Reviews / Votes
'This is an excellent introduction to the field of organisational behaviour, not only of the main topic areas but also very novel ones, such as managing healthy workplaces. Definitely a must for those wanting a comprehensive view of the field.' -- Professor Sir Cary Cooper, The University of Manchcester, UK and founding director of Robertson Cooper 'In a crowded field of OB textbooks, the new edition of Organisational Behaviour by Christine Cross and Ronan Carbery stands out for its comprehensive yet accessible coverage of key contemporary topics. Theory is brought to life through "OB in Practice" case studies and links to resources including video clips and other media. There are ample opportunities for students to reflect on their individuals strengths through simulations and exercises. The result is an engaging and interactive resource which will greatly enhance the learning on any OB course.' -- Professor David Collings, Professor of HRM and Associate Dean for Research, Dublin City University Business School, Ireland 'The authors draw upon an extensive review of relevant literature to provide an in-depth understanding of Organisational Behaviour. A range of engaging pedagogical features showcasing current topics in the news, the influence of technology in the workplace, and ethical considerations, will help students understand the complexity of the world of work today. This is a brilliant text.' * Dr Geetha Karunanayake, Lecturer in HRM & Organisational Behaviour, University of Hull, UK * 'Cross and Carbery's Organisational Behaviour provides excellent coverage of all of the important classical and contemporary topics in organisation and management studies. Each chapter is well informed by research and is presented in a clear and engaging style, in which management theories and concepts are clearly linked to practice in real-world organisational settings.' * Dr Frank Worthington, Senior Lecturer in Management, The York Management School, UK * 'This is a brilliant book that looks into the salient issues within organisational behaviour. It is exciting to see how the main issues are unpacked, with room for students to apply their own knowledge. The book also considers contemporary issues and makes outstanding contributions to our understanding of organisational behaviour. I am certain that this book will be an excellent resource for students and lecturers alike.' -- Dr Hakeem Ajonbadi, Lecturer, Birmingham City Business School, UKMore details
