Synopsis

With an emphasis on international business and the global economy, there is a search on for a new breed of manager ? the global manager. Such a manager knows how to conduct business across international borders, is often multilingual, thinks with a world view and is able to map strategy accordingly. The third edition of this award winning text situates management and organisational practices within the context of a global approach to management learning. People work in a wide variety of settings and under widely varying conditions. In all cases, organisations depend on managers to help ensure that the work experiences of others are both productive and satisfying. Managers must do the right things in the right ways, and they must do so even as great changes are taking place in the environment. The study of organisational behaviour essentially requires careful examination of what managers are accomplishing and why in order to develop the best and most culturally appropriate management and organisational practices. Organisational Behaviour: A Global Perspective 3rd edition contains the solid and complete content core of the second edition, along with many revisions, updates and enhancements that reflect our dynamic times. The book covers the discipline in an orderly progression, but allows for parts and/or chapters to be used out of sequence at the instructor?s prerogative.
