Management and Organizational Behavior: An Integrated Perspective - Tapa dura

The manuscript does a great job of balancing OB and Management. I have influenced the purchase of more than 3500 copies of books in this area during the last decade or so and this is THE book that I would recommend if one were to seek to include Management in their basic class - and possibly for any general Management or OB course.

Management and Organizational Behavior: An Integrated Perpective blends the traditional management and organizational behavior topics by presenting the technical aspects of management and managerial practice, as well as its social-psychological and behavior consequences. The authors present an integrative model that positions Management philosophy as a force which shapes the practice of management and organization design, both of which impact and explain organizational behavior. The text emphasizes that to be a strategic manager, there must be an understanding of the organization, management process, individuals as members, and the deep interrelationship between all these areas.
