Key OB theories are illustrated with contemporary examples that will resonate with students and will prompt them as future managers to consider their roles in addressing inequalities and ensuring sustainable practice.' - Helen Mortimore, Plymouth University, UK 'This is an extremely informed and thought-provoking text which should both stimulate and challenge all those interested in contemporary issues in modern organisations of all kinds. Students and teachers alike should find much here to provoke discussion and critical reflection.' - Susan Miller, Durham University Business School, UK 'This defining and lucid book on OB is essential reading for researchers and students looking to understand the complex nature of work and organizations.
