Rezensionen

It is so refreshing to find a book that scratches beneath thesurface and really tires to look at the whole perspective.

This book provides insight into the various manangement andorganisational theories and influences which impact on healthcareand the implications for healthcare professionals. It will enablemanagers to gain a broader perspective on delivering efficiency andquality in health services. It provides a toolkit for individualsto pick from to maximise their potential for effective management.It its certainly more worthy than the MBA in a weekend typevolumes
