ReviewsThis is a very readable text suited for any graduate or undergraduate student. It contains real life examples that make the concepts understandable and explainable., Organizational Behavior: A Critical Thinking Perspective will clear your head of the cobwebs as you engage your brain skills in multiple critical thinking exercises., A unique approach to OB which emphasizes practical, hands on information, based on a solid theoretical foundation., Students enjoy stories and the narrative approach of this text is a refreshing change to often dry OB textbooks., Today's students are best served if we can show them how to bridge theory with practice. Today's students will serve the world if they can demonstrate what they have learned best in college., "I would feel like students had been exposed to some useful and instructive information as a result of reading the Leadership chapter. I would feel that they had been provided with an illustration of critical thinking through the story of Langston, who analyzed his situational circumstances and then made decisions about leading based on leadership theory.", The text is well-written and easy to follow. I like the extended narratives running through the chapters. They provide solid real-life examples of how the theory plays out in practice, which is particularly important for students who have limited experience with or understandings of organizations and work. Stories are memorable and will help remember and associate concepts., A new innovative approach to Organizational Behavior that challenges students to think critically by integrating the workplace into the classroom., I don't usually get excited about changing textbooks, but this book has real potential. OB in the movies is a great way to connect., This textbook is centered on student engagement by including features which enable the student to learn by using critical thinking skills.'|9781506314402|, This text is current and has all the theory and practical applications that we need to teach OB and prepare our students for the world of work. These extended narratives are very useful in linking together the concepts in adjacent chapters to real world situations. The cases and study questions are especially useful to help students learn., I think the text is on the right track. I really value the end of chapter material. You have pioneered some enhancements in that arena that will give the Neck text competitive advantage. It offers a fresh take on some familiar material.
