Management involves the managing of organisations and functions at various levels. Planning, organising, leading and controlling have traditionally been viewed as the four key management tasks. However, in a dynamic and changing world, management has become far more complicated and demanding. Attending to traditional management tasks in the old, established ways is becoming increasingly difficult. Contemporary Management Aspects is a useful resource for managers and students alike as it covers a detailed analysis and presentation of modern areas of management.

Contemporary management aspects are crucial aspects that managers at all levels should include in the development of their own best practices to ensure that they remain competitive and dynamic in an ever-changing world.

Some of the aspects covered in this book are:

• Creativity
• Innovation
• Change management
• Globalisation
• Risk management
• Project management

These were identified as the most relevant and appropriate contemporary aspects to investigate and develop. Contemporary Management Aspects is a must-have resource that will help to facilitate the shift from conventional and traditional thinking around management to a contemporary and modern approach.
