About This Textbook:
Listen to this podcast here of Talya Bauer discussing her textbook and the Organizational Behavior course for insight into her new text.
Two leading researchers in Management, Talya Bauer and Berrin Erdogan, bring you a new Organizational Behavior textbook that bridges the gap between theory and practice with a distinct ”experiential“ approach. On average, a worker in the USA will change jobs 10 times in 20 years. In order to succeed in this type of career situation, individuals need to be armed with the tools necessary to be life-long learners. To that end, this book is not be about giving students all the answers to every situation they may encounter when they start their first job or as they continue up the career ladder. Instead, this book gives students the vocabulary, framework, and critical thinking skills necessary to diagnose situations, ask tough questions, evaluate the answers received, and to act in an effective and ethical manner regardless of situational characteristics. Often, students taking OB either do not understand how important knowledge of OB can be to their professional careers, or they DO understand and they want to put that knowledge into practice. Organizational Behavior by Bauer and Erdogan takes a more experiential angle to the material to meet both of those needs. The experiential approach can be incorporated in the classroom primarily through the ”OB Toolbox.“ This feature brings life to the concepts and allows students to not only see how the OB theories unfold, but to practice them, as well. One great example is the "OB Toolbox" here in the Leadership Chapter. Talya and Berrin's 1.1 version has an additional 15 cases for a total of 29 cases that instructors can mix and match for their Organizational Behavior course. Some of the new cases included are: Nau, Goodwill Industries, Zappos.com, LinkedIn, Camden Property Trust, Steve Katzenberg, Edward Jones Investments, and Starbucks. A matrix to help instructors mix and match the cases is included in the updated Instructors Manual. In addition, discussion question have been added for each case, and the Toyota, Google, and Steve Jobs chapter opening cases have all been revised to reflect the most current information on the companies and people.Supplements:

Rationale for Changes:
I rearranged the order of the book to build from individual through organization, cut some of the extra chapters we won't use, and deleted the additional ethical cases we will not cover. There's no need for students to purchase what the won't use.

Modified order of chapters to fit with preferred course outline.

- Published: August 2012 Book Details
Rationale for Changes:
I liked the high-level learning objectives (those at the beginning of the chapter) but removed the learning objectives for each section within the chapter. I also removed the second case in each chapter. I removed exercises from the back of the chapters but kept the Ethical Dilemmas which I use for team presentations.

Rationale for Changes:
This version of the text increases perception and decision-making theory. It cuts out Maslow, Hertzberg and Vroom & Yetton completely. It changes terminology for cultural transmission. It also re-sequences four chapters -- decision-making precedes conflict and negotiation and org culture precedes structure and change. These are changes that fit better with our timetable and a desire to focus on fewer theories in more depth.
