Abstract
This article was written as a result of a study of alternative Work Pattern (AWP) applications in the United States. The study was designed to ascertain how Flexitime or other AWP's impact worker productivity, morale, absenteeism, turnover, or other such measures of woker's performance or attitude. The results of the study were inconclusive insofar as the main research question was concerned. 214 organisations throughout the United States were surveyed with a view toward the evaluation of their previously reported AWP applications. A one page survey schedule was mailed to the 214 organisations and there were 78 responses, thus yielding a response rate of 36 percent. Table 1 shows the response rate.

Abstract
In the last four years, since Volume I of this Bibliography first appeared, there has been an explosion of literature in all the main functional areas of business. This wealth of material poses problems for the researcher in management studies — and, of course, for the librarian: uncovering what has been written in any one area is not an easy task. This volume aims to help the librarian and the researcher overcome some of the immediate problems of identification of material. It is an annotated bibliography of management, drawing on the wide variety of literature produced by MCB University Press. Over the last four years, MCB University Press has produced an extensive range of books and serial publications covering most of the established and many of the developing areas of management. This volume, in conjunction with Volume I, provides a guide to all the material published so far.
