Synopsis

Core text for BA/BSc in Business Studies. Also suitable for HND Business and Finance or Business Studies, Diploma in Management Studies, MBA, core management syllabus of Institute of Personnel and Development professional examinations. Together with an internet-based Instructor’s Manual and Student Website, this is a complete and comprehensive teaching package for Organisational Behaviour (OB) and Organisational Analysis (OA). The text seeks to integrate the teaching of OB and OA, which are normally for convenience taught separately. It also stresses the interrelatedness of the various topics into which these subjects are normally divided. It deliberately avoids the managerialist approach characteristic of leading American texts but rejected by many UK teachers, in order to equip students to better understand human behaviour in organisations without telling them how to manipulate or bring others under their control.
