This 11th ed. of Organizational Behavior proves once again why it is the number-one selling book on the subject around the world. The text consistently integrates the most current, cutting edge topics and educational best practices from management practice and research. It gives special emphasis on students taking research-based self-assessments, and thence connecting the results of those self-assessments to skill building modules in the text. In a conversational style, the book presents OB at three levels of analysis-the individual behavior, the group behavior, leading to the complexity of the organizational behavior. It is packed with real-world examples drawn from a variety of organizations in the international arena thus helping students gain a far better mileage than from other books, in the understanding of basic concepts.
