From the Back Cover:

"Coverage of the basics of organizational behavior in the context of today's world." Vernon R. Buck, University of Washington "...the use of Effective Manager segments in each chapter...can be used to both stimulate thought and as real outlines for managing everyday activities. These are the kinds of things that make organizational behavior real as we live our daily lives." Richard K. Litherland, Friends, University Fully updated, revised, and enhanced to reflect current developments in today's organizations, Basic Organizational Behavior, 2/e behavior, explores the modern workplace to meet tomorrow's dynamic changes and challenges. Whether students' careers lead them into business, public service or non-profit industries, government, or education, they will need a solid foundation in the role of OB, as well as practical applications along the way. Basic OB 2/e offers that solid core of the discipline, while its brief essentials-style coverage allows for instructors to enhance and personalize their courses through the use of readings, cases, exercises, role-plays, projects and other unique assignments. Study Questions open up each chapter, leading and directing the student through the text, to the chapter Summary, where those same questions are again addressed. A clear, open design, with just the right figures and illustrations, offers a readable and efficient tool for tomorrow's manager. A supplementary module, Research Methods in Organizational Behavior, new to this edition, allows further study and enables students to make better use of appropriate research foundations in dealing with questions and problems of concern to them.
