This book provides an understanding of the concepts of management, managerial leadership and governance within health care systems. After an introductory section that provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of health systems management, each subsequent section addresses a fundamental management task: managing income and finances; managing people; managing strategy and change; managing results; all of which require a degree of managerial leadership.
