Product Description
BEHAVIOR IN ORGANIZATIONS, 9/e, by Shani and Lau, is a paperback text that takes a hands-on, experiential approach (learning-by-doing or learning-in-action) to organizational behavior. The majority of the exercises, role-playing simulations, and cases were developed in and for management training workshops. The cases themselves represent different industries and organizations around the globe with diverse size, product, service, and cultures. Instructors appreciate the multiple interactive teaching methods for each teaching module. Experiential methods provide a powerful stimulus for learning, growth, and change by helping participants focus on their own behaviors and reactions as data. The text begins with structured, less personal exercises that are readily recognized as relevant to human effectiveness in organizational settings. Personal growth and self-understanding activities are introduced later in the text, after students have had enough experience to become more comfortable and ready for them. The ninth edition of this book, like the previous editions, is designed to meet needs that other texts do not satisfy.

Very involved book October 3, 2008
Gaius Julius Ceasar (Ancient Rome)
I found the book to be interesting, however not much new that i haven't learned elsewhere. What this book does have is several group projects per chapter, which is it's strength. Group projects present good issues for groups to tackle and work with. They really do help you in learning the concepts and the theory behind this book

the book isn't that great to read, especially for a organizational behavior class. it doesn't really go in depth about certain things.
I have been using the 5th ed for ten years! April 24, 2006

I took a bachelors course on Organizational Behavior from Dr. Shani at Cal Poly in 1996. Since then, I have used the book as a resource in graduate studies and in my team and leadership development work. The experiential learning method is a fantastic method that works especially well with teams. I highly recommend this paperback. I would rate this edition higher but have yet to see the updates. If it is anything like the fifth edition, you will not be disappointed.
