This book is a comprehensive textbook on Performance Management that fulfills the needs of the management students. The author, with his extensive experience of teaching the subject has realized that, despite a plethora of books on Performance Management, students still experience difficulty in finding out an easily understandable book covering, by and large, the course structure prescribed by various universities. Keeping this need in view, the author has endeavoured to bring out this book encompassing the important concepts of performance management generally prescribed for management students by most of the universities. The book consists of FIVE PARTS which are further divided into 20 CHAPTERS and CASE STUDIES. Each Chapter begins with an introduction, followed by the vital aspects and applications of various principles of performance management and ends with a summary, key terms, review questions and references. The CD along with the book contains CASES and PPTs of Chapters covered in the book. About the Author Dr. C.
