Today’s organizations are undergoing immense change and Organizational Behaviour and Management, 4th Edition is changing with them to provide a cutting-edge introduction for all modern courses.
Martin Fellenz has joined John Martin in comprehensively reorganizing and updating the text, guided by the very latest developments in theory and industry.
