Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The fifth edition of this book targets undergraduates and MBA programmes. The authors approach to organizational behaviour is based on their belief that reading a textbook is hard work, but should be interesting (and sometimes fun). Thus, they consistently endeavor to find a way to make complex ideas understandable through explanations, contemporary examples, and learning exercises. Wolves remain as a central theme because they provide an instructive and inspiring metaphor for modern organizational behaviour, being adaptable, dedicated team players and great communicators. These are key sucess attributes in the modern workplace.

This text book does an adequate job of looking at the topic of Organizational Behavior. For someone that has been in business for several years, there is not a lot of new information, good review and some common sense stuff.

This book discusses a topic that is a grab bag of different disciplines and has nice illustrations but i dont know if it is worth close to $100. Anyone who has significant work history intuitively knows a bulk of the material in this book. The book could be condensed to include the hard data and scientific findings and leave out much of the intuitively obvious commentary. This book is no worse than scores of similar textbooks on 'soft'topics but with the way prices are going many students are captive buyers,forced to buy textbooks at the teacher's request for perhaps questions used in the book for grading purposes while the general info can readily be found in college libraries.
Rated by buyers -
The book may be a good choice for a scholar of OB. If you are a graduate student like I am, you may find it difficult to follow and overloaded with scientific terms. To my mind, the simpler the better, which this book is not.
