CiNii Books - Cases in organizational behaviour : perspectives from the new-gen workplace

New-gen organizations are different in their design, structure, culture and processes; new-gen employees are different in their attitudes, aspirations and behaviour-they need to be managed differently. With the development of new-gen organizations and the emergence of new-gen professionals, there is a need to document the behavioural issues and concerns of these workplaces. Cases in Organizational Behaviour presents 120 cases from the new-gen workplace that provide the readers insights into 'the good, the bad and the ugly' facets of the corporate lives of new-gen professionals. Based on real-life work experiences of corporate executives working with indigenous or multinational organizations operating in India, these cases address a variety of issues faced by professionals in new-gen organizations and their behavioural implications at the workplace. Key Features * 120 cases, classified under 10 major sub-themes of organizational behaviour (OB), covering as many as 18 professional sectors * Ideal for educating and training students aspiring to be part of new-gen organizations and employees already working with them * A general introduction along with abstracts and discussion questions for each case, to assist instructors and participants
