Synopsis

Organizations targets the upper-level undergraduate/MBA- level course. A consistent theme throughout the book is that effective management of organizational behavior requires an understanding of theory, research, and practice. Students need to comprehend the three characteristics common to all organizations--behavior, structure and processes--as affected by actions of managers. The text illustrates how Organizational Behavior theory leads to research and how both theory and research, provide the basic foundation for practical applications in business, firms, hospitals, educational institutions, government agencies, and other organizations. The text is organized and presented in a sequence based on behavior, structure, and process. Each part has been presented as a self-contained unit and can therefore be presented in whatever sequence the instructor prefers. The text is easily adaptable to these individual preferences.
