Introducing Organizational Behaviour and Management is written by specialists for students who want to think differently about their understanding of organizational behaviour.
This textbook contrasts perspectives on organizational behaviour, discussing the alternative critical or controversial thinking and debate.
Key concepts that underpin this diverse subject are identified and explored in a range of international and everyday examples.
This book employs the principles of adopting a selective rather than exhaustive approach to introductory organizational behaviour topics. It applies a conceptual framework to the subject matter, and seeks to engage the reader throughout.
