The Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior: What Managers Need to Know

Henry Tosi and Neal Mero have developed this concise and lively primer that maintains the critical theory, research and application elements of their highly successful text Managing Organizational Behavior (Blackwell Publishing, Fourth Edition, 2000). They present the information in a condensed format geared for professors with MBA and other advanced students who want to explore the application of modern management practices in a complex environment. It is a highly flexible resource and can be used: To ensure that all students on an advanced course have the same level of theoretical understanding. To give experienced students material on fast-changing areas such as technology and e-business. As a complement to courses where original readings are used or a skills-based approach is taken. As the basis for a course which is team taught or presented in modular form. As a basis for executive education training or distance learning.Each chapter includes ‘Guides for Managers’ which show how managers can apply the theories in question. Supplemental materials are available online to allow the instructor to draw upon exercises and cases to further enhance the learning experience for students.
