5.0 out of 5 stars
Textbook, but easy to follow, October 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Organizational Behavior (10th Edition) (Hardcover)
We used this textbook for several courses in my Organizational Behavior program. Of all the texts we've used, this one has been the most valuable. The text is easy to read and is interesting, and the book offers a great deal of case studies to really emphasize the points. Overall, I think this is a great textbook and it is very versatile in business courses.

Overall great book covering all the concepts....., March 14, 2005
This review is from: Organizational Behavior (10th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is a very easy read. Used it for a CTUonline.edu master's class on organizational behavior. I think almost all organizational behavior-related books cover mostly the same topics. I mean you either know your people or you don't. It's applied psychology. What made this book somewhat unique is that it often cited real life case studies of companies. It also offered various arguments and counterarguments of the different topics that the book covered, such as "does flextime lead to increased productivity?" and "can you teach leadership?"

Good Book, January 10, 2005
This review is from: Organizational Behavior (10th Edition) (Hardcover)
Hi All
This is an Excellent book for Starters. Well defined concepts and theories that actually work in real life situations. I read this book in 1998(9th Edition though).

Good OB text., May 4, 2005
This review is from: Organizational Behavior (10th Edition) (Hardcover)
I Used this book for the Organizational Theory and Behavior class at Columbia Southern University. Easy to read through, and more valuable information in this book than in my last 6 management texts put together. I haven't read any other OB texts though, so I don't know how this one compares with others.

Good content, but unprofessional publishing, February 2, 2005
This review is from: Organizational Behavior (10th Edition) (Hardcover)
I can disagree about the ease of understanding and the knowledge of Stephen Robbins, but Prentice Hall, the publisher of this book, has blown it. This book is filled with typos and misspellings.
For a $120+ book, I would hope they would put it in front of a copy editor.
