Despite the significance and prevalence of errors in organizations,
there has been no attempt within the field of Industrial and
Organizational Psychology to create a single source summarizing
what we know regarding errors in organizations and providing a
focused effort toward identifying future directions of research.
This volume answers that need and provides contributions by
researchers who have conducted a considerable amount of research on
errors occurring in the work context. Students, academics and
practitioners in a wide range of disciplines, i.e., industrial
organizational psychology, medicine, aviation, human factors and
systems engineering, will find this book of interest.
Originally published in 1985, this book was an attempt at a
comprehensive review of the psychology of action in various areas
of psychology. It is also an attempt to bridge two languages and
traditions in psychology: German and Anglo-American. Although
Anglo-American psychology had had an enormous influence on German
psychology, the influence had not gone the other way around - at
least not in recent years. Therefore, this book attempts to get the
two traditions to speak with each other. The main article, from one
language area, and the following discussion, from the other
language area, together result in an extensive treatment of an
action-theoretic approach in the respective psychological area;
thus, both the main article and "discussion" should be read
together.
This book examines planning as the critical influence on
performance at work and in organizations. Bridging theory and
practice, it unites cutting-edge research findings from cognitive
science, social psychology, industrial and organizational
psychology, strategic management, and entrepreneurship, and
describes the practical applications of these research findings for
practitioners interested in improving planning performance in
organizations.

Entrepreneurship is essential for international social and economic
well-being, as new ventures are the dominant source of job
creation, market innovation, and economic growth in many societies.
In this book, a noted group of researchers use findings, methods,

entire process of starting a new business; characteristics of the
individual entrepreneur; the history of entrepreneurship education;
the cross-cultural effects of entrepreneurship; and the viewpoints
