Organizational Behavior For a Better Tomorrow, 2nd Edition

Organizational Behavior: For a Better Tomorrow, 2nd Edition is a unique, blended approach to the subject, combining traditional core competencies with contemporary research and innovative practices. The textbook’s distinctive dual presentation integrates “conventional” and “sustainable” organizational behavior (OB) to help students understand how creativity, collaboration, and ethical decision-making can positively impact people, organizations, and entire communities. 

This fully-updated second edition provides a balanced, real-world approach that strengthens critical thinking skills, enables students to explore the rationale for sustainable OB practices, and illustrates and how values and ethics influence business decisions in the real world. Rather than focusing only on the short-term, bottom-line approach of traditional OB, the text discusses a comprehensive range of topics, from current trends in popular media and scholarly literature, to addressing the current and long-term needs and goals of organizational stakeholders.

Dr. Mitchell Neubert
Dr. Neubert's interest in organizations was initially stirred by observing the ups and downs of a parent in a small family business. He completed his bachelor of science in business degree at the University of Minnesota, and, after his own experiences with a regional bank, a global manufacturing company, and a nonprofit organization, earned his Ph.D. in Business Administration at the University of Iowa, with emphases on human resources management and organizational behavior.

Dr. Bruno Dyck
Growing up the son of an immigrant entrepreneur, Dr. Dyck has always been interested in how organizations are managed and how they can help to make the world a better place. He studied management as an undergraduate student in Manitoba and Virginia, and earned a Ph.D. in business from the University of Alberta in 1991. As an organizational theorist, Dr. Dyck has focused his research on social and ecological thought, organizational learning and change, sustainable development and on how people’s beliefs and values influence what they do.
