Description
Organisational Behaviour, Core Concepts and Applications, 2nd Australasian edition is the ideal text for a one-semester Organisational Behaviour course. Fourteen concise, relevant and tightly focused chapters are designed to engage rather than overwhelm students, and the highly visual presentation further enhances the text's appeal.
Numerous real world examples throughout the text examine how organisations in the Australian, New Zealand and Asian region are responding to the challenging economic environment brought upon by the global financial crisis. Coupled with the latest research in the field, this text is an essential analysis of contemporary organisational behaviour.
