Backed by solid theory and research, this book is based on the belief that if decision making throughout an organisation is to be coherent and productive, decision makers must share a common viewpoint about the ends towards which their efforts are directed; a viewpoint consisting of knowledge about the organisation's culture, vision and its ongoing plans and activities.

Image theory represents a logical extension of earlier work on a contingency model of decision strategies. It is based on a belief that most people, most of the time, for most decisions use fairly unanalytic strategies. Image theory is intended to provide a radical departure from the prevailing paradigm of rational decision making. This theory uses terms like images, values, principles and fittingness, and argues that the domain of traditional decision theory is probably a poor description of most decision processes.

Here's practical help for the day-to-day concerns that keep managers awake at night. Written in an informal, first-person style, this useful book fills the gap between the legal and policy issues that are the mainstay of human resources and supervision courses and the real-world needs of managers as they attempt to cope with the human side of their jobs. The author is a noted scholar in both cognitive psychology and organizational studies, and has drawn from extensive personal experience as well as careful observation of good and bad managers. "The Human Element" is organized around six fundamental commitments that good employee managers make in order to succeed. It is filled with practical examples and step-by-step guidelines for performing important tasks and dealing with common problems - everything from how to conduct a meeting, to how to write a code of conduct, to how to diagnose the cause of performance problems. "The Human Element" is designed to reduce the stress of management by providing insight into why employees do what they do, and what to do about it. It is an ideal supplement for any course in "people management," including supervision, HRM, and applied OB courses.

Leadership and the Art of Change is a unique book in that it focuses on a leader′s central and most daunting task―achieving organizational change that successfully addresses external and internal threats and opportunities. Author Lee R. Beach uses six prime responsibilities as the framework for discussing change leadership: external and internal environmental assessment to identify required changes, organizational culture as a constraint on change, vision for motivating change; plans as a map for change, implementation to produce change, and follow-through for institutionalizing achieved changes and making ongoing change a part of the culture.
