Essentials of Management

It gives us immense pleasure to present the revised and enlarged edition of the Essentials of Management Book. The
book has been published for B.Com: First Semester as per new syllabus. In the book, we have maintained the earlier pattern and
style of the book which has been appreciated and lauded over the past so many years.
The further highlights of the Essentials of Management Book are the simplicity of explanation combined with a style that ensures easy understanding. We have tried to put the subject-matter in such a way that the students get the feeling of live teacher interacting with them. The book is immensely useful for the students of B.Com. examinations.
