While "The Organization in Crisis" is more focused on the organization, this book aims to look at the changing conditions of work and the challenges these pose for workers. Containing 20 chapters written by a team of North American and European authors, this text aims to combine up-to-date research and practice.

"One of the great social paradoxes of the past two decades involves the massive influx of women into the managerial ranks yet the continuation of inequality in both employment and family responsibilities. Women now represent over 40% of the workforce in most Western countries and will be an even more significant component in the future. Organizations, however, have been slow to capitalise on the potential of their women employees. In particular, they have frequently left undeveloped the human resource provided by their competent, promising female managers. To remain competitive, organizational leaders must recognise the valuable resource that women represent in management and administrative positions and use them effectively. Managers at all levels need to develop the attitudes and expertise to make full use of their female managers and professionals. Research can provide a recognition of these major issues involved and an understanding of how to deal with them, so that managers will become more effective in their roles." "The overall aim of this book is to present a comprehensive overview of the current international research findings concerning women in management. The international group of eminent contributors highlight the major barriers and problems facing managers, discuss the individual and organizational consequences and recommend organizational and legislative changes."--BOOK JACKET.

"The Organization in Crisis" brings together a team of international researchers and practitioners to study the implementation and impact of organizational changes such as downsizing, restructuring and privatization. The text provides a unique combination of research, theory and practice, and not only examines key issues associated with organizational change, but also suggests how such changes can be better managed in the future. Specific topics considered include the new employment relationship and its implications for careers, how organizational changes are affecting manager's views of their working lives, ethical issues in downsizing, and best practices for organizational renewal and revitalization. A range of case studies provides world-wide examples of initiatives being undertaken by leading-edge firms. Together, the contributors capture the global nature of the difficulties confronting organizational leaders and highlight the need for creative solutions.

"Organizations today are facing heightened challenges in their efforts to perform effectively. These challenges are reflected in the failure of many long-standing organizations and the shortened tenure of senior level executives. There is increasing agreement that the unique competitive advantage organizations have today lies in their people, their human resource management practices and their cultures. All other elements of production can be readily obtained, bought or copied. We are now in the era of human capital; to be successful organizations need to unleash the talents of their people. Fortunately we now have considerable understanding of what high performing organizations look like. However, a large gap still exists between what we know and what managers actually do. With contributions from a team of leading academics and practitioners, Building More Effective Organizations provides an extensive survey of human resource management and the organizational practices associated with the high performance of individuals." - publishers description.
