<p> Entries in The Way We Work: An Encyclopedia of Business Culture do provide an interesting snapshot of today's American office culture and topics ranging from E-mail to Killer App and Napster show how technology has pervaded our business culture. - <p>ARBA

It is a reference work clearly intended for school and college levels, but in its selection of entries and in the clear style of the entries, it does a good job in representing many of the key terms and ideas currently washing around in business and management culture and practice. A book such as this is like having a helpful expert at your elbow, one who has anticipated the kinds of queries you have when starting business and management studies. -Reference Reviews
