"Policies are guidelines or general limits within which the members of an enterprise act. They are general statements or understandings which guide thinking and action. Policies exist at various levels of the enterprise-corporate, divisional and departmental. They are valuable because they allow lower levels of management to handle problems without going to top management for a decision each time.

The present book is designed to help the participants to develop an understanding of basic inputs required, making and implementing business policy decisions and also familiarises them with the issue and practices involved."
