This third edition is designed in a user friendly format with twenty-five chapters instead of the previous twelve, making the content more accessible, 'bite-sized' and student-friendly. It substantially revises and extends old favourites including whole chapters on gender and international management issues for the first time. Current debates on surveillance, managing diversity, knowledge work, high performance work systems and learning in organizations are discussed, and new chapters on change and teamwork have been added.
