Dictionary of Management is the result of an extensive information search of various sources, including standard textbooks, journals, academic papers, reports, data mines and sites as well as interaction with experts in the field. The dictionary contains simple terms as well as complex terms relating to diverse applications of the principles of management. Since it is a rapidly advancing field, and its principles are being applied to more and more activities to deal with emerging situations, leading to evolvement of new methods, some new terms have come forth in recent times. The dictionary contains all such new terms. Each term has been explained in simple language and lucid manner with standard definitions given wherever necessary. Another important feature of this dictionary is the inclusion of illustrations or diagrams, wherever necessary, to help in proper understanding of the related term. The dictionary will prove very useful to students, teachers and researchers of management, as well as to those preparing for various competitive examinations with management as an option. It will also benefit businessmen, executives and others holding management positions in any organisation, including HRD managers, entrepreneurs, and government officials dealing with projects, planning and other related works. It will serve as an ideal reference source for schools, colleges and institutes of management.
