    Principles of Management: Text and Cases introduces students to the fundamentals of management through a balanced blend of theory and practice. The opening vignettes and cases depict real-world situations and problems that managers face while highlighting the management practices of successful Indian and foreign companies. Samples of a leave policy, a strategy and action plan for human resource management, an application blank, and a code of ethics are appended to a few chapters to further illustrate the way organizations function. In addition to the concepts, the book also delves into the various academic perspectives that have evolved over time to provide the readers an integrated view of different approaches to management.
