CONTEMPORARY AND INFORMED:
UNPRECEDENTED COVERAGE OF EMERGING TRENDS IN OB

McShane addresses contemporary topics in a depth that other textbooks have yet to achieve, such as virtual teams; telecommuting; knowledge management; organisational politics; creativity; workplace harassment; and the way the Internet is driving fundamental changes in the way organisations are structured.
The text pays special attention to workplace diversity, globalisation, values, ethics, employee relationships, and breaks new ground in its discussions of social identity and workplace bullying, giving students the edge in their appreciation and knowledge of OB issues in today’s evolving business environment.

ACTIVE LEARNING: INVOLVING STUDENTS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS

Written in clear, uncomplicated language, the text has been commended for linking learning with work-related behaviour and its focus on essential concepts and smooth transition from theory to practice.
The book is outcome-driven, examining the results of current OB research in an especially readable and lively form for the business student who needs to make sense of OB principles and apply them thoughtfully. Knowledge is developed cumulatively through a steady and progressive unfolding of essential concepts via models and action learning.

RELEVANT AND ENGAGING: AN ASIA-PACIFIC CONTEXT

How does the crew of the Australian Navy’s Collins-class submarines manage in teams? How does the visual effects company behind Moulin Rouge, Babe and The Matrix sustain workplace creativity? How are South-Korean businesswomen tackling leadership biases? How is Fisher and Paykel in New Zealand making decisions about future product lines? This text features up to 3 cases studies, 3 boxed examples and 5 photographs per chapter, drawing on the workplace practices of regional and international organisations throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The examples are real, current and thought-provoking and relate to student’s experience and interest.
