Overview
Now in its fourth edition, this excellent text continues its trademark approach with contributions from scholars committed to thinking differently.

- Cutting-edge new chapter on sustainability provides the latest debates and approaches that have been adopted to address the issue in contemporary organizations.
- Updated throughout with new content, research and examples to reflect the rapidly changing world, including the inequality virus (Oxfam/COVID-19), critical leadership studies, ‘fun’ cultures and the gamification of work, the factors that drive globalization and the role of culture.
- A fully updated companion website is available with guidance for tutors including instructor manuals and PowerPoint slides, as well as essay questions, online cases and a variety of question sets.
- Introduces students to the orthodox view of organizational behaviour before guiding them through alternative outlooks.
- An integrative framework with six core concepts of power, identity, knowledge, freedom, inequality and insecurity is used to explore key topics.
