Organisational Behaviour by Christine Cross
This refreshing textbook shows how research into human behaviour can be applied in the workplace. It is focussed on helping students to develop the key skills they will need as future managers and employees. It assumes no prior work experience, and instead asks students to draw on their everyday experiences. They are invited to complete a range of innovative activities designed to deepen their understanding of key topics, such as personality, perception, and motivation. The book is an ideal length for one-semester taught courses. It is aimed primarily at first and second year undergraduate students on business and management degrees, who are taking OB modules for the first time, though could also be used on postgraduate and MBA courses.
An excellent textbook which interprets ideas and concepts in a way that students will easily comprehendIt develops critical thinking both through fascinating scenarios which students are invited to solve and through interactive questions. The case studies at the end of each chapter provide a linchpin by bringing in real-life perspectives that students are able to relate to. * Never Muskwe, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK *
A concise, clear and application-orientated treatment of the clear elements of OB. For students, it will be an invaluable resource. For lecturers, it provides a solid foundation that is flexible enough to be used rewardingly in different local contexts. * François Bester, Alfaisal University, Saudi Arabia *
Organisational Behaviour provides fresh perspectives on managing behaviour in the twenty-first century. This text will be invaluable for multiple audiences: students undertaking management studies with little foundational knowledge; people in the workforce who want to understand the theoretical and practical aspects of behaviour; and anyone seeking a global appreciation of organisational behaviour. The core themes are well written and are structured to provoke debate through a range of academic material, including case studies, skill-building exercises, and electronic resources. * Margaret E. Heffernan, O.A.M, RMIT University, Australia *
