Synopsis

While there are numerous books on both organisational behaviour and organisational design, they tend to be heavily theoretical. Although a certain amount of theory is necessary for a full understanding of such a complex area, the emphasis in this new book on the topic is very much on the practicalities of how things are done.
In a lucid and readable style, the authors have succeeded in showing the reader how, in practical terms, organisations are constructed and analysed and how the behaviour of individuals and groups affect the organisation. Drawing on the authors' vast consultancy experience of working directly with organisations in both the public and private sectors, internationally and nationally, they examine each major aspect in detail such as classification of organisations, organisational analysis, mission and strategy, organisational design and structure, jobs and roles, teams and groups, motivation and reward, the management role, and communication.
Extremely user-friendly in style and content the book also includes questionnaires to enable readers to assess their own behaviour and personal styles.
