Oxford University Press Knowledge Work and KnowledgeIntensive Firms
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the concept of knowledge, and its use in the contexts of work and organizations. It provides a critical understanding of current approaches to knowledge management, organization, and the ''knowledge economy''.The author describes a number of cases of ''knowledge intensive firms'', including IT firms, management consultancy firms, advertising agencies, and life science companies. He emphasizes the ambiguity of knowledge in the input, process, and output of professional work, and suggests that we should be careful in assuming too much about the nature, role, and effects of ''knowledge'' in business life. Instead we should understand the constructed nature of knowledge and scrutinize knowledge claims carefully.Alvesson looks at several aspects of management and working life, including human resource management issues, client control, and the regulation of identity. Rhetoric, symbolism, image, the politics of knowledge claims, and identity are all shown to be crucial foTrade ReviewThe real value of this book is that Alvesson's examination of knowledge management provides a much needed antithesis to the popular views on the subject. * Scandinavian Journal of Management *Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Understanding Language Testing
Book SynopsisUnderstanding Language Testing presents an introduction to language tests and the process of test development that starts at the very beginning. Assuming no knowledge of the field, the book promotes a practical understanding of language testing using examples from a variety of languages. While grounded on solid theoretical principles, the book focuses on fostering a true understanding of the various uses of language tests and the process of test development, scoring test performance, analyzing and interpreting test results, and above all, using tests as ethically and fairly as possible so that test takers are given every opportunity to do their best, to learn as much as possible, and feel positive about their language learning. Each chapter includes a summary, suggestions for further reading, and exercises. As such this is the ideal book for both beginning students of linguistics and language education, or anyone in a related discipline looking for a first introducTrade Review'This is a crisp, focused, readable and stimulating book.

Plentiful discussion questions, case examples, and other features clearly convey the practical implications of the material." —Eden B. King, Rice University, USA"Clear, comprehensive, well organized. After reading this book you will love I-O Psychology". This book is a perfect marriage of theory and practice. The authors give a comprehensive overview of all the different I-O Psychology topics in a very incisive way, while keeping the reader focused. All the practical examples and cases discussed are an excellent mental gym for students." —Sara Zaniboni, University of Bologna, ItalyPraise for Previous Edition:"This thorough and comprehensive text presents state-of-the-art science in an understandable form.

King, George Mason University"Psychology and Work will be a valuable asset to faculty teaching industrial/organizational psychology courses. One of the most unique and exciting aspects of this textbook is that it serves as an exemplar for infusing diversity within the curriculum. Every chapter presents varying perspectives and addresses the global implications of the key topics addressed in industrial/organizational psychology. Its use of up-to-date case studies, coverage of controversial issues in the field, and questions for thought will engage students and enhance their learning."—Carolyn Springer, Adelphi University"Truxillo, Bauer, and Erdogan take a fresh perspective in Psychology and Work by keeping their audience of students firmly in focus on every page. I felt more like I was in a room with these established social scientists, hearing them enthusiastically describe this exciting field to me, than I felt like I was reading a textbook. I especially loved the ‘What do you think?’ prompts at the end of the chapters; these challenge the students to go beyond learning concepts to thinking about how to really use them in practical ways."—Lisa Finkelstein, Northern Illinois University"This book is an excellent resource for undergraduate I-O Psychology classes. The in-depth concepts are well-explained and organized in a way that really engages readers. The book also has a strong psychology emphasis, focusing on the ideas relevant to the human side of I-O Psychology."—Nicholas Salter, Ramapo College"This is a great new contribution to the world of I-O textbooks. Students and instructors will not only find empirically-supported theory and practice, but will appreciate why it's engaging and fun to be an I/O psychologist."—Kurt Kraiger, Colorado State University"From the very first few pages, I could tell that Psychology and Work is a refreshingly different I/O psychology textbook. I was immediately drawn to the highly readable and clear writing styles of the three authors. The book reads as though I were sitting and listening to them present in a classroom. In the preface, the authors wrote that they "set out to create a book that would reflect [their] enthusiasm for the field as well as [their] love of both teaching and researching the many important issues involved in I/O psychology"…I believe they succeeded in doing just that and more...Psychology and Work makes it a joy for learners to not only digest a lot of information, but to also retain, and later retrieve that information (from memory or by referring back to the book)...I can’t say enough how clear and easy-to-understand the writing is throughout Psychology and Work!...It is truly a rare treat to find a book, written by college professors, that’s this much fun and easy to read! I only wish more I/O psychology textbooks were as well designed and written as Truxillo, Bauer, and Erdogan’s Psychology and Work.

