Excellent management handbook combining theory and practice

Management Functions and Responsibilities is the most comprehensive management "bible" I have used for post-graduate teaching in universities, and industry consulting. Baird, Post and Mahon, cover the essential management theories and apply a range of case studies to each. All the major management functions are addressed, and the book flows in a logical and easily digestible order. It is published in full colour and is quite large (you cannot take it to bed and read it). I have never had a student or industry client negatively criticise the book I consider to be the management "bible". If a copy falls into your hands, guard it, because it is highly attractive to academics and industry professionals. As my students say "Never loan out your "bible"!." I have used this text in Australia and Asia. Unfortunately, it is currently (inexplicably) out of print, I thought that I knew of a store of 300 hidden in Australia, only to discover a Chinese university had bought them all. When I find a copy of this text, usually in a second-hand book store, I purchase it immediately for our reference library. I eagerly await the reprint.
