It came too late for this semester

An excellent introductory text. Clearly defined and well structured book, which simplifies much of the organisational behaviour. This book provides a concise and readable introduction to the complexities of organisational behaviour. Dealing with all of the key features, it takes each in turn and introduces and develops them in an easy-to-follow and step-by-step approach. It covers the familiar features of organisation behaviour, organisational context, leadership, motivation and culture and diversity, in a fresh and direct point of view, and deals extensively with the great impact of technological and social changes of working life. The pros will obviously be the usage of the much simpler and average vocabulary in the context. Secondly, the examples used in the case studies are easy to understand as well. I will definitely recommend this book to any students studying business, human resource management and any related courses which relates to Organisational Behaviour at any level, in the higher education curriculum. This book provides an excellent read for students studying OB and provides opportunities to stretch and develop those with enquiring minds.

Currently reviewing a wide set of literature for restructuring of a current course.
