Salient Features

• New opening vignettes, reflecting current business and economic situations: Titan's rebirth; the motivation of secondary school teachers in rural India; and career aspirations of India's youth are just a few examples of case studies that highlight the challenges organizations face in today's world.

• Improved integration of global implications: International research has exploded in recent years; appropriately global OB research is now woven into each chapter, rather than at the end.

• The 'Summary and Implications for Managers' section has been revised, with added focus on practical, on-the-job application.

• More than 80 new photos and captions, featuring the latest developments in OB, are included to supplement and illustrate the main text.

• Many of the end-of-chapter cases, Point/Counterpoint boxes, International OB boxes, and examples have been updated or changed to reflect current trends.
