Organizational Behavior Reading: Decision Making
by Max H. Bazerman Francesca Gino Katherine ShonkThis Reading argues that decision making is systematically flawed and introduces methods to improve decision-making effectiveness. The Essential Reading section covers the rational decision-making model and three important ideas that challenge it: Herbert Simon's concept of bounded rationality; Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman's work on heuristics and biases; and Keith Stanovich and Richard West's conceptualization of System 1 and System 2 thinking. The Reading then discusses seven common biases or heuristics, along with ways to mitigate them, and lists additional common biases to show the broad range of issues that can influence decision making. The authors also describe biases and additional decision-making challenges that are particular to groups. Finally, the Essential Reading draws on Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's concept of choice architecture to present a new framework for better decision making. The Reading includes two Supplemental Reading sections that deal with how motivation and emotion affect decisions, and how flawed decision-making processes can compromise ethics. The Reading also features two videos and one Interactive Illustration.
Organizational Behavior Reading: Developing Your Managerial Career
by Linda A. HillThis Reading examines what it takes to build a successful managerial career. The Essential Reading section contends that a managerial role, by its nature, imposes learning needs that cannot be fully taught in the classroom but must be mastered throughout one's career. It then presents the Developmental Strategies Framework, which focuses on three recurring career challenges: (1) choosing the right position; (2) developing managerial skills by learning from stretch assignments and through periodic reflection; and (3) getting help by building a developmental network. The Reading includes two Supplemental Reading sections: one discusses an approach to honing ethical judgment; the other presents a way to think about integrating work and life goals. The Reading features five videos: "A Great Job Fit," which deals with how to choose new positions; "Seek Challenges," which advocates finding assignments that expand one's knowledge and skill set; "Forging a New Global Comfort Zone," covering the advantages of taking on international opportunities; "Seek Mentors Who Expand Your Comfort Zone," offering advice on how to use mentors; and "Ethical Ambiguity," which provides guidance on the ethical dimensions of managerial decision making. The Reading also includes an Interactive Illustration, "Work Values and Job Selection," in which readers rate five job opportunities, separately rate the importance of nine work values to them, and then analyze whether their job ratings are consistent with their work values.

The Essential Reading outlines key choices leaders must make when managing a change and the common traps that can cause a change effort to fail. It is organized into four sections, each building on the last to provide a roadmap for change that is effectively tailored to the organization and the situation: 1) Diagnosis: Why is change needed?; 2) Design: What sort of change is called for?; 3) Delivery: How can change best be implemented? Who will most likely be affected? What skills and support do leaders need as they manage the process?; and 4) Evaluation: How can the impact of the change be assessed and measured? The Essential Reading closes with a brief discussion of how new practices such as crowdsourcing, open innovation, and social media campaigns are speeding up change in many industries and altering change processes.

Organizational Behavior Today
by Stanley C. RossThis exciting new introductory text offers a new perspective on teaching organizational behavior by framing the organization as the vehicle for implementing strategic management processes, while also breaking down how the different components of an organization are designed to work together. Unlike traditional OB texts, Organizational Behavior Today emphasizes a "big picture" examination of how organizations function in a Darwinian world, in which the primary goal of an organization is survival. The book introduces readers to the three stages of the strategic management process: strategy formulation, strategy implementation and strategic control, thereby linking the organization to its mission, vision and strategic goals. Essential OB concepts such as work processes, policy, worker behavior, reward system, change management and leadership development are covered, and the book also highlights the impact of technology on organizations. To support student comprehension and bring the study of OB to life, the book includes vignettes highlighting real organizations who have implemented OB processes, either successfully or unsuccessfully. End-of-chapter questions ensure that students can apply the information learned effectively. Accompanying online resources for this text, available at www.routledge.com/9780367695095, include a curated list of relevant video content. The book is suitable for undergraduates and graduate students completing a first course in Organizational Behavior, as well as a practical reference for current managers wishing to optimize organizational performance.
