  3. Cambridge Short Introductions to Management

Cambridge Short Introductions to Management are short, authoritative, reasonably-priced, introductory books for MBA, Masters-level and executive students taking a management course. Each book is thoroughly class tested and will stand alone as a valuable introduction to a particular subject area, although lecturers may choose to recommend a selection from the series as preparatory reading for a particular course of study. The series will cover the core subjects taught at Masters level as well as relevant emerging topics. We have appointed a distinguished advisory board who will introduce high-profile authors from an international spread of institutions to write for the series.
