Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of invited essays about aspects of organisational behaviour and management that pose particular challenges to managers of contemporary organisations. Up–to–date, relevant and stimulating, the essays identify a particular theme in organisational behaviour and discuss the challenging issues, future directions and controversies related to the theme. The essays also identify the implications for organisations, managers and employees.
Topics covered include the future of work, management competencies, stimulating high performance outcomes through non–financial incentives, career management and job design, new organisational forms in a virtual era, trust and communication in organisations and strategic networking and sustainability.
Designed to accompany Wood et al, Organisational Behaviour: A Global Perspective (2nd edition) , and reflecting the structure of the new edition, the book can also be used in conjunction with Davidson & Griffin, Management: Australia in a Global Context and other texts in management and organisational behaviour. Overall, the essays are intended to support undergraduate and postgraduate courses in both organisational behaviour and management.
