Summary: "It's been said that the only constant is change. And change continues to be the watchword for managers everywhere. Now more than ever, managers need a comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of the assets, tools, and resources they can draw upon to compete most effectively. And understanding the people who comprise organizations operating employees, managers, engineers, support staff, sales representatives, decision makers, professionals, maintenance workers, and administrative employees-is critical for any manager who aspires to understand change and how his or her organization needs to respond to that change. As we prepared this edition of Introduction to Organizational Behavior, we once again relied on a fundamental assumption that has helped the book remain a market leader since the publication of its first edition more than two decades ago: we must equip today's students (and tomorrow's managers) with a perspective on managing people that allows them to create, interpret, judge, imagine, and build behaviors and relationships. This perspective requires students to gain a firm grasp of the fundamentals of human behavior in organizations-the basic foundations of behavior-so that they can develop new answers to the new problems they encounter. As new challenges are thrust upon us from around the world by global competition, new technologies, newer and faster information processes, new worldwide uncertainties, and customers who demand the best in quality and service, the next generation of managers will need to go back to basics-the fundamentals and then combine those basics with valid new experiences in a complex world, and ultimately develop creative new solutions, processes, products, or services to gain competitive advantage." --Preface
