'I like the short case studies which allow students to focus their attention on particular concepts. The longer case studies at the end of each chapter present more complex situations which students are likely to face in professional practice'. Alison Davies, BPP Business School
'Would I consider using this book as the core text for the Learning and Talent Development module? A categorical yes. This is a refreshing change from the other books available. The up-to-date and leading literature gives this text a great deal of academic kudos'. Gary Rees, Portsmouth Business School
