Book Description
Organizational Behavior provides the essential knowledge base and skill set so that future managers can harness the power of employees and teams to successfully navigate the changing world of work. Organizational behavior is the study of individual behavior and group dynamics in organizational settings. It focuses on timeless topics like motivation, leadership, teamwork, and communication. The text presents the opportunity to know concepts, ideas, and theories, and to practice skills, abilities, and behaviors to enhance the management of human behavior at work. To make the book more relevant to the learner, we have enhanced and further integrated the subtitle Foundations, Realities, Challenges into the theme in the 5th edition. The reader will see the tie to the subtitle with new feature titles: Foundations (new title: Science), Realities (new title: The Real World), and Challenges (new title: You) that have a more contemporary and personal feel. This theme will be integrated throughout the text and supplements making a true integrated learning package. In this new edition, six new focus companies have been selected. The authors use the focus companies so that learners can see how one company responds to different organizational situations. The focus companies are a variety of company types, for example, Whole Foods, Pixar, and Canine Companions. The authors also make sure to integrate four organizational behavior key themes into each chapter. These supporting themes are globalization, diversity, technology, and ethics. Sub-themes are designed to arm future managers with the tools they need to meet organizational challenges.

Good Stuff.......2005-10-01
I am using this textbook for an MBA course. I had already started the class when I ordered the book, but I received my book in enough time where I was not left behind. I appreciate the prompt service. Thanks:-)

Customer Reviews:
Decent for learning.......2001-04-02
This book is very good. It is best suited for a student who is willing to put a good amount of time into his/her studying. The reason I say this is because it is very detailed, the diffenitions are very thorough and at times confusing, and there is a wide range of topics covered. It probably would not be good for a first year student unless they really want to learn the material which is a little dry at times. I thought that the opening cases in each chapter was a good way to tie the material to real life situations. Overall, this is a great tool for learning.
Organizational Behavior.......2001-04-02
We used this book as our textbook for Organizational Behavior this semester, and I found it to be extremely helpful. The writing is clear and concise, and the chapters are divided into four parts that make the distinction between individual and group study clear. There are plenty of graphs, tables, and diagrams, which illustrate the theories and statistics clearly. Most helpful, however, were the vocabulary definitions and the chapter summaries, which alleviated some of the pre-test stress.
Org. Beh. review from Kate Sirko in Harlaxton, ENGLAND.......2001-03-31
The book, Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Realities, and Challenges by Debra Nelson and James Quick is a good source for anyone interested in learning about the behavior in organizations. It involves everything from the general concepts of organizational behavior to the detailed structure and processes within an organization. The graphs and charts help the visual learners, such as myself to better understand important concepts and theories. After each chapter, the authors displays summaries for the learner to review important key terms and concepts before reading on to the next chapter. Unfortunately, the defintions of the majority of the terms throughout the book can be described in a simple, easy to understand way, but the authors fail to do so. On the other hand, various case studies fill the book for students to get involved in class discussions and debates. Overall, this book is a good source for professors and teachers to utilize in their classrooms.
Evan's Insight.......2001-03-31
This book provides a very clear, simple difinition of Organizational Behavior. The subheadings and bold words make it easy to understand what is necessary for comprehension. Also the current issues and up to date examples make it easy for the reader to engage in the material at hand. However, the books multiple use of models can be somewhat confusing. I also feel that the author uses over-detailed deffinitions of words that could be much easier defined. The chapters are somewhat lengthy and need to be more concise. The review sessions at the end of each chapter were very helpful and porvided good key's to what was neccessary for retention. If anyone doesn't know what Organizational Behavior is they should definaltely check out this book!
Evan's Insight.......2001-03-30
This book provides a very simple and clear layout of Organizational Behavior. The headings and bold words make it easy to understand what is important and necessary for comprehension. The current issues and real life examples also make this book user friendly. However, the multiple use of models in this book can be somewhat confusing. The chapters are somewhat lengthy packing a lot of informatin in. I also feel that this book gives over-detailed definitions of words that can be much simpler defined. Overall this book does a good job of engaging the reader in the material at hand. The review sessions at the end of each chapter were very helpful and a definate bonus to help the reader learn necessary information. If anyone is unclear of what organizational behavoir is then they sould deffinately check out this book.

