Key Benefit: Lively and informative, this masterfully crafted introduction to the field of organizational behavior (OB) condenses the essential elements of the field into a tightly focused presentation. Its concise format makes it a viable alternative to the core book and flexible enough to combine with cases, readings, and experiential materials. Key Topics: The Fifth Edition continues to gain popularity by including only the most relevant topics in organizational behavior today, such as TQM, reengineering, technology, empowerment, declining employee loyalty, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, virtual and boundaryless organizations, and 360-degree performance appraisals.
This book was created as an alternative to the 600- or 700-page comprehensive textbook in organizational behavior (OB). It attempts to provide balanced coverage of all the key elements comprising the discipline of OB, in a style that readers will find both informative and interesting. I'm pleased to say that this text has achieved a wide following in short courses and executive programs and in traditional courses as a companion volume with experiential, skill development, case, and readings books. It is currently used at more than 400 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. It's also been translated into Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish.
