The McShane and Von Glinow text is acclaimed for: * Readability, presentation of current knowledge * Linking OB concepts and theories with reality * Strong International/Global orientation * Contemporary Theory Foundation (without the jargon) * Active Learning and Critical Thinking Support * Textbook's philosophy-OB knowledge is for everyone, not just traditional managers. Organizational Behavior, Sixth Edition is written in the context of these emerging workplace realities.
