Riassunto

Continuous change, increased competition, and an uncertain future make today's organizations challenging and sometimes terrifying. Kenneth N. Wexley and Stanley B. Silverman tackle the sources of fear head on: functioning during downsizing, working with less supervision and in team cultures, dealing with diversity in the workplace, succeeding in overseas assignments or in total quality environments, and surviving mergers and acquisitions. In each case, the authors present positive, practical solutions to the problems American workers face and show people how to adapt to change and to succeed in today's turbulent business world.
