This is a compendium of leading-edge research on pressing organizational problems - but presented in simple language, with a focus on workable, real-world solutions. Among the 11 important problems addressed are corrosive organizational politics, service two (or more) masters, overworked people, underemployed human resources, and analysis paralysis.
