| Summary: | This major textbook in organizational behaviour does what most other textbooks in the field do not: it captures and conveys the `lived experience′ of being and working in organizations while also introducing students to key concepts, research and literature in organizational analysis. <p>The book is in two main parts. The first explores the processes of organizing through a series of chapters each based on a different facet of organizational life. Theoretical concepts and practical implications are woven into an engrossing and accessible narrative which draws on a large number of first-hand accounts by members of organizations.</p> <p>The second part of the book, comprising a substantial thesaurus/dictionary, defines and discusses in more detail over 150 of the terms and concepts introduced in the first part. A table connecting the chapters with established categories and concepts in organizational behaviour is also included.</p> |
