The present book has been developed as per the latest syllabi of all the universities and technical institutions in India for all the branches of BTech. It covers the basic concepts of management and all other related aspects which are considered essential for engineering students. The knowledge of this subject is important for understanding the various functions of management. In today`s complex business environment, engineering and management issues cannot be segregated. Integration of industrial management with the technicalities of engineering industry functions, yields better results. Every engineer needs to strengthen the skills, like planning, organizing, directing, coordinating and controlling, to carry out the functions in an organization more effectively. The book has adopted the outcome based education (OBE) system. For all engineering branches, this subject is called management science, and for mechanical engineering branch, it is called industrial management. Keeping in view the needs of engineering students, the book is written in simple and lucid language with sound pedagogical approach. Each part contains outcome based learning objectives, abundant examples, review exercises like short quiz questions, fill in the blanks, and objective type questions with answers, making the subject matter more objective.
