Covering both theory and practice, this student text includes an examination of the more important management theories, a discussion of types of organizational structure, an analysis of the role of the supervisor and an explanation of the relationship between the supervisor and the law. This edition has been further updated to be as up-to-date with late-1990s thinking and course development as possible. The book is more closely linked to the level 3 NVQ in management. All the required elements of Knowledge and Understanding are now covered. The book should be suitable for students of the NEBS Management course and the Edexel Certificate in Supervisory Management.
