"This is the outstanding organisation behaviour text book of the decade. It neatly combines information and new thinking with a subtle and sensitive approach to teaching; a must buy."
Andrew Kakabadse, Professor of International Management Development, Cranfield School of Management
"The key message of this book is crystal clear: it is vital to get highly educated students with employability skills into the international market place. Globalisation is offering unlimited opportunities for young talents with the right skills and education. `The world is my oyster' and this book is providing the ideal practical tools for students to open this oyster and find the pearl!"
Jan Urlings, Secretary General, West Midlands European Centre
'At last, a comprehensive coverage of organisational behaviour that will help students apply theory to practice. It is accessible and interesting to read, and also evaluates in an ongoing manner - making it easier to encourage students to do the same.'
Stephanie J. Morgan, Kingston Business School
'This book brings together three things that are important for those seeking to make a difference in organisations, public or private, rigorous thinking, practical skills and international insight. Each of these is important in their own right, the power of this book is that they are woven together to excellent effect.'
Quintin Heath, Human Resources Director, British Sugar Group
'Organisational Behaviour has for too long been understood in narrow terms. This book changes the mould. It links scholarly understanding to the real world of using organisational skills and communication in a global environment.' Brian Head, University of Queensland, Australia.
'Following a career change in 2007, I entered the extremely competitive world of management. Short on knowledge, short on skills and with no background in higher education, I needed guidance. Working closely with Dr Michael Butler on a project transformed the way I went about my business and had a major impact on both my personal and organisational success. This text will definitely be on my bookshelf and I commend it to you. The innovative and timely focus on employability applied to the UK and elsewhere, supported by its rich on line resources, will make a major contribution to your learning and teaching, specifically your development as leaders and managers, whatever your background, because of its practical but rigorous approach.'
Chris Alexander CMgr MCMI, ANPR Manager, Warwickshire Police
