The textbook thoroughly covers the first-year business management
syllabus. It provides a general introduction to the business
environment in South Africa, then moves on to discuss general
management principles such as leadership, motivation and control
before focusing on management functions such as marketing, finance,
operations management and purchasing and supply chain management.
The book gives students a solid theoretical grounding using an
accessible, practical approach. The book also makes use of features
such as information boxes, case studies, critical thinking boxes
and glossaries to engage students and facilitate application of
learning. Less dense than the bestselling title Introduction to
Business Management, Principles of Business Management is aimed
specifically at first-year students at universities of technology.
It is divided into four parts: Introduction to business management,
management tasks, The functional areas of management, and
entrepreneurship and the business plan. Features: critical thinking
boxes prompt the student to think about issues or problems in the
South African business world and offer solutions; information boxes
including articles, examples and documents which create interest
and relevance for the student; key terminology is highlighted in
the text and explained in an end-of-chapter glossary and this
provides the students with a useful checklist of terms learnt; case
studies to aid understanding and also motivate students to learn;
the case study concludes the chapter and allows practical
application of the concepts therein.
The Govie-ee: My Hell of a Life by Jeff M. Maritz Mike-ee is not
your typical child. When he was five, he saw things he shouldn't
see. His mother unwittingly planted the seeds of carnal knowledge
in his pure mind. At age nine, he committed incest without knowing
it was wrong. In 1967, at age eleven, he and his sister found their
father beaten black and blue in their room in a run-down boarding
house. All of a sudden, he was taken by authorities to Louis
Trichardt Reformatory-the so-called Govie-ee-with his elder brother
and sister. He had no idea why they end up there, and nobody would
offer any reason. The Govie-ee was a hellhole. It brought out the
worst in him...it tormented him...it took any innocence left in
him. This is a true story. About the Author Jeffrey Michael Maritz
was born and raised in Africa. At present time he is living in Asia
for more than twenty years. He has traveled the world due to his
profession as a mechanical engineer. Inspired by the love for his
father, he writes this book about the struggles he had to deal with
as a child growing up in a dysfunctional family in Africa.
