Organisational Behaviour - A Contemporary South African Perspective (Paperback, 3rd edition)

Organisations are essentially social entities. Successful organisations do not develop by chance, but are rather the result of carefully planned interventions into their structure, leadership and management orientations, culture, processes and behaviours. Organisational behaviour: a contemporary South African perspective provides a solid and scientific foundation for understanding, predicting, evaluating and managing individual and group behaviour in organisations. Organisational behaviour: a contemporary South African perspective explores the expectations that organisations and employees have of each other. It addresses contemporary issues related to business ethics, social networking, performance excellence, changing communication technology, transformational leadership, diversity and globalisation. It contains encounters, discussion questions, practical exercises and case studies to stimulate self-study, debate and reflective thinking. An updated instructor's manual for lecturers and teachers is also available. Organisational behaviour is aimed at everyone who works or is going to work in an organisation, as well as aspiring and established managers and business owners, irrespective of their field.
