Review :
"Finally we have a text that combines leadership and organizational behavior. Terri Scandura has done it! This approach gives leaders a strong foundation on how leaders can apply organizational behavior principles to improve performance at every level in the workplace."--Jim Bryan "In order to compete in today's world, students must be knowledgeable of current events. The case studies incorporated in this text enable students to share experiences with their peers and to feel more equipped in solving real world problems."--Minerva Cruz "Professor Scandura presents a wonderful vision for an advanced organizational behavior text. As students of organizational behavior enter the workplace, one of the major challenges they face [is] applying theory to practice. Professor Scandura's exemplary work is a contemporary model where students can fully appreciate the science-practitioner model of organizational leadership."--Chan Hellman "Scandura offers a rigorous, evidence-based approach to Organizational Behavior that is presented in a straightforward, easy to read style. I think students will enjoy reading this book, and learn a lot while doing so."--Hannah R. Rothstein "Scandura's text provides a view of organizational behavior for the leader that is relevant to today's education at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The opportunities to apply this learning are embedded in every chapter and accessible for all students."--Marie Hansen "Scandura's OB text is pitched at a level that will resonate well with MBA students."--Carrie Hurst "The authors concise "plain talk style" simplifies complex concepts and research, enabling students to easily grasp contemporary issues and solutions associated with Organizational Behavior."--Jay Jacobson "The Scandura text provides a rich contribution to the traditional Organizational Behavior conversation. It is well- grounded in behavioral theory and contemporary organizational research and promotes the tangible application of both."--DeNisha McCollum "Wonderful integration of Leadership for the OB student. Provides tools that will be useful early in the careers of our students."--Michael R. Buckley "After many years of teaching, I am finally happy to see a text that only focuses on material that is truly useful for today's business students. Students are interested in gaining the tools to become good managers, not a historical overview of the field. This text emphasizes material that is most current and relevant."--Cecily Cooper "Breaks the mold in management text books and management education."--James W. Bishop "Scandura's new text delivers on the promise of a concise yet substantive and evidence-based survey of Organizational Behavior."--David McCalman "Terri Scandura's textbook with its central focus on leadership highlights the notion that leadership is at the crux of organizational behavior and that training students to do is what we as instructors should be about. This is especially true for student-managers pursuing MBA degrees. Everything we do in class, everything we teach, every assignment and every paper should give student-managers a down-to-earth lift toward effective leadership. Scandura's textbook addresses leadership issues and shows how theories and concepts of OB can help students in their careers."--Robert Toronto "The integration of a leadership perspective into each topic and the presentation of possible implications for the practice of leadership are rare and valuable contributions to the study and understanding of organizational behavior. This textbook will be useful for students not only while they are in the classroom, but as they enter (or re-enter) the contemporary and complex situational contexts of real-world organizations."--Jody A. Worley "This text offers a practical research-based approach to the study of organizational behavior and provides a meaningful description of the leader's role in the organization." --Joel Baldomir
