Evaluation in Organizations: A Systematic Approach to Enhancing Learning, Performance, and Change

Abstract

The application of evaluation in organizations is a topic that various theorists, researchers, and practitioners have explored over the past several decades. Russ-Eft and Preskill took on the challenge of writing a book that attempts to convey the importance of evaluation within organizations and describe how evaluation can be used to inform decision-making for improving organizational performance. In their book, Evaluation in Organizations: A Systematic Approach to Enhancing Learning, Performance, and Change, Russ-Eft and Preskill do a wonderfully articulate job of reviewing the evolution of evaluation and describing their view of the future of evaluation within organizations.
