Publisher's Synopsis
Building on the strengths of the four previous editions, Management and Organisational Behaviour, 5/e has been significantly updated, while retaining its distinctive managerial approach. The interactions among the structure and operations or organisations, the process of management and the behaviour of people at work are the main concerns of the book, while the need for organisational effectiveness and the importance of the role of management as an integrating activity are underlying themes throughout. All this is generously supported by short and long cases from the Financial Times and other sources, manager profiles, boxed exhibits, and newspaper articles to provide a real-life context. Pedagogical features such as learning objectives, assignments, review discussion questions enhance the learning experience. The text is consistently praised for its comprehensiveness and accessibility for students of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels in business or management. *Additional chapters on organisational learning (chapter 10) and technology. *Greater emphasis on international issues, the impact of IT, ethics, and social responsibilities. *Video accompanying.;*Accompanying student's workbook. *Relates the study of organisational behaviour to that of management. *Illustrates the applications of behavioural science within work organisations and the implications for management action. *Supported by a wealth of Financial Times and other case material from Private, Public, Voluntary, and International organisations. *Full range of supplements available for the lecturer. *Four-colour text.
