This book presents 24 research-based cases that require users to apply relevant theoretical models to the analysis of real-life organizations and to specify solutions to practical managerial problems. Nine of the cases additionally provide role-playing exercises. The book is organized into five parts and the cases deal with issues at the interface of strategy, organizational behaviour and HRM. These include: Japanese manufacturing methods, TQM, JIT, high-performance-work teams, greenfield sites, culture and commitment, delayering, recruitment, selection, appraisal and development, managing growth and retrenchment. All the cases are united by the common theme of managing organizational change - in settings as diverse as car components and assembly companies, British Airways, Fulham Football Club, retail distribution and retailing, a partnership of professional surveyors, the NHS and British Rail.

There is a large body of shared knowledge between the study of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management but despite the crossover, they are often treated as very distinct disciplines. Written by a team of experts across both fields, Organizational Behaviour bridges the gap between OB and HRM, with an emphasis on inter-cultural and cross-cultural perspectives of organizational development, talent management, and leadership. Through a critical analysis of existing literature and case studies, the contributors cover topics such as corporate governance, ethical business practices, employee morale and motivation, performance management, corporate politics and conflict resolution, workplace diversity, creativity, and change management - all within the framework of current global employment standards and best practices.
