Organizational Behavior: An Asian Perspective

ISBN-13: 9789814846882

The world of the 21st Century is undergoing rapid transformation on all fronts. This “tsunamilike” change in momentum is best exemplified by the digitalization of everything, which is affecting all aspects of people and organizations around the world and quickening the felt effects of critical events taking place anywhere around the globe. What challenges does the external environment pose to the organization and the people working in it? Which aspects of the organization and its people should managers pay attention to, and act on given the dynamics going on in the rea l world? What should managers consider when making the necessary changes to their organizations, which invariably affect the people working in it and in many cases, even require their concurrence? What are the principles and contingencies that managers must bear in mind in order to systematically size up the necessary changes and implement them effectively in their organizations? These are some of the questions that this book attempts to answer. This book presents a set of relevant theories complete with actual examples of good practices that have been used by real-world managers, especially those in Asia, to shed light on the effective management of people and organizations in a turbulent, connected world. Key aspects or people and organizations addressed include individual characteristics, motivation, teamwork, communication, culture, leadership, conflict, negotiation, decision making, structure and design, and change.
