Management Essentials</b> is a simplified and synthesized version of core management principles to help readers appreciate the fundamentals of managing enterprises successfully in a competitive environment. It addresses the current dilemma in the field of management, where a strong perception exists that management theory and actual practice are increasingly disconnected from each other.<br /> <br /> The book delves into the notion of &lsquo;value&rsquo; creation cycle in an enterprise in relation to the competition and the importance to stay ahead on this curve vis-&agrave;-vis the competition. It discusses the interrelated concepts of analysis and decision making, and then goes further to connect the popular notion of branding to good business acumen. <br /> <br /> By drawing upon the author&rsquo;s extensive experience in academia and industry, the book uniquely intertwines theory with practice to join the dots across disparate business management concepts.
