DescriptionFor three decades Bob Jones has entertained and informed with his books, both fiction and non-fiction. Given his commercial success, Bob is well-placed to write on management, but this is no dry exposition as one might anticipate with such a subject. Rather, an eclectic range of topics, individuals and propositions grace these pages. Author descriptionBorn in Lower Hutt in November 1939, Sir Robert (Bob) Jones is one of New Zealand's best known citizens, his range of activities spanning politics, sports, broadcasting, newspaper columns, commerce and writing. Jones on Management is his 20th Book including five novels. Bob was knighted in 1989 and received the New Zealand Commemorative medal in 1990.
