Derek Salman PughRecensioni

A PhD handbook that felt more suitable for me (a European PhD candidate) than other books I've read, probably since this book focuses on British PhD students. Clear and actionable advice. The book contains less fluff that the usual how-to books. I skipped some of the chapters that were not relevant to my situation (how to examine, and advice for institutions).

Anyone considering doing a PhD should read this book. Anyone doing a PhD should buy this book and read it again and again and again!

As consumers, clients, customers or, perhaps most significantly, as employers or employees, everyone depends on formal organizations. This resource book explains how such organizations work and why people within them behave in the way they do. There are five separate but interrelated sections, each with a short introduction to the readings selected: organization structure, the organization in its environment, management and decision-making, people in organizations and organizational change and learning. The text is a companion volume to "Writers on Organizations" by Derek S. Pugh and Derek J. Hickson.
