This workbook provides a planned and flexible scheme of work which is to be used in conjunction with Management and Organisational Behaviour. It presents a fun learning programme which includes additional questions, cases, quizzes, activities and subjects for debate which go together to bring the subject to life and show the real-world relevance of organisational behaviour. Each chapter also contains a Subject for Debate - a contentious statement which asks students to question and to challenge and is designed to encourage them to formulate their own ideas.
