Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This publication is designed to suit undergraduate and MBA students on business and management studies programmes studying organisational behaviour, management, strategic analysis or human resource management. To be used as a core textbook in this area or as a secondary reading resource. It aims to be groundbreaking in its coverage of traditionally separate areas of organisational behaviour, management, strategy and human resource management. It focuses on the experiences and activities of people practically involved in work organisations, whilst using and contributing to the latest academic thinking on work and management behaviour and adopting a stance of critical reflection and ethical awareness.
