The twenty-first century will bring new challenges to managers and organizations. The sixth edition "Organizational Behavior: A Diagnostic Approach" helps to prepare them to face these challenges.

The text incorporates extensive examples of current real-world organizational situations in which managers and employees struggle with the dilemmas created by a dynamic, unpredictable, increasingly complex world.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

In this new edition, Judith R. Gordon continues to show students how to use theory and research in organizational behavior to improve practice. By using a diagnostic approach, the text encourages students to describe situations completely, diagnose the organizational behavior found in a situation, prescribe the best practices or most appropriate behavior for a given organizational situation, and then act effectively in those situations.

With the most up-to-date examples and information, Organizational Behavior: A Diagnostic Approach 7/e offers students the skills to be more effective as both managers and employees.
