For one-semester, undergraduate level courses in Organizational Behavior.

Organizational Behavior, 11e is the world's best-selling textbook for OB because it consistently integrates the most current, cutting edge topics and educational best-practices from management practice and research.  There is a special emphasis on students taking research-based self-assessments, and then connecting the results of those self-assessments to skill  building modules in the text (thereby pulling the student in an engaging way into the textbook content). 

For one-semester, undergraduate level courses in Organizational Behavior.

Q: How do you try to motivate students in your course?  Are they naturally inclined to read the textbook?  If they did read it, do you believe it will help them learn the material more effectively?