A little too abstract.......2001-04-02
I thought that this book had some very good characteristics about it. It spelled out things very clear. It used diagrams and models very well. It also was fairly easy to follow. However, I think that this book tried to define too many definitions and general things that are too hard to define. It spent a lot of space on definitions of vauge things and was a little wordy at time. While it was not the best book I have ever read, it was not that bad.
Organizational Behavior (3rd Edition).......2001-03-31
This is a great textbook for anyone wishing to learn more about how people interact with their organization. It would be especially helpful in a classroom environment with an accompanying lecture.
There are three main aspects that I particularly liked about this book. First, it was easy to read in that it was well organized. The author arranged the chapters with headings and subheadings in order to keep relevant information together. Second, the reader had a clear view of what was expected to be learned from each chapter. This is because the objectives were clearly and concisely stated at the beginning of each chapter and there was a summary included at the end as well. Third, the author used a great deal of figures and graphs to reiterate the concepts. This is especially helpful for visual learners, like myself. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more organizational behavior.
Org. Beh. review for Mgmt 377 at Harlaxton, ENGLAND.......2001-03-30
The book Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Realities, and Challenges by Debra Nelson is a good book to start from when students want to learn more about the insides of an organization or business. The book involves everything from the general, basic concepts to the in depth details of the organization's structures and processes. Throughout each chapter (18) the author incorporates real businesses and real life examples that are beneficial for the reader to learn and understand. The author also includes numerous diagrams which help those who may be visual learners, such as myself. A chapter summary after each chapter clarifies important key concepts and terms before heading on to the new material. Unfortunately, the author's definitions could be stated in a simpler, easier to understand way, but the author fails to do so. On the otherhand, the various case studies throughout the book lets one critically analyze and discuss with other students the answers to the questions at the end of each case study. Overall, this book is a good source for teachers and professors to utilize in their classrooms and enhance in classroom discussions.
Organizational Behavior.......2001-03-29
As a college student, I would recommend this textbook as a great guideline in regards to organizational behavior. The textbook, although a little lengthy, is easy to read and allows the reader to relate to the real life concepts. The book draws the reader in by providing self-surveys, graphs, and examples of successful popular companies.
The authors did a wonderful job of portraying the important points by highlighting key words and displaying bold definitions on the same page as the reading. I feel that the book could be improved by limiting the amount of reading, such as removing extra conversation and getting straight to the point rather than provide entertainment.
Organizational Behavior.......2001-03-26
This is a good text book for any organizational behavior class. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the various issues and problems that organizations deal with today. It is outlined well in that it first explains individual processes and behaviors, and then moves to interpersonal processes, and finally combines what you have read when it discusses organizational processes and structure. Throughout the text the Organizational Realities are helpful because they give personal accounts of the issues you have just read about. The six focus organizations discussed also bring a sense of reality to what you are learning. The reader is also provided with numerous tables and figures to help make what is written more clear. This was quite helpful most of the time, although I sometimes felt overwhelmed with all of the tables.
The challenges throughout the book give each reader the opportunity to learn more about himself/herself. I found this particularly helpful to understanding diffent things about myself, including what type of leader I am, and how I best deal with conflict, and what I am motivated by. I think it is important for a text book to not only teach about a particular subject, but also help the reader learn something about himself/herself. This book allowed me to do that. Because of this, I will be a more effective part of an organizational group or team when I am in the workforce someday.

Book Description
A comprehensive, straightforward presentation, the substantially revised Third Edition places the evolving agri-food system in a global perspective. The authors present topics in a logical sequence built around the four functions of management--planning, organizing, controlling, and directing. Everything a manager does is related to efficiently, effectively maximizing long-term profits by profitably satisfying customers' needs. This unifying theme makes it easier for readers to build, relate, and integrate all the material presented. The authors' practical experience and their many years as educators combine to maximize learning. They employ the best teaching and learning practices in a readable, jargon-free style. A step-by-step approach with many worked examples emphasizes the application of basic, practical business management skills in marketing, demand analysis, forecasting, production, finance, leadership, and human resource management. Cases engage readers' minds by promoting active and collaborative learning. Each well-organized chapter includes a list of learning objectives, highlights of the topics presented, and a chapter quiz.
