How is it that so many seemingly intelligent organizations implement harmful management practices and ideas? In his provocative new book, \u003ci\u003eThe Human Equation\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author Jeffrey Pfeffer examines why much of the current conventional wisdom is wrong and asks us to re-think the way managers link people with organizational performance. Pfeffer masterfully builds a powerful business case for managing people effectively--not just because it makes for good corporate policy, but because it results in outstanding performance and profits. Challenging current thinking and practice, Pfeffer: reveals the costs of downsizing and provides alternatives; identifies troubling trends in compensation, and suggests better practices; explains why even the smartest managers sometimes manage people unwisely; demonstrates how market-based forces can fail to create good people management practices, creating a need for positive public policy; and provides practical guidelines for implementing high-performance management practices. Filled with information and ideas, \u003ci\u003eThe Human Equation\u003c\/i\u003e provides much-needed guidance for managing people more wisely and more profitably.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Pfeffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0875848419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875848419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Business Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 1.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/1998 pg. 886\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1997 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/02\/1997","brand":"Jeffrey Pfeffer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072863138047,"sku":"9780875848419","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd89c061-f7ad-4759-8952-8aa4fd21b175.jpg?v=1685444378","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-human-equation-jeffrey-pfeffer-9780875848419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
