Synopsis
This book introduces readers to organizational behavior (OB) terms and concepts. It surveys micro (motivation, perception, communication, group dynamics, leadership) and macro (organizational structure, culture, environment) topics in OB. It addresses such issues as diversity in the workplace, the quality movement, the rise in discontent and cynicism regarding work, coping with organizational retrenchment and downsizing and managing large–scale organizational change. It also discusses stakeholder management, interorganizational alliances and the international environment.

From the Back Cover
Why Use a Primer on Organizational Behavior, 4th ed? Your Colleagues Say It Best! The most appealing advantage of this text for my students is the authors clear writing style. Moreover, the organization and comprehensiveness of coverage is impressive. Up–to–date topics, concise treatment, and consistent ethical emphasis foster a good integration and understanding of management and OB. Howard E. Mitchell, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania I would like to commend the authors for the treatment given the research process in OB. Overall, I would describe the approach taken by Bowditch and Buono as both refreshing and superior to the competition. Anthony Chelte, Western New England College My students really enjoy the "no nonsense" approach taken by Bowditch and Buono. The authors cover a lot of ground and support their positions with an impressive amount of evidence drawn from the scientific and management literature. Mark C. Butler, San Diego State University I adopt this book because of its research explanations and its quick but effective coverage of the field. It fills an important missing niche in our OB textbooks. William P. Ferris, Western New England College

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: None. 4th Edition. Basically this book has three objectives, first, to introduce the reader to those terms and concepts that are necessary for a fuller understanding of organizational behavior; second, to give the student a general survey of a "typical" OB course; and third, to provide sufficient grounding in the field to enable students to read the OB literature in trade journals and scholarly publications. 402 pages. 12 chapters, 2 appendixes, references, and indexes. Clean & tight. No underlining, nor highlighting. No bookplates or owner names, not ex-libras. Book appears unread. A very nice copy. Seller Inventory # 001565
