Rezensionen

"One strand running through all the volumes of theBlackwell Encyclopedia is that, while the entries maydevelop and explain the theoretical concepts of the field, there isalso an emphasis on their practical application. This makes thisset a good place to start for an overview and quick understandingof a topic - not just for students and researchers but alsofor practitioners." Reference Reviews, September2005

"Blackwell's second edition of this work is every bit asimpressive as the first. Bottom Line - Extensively revised, with 30percent new material throughout, this comprehensive resourceremains one of the most authoritative general businessencyclopedias available. Highly recommended for academic andspecial library business collections." Library Journal,August 2005

"This is a critical resource for anyone who wants toexplore questions on topics such as knowledge management,globalization, change management, business ethical issues, totalquality management, or benchmarking and manufacturing strategies.Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic libraries supportingbusiness/management programs at all academic levels and librariesbuilding a business collection." Choice,
