Principles of management in nutrition

Abstract

Drawing from foundational open educational resources in foodservice and business management, this resource was developed to meet the specific learning needs of dietetic and foodscience students. The book covers key principles of management, leadership, human resources, marketing, and strategic planning—framed within the context of dietetic and foodservice practice. Designed to support active learning, it includes review questions, practical exercises, and Canadian examples to help students link theory to real-world practice. The resource empowers students to think critically about their roles as future foodservice managers, small business owners, and leaders in food and nutrition.
