Description
This text provides all the support and learning material needed for any supervisory management course that meets the requirements up to and including MCI Level 1. The courses the book can be used on are Nebs, BTEC, RSA, ISM, supervisory level subset (NVQ 3/4) and MCI Management Standards Level 1. The book is both practical and interactive, allowing those students in work to use their own experience while extending and reinforcing their knowledge and skills. The text is therefore ideal for lecturers implementing a student-centred approach to teaching. The three-section structure of the text ensures that students first identify problems in realistic contexts and then are directed to the appropriate information on principles and practice to enable them to solve the problems. Extended activities and assignments develop knowledge and skills. A free lecturers' supplement is also available.
