Since consulting is one of the most rapidly-growing career paths in the United States, editors Hedge (a human resources expert with over 30 years of experience) and Borman (U. of South Florida) teamed up to produce this guide to the fundamentals in the field. Their colleagues contribute a number of essays on such I/O (industrial and organizational) topics as working as an independent consultant, networking, recruiting, performance management and strategic planning. This book has been written for graduate students of psychology, and anyone who wishes to embark upon an I/O consulting career. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
