Economics of Shipping Practice and Management

The subject of this book is treated in a practical way, providing the reader with an overall understanding of the economics of shipping practice. The increasingly important role of management is given more emphasis, especially in the area of budgets, finance, personnel and marketing. The book should appeal to college and university students preparing for shipping, export, international trade and transport examinations, and to practising managers. Its practical approach, explanations and comprehensive coverage make it particularly appropriate for shipping personnel wanting to broaden their horizons through self-study.
