Business CATALOGUE 2025|2026 15contemporary MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLEST BOTHA & MJ VRBA (EDITORS)Change is the distinguishing characteristic of the business environment across the world and it affects how contemporary organisations operate. While organisations need to do more with less, they also have to satisfy the needs of their customers who, with more exposure to local and global markets, have higher expectations relating to the cost, quality, speed and innovation of the services and products they purchase from these organisations. In response to the changes in their business environment, organisations are becoming flatter, networked, global, more flexible and diverse and managers have to acquire the skills to face the challenges associated with these features. The contemporary management principles offered in this publication integrates discussions on vital managerial competencies and skills with information on traditional and essential managerial concepts that have been effective in the past and are still relevant.CONTENTSPART I: INTRODUCTIONChapter 1: The Evolution of Management Theory Chapter 2: The Management ProcessChapter 3: Features of Contemporary Organisations and New Management ChallengesPART II: MANAGEMENT IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENTChapter 4: Composition of the Management EnvironmentChapter 5: Managing Organisational Change and Individual StressChapter 6: Corporate CultureChapter 7: Power, Politics, Conflict Resolution and NegotiationChapter 8: Business Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility,Chapter 9: Workforce DiversityPART 111: PLANNINGChapter 10: Principles of PlanningChapter 11: Strategic ManagementChapter 12: Decision MakingChapter 13: Information ManagementChapter 14: Project ManagementPART 1V: ORGANISINGChapter 15: Principles of OrganisingChapter 16: Value Chain and E-BusinessPART V: LEADINGChapter 17: Individual Behaviour in OrganisationsChapter 18: Work Groups and TeamsChapter 19: Principles of LeadingChapter 20: Workforce MotivationPART V1: CONTROLLINGChapter 21: Principles of ControlContemporaryManagement Principles third editionTERSIA BOTHA MARI VRBA SUITABLE FORThe book is a useful and practical resource for managers and students of business management.KEY FEATURES%u2022 Each chapter features a relevant opening case study to illustrate the specific contents of the chapter%u2022 Specific learning objectives are identified at the beginning of each chapter to create a map of the contents and are highlighted throughout the chapters%u2022 Appropriate and current Africa, South African and international examples contextualise the various concepts%u2022 At the end of each chapter a summary links to the learning objectives identified at the beginning of each chapter%u2022 Each chapter concludes with review questions for students to test their understanding of the chapter contents.978 1 48516 004 5 ZAR R550.00978 1 48516 005 2 ZAR R495.003rd EDITION 2024 Ed720 PAGESSUPPORT MATERIALe-BOOK
