Synopsis

Perfect for students needing a concise but broad introduction to organisational behaviour. It critically examines the three themes of: change, communication and conflict. Encouraging and promoting the critical examination of the theory and practice, this book enables students to interpret and deal with organisational problems. One of the great strengths of this text, in my view, is that in every single chapter I found something new or different Another strong point of this book, which ran through every chapter, was the author's ability to make sense of theories in relation to current practice.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

 

 

“In a relatively short text, the authors cover a wide range of issues, relate them to students’ popular imagination and experience, and anchor them firmly in a contemporary business context, all of which is extremely valuable.”

Samantha Warren, University of Portsmouth

 

“One of the great strengths of this text is that in every chapter I found something new or different. There are also strengths in the structure, design and content of the book which continue to make it a popular choice with me and my students”

Linda Horner, Coventry University

 

 

This third edition of Organisational Behaviour provides a concise, selective and rigorous introduction to the subject. With up-to-date reference to contemporary themes and work in the field, the book examines behaviour within the context of the individual, groups and teams, and finally the organisation itself. Regular questions encourage critical reflection on the most important schools of thought, and a wealth of case studies and illustrations in film apply these theories to recognisable practice.
