In today's world we rely on formal organizations for almost everything that we do. These organizations in turn shape our expectations of how people should behave. Whether our interaction with an organization is positive or negative will depend on the structure, character, and control of the organization.

The text introduces and explains the central theories, concepts, and models of the field of organizational behaviour; at the same time, it advances the key ideas of competing paradigms, integrating many of their main issues. In this way Organizational Behaviour in a Global Context offers a unique view into twenty-first century organizations.

Featured studies and cases of several major organizations including British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines System, Ontario Hospitals, Pfizer, the Catholic Church, Mountain Equipment Co-operative, Workbrain, Wal-Mart (and many others) allow the reader to understand the context in which to consider specific themes. These themes are also explored in separate chapters--including chapters on gender at work and race/ethnicity in the workplace. Finally, the authors use current research to examine aspects of organizational behaviour from a gender, class, or race/ethnicity approach.

An instructor's manual, available on CD-ROM, includes chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint presentations, a 500-question test bank, additional discussion questions, and previously unpublished case studies drawn from the Dark Side Competition (on Rwanda, Coca-Cola in India, Bhopal, and Nestle).

Industry Reviews

This text is not just global in its content and orientation; it is global in its appeal. At last there is a lucid, well-written OB book, which covers key issues required in OB teaching, but which has a mind of its own. Students and faculty will recognize this is more than standard fare.

--Bill Cooke, Manchester Business School

Combining traditional and critical perspectives, theory and case application, Organizational Behaviour in a Global Context is an invaluable resource for understanding the increasingly complex organizational issues facing leaders, managers, and employees. A comprehensive, engaging, and contemporary text--highly recommended for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in organizational studies.

--Rosemary A. McGowan, Wilfrid Laurier University

An engaging and accessible text that is very effective in bringing a critical perspective to bear on a comprehensive range of topics within organizational behaviour.

--Emma Bell, University of London

Organizational Behaviour in a Global Context stands out among OB textbooks because of its excellent analysis of how gender, class, and race/ethnicity intersect with work and organizations, and for its critical reflection on various organizational behaviors that are taken for granted elsewhere.

--Yvonne Benshop, University of Nijmegen
