Review Up and Running: Integrating Information Technology and the Organization / Harvard Business School Press:Information technology (IT) is revolutionizing how businesses operate. Indeed, advanced IT is becoming the single most powerful force shaping the structure and functioning of work organizations-plants, offices, and executive suites. But as managers across the country can verify, the revolution has not been without casualties: systems don't run the way they're supposed to, millions of dollars are lost in downtime and missed opportunities, and computer systems intended to expand creativity and productivity instead produce unwanted organizational responses and remain underutilized, symbols of the gap between good intentions and actual results. What accounts for this situation, according to Richard Walton, is management's failure to fully appreciate the interdependence of technology and organization. Although planners may understand the profound side effects that technology can have on organizations, they make little or no effort to predict or manage them, and they wind up unprepared when they go wrong. Using the experiences of diverse organizations such as IBM, AT&T, GE, Rolls-Royce, Mrs. Fields Inc, the IRS, and twelve others, Up and Running concretely illustrates the many ways in which IT and organizational dynamics can impinge upon one another, both positively and negatively. Walton takes the reader through each step of the implementation process, from creating a context that will ensure that new IT systems are "aligned, owned, and mastered," through the design phase where technical and social components of the IT system are integrated, and finally on through the introduction and diffusion phases. Up and Running provides a practical framework that can help organizations get the most out of their information systems. It offers new and revealing insights on a number of critically important features that planners and researchers alike have widely overlooked, features that have kept organizations from reaping the full benefits of technological advances.

Review The Hidden Brain Drain: Off-Ramps and On-Ramps in Women's Careers / Harvard Business School Press:Corporations have done a dismal job of retaining female talent. Indeed, they make it very easy for women to depart. When women take a temporary leave of absence to have children or deal with other personal matters, they find it difficult to return to work and contribute as they had previously. In essence, corporations provide women with many career off-ramps, but provide them with few on-ramps. This problem bodes badly for CEOs and top managers who view human resources as a critical asset. This research report, based on an extensive study by the Center for Work-Life Policy, a nonprofit research firm in New York City, provides the first comprehensive view of the forces behind the ongoing exodus of talented women from the workforce. The study identifies the reasons why women lose much of their earning power when they "off-ramp" and outlines the limited possibilities for finding on-ramps, or reentry points, for those wishing to re-enter. With in-depth case studies and dozens of charts and tables accompanied by insightful interpretations of the data, the report constitutes one of the most detailed looks at the hidden brain drain that will prevent companies from effectively competing in the incipient war for talent.

Review Manage People, Not Personnel: Motivation and Performance Appraisal / Harvard Business School Press:Anyone who has supervised people knows that motivating employees and evaluating their performance can be frustrating and difficult. This book is designed to help managers carry out their tasks. The essays, which originally appeared in the Harvard Business Review, feature the best thinking available from leading academics and executives about what works and what doesn't in getting top performance from employees. The book includes many of the classic works on employee motivation and performance appraisal by such prominent people as Rosabeth Moss Knater, Harry Levinson, and Frederick Herzberg. Manage People, Not Personnel will be of interest to employers in large and small firms, human resource managers, and others who look to the Harvard Business Review for the best in practitioner-oriented articles in business management. "The articles in this collection represent the wide spectrum of views of leading scholars and practitioners interested in motivation and performance appraisal. Some of the diversity can be attributed to the fact that the articles have been written over a 30-year period during which much has been learned about the topics. However, it would be a mistake to assume that controversy no longer exists. The readers of this volume will be exposed to and, it is hoped, will participate in a lively debate concerning motivation and performance appraisal-issues of fundamental importance to management". -Victor H. [+]Vroom, from the Preface.
