Organizational Behavior

People are what power organizational performance, competitive advantage, and long-term financial success. Best-selling author Michael Hitt, together with co-authors C. Chet Miller and Adrienne Colella, have written an Organizational Behavior text that helps students understand how Organizational Behavior relates to organizational performance. The author's strategic approach is a unique framework for studying Organizational Behavior. This approach connects Organizational Behavior to Organizational Performance and shows how the behavior of individuals in organizations drives performance. No other OB book has this organizing framework. Hitt/Miller/Colella's strategic approach provides a big-picture framework that helps students appreciate and understand the value of OB to organizational performance and to their future careers.
