This new edition has been fully revised and updated with new data, and references to reflect developments in organizational behaviour and new demonstrations of the application of organizational behaviour in real life organizations across Europe.
Blending scholarship and imaginative writing, ASU business professor Kinicki (of Kreitner/Kinicki Organizational Behavior 7e) and writer Williams (of Williams/Sawyer Using Information Technology 7e) have created a highly readable introductory management text with a truly unique student-centered layout certain to be well received by today's visually oriented students. The authors present all basic management concepts and principles in "bite-size" chunks, 2- to 6-page sections to optimize student learning. The text emphasizes practicality of information presented and supports both the instructor and the students with a wealth of classroom-tested resources.
In addition to facilitating active learning, "Organizational Key Concepts, Skills & Best Practices" meets the needs of those instructors looking for a brief, paperback text for their OB course, who do not want to sacrifice content or pedagogy. This book provides lean and efficient coverage of topics such as diversity in organizations, ethics, and globalization, which are recommended by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Timely chapter-opening vignettes, interactive exercises integrated into each chapter, four-color presentation, lively writing style, captioned color photos, cartoons, and real-world in-text examples make "Organizational Key Concepts, Skills & Best Practices" the right choice for today's business/management student. The topical flow of this 16-chapter text goes from micro (individuals) to macro (groups, teams, and organizations). Mixing and matching chapters and topics within chapters in various combinations is possible and encouraged to create optimum teaching/learning experiences.