Taylor & Francis Working with Americans
Book SynopsisFinalist in the Business Management and Leadership Category of the International Book Awards 2021-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this new, extensively updated second edition, authors Allyson Stewart-Allen and Lanie Denslow accurately capture the current US business environment and its changes since their best-selling 1st edition published in 2002. You'll find even more insights into the American business mindset, diversity and regions building on the acclaimed first edition so you can confidently negotiate, communicate and influence in the world's largest, most profitable and complex marketplace.Alongside their examination of the impact of 5 generations in today's US workforce, the authors explore the complex issues faced by American bosses including: levels of transparency expected of organizations in how they do business, ranging from etTrade Review"The business world is in a state of turbulence crossing all boundaries. Yet America, despite it all, remains consistent in its unique way of approaching opportunities....an openness to ideas, a somewhat chaotic process of vetting them, and a hope that each will uncover a rainbow at the end. Working with Americans will help you decode this journey and give you invaluable insights on how best to participate successfully on it." - Gary E Knell, Chairman, National Geographic Partners "There's never been a better time to arm yourself with this essential guide to transatlantic business practices. By explaining how to sidestep many of the common causes of misunderstanding and miscalculation, it cuts out the trial and error that bedevils so many new Anglo-American business relationships. It's a treasure trove of clear advice from first page to last and, having lived and worked in both the UK and US, I can vouch for its relevance and accuracy. I only wish I'd got hold of a copy sooner." - Patrick Jephson, Former Chief of Staff to Diana, Princess of Wales "Working with Americans or Learning from Americans. This book is a fascinating journey into a business culture that values each person as a unique individual. This coupled with an ingrained enthusiasm and attitude that anything is possible has created a learning environment for the business world in how to truly understand the power of diversity in leadership" - David Allen, President, Pandora EMEA "This is a must-have book for anyone wanting to work with and win business with American companies of all sizes. Expertly written with unique insights provided that will put you ahead in your quest for growth." - Brenda Santoro, Head of Global Trade, Silicon Valley Bank "‘Working with Americans’ is an indispensable read for anyone looking for a practical navigational aid in building and sustaining successful business relationships in one of the most complex markets in the world" - Lee Turlington, Global Chief Product Officer, Canada Goose "This is an essential how-to guide that should be required reading for anyone trying to win in the US" - Lord Stephen Carter, Group Chief Executive, Informa PLC "Full of clearly written advice and humorous examples, it could improve your relationships, especially in the business field."- The American Magazine "If you want to understand Americans better, then this is the book for you. This easy-to-read tome provides a great overview of the Land of Opportunity and key considerations for doing business with Americans. I particularly enjoyed learning about American culture and the reasons why Americans tend to be associated with certain characteristics. As the authors point out, the US was built by people who were willing to take risks to build a better life. The second paragraph of the United States Declaration of Independence states that "all men are created equal" and the authors explain that this concept has helped to shape American society as we know it. People believe in the American Dream – the idea anyone can achieve financial prosperity provided they work hard and show determination. In fact, as the book reveals, Americans are hardworking people. The book highlights that they get comparatively little ‘vacation’, which explains why they tend to value time very highly. Punctuality is extremely important to Americans and they regard a deadline as a ‘promise’ rather than a ‘goal’. Another important element of American culture is that it is highly individualistic, a trait that dates back to the country’s founding Pilgrims. The Pilgrims believed each person had an individual relationship with God. Today, the individualism of Americans is reflected in the personalised products and services that businesses offer to their consumers. The US is also known for its innovative culture. According to the authors, Darwinism is the national religion of the US. Individuals and organisations are expected to keep evolving. Also, there is a willingness to ‘fail fast, fail often’. In other words, American companies are willing to learn from market tests to improve the next iterations of their products. Experimentation is seen as the route to growth. After reading this book, I came away with heightened respect for the US as a society. Perhaps the book would benefit from a little more practical advice on how to build lasting relationships with Americans, but I found it both an enjoyable and informative read." - Sally Percy, Editor of ‘Edge’, Spring 2021 Table of ContentsForeword, Introduction, Acknowledgements, Part 1 Background, 1.
