The aim is to situate OB within the theoretical developments of recent times, the sources of which, like semiotics or poststructuralism, often lie outside the traditional informing disciplines of OB. Starting with the most basic concepts, but developing toward higher level concepts, the implications for thinking about organisational behaviour are all the time drawn out in clear and accessible language. The text is therefore ideal for those taking an advanced course in OB, whether at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

From the Back Cover
An organisational behaviour textbook which reflects contemporary conditions and social thinking.
Since the introduction of organisational behaviour as a field of study, there has been an enormous shift in working patterns and conditions. The organisational world in which conventional organisational behaviour was established at the beginning of the twentieth century - high employment, first world economic domination - is very different to contemporary organisational settings characterised by recession, globalisation and a different moral climate. Rethinking Organisational Behaviour offers an interpretation of organisational behaviour that reflects contemporary conditions and contemporary social thinking.
The aim of the text is to situate organisational behaviour within the theoretical developments of recent times, the sources of which, like semiotics or poststructuralism, often lie outside the traditional informing disciplines of organisational behaviour. Starting with the most basic concepts, but developing towards higher level concepts, the implications for thinking about organisational behaviour are, at all times, drawn out in clear and accessible language. The text is therefore ideal for those taking an advanced course in organisational behaviour, whether at the undergraduate or postgraduate level.
