Synopsis

The study of Organizational Behavior is dedicated to illuminating both the nature of organizations and the roles we play in them. This book is a concise, sophisticated introduction to both sides of this important discipline: micro (motivation, perception, communication, group dynamics, leadership) and macro (organizational structure, culture, environment, and change). It will familiarize students with all the terms and concepts they need to understand OB and its application in modern organizations. Teachers will find it flexible and thorough, an ideal primer for use with cases, readings, experiential exercises, or simulations.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Why Use a Primer on Organizational Behavior, 4th ed? Your Colleagues Say It Best! The most appealing advantage of this text for my students is the authors clear writing style. Moreover, the organization and comprehensiveness of coverage is impressive. Up–to–date topics, concise treatment, and consistent ethical emphasis foster a good integration and understanding of management and OB. Howard E. Mitchell, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania I would like to commend the authors for the treatment given the research process in OB. Overall, I would describe the approach taken by Bowditch and Buono as both refreshing and superior to the competition. Anthony Chelte, Western New England College My students really enjoy the "no nonsense" approach taken by Bowditch and Buono. The authors cover a lot of ground and support their positions with an impressive amount of evidence drawn from the scientific and management literature. Mark C. Butler, San Diego State University I adopt this book because of its research explanations and its quick but effective coverage of the field. It fills an important missing niche in our OB textbooks.
