Introducing Organizational Behaviour and Management 4th Edition by David Knights/Hugh Willmott

Overview

Now in its fourth edition, this excellent text continues its trademark approach with contributions from scholars committed to thinking differently. Each chapter is written by topic specialists who explore key issues in an effective, thought-provoking way. Exploring the divisions and associated debates, the title adopts a selective and critical approach to established organizational behaviour topics while thoroughly engaging students in the subject.
