Reviews

...a useful addition for academic libraries that support an undergraduate and graduate management program. * American Reference Books Annual *
"The biographies are written by knowledgeable authors whose names appear in a roster. The subject-specific bibliographies that accompany the majority of entries are not exhaustive, but limited to the most important and relevant works. A general bibliography of standard reference works--and works concerning management history used in preparing the encyclopedia--contains additional information on the subjects...
