Review
I found the ethics questions to be excellent. I wish more texts had something like this.
The colors and design of the Nelson/Quick text enhance their straightforward presentation of the topics.
The text is thorough, well written, and the language is clear. It covers the basic topics. The graphics and use of color are good.
Overall, I think it is a solid text – certainly among the top handful of OB texts that I have seen. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Organizational Behavior,
By Amber French (Harlaxton College, Grantham, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Realities and Challenges (Hardcover)
We used this book as our textbook for Organizational Behavior this semester, and I found it to be extremely helpful. The writing is clear and concise, and the chapters are divided into four parts that make the distinction between individual and group study clear. There are plenty of graphs, tables, and diagrams, which illustrate the theories and statistics clearly. Most helpful, however, were the vocabulary definitions and the chapter summaries, which alleviated some of the pre-test stress.

Org. Beh. review from Kate Sirko in Harlaxton, ENGLAND,
By Kate Sirko (Harlaxton, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Realities and Challenges (Hardcover)
The book, Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Realities, and Challenges by Debra Nelson and James Quick is a good source for anyone interested in learning about the behavior in organizations. It involves everything from the general concepts of organizational behavior to the detailed structure and processes within an organization. The graphs and charts help the visual learners, such as myself to better understand important concepts and theories. After each chapter, the authors displays summaries for the learner to review important key terms and concepts before reading on to the next chapter. Unfortunately, the defintions of the majority of the terms throughout the book can be described in a simple, easy to understand way, but the authors fail to do so. On the other hand, various case studies fill the book for students to get involved in class discussions and debates. Overall, this book is a good source for professors and teachers to utilize in their classrooms.
