Cases in Organizational Behavior
- Gerard Seijts - The University of Western Ontario, CANADA
The Ivey Casebook Series
Cases in Organizational Behavior has been designed to develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, the various challenges, dilemmas, and constraints that decision makers face in real organizational settings. The cases are made up of actual events and include globalization, managing a diverse workforce, motivation, and leadership. Together, these cases provide students the opportunity to practice and hone analytical skills, decision making skills, application skills, planning skills, and oral communication skills.
An excellent text which provides realistic case studies to help students appreciate the complexity of any organisation.
Useful and interesting text. Not just for organisational behavior but for a broader set of business and management topic areas. The text provides a number of engaging case studies, which are useful in giving life to the relevant theory.
Readability - Relevance
Although these cases were good, I did not feel they would engage undergraduates who are just learning about OB. There needs to be companies they recognize and can relate to.
Cases haven't lent themselves to a critical management perspective.
cumulative cost of books for this course
Did not mesh well with the text. Cases were not well organized into sections either.
The current text book I'm using, Colquitt, Lepine, Wesson, provides case studies and videos for use in the class.
