Von der hinteren Coverseite

Buchanan and Huczynski 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. Now in its seventh edition, this highly successful textbook has been substantially updated to include the latest research, most relevant contemporary issues and up-to-date practical examples.

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. You’ll benefit from:

• A wide range of features that enable you to understand the dynamics of human behaviour at work and encourage you to reflect on the theory and context of contemporary organizational life.
• Exercises at the end of each chapter that puts you into a range of different management roles where you make the decisions, combining experience and theory to solve the problem.
• Real-life illustrations and examples based on well-known organizations including Innocent, Facebook, Skylab and the FBI.
• NEW! The latest on technology and group structure (technology and trust in virtual teams), organizational change (the ‘built to change’ organization), leadership, culture and many more topics that are key to understanding organizational behaviour.
• NEW! A brand new chapter on organizational architectures, emphasizing new collaborative relationships between organizations.

Benefit from the online resources that support the text: a Companion Website including self-assessment questions, glossary, online revision flashcards, study guide, audio summaries of key points, and video case studies is available at:
