The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First
Jeffrey Pfeffer
Examines why conventional wisdom is wrong and asks us to re-think the way managers link people with organizational performance. This work builds a business case for managing people effectively - because it makes for good corporate policy and it results in good performance and profits. It provides guidance for managing people more profitably.
