great book... bad service

It took me three weeks to get this book. I had to go two weeks of class without the book and it was ridiculous. If you order from these guys, just make sure you have a substantial amount of time before you need it.

Organizational Behavior book

Purchased the book for my daughters MBA class. She said it was required reading for the coarse. I assume if the professor requires this book for the coarse then it must be better than most books of this subject matter.

Exactly what I wanted.............

I need this for a class and this book was exactly what I needed.......and the shipping was very fast.

a textbook worth buying

I have seen other people's review, and I must say that because people have different needs and expectations, so our ratings and opinions about this book is different. I used this book one year ago for my class, and after the final, I sold the book, and now I am taking OB again in grad school, and even though I don't have this book anymore, I took detailed notes while reading this book, and the theories and concepts I wrote in my notes enabled me to support my arguments in my analysis paper. When I was writing my paper, I was thinking that if I still had my textbook, it would be great. (I kind of regret now that I sold the book one year ago.) This book tells you all the fundamental things you need to know about OB, and it also has many self-assessment tests at the end of the textbook). The textbook I am using now for my current class is just a composition of a bunch of articles (kind of like a reader). I feel glad that I had read this textbook before and kept the detailed notes on each chapter, because it helps me understand the basics easier than my classmates who have only read the reader.

Adjunct Professor Uses For All His Classes

This is an outstanding book. It is very easy reading, organized and it communicates information to the student. It is loaded with easy following diagrams which reinforce the material, and it is loaded with real world Corporate America and Military Organizational Behavior examples to support the text work. It has an OUTSTANDING CASE Section which again reinforces the material and makes the student apply the concepts learned in the chapters. Also, this text is complete with alot of Personal Assessment Exercises which make you think about the type of person you are, how to improve yourself in working with others. I've used in now for 3 different schools and the students enjoy it...Mainly for the Easy Reading and the way it introduces the concepts. Price is IRRELEVANT. You can go spend $40 on an Organizational Behavior text and you won't get anything out of it because it is poorly written, no cases and no assessments. Highly recommend for any instructor who wants his students to learn. Great reference book also. Don't sell it!!!
