Daft's text is still the best in the field. I am using it every single year and have updated my thinking about design issues with every single edition since it was introduced into the market. What I like about Daft's text is the logic by which students learn to appreciate the complexity of organization-environment relationships and the enormous value of matching structures and strategies.

International Version 10th Edition
The book quality in terms of the cover, colored ink, and paper type is just as good as the US version. I actually like the International soft cover version better because the US edition is hard covered and much heavier to carry around. The writing content itself is pretty similar but not exactly the same. The case studies and some questions at the end of the chapter are different from the US version so be careful if you are using this book for a class.

Beware of International Version -- it's different.
The book itself is a standard sort of organizational theory book that can be applied to business as well as health care fields. The book is generally very expensive, sold anywhere from $150 to $200. Personally, I do not think it's worth the money. In any case, I am writing the review to warn others of the international version of the book. It is similar, but the ordering is different and it's missing about 3 or 4 case studies. If your professor is known to be really particular in assigning readings and doing case studies, you will likely run into problems. Save yourself the trouble and buy the original book; you can always sell it back for a fraction of the cost in the end.

Daft's Organizational Theory
I needed this book for my grad school class. It is GREAT. I love the formatting and the thorough way the topic is presented. Daft really provides good present day examples and even includes reviews of other authors' books for the topics in each chapter. I love it and highly recommend it. When I originally purchased it, I planned to read it and resell it, but not now. It is staying with me!!

Different than US edition
First of all, don't be fooled by this book being the same as US edition. IT IS NOT. All the chapters are not in order as in the US edition. I had to compare the index of a US edition book with this book to find out if all the chapters from US edition is in this book. The chapters are there in this book but they are named and numbered differently. If you are okay with this than you got a great deal on this book. Good Luck.
