Wonderful!.......2001-06-11
The authors of this book, respected widely as accounting professors and as cheese analysts, brilliantly combine the keener points of e-business accounting and cheese analysis.
This book is *not* just for accountants!.......2000-11-17
Just finished reading, marking, dog-earing this book! This is an excellent sourcebook for anyone, particularly business professionals, who want perspective on e-Commerce and e-Business. In fact, I wonder if the book has been mis-titled somewhat. In this five-chapter book, only the last chapter or two is directed to helping accountants and other assurance-service professionals understand their position in the e-Business space. The first three chapters are worth the price of the book to anyone interested in a fast, but in-depth, overview of how e-Business has emerged, its basic technology, and where it is likely headed. I particularly enjoyed the authors' effort to incorporate a lot of specific examples of successful and not-so-successful companies. The footnotes and references to each chapter are also extraordinary! Like most of us in the human race, I don't often read the footnotes. However, with this book, I was marking and crosschecking references with abandon. We're all struggling to "keep up" with the e-Business race. As I read this book, I felt like I finally fully understood a number of key issues of e-Business-despite having been a CFO of a fast-moving e-Commerce startup! I certainly recommend this read to anyone who feels that they might be slipping a little in "the race."

boring.......2007-02-11
to me this book is very boring. it is supposedly going to help me in the life of business, but it seems geared more to psychology. my teacher thinks its the greatest book ever, but i think it sucks.
Fast Shipping.......2006-11-10
Million thanks, the item got right on time and in perfect conditions :)
Understanding Basic Human Behavior in the Workplace.......2006-09-26
"Organizational Behavior: An Experiential Approach" has rightfully earned its reputation as a practical applied OD Classic! While traditional primary and secondary education emphasize building mental libraries of `theoretical knowledge,' Osland, Kolb, and Rubin recognize that working professionals learn through applicable experiences that address real-world challenges--thus, `an experiential approach.' I have successfully used lessons from "Organizational Behavior: An Experiential Approach" during consulting engagements in both private and public sectors, in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and in graduate business education. Consistently, through `experiential approaches' as described in "Organizational Behavior", adults learn more useful lessons from their experiences, learn what their lessons mean, learn how to generalize their learning for other applicable situations, AND apply more of their learning when they are back on the job. Experiential learning goes beyond merely increasing knowledge and actually changes individual (and organizational) behavior.
I highly recommend "Organizational Behavior: An Experiential Approach" for everyone working to achieve results through other people--and also for anyone seeking to better understand themselves and how they interact with other people.
Great book!.......2005-11-29
This book is great. I bought it thinking that I'd use it just for my organizational behavior class and I was wrong. The group exercises will definitely come in handy in future group assignments and in the workplace.
Conditionof book.......2005-07-05
the book was in excellent condition as promised. I am quite pleased. this is my first experience with anyone other than books-a-million and barnes and noble. I had to wait a little longer to get the book but I will not use the other retailers ever again.
Book Description
John Bernardin's Human Resource Management: An Experiential Approach, 3e provides both theoretical and experiential approaches to the study of human resource management (HRM) while focusing on the enhancement of the personal competencies of the students. After students are given the conceptual background and content necessary to understand the relevant issues in human resource management, they participate in individual and group exercises that require the application of chapter content to specific problems designed to develop critical personal competencies.

Needs a Little Flair!.......2000-05-01
I am using this book in my Human Resource Management class at HLG. Although the content of the book was excellent, the book lacks personality. The monotone color of the text, tables, etc. just seemed to blend everything together. It was hard to follow the instructor through the book during class because the points of emphasis didn't stand out. Personality aside, the content of the book and its easy to read format were a plus. There were several good examples within the text of real-world applications of the material. There was more docmentation in the notes section than in any other book I have ever seen. A little flair is all this book needs to be excellent!
HRM review.......2000-04-14
This review is for the book we are using in HRM class at HLG. I think that this is a solid book for HRM class. I do think that the chapters are a little long and the book needs some more color. Our teacher used alot of seperate handouts with this book. Some being comics or little cartoons that went along with HRM issues. I enjoyed them and I think this could be a good way to spice up the book. The many charts throughout the book gave much insight and were helpful at times to show what was really going on more than if it was written.

