The book combines text, self-learning exercises, group participation exercises, and cases in an integrated way designed to enhance learning and retention of organizational behavior concepts and skills. A solid research base and an appendix on research techniques make this book suitable for a graduate studies course.

Organization Development and Change (with InfoTrac College Edition Printed Access Card) 9th Edition, Thomas G. Cummings



Market-leading ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE, 9th Edition blends theory, concepts and applications in a comprehensive and clear presentation. The authors work from a strong theoretical foothold and apply behavioral science knowledge to the development of organizational structures, strategies, and processes.

Cummings OD book is perfectly designed to approach and delve into the field of OD smoothly and profoundly. Its first three chapters provide an excellent introduction to OD and how it is differentiated from overlapping organizational dynamics, primarily change management and organizational change. I respected this text's strategic analysis of the OD interventions and the pragmatic models of their implementation. Although developing business organizations sounds theoritical in its conceptual or abstract sense, this text gives you reasonable and sensible tools that help convert the OD theory to a tangible reality.

Having read hundreds of books on organisational development I have to say this is the best. It is true to say that this book has never been far from my side over the last nine years. It covers the wide range of activities required to transform organisations, providing intervention theory, diagnosis, learning and development structure design etc. This single work has informed 70% of my thinking towards change management. I cannot rate this book highly enough, its the most important book in my collection and has informed most of the change management work I have conducted. It does take quite a bit of study and even more practice. I want to thank Cummings and Worley for producing this book, it has changed the course of my career.

Organizational Behavior 6th Edition, Steven McShane



Organizational Behavior provides the essential OB knowledge to students in an accessible, student focused presentation. This text builds on the strengths of the main textbook, including a strong literature foundation, excellent readability, meaningful exhibits, global representation of examples, and presentation of both core and emerging topics. McShane/Von Glinow allows students to practice applying concepts via Connect.

Organizational Behavior, Sixth Edition is written in the context of these emerging workplace realities. This edition explains how emotions are the foundation of employee motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how social networks generate power and shape communication patterns; how self-concept influences individual behavior, team cohesion, and leadership; and how adopting a global mindset has become an important employee characteristic in this increasingly interconnected world. This book also presents the reality that organizational behavior is not just for managers; it is relevant and valuable to anyone who works in and around organizations.

I received the book on a Saturday and I ordered it that Friday so I was really, really surprised when UPS pulled up with the book. It came in great condition and the return processed was really easy. I'm getting ready to rent another book online now for my daughter for this semester.
