Black & white print. Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well as behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters.

Industrial Energy Management: Principles and Applications provides an overall view of the energy management approach by following the stream of energy from factory boundaries to end users. All topics are examined from the point of view of plant users rather than from that of designers and only the basic concepts necessary to clarify the operation of the plants are outlined. Industrial Energy Management: Principles and Applications is written both as a textbook for university courses in engineering and as a work of reference for professionals in energy management. Readers are assumed to have a basic knowledge of thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, electric systems and power electronics, as well as computer programming. This book can be used not only by technicians involved in the field of energy management but also by managers who may find it a useful tool for understanding investment proposals and even a spur to solicit new ones. Industrial Energy Management: Principles and Applications consists of 21 chapters concerning general principles of energy transformation and energy sources, transformation plants such as electrical substantions and boiler plants, cogeneration plants, electrical and thermal fluid distribution lines, facilities plants such as pumps and fans, air compressors, cooling, HVAC and lighting systems, heat recovery equipment, principles of energy auditing and accounting by using computers, correlation between energy and waste, education in the field. At the end of the book a chapter has been dedicated to economic analysis of energy saving investments and evaluation is given of all the cases studied in the book.

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Principles of Industrial Administration An elementary general knowledge of the underlying principles of administration is useful to all persons engaged in industrial employment. More particularly is such information essential to those who are undergoing some form of training designed with the object of fitting them ultimately to occupy positions of responsibility in industry. Equally important is a knowledge of the fundamentals of industrial organization to those who, while not actually engaged in industry, are nevertheless affected by the manner in which it is conducted. An attempt is made in the following pages to present in simple form that general survey of industry which such students require, and which is an introduction to the study of more specific aspects of the problem. The volume is therefore addressed to students of industrial technology, both in universities or technical colleges, and in industry; to students of economics and sociology; to teachers in evening schools, continuation schools, and works schools who desire to know something of the conditions under which their students in industry are employed; to supervisory members of industry, such as foremen and inspectors; and to working men and women who wish to study either privately or through the medium of study circles, the general organization of modem industry.
