indeed important and should not
be studied just for the sake of passing exams but for understanding
and solving our economic and (related) societal problems as well,
problems such as recession, unemployment, poverty, etc., which
affect all of us one way or another whether we like it or not THIS
BOOK SERIOUSLY ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE AND, HENCE, THE IMPORTANCE,
CHALLENGE AND MEANINGFULNESS OF THIS BOOK THE BOOK, WHICH HAS NOW
BEEN EXPANDED, HAS BEEN ADOPTED AS A REFERENCE TEXT BY THE
INSTITUTIONS WHERE THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN TEACHING. FOR THIS NEW AND
EXPANDED EDITION, THREE STIMULATING, IMPORTANT ARTICLES, "THE
EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE ECONOMY," "THE ROLE OF GREED IN THE
ECONOMY" AND "WHY ECONOMICS DOES NOT SOLVE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND
WHAT TO DO," ARE ADDED.
This laughable book of humour is the handiwork of a strange clown
of startling brain cells which seem to have a funneeeeee life of
their own, a funneeeeee guy who is apparently gifted with grey
matter - grey hair, grey shirt, grey pants, grey socks and possibly
grey underpants (unable to see the colour of his underpants),
claiming grey to be his lucky colour. This fellow had also tried to
be what he is not, i.e. acted, a cartoonist, and had drawn the
funneeeeee sketches for this book with his trembling right hand as
though he had seen a ghost. He also became one of his own cartoon
characters under his shaky penmanship. The funneeeeee, cute author
had wanted to be a comedian, an actor who makes people laugh, but
was unable to realise this ambition. Now, he will "act" in this
book and make people laugh. This book will definitely make everyone
laugh. If the humour is good everyone will laugh at the humour. If
the humour is bad everyone will laugh at the author, who we
understand will blush. In any case, everyone will laugh. Reading
this funneeeeee book should be the easiest and most fun way to
strengthen and expand the grey matter. This book attempts to make
fun of everything. Even the author himself is not spared. This book
ambitiously aims at presenting serious ideas on many aspects of
life, e.g., philosophy, politics, and science, etc., to readers in
a non-serious, yet stimulating, style. It also aims at creating fun
and bringing sunshine into the dull, humdrum lives of readers. It
should relax our dear readers, improve our dear readers' moods and
help sharpen our dear readers' minds, fortifying their mental
fitness for meeting whatever challenges that lie ahead of them in
the process. Importantly, as the title of this book implies, those
who possess a copy of this book prove that they have grey matter -
this is no joke. Furthermore, as the book is greyish, possessing a
copy of the book is possessing grey matter. Ha Ha Ha Ha Those who
do not possess the book do not possess this grey matter. Hee Hee
Hee Hee Prove you have grey matter Get this grey book Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha This book also includes a humourous introduction by a
successful businessman offering important views on business and
management. The book has been given several rounds of publicity by
the press.
In administering an office and people, we should be concerned about
things such as the layout of the office, the equipment in the
office, comfort of the people using the office and the efficiency
of the work systems. This book provides plenty of practicable ideas
for the aspiring administrative manager to tap on and he would be
able to benefit much from these ideas when implementing them.
Students sitting for the various management exams should also be
able to benefit from the book. Having good concepts of
administrative management is fine but being a good people
management practitioner is something else. However, the very
important job of managing people is a seemingly easy one which
relatively few excel in. In the book are also important tips on
managing people. The book includes an introduction by a successful
businessman offering important views on business and management.
This book has been given several rounds of publicity by the press.
Managing technical people seems to be another kind of "ball-game."
Many technical people are proud of their expertise and would not
like to be always told what to do, as though they do not know their
stuffs. Moreover, technical knowledge is advancing so fast that the
current technical knowledge could become obsolete within a short
time. This book provides many important ideas for the aspiring
technical manager. Much of the knowledge presented in the book is
not available in textbooks and could only be gained by being on the
job. To manage and solve technical problems in an industrial or
factory environment, book knowledge or theoretical knowledge alone
is insufficient, and, practical knowledge or experience is just as
important, if not more important. As a matter of fact, some things
cannot be learnt from books but must be "experienced" first-hand.
This kind of knowledge is of great importance to the practising
engineer or technical manager. In this book the author shares this
kind of knowledge which he has gained first-hand by being
"on-the-job" with the reader, knowledge which is unlikely to be
found in a normal technical management book. There are also
important tips on practical management. Students of management
should benefit from the book too. The book includes an introduction
by a successful businessman offering important views on business
and management. This book has been given several rounds of
publicity by the press.
This important book provides a wide range of management ideas for
both the practitioners and students. It practically covers the
whole range of management functions, from the "soft" aspects to the
"hard" aspects. The author also shares some of his expertise with
the reader. In its own way it is a unique business management book.
Business people and practitioners and industrial managers or
engineers should find the book of great practical interest as a
reference text as it covers such important practical subjects as
production management, risk management, finance and banking,
personnel management, marketing management, accounting, automation,
leadership techniques, public relations, industrial relations, work
study, motivational techniques, productivity and management
controls. Business management students should find the book useful
for quick revision. In fact, this is a very ambitious business
management book. To add more practical interest to the book,
selected, stimulating articles, some of which had been published in
journals in the past, are included. There are also important
practical management tips. The book includes an introduction by a
successful businessman offering important views on business and
management. Readers who take the principles and techniques
presented in the book to heart should be better managers,
motivators and leaders. This book has been given several rounds of
publicity by the press.
