Review

Junior managers may find this a useful guide to keep on their shelves and dip into occasionally. The range of business topics is its strength. The need for managers to keep abreast of new developments has been missed in places. Key competencies such as managing people, managing activities and managing and developing yourself have been considered, albeit in some instances scantily. Some new thinking such as EFQM has been considered, other chances have been missed. No resource can tell every manager what they need to know in every situation but some modules will undoubtedly provide guidance which will help build up managerial knowledge and skills. I think this will be popular in England because of its price but unfortunately probably not in Northern Ireland because of its reliance upon English Law. I may consider recommending it to colleagues in England if it were accredited by, for example, the Institute of Management.

Strengths:

- Section on HRD in HR Management particularly impressive
- Quality and Financial Management Modules easy reading
- Context Module useful history of management thought

Weaknesses:

- Not clear who target audience is or learning outcomes
- What standard this is, graduate, post-graduate etc
- Has this been accredited and by whom?
- Would benefit from further modules on Marketing and Operations Management
- The law relied upon is that of England and Wales
- Disappointing not to see more about TU law in Employee Relations Module
- More review questions at the end of modules would reinforce learning
