Books in the People and Organizations series

An in-depth analysis of four types of organisation and what makes them work.

Using information processing and leadership perception processes, the authors provide an analysis of executive leadership, offering a theoretical and empirical basis for analyzing this crucial element of organizational behaviour.

Based on detailed field studies, this book isolates two key behaviours which separate effective and ineffective managers. Combining existing theories of leadership, it presents a new model to help managers motivate their employees.

Angelo DeNisi reports on the results of ten years of research into cognitive processes, concentrating on how information is acquired, whether it is subject to bias and how this influences performance appraisal.
