This course examines classic and contemporary theories and principles in management and organizational behavior that help people be more productive and satisfied and help organizations be more effective in achieving goals.
This textbook reflects the most recent research and business events within the field of organizational behavior, following the logical sequence from individual through group to the organization system. This 18th edition features the new employability matrix at the beginning of every chapter which provides a visual guide to features that support the development of skills employers are looking for in today’s business graduates, and the new application and employability section in every chapter which summarizes the relevance of each chapter for students’ employability, the skills learned from chapter features, and the skills to be learned in the end-of-chapter material.
This book takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.
