Organizational Behavior
This is a book of great interest particularly for students of management and economics, approaching the current topics of organizational behavior with the detail required for this target audience. It has the great advantage of being very schematic and give many examples of companies that help to articulate the theoretical component with organizational reality.
Congratulations to the authors and to Sage!

An easy to read and good 'dip into' book covering a broad range of topics. Provides a good starting point for the students.
There is a lot covered in this book and it is laid out and presented in a way which I think students would appreciate, however, it is rather broad brush. It would be fine as a basic starting point but probably does not provide enough depth for my students to justify purchasing it.
We very much appreciate the fresh approach to organizational behavior, including innovation, stressing the importance of teams, new ways of working. The book is accessible for our first year students. The practice exercises are very useful, and we intend to use them in workgroups.
This book is able to give a complete notion of what organizational behavior is as well as all of its ramifications and areas of application. It has a very flexible and simple approach, being enhanced by previously prepared exercises for students that are very well constructed.
Finally, I enjoyed the fact that part of its organization is through a list of key terms, which is quite useful to navigate in the book.
This text is the most logical in progression and most student focused text in the market.
Bravo!
Excellent and comprehensive, this book will be our main resource and recommendation towards our students. Clear structure, great illustrations and written in a very understandable way.
This text has allowed students to learn and develop their own knowledge and understanding in relation to organisational behaviour and apply it to practice. It is clear and concise and provides insight into areas, for example, the decision-making process, which is invaluable to industry practices.
book provides good overview of organizational behaviour
It is detailled, goes into the depth, but is also very practical with case studies, surveys etc
A student friendly textbook which provides excellent examples to allow contextualisation of the theory. This is a great approach as it helps students 'put the theory into practice' - with employability so high on the HE agenda this is invaluable.
