| Summary |
In helping establish a new field of study in the organizational sciences, POS, this book examines a variety of positive dynamics in businesses and organizations that give rise to extraordinary outcomes.

This collection of essays, written by established senior scholars, explains why and how these commonsense prescriptions work. |
