This work serves as an introduction to the behaviour of individuals and groups within organizations. It systematically integrates the key areas of both organizational behaviour and analysis into a consistent whole. Examining how behaviour can be defined, measured and controlled to achieve organizational goals, the authors use models and theories taken from psychology, sociology and the management fields to provide students with a more realistic impression of the complexities of organizational life.
