Management, Reference 

In this definitive book, one of Britain's leading authorities on Management Development examines how organisations assess potential, plan promotion, compare internal and external courses, combine formal and informal approaches, focus on the different needs of individuals, and find ways to help them all learn from experience. Earlier editions have been widely acclaimed. The fourth edition of "Management Development", substantially recasts earlier editions of the text giving greater emphasis to detailed research and theories on Management Development. It retains the practical insights of one of the UK's best-known experts on the subject, while including greater coverage of academic theory and student friendly pedagogy. The text covers the CIPD standards in this area as well as offering an outstanding overview of the subject area for both students at undergraduate and postgraduate level as well as practitioners. - from Amzon
