Features: The main features of this book are its timeliness, novelty, scientificity, applicability, and operability. Based on the characteristics of the 21st century, the authors propose 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 diversity, 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. As we have entered a diverse society, it is essential to enhance the ability to manage diversity and differences. Western societies also emphasize ethical management, valuing 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, where theory is applied in practice. Conversely, through extensive case analysis, relevant themes, viewpoints, and concepts can be summarized.
