This book is not worth the cost. It's printed in black and white, but some of the charts and other photos need to have color to be able to read them correctly. This was not stated in the description of the book.

I had to purchase this book for my Organizational Behavior and Management class as part of an MBA program. It has basic concepts that, I believe, anyone who has worked in a professional atmosphere for several years should already be familiar with. I would not recommend purchasing the book. I would rather rent it for the semester or borrow it from the college library if it were available. As far as I have read, I have learned nothing that I did not know before. It covers topics discussed in a high school or college psychology course. I remember the concepts I learned in my high school psychology class, but the book has filled in the blanks where I forgot the terminology for certain behavior types. This book may be more useful for a person interested in human resources. I have no interest in human resources so maybe that is why I am not enthusiastic about recommending this book for your personal library/book collection. If you are interested in psychology, why people behave the way they do and what you can do to correct their behavior or make them bend to your will, then this book may be for you. However, I do hope that there are books published that cover this topic better. I was not satisfied with the coverage of the topic in this book. One other thing, the authors tells the reader several times, and I paraphrase, if you think you know all there is to know about this topic, you are mistaken, pay close attention because this topic is covered at length and you will learn new things. I am not that far into the book, but I became discouraged when I read a scenario about an employee who sued her company because they were using corporal punishment in the workplace to encourage camraderie. The examples in this book, although true, are a bit extereme, for lack of a better explanation. I do not know much about this topic, but maybe the author thought this method was the best way to discuss org behavior.

really bad quality. but then again what can you expect for this price? in my opinion the true price should be $20, not a penny more.

It's a typical textbook. There are meaningful pieces, but there's also a large amount of filler.

A very good and fast service

The item come from India to Mexico in only a few days

I was kind of nervous about buying an economy edition book because I had heard bad things about them and that is why they are so cheap. But this book came in Excellent condition and I have been using my book so far this semester and it is working out great, and it is just like the book that I would have to pay $100 for at the school book store. Thanks alot! an great price!

Organizational Behavior by Stephen Robbins, and Timothy Judge is a graduate level text book on the study of Organizational behavior and how it applies to management.

A valuable tool for understanding how and why people will behave in group settings. The Book describes Organizational Behavior as a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior with in organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organizations effectiveness.

The book is well planned, and easy to read.
