Fundamentals of Organizational Behaviour

by Robert; Kinicki Kreitner, Angelo Kinicki, Nina Cole

This text is now available in a new edition – Please see ISBN 0070918406 Wolves belong in packs - they are social animals. They live, hunt, eat, and play together. But these social elements are learned. When a wolf is still a pup, rough-and-tumble play helps to develop its relationships with fellow pups and to establish its place in the pecking order. These pups will grow up to be members of the same pack, and what is established while they are young continues on to adulthood. Organizational behaviour in people is learned, too - and, like the wolf pups, learning is best done through practice. Fundamentals of Organizational Key Concepts, Skills & Best Practices sets a new standard for fundamental OB texts. Incorporating lean, efficient coverage of core OB concepts with an array of rich learning tools, this text is flexible and engaging. The Second Canadian Edition has been designed to promote active learning, integrating student friendly material with experiential exercises. Unique and engaging features of the text are combined with an integrated tool kit for mastering organizational behaviour and tackling exams. Excelling at organizational behaviour is a hands-on active process. Fundamentals of Organizational Key Concepts, Skills & Best Practices gives students the material, the skills, and the abilities to lead the pack.
