"Organisational Behaviour is the systematic and scientific analysis of individuals, groups, and organisations; its purpose is to understand, predict, and improve the performance of individuals and ultimately, the organisations in which they work. It applies theory and research from psychology and sociology, and managerial theory that help us to understand how to use this knowledge to improve the effectiveness of organisations. This book is an attempt to discuss some areas of Organisational Behaviour that has been given more thrust recently. The book shall be an interesting reading for the persons having interest in behavioural science." (jacket)
