Sommario/riassunto

In this era of rapidly changing organizational environments, the task of executive selection is critical. There are stories in the popular press almost daily about the failure of a CEO or a member of top management, pointing up a need for more and better information for those who make selection decisions. This bibliography speaks to that need. The summaries here direct the reader to morethan 100 carefully chosen books and articles on such issues as how to do selection, how to avoid costly mistakes, and how to predict executive success.
