A record 170 books were entered into this year’s competition across five categories: Management Futures; Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Practical Manager; the Commuter’s Read; and Management and Leadership Textbook.
The five categories winners and an overall winner will be announced at an awards evening at the British Library on 8 February 2016 – with the winning author taking home a £5,000 prize.
