Description: This is not a cut-and-dry approach to OB: Gordon's underlying viewpoint assumes that more than one perspective in OB can be right. She prepares students to analyze organizational situations in a variety of ways, rather than just one. To this end, she presents her acclaimed diagnostic approach, integrating diagnosis--describing, understanding and explaining behavior--and action--controlling, managing or influencing behavior--to bridge the gap between comprehension and understanding. A strong emphasis on diversity issues, such as multiculturalism, gender, and multinationalism, has been retained. The "Sixth Edition" also continues to integrate theory, research and applications, while it updates and enhances coverage to include the most recent trends, techniques and examples in the field today.
