ABSTRACT

An Introduction to Organisational Behaviour for Managers and Engineers: A Group and Multicultural Approach gives a comprehensive overview of how organisations work, with a special focus on group and team working, and issues of diversity and intercultural management.

This second edition has been updated throughout, drawing on the latest literature, along with:

  • a new chapter on organisational change, a process which all managers and engineers will encounter on the job;
  • case studies and illustrations showing theories in action;
  • more cross-referencing between chapters, showing how topics are interlinked.

This concise textbook not only provides a practical introduction to organisational behaviour for management students, but is also specifically geared towards the needs of engineering students and professionals.
