Organized around three major parts (the Individual, the Group, and the Organization System), its concise format makes it a viable alternative to the core textbook, described to be combined with cases, readings and/or experiential materials to mould a course to meet your unique objectives. This third edition presents the topics typically identified as the core of OB and discusses the implications of these topics for practicing managers; it includes vital material on values, why people join groups, why norms develop, the effects of cohesiveness on group productivity and performance appraisal; updates content to reflect recent research and applications; adds new material on charismatic leadership and impression management; expands discussion on organization structure and design fron one chapter to two; and rewrites the chapter on organizational change and development and introduces new material on work stress to this chapter.
