Description
Managing people and their behavior in organizations is one of the most challenging tasks anyone could face. "Gibson's Organizations: Behavior, Structure, Processes, Twelfth Edition", presents theories, research results, and applications that focus on managing organizational behavior in small, large, and global organizations. It is organized and presented in a sequence based on behavior, structure, and processes. Each part is presented as a self-contained unit and can therefore be presented in whatever sequence instructors prefer. "Organizations" is easily adaptable to individual preferences. This edition emphasizes that the most successful managers in the global economy will be those who can anticipate, adapt, and manage change.
