How this book made it to 7 editions without anyone noticing how poorly written it was is a mystery. Chances are very high that if you're reading this, you're a student and you have to buy this book for class. I'm sorry. Do yourself a favor and rent the Kindle edition so at least you won't have wasted as much money. If you're a professor, know that if you selected this book for your class, your students now hate you.

I thought this book was great. I have read a couple reviews by officianado's who say that the authors are using old references. To this I say garbage! There have been so many changes in how business has been done in the last 4 years of financial turmoil that I felt all the reference material was great. As a matter of fact, I copied the pages out of the back of the book with all the references so I could circle the article names and do research on the material used. I found the references helpful and augmented my learning process. I look at what I knew 8 weeks ago and what I have learned and would say Thank You to Nelson and Quick for their diligence in writing a good book.

I ordered this book and did not receive it in time. Although I did not expedite the shipping, I almost always receive my Amazon purchases within a week. This took much longer and I needed the book for my class. I ended up not using the book and made other arrangements.

I let the seller know. The seller was very courteous and wanted to make sure I was satisfied. They offered me a full refund on the book, if I returned it. I took them up on the offer. I really appreciate it.

Issues happen from time to time, but how they are resolved is what counts. I am very satisfied and would consider using this seller again for my future purchases.

Thanks!

This text was a let down in many areas. I purchased this text for a 300 level organizational behavior class and was surprised at how much it lacked new research and instead was built around studies and ideas that have largely evolved in the I/O field. I have taken other I/O classes and would recommend other texts, as this one clearly is not the best. Furthermore, this text is FULL OF TYPOS!!! One of many being that Mark Zuckerberg (founder of FB) is spelled "Mark Zuckerman" throughout the text. I purchased this text along with the older sixth edition, and the only difference between the two is that the 7th edition has updated case studies, THATS IT!!! You would likely be able to pass your class with the older edition, which costs $5 here on Amazon. Overall this text was a disappointment and a perfect example of the publisher trying to sell a "new edition" that contains virtually no new information.

Cheers,

I received the book in a few days, which was right before my course started. The book was in excellent condition and contained all the original software. Very impressed.

Amazon very nicely allowed me to return the product because my professor decided to use another book for class.
However it was weird how they said that if you printed out this slip and put it on the original package it would be free but then they just ended up taking the shipping money out of my refund.
