Based on the characteristics of the 21st century, the author of this book proposes that organizational behavior researchers should focus on exploring seven key competencies that managers and leaders should develop and cultivate. These competencies include self-management, management communication, management of differences, management of ethics, cross-cultural management, team management, and management of change. Since the organizational forms of management in the 21st century are learning organizations, emphasis should be placed on self-management and team management within these organizations. Additionally, due to global economic integration, joint ventures and multinational companies are continuously developing, making cross-cultural management particularly important. Currently, we have entered a diverse society, and it is essential to enhance the ability to manage diversity and differences. Western societies also place great importance on ethical management, emphasizing the establishment of correct values, corporate spirit, and corporate culture. In China, this requires particular attention to the construction of spiritual civilization and ideological and political work. Organizational behavior is a highly practical discipline, and its theories are applied in practice. Conversely, through extensive case analysis, relevant themes, viewpoints, and concepts can be summarized.
