Workforce Reductions: An Annotated Bibliography

Brings together the prevailing thinking surrounding the issue of workforce reduction to help managers and executives ensure a successful transition to a more robust and effective organization. Articles and books reviewed were found in both practitioner-oriented sources such as magazines and popular books, as well as scholarly journals. Sources were selected for annotation based on their perceived relevance to the body of literature, their unique perspective, and their general interest. Entries are in-depth, with many a page or more in length. Annotations are organized in three sections on the organizational, the organization-individual relationship, and the individual perspectives. Section introductions summarize key themes. Hickok holds a Doctor of Public Administration degree from the University of Southern California, and is a consultant to the US Defense Intelligence Agency. Annotation c.
