Summary

"This volume is dedicated to creating a single source that both summarizes what we know regarding errors in organizations and provide a focused effort toward identifying future directions for research. The goal is to provide a forum for researchers who have conducted a considerable amount of research in the error domain to discuss how to extend this research, and provide researchers who have not considered the implications of errors for their domain of organizational research an outlet to do so"--
