Description

This book is designed for all Level 5 and 6 (100-level) management courses at tertiary institutions throughout New Zealand. It is especially suitable for the new NZDB 130 prescription Organisation and Management, which is a core business paper, and the National Diploma in Business. The text focuses on the dual need of students of business, marketing, travel and tourism, and management to acquire knowledge about management theory and then be able to apply this knowledge in a work context. Relevant, local case studies are provided and the exercises and activities are aimed at developing knowledge and understanding by giving students the opportunity to apply their learning in real and simulated situations. This book has been written by educators from a range of tertiary institutions throughout New Zealand and reflects the diversity of experience of the lecturers in the Diploma in Business.
