Fundamentals of Organizational Behaviour is a hands-on and streamlined textbook exploring an area that can at times seem challenging and abstract.

This new textbook examines power, status and political behaviours, organizational change and culture and organizational structure and design. It includes real-world examples throughout and is supported by a range of features including learning outcomes, key concepts and terminology boxes and reflective exercises to aid professional development.
