The ways and techniques of management, involve continual experimentation with new approaches to old and new problems. Good managers are not born, they are made. They are fashioned by experience and the realities of the workplace. They grow in stature and managerial skill largely from their encounters with people and problems.
We know that efficient management is essential to increase productivity, improved staff morale and motivation, and allow coordination of each employee\'s work so it contributes to the goals of the organization. That\'s what this book is about. It\'s about reorienting ourselves-focusing on basic and advanced managemental functions and techniques, organizational behaviour including effective supervision and administration of organizations for obtaining desired results. It\'s about looking at practical implications of management techniques in the field of social sciences. It highlights the understanding that management should be a continuous process helping us to communicate cooperatively with staff to improve their performance and ultimately in achieving the organizational goals. With rapid globalization, the future looks brighter and we trust this publication would enlighten and guide our management professionals in meeting the demands of the discipline.
The subject matter in the manuscript is the result of an effort to bring together the best information available in literature and designed as per the revised course curricula of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi. (jacket)
