First sentence: The last quarter of the twentieth century has witnessed dramatic changes in the way goods and services are produced.
Description: Despite the major impact changes in systems, strategies, and organizational structures have had on the way we do business, the performance of individual employees remains the most important factor determining a company's success. But the task of evaluating and affecting performance is more of a challenge today than ever before.

In this book, two dozen experts help human resource professionals meet that challenge by identifying the business trends that have had the biggest effect on employee performance and by providing specific strategies that will increase their ability to measure and manage it.
