Library Journal Review

In this two-part work, a team of managers addresses the complex issues that confront today's managers. The first part examines the skills involved in time management, feedback, budgeting, and staff development. The second part, which examines managing diversity, covers current topics such as the glass ceiling, the mommy track, mentoring, sexual harassment, and issues for women managers. Each chapter could be read and used individually. While Allan R. Cohen's The Portable MBA in Management (Wiley, 1993) and Mary C. Gentile's Dfferences That Work (Harvard Business School, 1994) cover similar topics and case examples, this work provides in-depth coverage of more of the curent issues. A bibliography would have been useful. Recommended for management collections.-Joan A. Traugott, MLS, West Babylon, N.Y. (c) Copyright 2010.
