    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Packed with real-life examples of management in practice, this text explores the key original concepts of the managerial escalator, the hybrid manager and the managerial gap. The book's extensive range of pedagogical features, found throughout each chapter, alongside the text's clear and accessible style, provides students with a step-by-step guide through such essential themes as motivation, communication, recruitment and selection, development, negotiating skills and workplace counselling.
