Organizational Behavior: Managing People and Organizations
Tags: fundamentals of human behavior, insights, management ideas, managing people, new century, ninth edition, organizational behavior
The book is fairly comprehensive in terms of its scope. We are currently using the book at our Organizational Behavior class, and it’s proved to be an excellent reference. The way it is structured (for the reader) makes in-depth reading or skimming through it (let’s face it: this is the reality for most working MBA students!) equally effective. It has clearly distinguishable definitions on the margins, which can serve as a cue for the topic, along with the summaries at the end of every chapter. The intro and closing “cases” provided around the topic of the chapter are VERY insightful and on every other page or so, there are examples about the matter being discussed, which help with the understanding (I know that I, as an Engineer, appreciate examples to illustrate a point). Finally, the illustrations (graphs and charts) are one of the best things the book has! Remember that phrase that used to say “a picture is worth a thousand words”? Well, the authors epithomize it. The charts in the book do a great job at conveying entire pages of information at a time in a very efficient way. All in all, I like the book a lot, and it’s been very helpful in complementing our in-class discussions about cases and topics of Organizational Behavior.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book presents the most recent research on many aspects of organizational behavior very clearly. Although it is targeted at students learning the material for the first time, people who have had more exposure to the subject could also benefit from reading sections of it.

This is a text book for school and I haven’t actually read it yet. From what I have seen this book was in “brand new” condition and was an excellent value.
Rating: 4 / 5
I needed this book for class. It was more than half the price the school was charging. Needless to say I was thoroughly pleased!

I purchased this book used for about 20% of what I would have paid for it new. What an awesome bargain thanks to Amazon.com!
