Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

... wonderful example of an approach to the study of complexity in organisational change in employment ... The use of verbatim quotes from employees (including managers) is excellent as is the deep description and analysis of the nature of change. While many writers refer rather vaguely to trends in 'globalisation' or 'work flexibility' the great strength of this book is the way the authors give real meaning and flesh to these terms and many others.
