Open Access Book - Principles of Management

This management book is coming from three academics put together by the University of Minnesota who sort of say they want to remain anonymous but the information given is enough to pin them down. It seems up to date and gives an overview of strategic planning in chapter 6.  We can download the pdf and keep on our internal page.

The book seems to lead towards the balanced score card methodology. Are the authours benefitting in some way? Anyway the book is a good resource.

There are other  organization and management oriented textbooks there that could be useful on writing, IT, HRM, project management, sociology, strategic management as well.
