The book I purchased from was received in a very timely manner and was in excellent condition when I received it. I would definitely purchase from this seller again (thebookdude)

Loved this book!

I enjoyed reading this book. It was not dull and very informational! I think I am a little spoiled because my other books are not as well-written.

Workplace success...

This book has all sorts of information that will help any group of people working together get along better because of a greater understanding of different kinds of people.

Great book. Must have it, if you are studying Org. Behavior

A colorful introductory textbook on organizational behavior that integrates concepts, theories, and research findings to examine individuals in organizations, groups and organizational processes, and inter-group relations and the organizational context. Case studies illuminate concepts and provide managerial implications. There is a diversity of heuristic features, some integrated into the text and some at the end of each chapter or part. Great book. Must have it, if you are studying Organizational Behaviors (OB). Also, this book is well known to many of top ranked universities in Graduate Programs (MBA) and No. of copies this books have been sold are in few hundred thousands !!! (@ 380,000 copies) justifies it's strength and quality of knowledge as well.
