Reviews"[I like the] overall coverage of the most important topics students need to know in O.B., the specific coverage of motivation and rewards, and the practical application of the concepts to real world situations."- Robert W. Leonard, Lebanon Valley College, "The end-of-chapter questions and exercises are very useful. The text is very readable and accessible to students. The user will find the end-of-chapter cases timely and instructor supplements quite varied."- Kathleen Johnson, Keene State College, "This text is the perfect level for a 200-level course. It is designed with the subject of OB in mind and not a combo of OB and Management. I really like the case studies at the end of the chapters."- RIEANN SPENCE-GALE, NORTHERN VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE--ALEXANDRIA CAMPUS
