From the Back Cover:

“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.
