This book provides practical guidance and strategies to help students
make a successful transition to university and unlock their academic
potential. Chapters are organised around five essential skills for
success: time management, academic reading, academic writing and
group-work, all of which are underpinned by independent learning.
Students will learn how to demonstrate critical analysis in their
writing, overcome challenges in group projects and deliver presentations
with confidence and focus. In bringing together academic and
employability skills, readers are encouraged to make connections between
the skills they have developed inside and outside the classroom and to
start the process of personal development planning sooner rather than
later.
Packed with activities, 'pause for thought' reflective tasks, student
insights and model assignments, Skills for Business and Management is
an essential resource for undergraduates and postgraduates on any
business and management course. It is also ideal for those studying
relating fields, such as accounting, finance, human resource management,
hospitality, marketing and tourism management.
