A departmental handbook

Running any academic department carries with it a range of responsibilities: some are common from department to department, others are highly specific. This highly practical publication offers support and guidance to those managing business departments in both schools and colleges. It covers the wide range of issues that characterise the broad remit of the Business department.

The material is presented in a variety of appropriate formats: guidance and information sheets; policy document outlines; handouts for other members of the department, students, parents and external organisations; forms and checklists.
