The Fourth Edition places heightened emphasis on strategic management for the organization and provides leading-edge information and techniques on self-managing teams, innovative organizational structuring, team composition, and alternative teams. Enhanced throughout with new diagrams, tables, chapter summaries, checklists, and case studies, this publication sets a standard of excellence that is not found in any other book on the subject.
