• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1996, this title analyses the management skills of those with least resources, the women of the urban poor, and finds that there is an abundance of evidence on the high levels of managerial competence within this group. It is information which has largely been hidden from history and is corrected in this study.
