Since this comprehensive overview of general management was published, the business world has witnessed major changes: an accelerated drive toward global business operations among leading North American, Western European, and Pacific Rim firms, a proliferation of new strategic alliances, the continuing revolution in information and communications technologies, the diminished role of junk bonds, and a newfound emphasis on business ethics and corporate governance have all meant dramatic readjustment in the corporate world. The second edition of General Managers in Action addresses these changes and offers a wealth of new materials and choice case studies developed at the Harvard Business School focusing on industry and competitive analysis and the job of the general manager. Three new chapters discuss the growing need for general managers to strive for world-class competitive advantage in global business activities, the major concerns general managers face in deciding how to ensure sound financial policies and structure in the context of the firm's overall corporate strategy, and the often conflicting interests and responsibilities of general managers and boards of directors for U.S. publicly-owned corporations as they face large and sometimes unexpected changes in public expectations. Other chapters have been expanded to provide more extensive coverage of ethics, strategic alliances, Europe 1992, company capabilities and value chain analysis, and the management of change. An ideal text for management seminars and MBA courses, the second edition of General Managers in Action is also an invaluable reference for executives and for anyone who needs to understand general management and thechallenges that top executives face.

Principles of General Management: a responsible approach for southern Africa, answers the need of a resource to provide students first entering the field of management, that helps them to become responsible managers and leaders, to be change agents, and to act as the human foundation for responsible organisations. The book is currently the first book written by South Africans for the South African and broader African market, integrating the pillars of responsible management in the main managerial functions. This book covers the traditional view of management, encompassing the planning, organising, leading and control functions. The three pillars of responsible management (sustainability, responsibility and ethics) are then integrated into each of these functions with the aim to develop responsible managers, organisations, socio-economic systems and ultimately a sustainable world society. A responsible manager will embrace triple-bottom line optimization, stakeholder value optimization, ethical decision-making and create moral excellence in his or her organisation. Topics, enriched with South African examples, case studies and scenarios, that are covered include: - The evolution of management theory and how traditional theories evolve to responsible management - A responsible approach to the management process - Sustainability, responsibility and ethics - Social entrepreneurship - The management environment - A responsible approach to organisational planning - A responsible approach to organising - Responsible leadership - Workforce motivation - A responsible approach to controlling The book is ideal for undergraduate studies at higher education institutions, managers in the corporate and public environment, leaders, project managers (especially for CSR related projects) and anyone aspiring to be a responsible manager.

This new edition of an informative and accessible book guides building surveyors and facilities managers through the key aspects of property maintenance and continues to be of value to both students and practitioners. With the increasing cost of new-build, effective maintenance of existing building stock is becoming ever more important and building maintenance work now represents nearly half of total construction output in the UK. Building Maintenance Management provides a comprehensive profile of the many aspects of property maintenance. This second edition has been updated throughout, with sections on outsourcing; maintenance planning; benchmarking and KPIs; and current trends in procurement routes (including partnering and the growth of PFI) integrated into the text. There is also a new chapter on the changing context within which maintenance is carried out, largely concerned with its relationship to facilities management. More coverage is given of maintenance organisations and there are major updates to relevant aspects of health and safety and to contract forms.

Information services are currently going through what is probably the most significant period of change in their history. At the same time, thinking about organisational change in general management has continued to develop, and many of the emerging ideas, strategies and processes are increasingly relevant to information services. Since the first edition of this highly regarded book was published in 2000 the pace of change has accelerated because of the influence of digitisation and technological developments in general, the emergence of what might be called a business culture, changes in skills and knowledge requirements, and changes in user and personnel attitudes. Despite these rapid developments the current literature tends to reflect a preoccupation with technological developments at the expense of consideration for the broader managerial base. This second edition fills the gap in the literature and is fully updated with the inclusion of a number of new chapters and new case studies.

In a business world characterised by change, turbulence and corporate scandals, strategy is more crucial today than ever before. Far too often top management develops a strategy for the company that is never communicated to or understood by other levels.
