Organizational behavior (OB) and management is such an interesting subject to study. It covers the most important dimensions of organizational life, and is pertinent to each and every organizational member.

Students often embrace the course with great enthusiasm and zeal and find themselves harvesting enhanced knowledge and wisdom. Yet, knowledge without a corresponding behavior change is a sterile thing. Such an understanding of OB and management is only academic and out of touch with reality. The capacity to converting academic knowledge into behavior and practice may be the greatest challenge in effective learning of the subject.

Two touches lighten up the learning journey of OB and Management: Effective and joyful. They become a guide for our design of the book. Organisational Behaviour and Management: Concepts, Cases, and Experiential Learning.

Here, we present a collection of stimulating learning materials. They are designed to bring to life various key concepts in organization behavior and in management. These materials give students ample opportunity to think critically when applying theories to real life situations and allow them to experience for themselves the complexities inherent in managing organizations. Students are encouraged to immerse themselves into management situations and vicariously experience for themselves the thoughts and emotions which may be involved. In addition, some of the role-plays in this book also contain special contexts that instill courage in decision-making.
