Features: What are the characteristics of future-oriented organizations and what skills and abilities are needed to manage them? These questions do not have a set of universal answers, but they are issues that contemporary managers must seriously consider. This book is an organizational behavior textbook written specifically to address these questions. The book is divided into four parts: Part one introduces how to analyze organizational problems from three perspectives: strategic design, politics, and culture; Part two introduces the theories and skills needed for team management and operation; Part three introduces various issues and relevant theories in labor management, change management, and cross-border management; Part four introduces issues and relevant theories related to contemporary managers, such as managing diversity, negotiation, issue advocacy, and leadership. This book not only clearly explains various theoretical perspectives but also includes a wealth of reading materials, cases, exercises, and even some surveys, making it a valuable reference for understanding organizational theory and guiding management practice.
