Horticulture Management and Supervision is an invaluable resource for both university and junior college horticulture curriculums. No other management text exists today that is able to mesh current supervisory principles with an intimate day-to-day understanding of the Green Industry. By incorporating real-life scenarios that are firmly-based in the landscape, nursery, golf course/turf management and arboriculture professions, this text is able to greatly assist soon-to-be supervisors in working through a multitude of decision-making processes. Since students are encouraged to incorporate a broad cross-section of supervisory principles in problem-solving personnel issues; they will be much better able to effectively manage staff and be equally skilled in intertwining their managerial skills with the long-term goals of the organization.
