    This book was a required reading text for class. I was delightfully surprised at how much I gained from it. It gives good insight to the how's and why's of business decisions and more.

  • Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014
    This text was required for an Industrial/Organizational Psychology course. It has to be one of the worst academic texts I have EVER used. It is painfully boring, not super readable and every chapter is literally nothing but 40 pages of non-stop text. No visually stimulating pictures, NADA. To make matters worse, this was for an online class so it was really the only tool I had for discussion posts and exams. If you are a professor, PLEASE do not assign this book. Your students will thank you for it.

    I needed this for a psychology course but I will keep it for reference because of all the useful interview information.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013
    I expected the textbook to be in good condition, however I would say it was borderline poor. The cover was in rough shape. After a few gentile uses the spine split apart. Be weary of the condition it might arrive in. However for the actual text, it is very helpful and informative.
