There is a strong movement today in management to encourage
management practices based on research evidence. In the first
volume of this handbook, I asked experts in 39 areas of management
to identify a central principle that summarized and integrated the
core findings from their specialty area and then to explain this
principle and give real business examples of the principle in
action. I asked them to write in non-technical terms, e.g., without
a lot of statistics, and almost all did so.

The previous handbook proved to be quite popular, so I was asked
to edit a second edition. This new edition has been expanded to 33
topics, and there are some new authors for the previously included
topics. The new edition also includes: updated case examples,
updated references and practical exercises at the end of each
chapter. It also includes a preface on evidence-based management.
The principles for the first edition were intended to be relatively
timeless, so it is no surprise that most of the principles are the
same (though some chapter titles include more than one
principle).

This book could serve as a textbook in advanced undergraduate
and in MBA courses. It could also be of use to practicing managers
and not just those in Human Resource departments. Every practicing
manager may not want to read the whole book, but I am willing to
guarantee that every one will find at least one or more chapters
that will be practically useful. In this time of economic crisis,
the need for effective management practices is more acute than
ever.
