Organizational Behavior: Emerging Knowledge, Global Reality
Delivering what we’ve come to expect from this author team, McShane/Von Glinow 6e helps everyone make sense of OB, and provides the conceptual tools to work more effectively in the workplace.
In their new Sixth Edition, McShane and Von Glinow continue the trailblazing innovations that made previous editions of Organizational Behavior recognized and adopted by the new generation of organizational behavior (OB) instructors. The McShane and Von Glinow text is acclaimed for:
• Readability, presentation of current knowledge
• Linking OB concepts and theories with reality
• Strong International/Global orientation
• Contemporary Theory Foundation (without the jargon)
• Active Learning and Critical Thinking Support
• Textbook’s philosophy-OB knowledge is for everyone, not just traditional managers.
Organizational Behavior , Sixth Edition is written in the context of these emerging workplace realities. This edition explains how emotions are the foundation of employee motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how social networks generate power and shape communication patterns; how self-concept influences individual behavior, team cohesion, and leadership; and how adopting a global mindset has become an important employee characteristic in this increasingly interconnected world. This book also presents the reality that organizational behavior is not just for managers; it is relevant and valuable to anyone who works in and around organizations.

Fantastic world building with a deep rich lore of organisational behaviours but was devoid of plot and relatable characters to drive the story forward. Content gets 5/5 “Egg shell business cards, with Roman lettering”📈

Read this for my MBA management requirement. Interesting material...most of it I have figured out over the last ten years, although I didn't know the technical names for them. It did fill in several gaps for me related to how I can deal with people-problems in a professional setting.

July 3, 2016I read this text as part of a business degree curriculum at Liberty University. The text gave me insights and trade verbiage of the organization's parts that I had been part of or had experienced. It was a very good read, only minor textual errors.

While some of this is definitely no-brainer information, the content is backed up with real life scenarios and lots of theories. It's presented in a way that actually keeps you engaged without falling asleep. Be still my heart! It was a decent, albeit mandatory, read for me.

I didn't end up reading much of this book as the power point slides the professor had were more helpful for the type of tests that he had given.
