Review Quotes:

This text is not just global in its content and orientation; it is global in its appeal. At last there is a lucid, well-written OB book, which covers key issues required in OB teaching, but which has a mind of its own. Students and faculty will recognize this is more than standard fare.

Combining traditional and critical perspectives, theory and case application, Organizational Behaviour in a Global Context is an invaluable resource for understanding the increasingly complex organizational issues facing leaders, managers, and employees. A comprehensive, engaging, and contemporary text-highly recommended for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in organizational studies.

An engaging and accessible text that is very effective in bringing a critical perspective to bear on a comprehensive range of topics within organizational behaviour.

Organizational Behaviour in a Global Context stands out among OB textbooks because of its excellent analysis of how gender, class, and race/ethnicity intersect with work and organizations, and for its critical reflection on various organizational behaviors that are taken for granted elsewhere.
