Organizational Behavior:A Practical, Problem-Solving Approach is intended for use as a concepts book for the Organizational Behavior course at the undergraduate and MBA levels. We wrote this book because of our sincere belief that the application of knowledge about organizational behavior can help people flourish both personally and professionally.
Five features are especially notable:
1. A student-centric approach to learning
2. An explicitly applied and practical approach
3. An emphasis on problem solving
4. Imaginative writing for readability and engagement
5. Resources that work
