Reston Publishing Company (Prentice-Hall) Reston, Virginia, 2nd Ed., 1979 Small business ownership and management is tantamount to 24-hour supervision of limited resources and personnel. Successful managers in large and small organizations must master the art of supervision and upgrade their supervisory skills regularly. This book, designed to aid the conscientious supervisor, is divided into three major parts: (1) You and Your Job, (2) The Process of Supervision, and (3) Supervising Your Department. Many basic management concepts and supervisory techniques are examined in twenty-two short, informa­ tive, entertaining chapters.
