An Introduction to Organisational Behaviour for Managers and Engineers: A Group and Multicultural Approach

If you understand organisations then you are more powerful, as you are able to further your own interests and those of your organisation. It therefore makes sense that all engineers as part of their undergraduate degrees, or their subsequent professional development, study organisational behaviour as part of their management training.

This book supports courses that aim to meet the UK Engineering Council’s requirements for management and business training, with coverage of team and group working, and further discussion of international cultural difference, which are major features of engineering degrees and workplaces today. Chapters also cover key issues for maintaining a healthy working environment, such as motivating employees, managing stress and dealing with organisational politics. This new edition brings in more material on organizational change, diversity in groups and teams, and now provides valuable case studies of workplace scenarios for individual or class study.

This concise textbook not only provides a practical introduction to organizational behaviour for management students, but is also specifically geared towards the needs of engineers and students of engineering.
