Principles of Management by P C Tripathi

With increased focus on effective management in organizations, ‘principles of management’ and their applications have only grown in importance. The revised edition of this textbook has been made up-to-date to incorporate latest trends in management. New cases and exhibits have been included to give examples of latest real-life practices in this discipline. While the basics of the courses in this area have remained the same, continuous theoretical enrichment and rapid changes in the industrial landscape have prompted courses to be realigned with latest trends in the markets. So, topics such as transformational leadership, glass ceiling, and virtual organization etc., have been included in this book to make it most suitable for the courses.
