This second edition integrates accounts of contemporary areas such as strategic management and virtual team-working. There is greater emphasis on the application of theory. Improved support features include research close-ups, discussion points, and three extensive case studies. There are new chapters on the changing nature of work, the creation of inclusive organizations, and issues and steps involved in providing competent consultancy to organizations. Contributors live and work in Europe and have been asked to consider the European context in their writing. Chmiel is director of Occupational Psychology at Queen's University Belfast.
