From the Back Cover
ESSENTIAL OB from the virtual world to the real world!
Revised with the latest developments in information technology and new discussions of virtual teams and organizations, this Fifth Edition of A Primer on Organizational Behavior distills all the essentials of modern OB into one concise, easy-to-understand volume.

FEATURES
- Examines current information technologies and how they are reshaping business organizations.
