Managing the Laboratory Animal Facility, Third Edition

The thrust of this book, beginning with the first edition, has been a focus on basic management skills (planning, directing, decision making, organising, controlling), how they integrate, and how they are used to effect a positive and productive work environment. This philosophy continues into the third edition, keeping management "tactics" down to a minimum. A launching pad to provide high-quality management of laboratory animal facilities in a financially sound manner, this Third Edition continues to provide a basic understanding of management and leadership concepts in a laboratory animal science environment. New features to this edition: Integrates Lean Management concepts and methods where appropriate; Expands the financial management chapter, adding more information on financial checks and balances; Updates coverage of emerging technologies and information management; Includes a new discussion on the importance of "influence" as a management tool; Addresses the most important aspects of providing a good working environment for coworkers, including the need for communication and trust in the workplace.
