Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/aec47b/assessment_centres)
has announced the addition of the "Assessment Centres and Global
Talent Management" book to their offering.
Globalization, innovation, market share, identifying visionary
leaders and, particularly, talent management are just some of the
issues that benefit from using assessment and development centres.
Assessment Centres and Global Talent Management focuses on topics
that influence the design of the assessment centre in terms of the
competencies being assessed, the exercises that are used and the
nature of the event, so that they can deliver what is required;
often to change organizational culture and values.
Practical examples and case studies are sprinkled throughout the
book as international contributors explore cross-cultural
implications, and consider how the design, development and use of
assessment centres should be adapted to different cultures. Some of
the world's leading researchers and practitioners outline their
research into new applications for assessment centre methods,
showing how they have used it to design and implement specific
assessment and development centres.
This is a book from which practitioners can see how science
informs good practice, and scholars will find the 32 chapters a
rich source of ideas for conducting research into emerging issues
in the field.
Reviews:
'Destined to be a classic for both practitioners and researchers
that will take the assessment centre method to new levels of
efficiency and accuracy. Really new insights and research that
answer questions about assessment center design, validity,
arithmetic data integration, and new techniques and simulations
based on research from 18 countries. Easy to read and to focus in
on specific areas of interest.' William C. Byham, Ph.D.Chairman
& CEO, Development Dimensions International, Inc.
'This comprehensive anthology integrates and extends theory,
research, and practice; it shows how Assessment Centers may be used
to build corporate strategies of globalization, innovation, and
customer service; and it clearly demonstrates the global reach of
Assessment Centers.' Dave Ulrich, Ross School of Business,
University of Michigan, Partner, the RBL Group
