This is the seventh edition of a long-established textbook, which is based on UK practice rather than American. It has been fully updated with new material on training, labour relations, and industrial relations. This new edition includes the most recent legislation and reports, thus providing a really up-to-date text. It is written in a clear and user friendly style which combines general principles with examples from current practice. Maurice Cuming was Education Officer of the Institute of Health Service Administrators. Previously he was Senior Tutor at the King's Fund College of Hospital Management. His work was closely involved in the management development of an industry which is the UKs fourth largest employer of labour. His practical industrial experience was gained in the personnel department of Richard Costain Limited, the international group of building and civil engineering contractors.
