Organizational Behaviour, Seventh Canadian edition, is truly a Canadian product. While it draws upon the strongest aspects of its American cousin, it expresses its own vision and voice. It provides the context for understanding organizational behaviour (OB) in the Canadian workplace and highlights the many Canadian contributions to the field. Subject matter reflects the broad multicultural flavour of Canada and also highlights the roles of women and visible minorities in the workplace. Examples reflect the broad range of organizations in Canada: large, small, public and private sector, unionized and non-unionized.
