Mullins has provided us with that perfectly. The international dimension will help students in their future studies and beyond. Jorgen Ljund, Linkoping University The book is logically structured and clearly written, thus enabling easy access to the subject without compromising the academic integrity. The theories and concepts discussed in the text are clearly applied through interesting and relevant case studies. It is ideal for undergraduates, but I have also found it proves useful for overseas postgraduate students, for whom English is not their first language.' Alf Crossman, Surrey European Management School, University of Surrey 'This text offers a balanced view of management theories with stimulating, but practical illustrations for a whole range of practitioners.'
