"This book provides much to consider about an easily overlooked but clearly important topic in organisational behaviour. Those who are concerned with the investigation of, or interventions to improve, performance in organisations are recommended to check it out." - Denham Phipps, The Psychologist"Planning is a critical yet vastly under-researched topic in the organizational sciences. It impacts and is impacted by leadership, creativity and innovation, forecasting, and performance at multiple levels of analysis. That is why this book about the psychology of planning in organizations is so important. Frese and Mumford have assembled a who’s who of authors from cognitive science, social psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and various areas of organizational studies to summarize and critic the current planning research and applications as well as build the models and set the future research agenda for the entire planning arena involving individuals, teams, and organizations. They should be commended for their efforts; and readers should enjoy and benefit from their compendium." - Francis J. Yammarino, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Management and Director, Center for Leadership Studies, Binghamton University, USA"The authors provide compelling evidence for the benefits of planning, not just for the organization, but for individuals and teams, and examine its particular relevance to domains often seen at odds with planning, such as innovation and emotions. Of critical importance, the book includes practical, research-supported guidance on how to avoid common planning pitfalls, and strategies for engaging in effective planning." - Tamara L. Friedrich, University of Warwick, UK"This book is a highly informative--and overdue--treatise on planning in organizations. The role of planning in organizations has been degraded for several decades, despite research indicating its criticality for effective short and long term functioning. This book provides a comprehensive foundation for a 'revival of research' in this area, and brings together an eclectic mix of eminent scholars from different disciplines to support that foundation. The multilevel approach from individuals to teams and organizations is particularly welcome. This is a very important piece of work that should galvanize research and thinking on planning in organizations." - Stephen Zacarro, George Mason University, USA
