The proceedings of a seminar on labour management, August 1972, Department of Horticulture, Lincoln College, University College of Agriculture, Canterbury, New Zealand

Abstract

During the last few years, since the recognition of the growing importance of business management in the production of horticultural crops, the Department of Horticulture at Lincoln College has conducted seminars for producers of tree and berry fruits and vegetables. These have been aimed at covering the broad principles of management including land utilisation, capital, labour and managers. They have been "industry" seminars planned for a particular sector of the horticultural industry. The papers presented in this bulletin represent a departure from the broad industry orientated courses in that they deal in depth with a specific aspect of management science. Implementation as well as acquisition of knowledge has been included in the objectives.
