Challenging Material.......2003-09-09
Insofar from what I have read the book, I find it very challenging. It is not an easy book to read and master. One has to be willing to read again and again the assigned chapters to understand(especially chapter 1).But the material is very interesting. Thank you Ms. Allen!

Workplace success..........2007-03-29
This book has all sorts of information that will help any group of people working together get along better because of a greater understanding of different kinds of people.
not for MBA students.......2006-03-16
This book was required for an MBA class. It is more suited for undergraduates. It does not encourage deeper thinking or analysis appropriate for the graduate level.
The book is strong in theoretical understanding but weak in management applications. It is nice to be able to list the names of motivation theories, for example, but the authors seem uanble to provide criteria one might want to consider for policy decisions. I wonder if this book is by and for academics who have no real life work experience but need to publish or perish.
End of chapter supplementary articles are only from the New York Times. Although the book's introductory material lets us know how wonderful this is, a greater variety of source material would enhance the overall effectiveness. After all, the book does speak of diversity.
To its credit, the book is reasonably readable and does not overwhelm us with too much esoteric academic speak.
Great book. Must have it, if you are studying Org. Behavior.......2005-03-14
A colorful introductory textbook on organizational behavior that integrates concepts, theories, and research findings to examine individuals in organizations, groups and organizational processes, and inter-group relations and the organizational context. Case studies illuminate concepts and provide managerial implications. There is a diversity of heuristic features, some integrated into the text and some at the end of each chapter or part.
Great book. Must have it, if you are studying Organizational Behaviors (OB).
Also, this book is well known to many of top ranked universities in Graduate Programs (MBA) and No. of copies this books have been sold are in few hundred thousands !!! (@ 380,000 copies) justifies it's strength and quality of knowledge as well.

I got it and the quality is great. Thank you!
Book Description
During the past decade, employee turnover has become a very serious problem for organizations. Managing retention and keeping the turnover rate below target and industry norms is one of the most challenging issues facing business. All indications point toward the issue compounding in the future and, even as economic times change, turnover will continue to be an important issue for most job groups. Yet despite these facts employee turnover continues to be the most unappreciated and undervalued issue facing business leaders.
There are a variety of reasons for this, for example, the true cost of employee turnover is often underestimated. The causes of turnover are not adequately identified, and solutions are often not matched with the causes, so they fail. Preventive measures are either not in place or do not target the issues properly, and therefore have little or no effect, and a method for measuring progress and identifying a monetary value (ROI) on retention does not exist in most organizations.
'Managing Employee Retention' is a practical guide for managers to retain their talented employees. It shows how to manage and monitor turnover and how to develop the ROI of keeping your talent using innovative retention programs. The book presents a logical process of managing retention, from identifying turnover costs and causes, designing solutions that match the causes of turnover, developing tools for tracking turnover and placing alerts when action is needed, and measuring the ROI of retention programs.
* Shows how to accurately cost turnover, providing examples and actual data from hundreds of organizations
* Presents effective ways to identiry the causes of turnover so the problems can be quickly rectified
* Shows how to measure the monetary return on investment of retention programs

Book Description
Whilst there are many books on knowledge management there are few aimed directly at HR practitioners and the critical role that they can play in building a knowledge-centric culture.
This practical book draws on the author's own experience, as well as that of leading-edge Human Resource and Knowledge Management practitioners (including Linda Holbeche, Elizabeth Lank, and David Snowden), each of whom recognise that building a knowledge-centric culture cannot be achieved through technology alone.
It covers areas such as:
* Defining the key ingredients of a knowledge-centric culture
* The changing structures, roles and responsibilities needed to create a knowledge-centric culture
* HR's unique contribution to building a knowledge-centric culture, together with practical steps for getting started on the KM journey and for keeping the momentum going
* Tools and techniques for: opening up a dialogue about why knowledge management is crucial for business and personal success; knowledge mapping; encouraging and facilitating knowledge sharing, as well as ways of identifying key knowledge players
* How to help your organisation reframe its assumptions about learning in the knowledge economy
* How to ensure that your HR practices are knowledge aligned
*Outline the strategic and practical elements of HR's involvement in knowledge management
*Features contributions from Dave Snowden and Elizabeth Lank
*Practical case studies to help create an organizational culture that knows how to mobilize and leverage its knowledge
Book Description
This book is ideal for students of advanced undergraduate modules in HRM, masters programs in HRM, CIPD specialist electives and MBA and DMS students.
Starting from the premise that managing human resources strategically is crucial for long term organizational success this book is essential reading for both future line managers as well as specialist Human Resource Managers. The authors define 'human resources' as the capabilities and potential that people bring to work organizations.
They examine the process of negotiation, argument, conflict and resolution in all human resource exchanges within a range of management issues. Within this process, the authors suggest, organizational managers need to make a series of strategic choices among which a direct or an indirect, evolving human resource strategy is critical.
