The IPD examination system provides a unique route into professional personnel practice. The Management Studies series has been designed for IPD students. Management Studies I provides practical introductory texts ideally suited to students on the Professional Management Foundation Programme while Management Studies 2 covers the core subject areas of the IPD Stage 2 syllabus. All these texts will prove equally useful for practising managers who wish to enhance their understanding of contemporary management techniques and methods. In this book, Jane Weightman sets out the main theories of individual and group psychology, communication and learning and then proceeds to show how they can be applied in practice. Later sections consider recruitment and selection, developing competence and dealing with problem people. The second edition includes a completely new chapter on reward systems and expanded coverage of both motivation and performance management.
