Based on a number of previous editions of the bestselling text, Organizational Behavior by Schermerhorn/Hunt/Osborn, this first edition addresses the complex issues that knowledge-based work organizations face in the early 21st century. Featuring more examples and cases from Europe and Asia, the authors combine a managerial approach aimed to help existing and aspiring managers meet increasingly challenging performance targets, with a rounded and critical perspective that questions and looks deeper into the research behind the theories.
