The first and previous version of this book titled “Elements of Functional Administration” is now aged about 16+ years and started looking for modernization, as it sensed various vibrant trends and new technologies around its domain.
A systematized ready-reckoner, I mean just a ‘Manual of Administration’ will work like an effective guide once and every time as needed by the Administrative Professionals, this book will become a handy. Surprisingly, I felt immensely delighted when I came to know, this is the only Title in Functional Administration, and never before such a prescribed book was stocked in the book stands.
I am inspired, and poised to elevate this book to be in the theme and style with the conspicuous trend setter Title “You Can Win” of Mr. Shiv khera, who influenced, me big way. My efforts will culminate into accomplishing its worthy goal, I wish with this “2020 Revised Edition” with a far closer reach to the organizations, in its fulfilment, I now feel confident of.
