"This is a stimulating introduction to the behavioural aspects of managerial work delivered with optimism and energy. It is unique in the way that it manages to achieve a 'what might work' rather than an 'in theory' style." "Interpreting Management is ideal for readers embarking on an introductory management course at diploma, degree, or masters' level. The text develops a learning approach to managerial roles and tasks. Key concepts underpinning dynamic organisations, such as leading change, high performance teams, or handling complexity, are brought to life through examples, case studies, and learning activities."--BOOK JACKET.
