Summary:

Organizational Behavior, v. 1.1

Talya Bauer & Berrin Erdogan

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.1:

TOOLS FOR LIFELONG LEARNERS:

In order to succeed in a constantly changing job market, individuals need to be armed with the tools necessary for lifelong learning. To that end, this book is not about giving students answers to every situation they may encounter in their careers. Instead, the book provides the vocabulary, framework, and critical thinking skills necessary to diagnose situations, ask tough questions, evaluate answers received, and to act in an effective and ethical manner regardless of situational characteristics.

EXPERIENTIAL APPROACH & “OB TOOLBOX”:

Often, students taking OB either do not understand how important knowledge of OB can be to their professional careers, or they DO understand and they want to put that knowledge into practice. Organizational Behavior takes a more experiential angle to the material to meet both of those needs. This approach can be incorporated in the classroom through the “OB Toolbox,” which brings life to concepts and allows students to not only see how OB theories unfold, but to practice them, as well.

In writing Organizational Behavior, v. 1.1,Talya Bauer and Berrin Erdogan, two leading researchers in management, had simple aims:

To bridge the gap between theory and practice of management with a distinct “experiential” approach.

This textbook is suitable for these courses: Organizational Behavior, Managerial Behavior

This textbook is suitable for 2 and 4 year institutions.

PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES:

HEADS UP:

Sometimes, students struggle to understand confusing concepts or ideas. Each concept is covered with a ”Heads Up“ to ward off confusion from the very beginning.

YOU TRY IT:

Hands-on learning is highly effective. A ”You Try It“ section gives students the reins to walk through economic scenarios themselves, ensuring they also stay on top of important concepts

CUSTOMIZABILITY:

The Flat World Knowledge publishing model allows instructors to adapt the textbook to the exact needs of their specific class and student body.

Published: January 2011 Book Details

Rationale for Changes:

I rearranged the order of the book to build from individual through organization, cut some of the extra chapters we won't use, and deleted the additional ethical cases we will not cover. There's no need for students to purchase what the won't use.

Book was revised to more exactly mimic my syllabus.

Taeya Howell

Rationale for Changes:

Modified order of chapters to fit with preferred course outline.

Christine Probett
Published: August 2012 Book Details

Rationale for Changes:

I liked the high-level learning objectives (those at the beginning of the chapter) but removed the learning objectives for each section within the chapter. I also removed the second case in each chapter. I removed exercises from the back of the chapters but kept the Ethical Dilemmas which I use for team presentations.

Melissa Fender
Published: August 2012 Book Details

Rationale for Changes:

This version of the text increases perception and decision-making theory. It cuts out Maslow, Hertzberg and Vroom & Yetton completely. It changes terminology for cultural transmission. It also re-sequences four chapters -- decision-making precedes conflict and negotiation and org culture precedes structure and change. These are changes that fit better with our timetable and a desire to focus on fewer theories in more depth.

Rationale for Changes:

Revised sequence of chapters to synchronize with course curriculum.
