Library Journal Review

This new addition to the ``Portable MBA'' series presents an executive management guide to issues such as teamwork, change, and leadership. Part 1 addresses personal and interpersonal needs such as leadership styles and methods, career development, and power and politics from ethical and strategic viewpoints. Part 2 examines needs at the organizational level, including organizational design, human resource management, and diversity. The book combines both conceptual and practical material. The diagnostic questions posed in the power and politics section provide an excellent tool for managers to assess the ethical implications of their actions. An impressive collection of experts contributed to this recommended volume.-- Grace Klinefelter, Ft. Lauderdale Coll. (c) Copyright 2010.

CHOICE Review

Cohen, along with 15 other leading business scholars who contribute chapters, offers this book for anyone without the time and resources to pursue a standard MBA degree. The work is designed to develop management skills and organizational knowledge about a wide array of present-day management issues at the MBA level. Chapters do a credible job of blending theory and practice as they address visionary leadership, team building, behavior, power and politics, negotiating strategy, careers, organizational design and effectiveness, human resources, self-management teams, diversity, and change. No single book or series (Wiley's "The Portable MBA Series" has six books out and ten forthcoming) can replace an earned classroom MBA degree, but this volume provides insights into managerial concerns and skills needed to deal successfully with today's dynamic global business environment. This guide's primary audience is managers, professionals, and business owners. Additionally, students and consultants will find the book insightful and helpful. This up-to-date resource is highly recommended for public and academic library business collections. J. W. Leonard; Miami University
