Infos

This book provides guidelines that students and professionals can relate to, pointing to relevant cases and methods. ?At the MBA Level, students have proven interested and seek further exploration of the concepts learned through college and their personal experiences in the field. As organizations become more diverse, there is a need to discuss and reference updated academic research on all seven major OB topics: Individual differences, motivation, teams, decision making, communication and conflict, leadership, and organizational processes. The book incorporates the post-pandemic perspectives on each topic. Example topics include  personal value changes (chapter 2), challenges in motivation  (chapter 3), virtual teams (chapter 4), decision making behavior forces during pandemic (chapter 5), zoom communication fatigue (chapter 6), leading in time of crises (chapter 7), and organizational change (chapter 8). This MBA guidebook will help students navigate the rapidly changing work landscape by tapping into some of the fundamental aspects of human behavior, allowing them to approach diverse human interactions from a more personal perspective.
