Summary: Hitchcock's "The Birds" - Coming Soon to an Office Near You
Review: In 1963 Alfred Hitchcock made a movie based on a phenomenon well-known in nature, called "mobbing". It was a topic ideally suited for a horror flick, because it involves animals ganging up to attack - and usually kill - an individual. Years later, the German-Swedish psychologist Heinz Leymann, wrote a seminal paper in which he referred to a certain type of office behavior as "mobbing". This has been a very hot topic in Europe for some time now. Unfortunately, when Leymann's paper was translated into English, the word "mobbing" was usually replaced by either "bullying" or "psychoterror", both of which are misleading. Tony Belak's article attempts to differentiate "mobbing" from "bullying". His language, especially considering the ferocity and long-term damage inflicted by "mobbing", is moderate and understated. He does not include any graphs or figures. That may be a pity: the statistics from Europe indicate that "mobbing" almost always results in the victim losing his or her job, and very frequently indeed involves long-term or permanent disability. As a clear introduction to a poorly understood and very expensive workplace phenomenon, Belak's article is highly recommended to both managers and human resource personnel.

Summary: Save your money
Review: You can find this info anywhere on the web - save your $3.50, because you can't return the e-doc when you find out its simply a glossy flyer consisting of less than 1400 words and 4 pages of "content". I feel tricked that the title of the e-doc is so similar to the Davenport book that is so popular. The words scam and cheesy come to mind - and its dissapointing that a university has its name attached to this e-doc. I'm really dissapointed in Belak and Sullivan University.
