"One strand running through all the volumes of the Blackwell
Encyclopedia is that, while the entries may develop and explain
the theoretical concepts of the field, there is also an emphasis on
their practical application. This makes this set a good place to
start for an overview and quick understanding of a topic -
not just for students and researchers but also for practitioners."
- Reference Reviews
"Blackwell's second edition of this work is every bit as
impressive as the first. Bottom Line: Extensively revised, with 30
percent new material throughout, this comprehensive resource
remains one of the most authoritative general business
encyclopedias available. Highly recommended for academic and
special library business collections." -Library
Journal
"This is a critical resource for anyone who wants to explore on
topics such as knowledge management, globalization, change
management, business ethical issues, total quality management, or
benchmarking and management strategies. Summing up: Highly
recommended. Academic libraries supporting business/management
programs at all academic levels and libraries building a business
collection." - Choice
