Leading Geeks by Paul Glen Pdf

Leading Geeks describes the beliefs and behavior of geeks, their group dynamics, and the unique nature of technical work. It also offers a unique twelve-part model that explains how knowledge workers deliver value to an organization.

Organizational Behavior and Management by John Ivancevich,Robert Konopaske,Michael Matteson Pdf

The author team (Ivancevich/Konopaske/Matteson) has examined, listened, and responded to reviewers’, instructors’, and students’ suggestions on how to continue to make Organizational Behavior and Management, 8e a more user-friendly and application rich introductory OB textbook. To accomplish this, OBM 8e achieves the difficult goal of preserving its key strengths (i.e., thorough, current, good balance of research and practice) while streamlining its content by removing over 100 pages of readings that are now available on the Web. This reduction in page length makes the book more affordable, teachable, and efficient for students. "Preserving scholarship while streamlining" captures the spirit of what I/K/M used as the guiding principle while writing OBM 8e.

Organizations by James L. Gibson Pdf

A consistent theme throughout the eleventh edition of Organizations is that effective management of organizational behaviour needs an understanding of theory, research and practice. Given this theme, the authors present and interpret organizational behaviour theory and research so that students can comprehend the three characteristics common to all organizations - behaviour, structure and processes - as affected by actions of managers. The text is organized and presented in a sequence based on these three characteristics, with each part a self-contained unit so that the parts can be presented in whatever sequence the instructor prefers. The text is easily adaptable to these individual preferences. This edition emphasizes that the most successful managers in the global economy will be those who can anticipate, adapt and manage change.
