Summary

While there are many textbooks available for courses in organizational behavior, there are very few that address organization theory and even fewer that discuss organization development in any significant way. In three sections, this text thoroughly examines organization theory, organization behavior, and organization development. Each section contains key chapters that address foundations, research, and new directions in these domains.
