“I would feel like students had been exposed to some useful and instructive information as a result of reading the Leadership chapter. I would feel that they had been provided with an illustration of critical thinking through the story of Langston, who analyzed his situational circumstances and then made decisions about leading based on leadership theory." (Deborah S. Butler)

Stories are memorable and will help remember and associate concepts.” (Marla Lowenthal)

These extended narratives are very useful in linking together the concepts in adjacent chapters to real world situations.

Fantastic
By Aimee A Kane
For nearly decade, I've been teaching hundreds of students a year Introduction to Management and Organizational Behavior courses. During this time I have often lamented the quality of the text books in these areas. One the one hand, "management" texts fail to accurately characterize and incorporate micro topics. On the other hand, "OB" text fail to accurately characterize macro topics. A false choice is created that fails to capture the intertwined "meso" nature of organizational, team and individual processes and outcomes in organizations. Consequently, I find myself needing to provide many additional notes, bring in research insights, develop exercises, find cases, and teach the students how to apply critical thinking skills to solve real-world organizational problems. While my students appreciate these efforts and it helps their learning, I have long wished that a text book could added more value.
At the risk of sounding overly positive, this book has really delivered. First off, it is fundamentally meso; it is the first book I've encountered that integrates and accurately characterizes micro-level topics (e.g., functions of management, motivation theories and their application) with macro-level topics (e.g, open systems model, organizational structures, and strategy). Importantly, it is well-written, research based, relevant, contemporary, and above all else fully integrated. For example, the critical thinking framework (a tool for student to use) and the integrated conceptual model of how the topics fit together, are carried throughout the text, and students are given many opportunities to practice applying them. I had not been planning on changing the text as that involves a fair amount of additional work for an instructor), but this books is so "good" that I am quite likely to adopt it within the next few months. The quality of this book makes the prospect of this change exciting.
