Orgnisational Behaviour (Paperback - 2005)

Organisational functioning has become severely complex in the wake of globalisation and “change” has become a powerful force in every walk of life and field of economy. The word ‘change’ has been chanted as common “mantra” by the citizens of organisation and the smart people recognize the need and urgency for ‘change’; otherwise the ‘change’ changes them which is a discounted fact. With this spirit, the Organisational Behaviour is written and the book describes theories and concepts of organisational environment, which is ever changing. The book emphasizes cross cultural issues, ethics and diversity in the context of globalisation and information technology, which are playing crucial role in the contemporary corporate world. Real life examples are taken to make the concept of organisational behaviour more meaningful. The book will be immensely useful for students of MBA, M.Com. and other related professional courses in behavioural science and management. It would be helpful for everyone in organisations including managers. The spirit behind this exercise is that everyone should understand behavioural knowledge since the ‘teams’ replace organisational ‘hierarchies’ with autonomy at work, which is needless to say. This book helps everyone, no matter where he is, and devotes to encourage probing and diagnostic skills among students. The content of this volume expects the students to relate their knowledge and experiences to the concepts and theories cited. Organisational Behaviour has become inevitable and invariable part of MBA curriculum besides Management Development and Executive Training programmes around the world. As such balanced touch is given to classic topics to draw the reader’s attention. Every chapter opens with real world experiences in large, small, public and private organisations.