Book Description
Despite conflicting belief systems and other divisive problems, people can still learn from each other to create new knowledge. The medium is conversation. This challenging new book asserts that business conversations can be seen as social experiences through which we discover new ways of seeing the world, destroying the barriers between us. When this occurs, new knowledge can emerge or be developed. How can people learn from their differences, rather than be divided by them? One way is by creating conversational spaces--areas where conversation occurs. The authors show how such spaces are created, maintained, and enhanced, and how they are used to transform different interpretations and perspectives into new common understandings. With illustrations and case studies, the authors demonstrate the practical value of conversational learning in diverse organizational settings. Emphasis is shifted from techniques that are essentially insensitive to different contexts, attitudes, and beliefs, focusing instead on a theory of learning that is more social and interactive. This remarkable new source of explanatory theory validates an intensely pragmatic way to help organizations get people talking to one another, thereby advancing the well being of the organizations and those within them.

This is an extraordinary book, first of its kind.......2006-10-21
Experiential learning is something we understand or should understand. We learn from experience and this has been well documented in prior work on experiential learning. Collaborative learning strategies, simulations, games, and apprenticeships are all about experience. In this groundbreaking book, the authors provide the first referenced text on conversation as learning. If you really want to understand the experience of learning in conversation, I highly encourage you the read this outstanding book. The authors provide specific case studies of the concepts that they provide and their work is well referenced. This is one of those books that I have a hundred or so references tabbed for regular use. I refer to this work on a regular basis. Very powerful.

Book Description
A pioneering contribution to the professional training literature, this book is designed to help trainers and human resource managers to more effectively manage training programs. The author develops a unified framework for the training function that combines a systems perspective with the experiential learning approach to training efforts. The result is a step-by-step guide to conducting key phases of any training program: pre-assessment, needs analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation. Sims focuses throughout on the principles of good training program design as well as on training for the development of certain pivotal skills, competency levels, and individual differences. No prior knowledge of training procedures and techniques is required to successfully use the concepts introduced. The author begins by addressing training systems in general and the increasing need for training within the context of global markets and competition. He then discusses how to determine training needs within the individual organization. Subsequent chapters address each phase of the training process in turn. Sims reveals the importance of completing a thorough job analysis before embarking on a training program, shows how to design training programs to fill specific skill and competency needs, and demonstrates how to establish training objectives and determine program content. The experiential learning model is introduced as a viable system for managing the learning process in training in three major areas: the selection of training methods, trainees, and trainers; the development of certain training environments which are more responsive to trainee and trainer learning styles; and the provision of several psychological contracting activities which can facilitate various phases of a training program. Finally, Sims offers a systems analysis approach to the planning, design, and conduct of training program evaluations that includes a thorough discussion of the training audit and cost-benefit techniques. Both the novice and experienced trainer will find this book a comprehensive yet practical guide to the employee training process.

Book Description
Unique in approach, this book provides an interactive, learn-by-doing experience for developing HRM skills--readers are provided with a conceptual framework necessary to understand the relevant issues in HRM, and then develop behavioral skills in each area of HRM by actively participating in individual and team exercises which require the application of chapter content to specific organizational situations. Exceptionally straightforward and real-world throughout, it shows readers the relevance of topics from the very beginning through the extensive use of real-world illustrations and company examples showing how human resource management is being applied in today's organizations. It not only familiarizes readers with new methodologies and techniques for implementing HRM programs, but provides them with opportunities for personal growth and development as well. Walks readers systematically through a model "Success System" that shows them how to attract a high performing workforce, develop a high performing workforce, motivate a high performing workforce, maintain a high performing workforce, change a high performing workforce, and look toward the future. Ideal as an independent study guide for those wanting to learn more about organization change, or a comprehensive set of materials on how to initiate HR programs for the practicing HRM or operating manager. For management training and executive development in a variety of fields and at a variety of levels (from first-line supervision to top management teams)--e.g., bankers, engineers, nurses, teachers, public administrators, military officers, production managers, and marketing managers.
