Huczynski and Buchanan bring their well-known and successful brand of critical thinking, social science underpinning, and visual appraisal to bear in this comprehensive introduction to organizational behaviour. A wide range of features enable the reader to understand the dynamics of human behaviour at work, and encourage regular reflection on the theory and context of contemporary organizational life. Organizational Behaviour involves the reader directly, placing you in the position of decision-making and problem-solving manager, inviting you to see the reality behind an organizational image, and encouraging you to make comparisons with well-known scenes in film and literature. Organizational Behaviour: An Introductory Text comes with a MyLab Access Card.
