"It is awesome to see a great resource for some of the foundation classes in Management and Organizational Behavior. Often, first- and second-year students who attend college directly from high school (100-200 course level) only have an 'as seen in the movies' perspective of managers and organizational behavior. This resource covers a wide range of managerial concepts in an easy-to-read and foundational textbook. It uses a structured approach to engage behaviors, group dynamics, and the effects of decision-making by leadership. Ask for a review copy today and check this out!"
