Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-19 00:00:00 Mariette Deveau I have mixed feelings about this book. It sorely needs editing and updating. Too often, the writing devolves into this format: "Concept A can be broken into these four sub-concepts. Here is a citation to someone who wrote about each one. Okay, here is the next concept." These parts read like an inexperienced student essayist who knows she needs to mention concept A, but hasn't taken the time to think about it, or analyze what others have said about it or even, for goodness's sake, report what the others actually said. However, despite the occasional false notes, I learned a *lot* from this book. It opened my eyes to the world of management theories, something I knew nothing about. My newly opened eyes were suddenly able to spot missteps and reasons for various failures in my own workplace. I found the chapters on Change, Leadership, and Motivation to be the most valuable. Apparently there's a third edition that will come out this year, so perhaps future management students are in for a treat!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-29 00:00:00 Jeremy Fleet I have finished my last textbook for my MLS degree with this one. I'm glad this was my last book because it provided some great managerial advice which I will take and use in the future. There were a few things here and there I wish would have been explained better, but overall I am very happy with this one. I'm glad I will have it on my shelf for my future career in librarianship.
