Recenzje

"A truly comprehensive textbook on management and organization behavior. I was very pleased to see separate sections on history of management and how the management gurus perceive the future of governance."

Jagdish N. Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Business, Goizueta Business School, Emory University, USA

"The second edition of Principles and Practices of Management and Organizational Behavior by Singh and Khatri offers extensive case-based learning and best practice guidance on every large-scale activity a modern-day manager and leader may engage in. Ranging from planning to staffing and controlling, to strategic decision-making, the case studies in the book incorporate Porter’s five forces and other modern management models to allow any organization’s competitive environment to be assessed and analyzed. The book then formulates a set of best practices for organizational sustenance using modern management techniques. The book also explains the key concepts and practices of effective leadership styles at all levels and goes on to distinguish these using the Hersey–Blanchard model. Under organizational behavior, this book lays emphasis on the electronic form of organization, its evolution and subsequent maturation and incorporation of action research models in the development of such organizations. Through multiple case studies and examples, developmental interventions and resistances to change within organizations are dealt with. Case studies with respect to organizational sustenance and ethical organizational culture, in alignment with changing business conditions and market scenarios, are presented to help the practitioners, researchers and management students at graduate, postgraduate and doctorate levels understand and adopt strategies, concepts, principles and practices. The authors have also included a discussion on organizational power and polity to enable the reader to understand their significance, exercise control and institute relevant organizational ethics for behaving politically and helping to co-create a healthy organizational culture as a stakeholder."

"A good pick! Not only for students and faculty, but also for new managers in organizations. The content is focused on connecting the basic theories of management, the principles, the concept and the structure, insights into the ever evolving organization culture and incorporating the modern day best practices and formulation of organizational behavioral strategies. Each chapter includes real life case studies that make the read even more interesting, relatable and easy to understand. The strength of the book lies in adherence to the tagline: The Complex Concepts Simplified Through Case Scenarios."

Amlan Chakrabarti, Professor & Director,, A.K. Choudhury School of Information Technology, University of Calcutta and Head, IT & Tech. Innovation Cell, Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal.

 

"Chandrani Singh and Aditi Khatri’s book, Principles and Practices of Management and Organizational Behaviour (2nd ed.), is a complete package of management concepts, practices and organizational behaviour including management tips from gurus of yesteryear as well as modern times. Emphasizing functions and approach, it critically evaluates real-life business scenarios using strategic management and covers the behavioural aspects of an organization from people’s perspectives. I am sure it will be of immense use to the students, academic fraternity and budding professionals."

Surbhi Dahiya (née Bhalla), IAMCR Faculty Ambassador, Professor, Department of English Journalism, Indian Institute of Mass Communication

 

"This book offers a unique amalgamation of two significant academic concepts, that is, ‘Principles and Practices of Management’ and ‘Organizational Behavior.’

Institutes offering niche programs often struggle with incorporation of these two as separate courses owing to their specialized focus on specific domains. This title addresses this problem and gives optimum as well as effective understanding of basic concepts related to principles and practices of management and organizational behavior in a single text."

Nilesh P. Gokhale, Associate Professor, Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Pune, Mentor, Brand Communication Practice, Marketing Society
