This concise introduction to Organisational Behaviour has been developed specifically for short courses and/or non-specialist business students. It focuses on the core topics of the discipline in a detailed and engaging way, providing a readable introduction to the key theory and offering real-life examples to show its application in practice.

Written for students on undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, this text is particularly suitable for students of non-business disciplines (e.g. engineering, IT, social sciences and others) who are taking an introductory module in business.

Among the valuable features and aids to learning in the book are:

·         Management in the News features provide short illustrations based on recent press articles showing specific issues in a real-world context.

·         Case Studies give a bigger picture of key themes in each chapter through illustrations as diverse as blogging, the London 2012 Olympics and e-government.

·         Critical Reflections encourage the application of personal experience and critical thinking to the issues in question.

·         Key Terms highlighted in the text and defined both at the margin and in a full Glossary.
