"The editors of, and many of the contributors to, the proposed text
are internationally known and I have no concern about the quality
of the contents of the book. The subject area is important and will
continue to be so for many years ahead. The text will be a useful
addition to the literature for courses on change management or
occupational stress." Howard Kahn, Heriot University
"The range of chapters and authors is impressive. It is
particularly good to see authors from several continents included,
as befits a text on such global issues. There is also a good
balance between case studies, large scale studies, comparative data
and theory building... A book that offers guidelines on good
practice is always alluring and I believe that this will make it
very attractive to managers as well as management students. Overall
this would be a very useful book and a leader in a field of growing
contemporary and global relevance." Sue Lewis, Manchester
Metropolitan University
"This volume proposes to cover three highly topical issues...it
will be a timely collection..." Dale Zand, NYU
"... a thought-provoking and worthwhile book that attempts, through
empirical investigation and reflection, to shed light on some of
the most serious and worrying employment trends of our time. Its
beauty is in its injection of realism, which serves as a refreshing
if disturbing antidote to the overly simplistic and optimistic
prescriptions found in traditional management/MBA texts." Times
Higher Education Supplement
