MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in organizational behaviour, this classic textbook has provided many generations of students with an exceptional introduction to organization, written by the masters of the subject. Now adapted to meet the needs of students in Europe, it offers real life examples drawn from a global range of organisations, and up-to-date insights into the latest research from across the world and hot topics. The US edition of this book is one of the world's leading organizational behaviour texts because its content and organization consistently reflect the most recent developments in theory and in practice. This brand-new adaptation of Organizational Behaviour has been inspired by the original edition and explores organizational behaviour from a wider, European-centred perspective. Case studies and exercises have been re-written for European students and content draws on research and examples from across the world. Covering exciting new topics and offering the latest research, this text continues to be a leader in the field of organizational behaviour. New case studies and examples based on companies from across Europe and the rest of the world such as Ferrari, Dresdner Kleinwort, the Hilti Group, Google and more help to bring the subject alive."
