Cases in Organizational Behavior
- Gerard Seijts - The University of Western Ontario, CANADA
The Ivey Casebook Series
Each of the casebooks comes equipped with instructor's resources on CD-ROM. These affordable collections will not only help students connect to real-world situations, but will benefit corporations seeking continued education in the field as well.
Cases in Organizational Behavior has been designed to help readers develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, the various challenges, dilemmas, and constraints that decision makers face in real organizational settings. The cases are made up of actual events and address globalization, managing a diverse workforce, motivation, and leadership. Together, these cases provide students with the opportunity to practice and hone analytical skills, decision making skills, application skills, planning skills, and oral communication skills. The instructor's resources on CD-ROM includes detailed 6-10 page casenotes for each case, preparation questions for students to review before class, discussion questions, and suggested further readings.
The casebook is divided into four chapters:
- Building Effective Organizations
- Leading People
- Team Management
- Change Management
Cases in Organizational Behavior can be used as a core text in courses that require the structure of a text. This book of cases can also be used to apply the principles in business and management courses, as well as in psychology courses.

Mergers and Acquisitions: Text and Cases
An excellent text which provides realistic case studies to help students appreciate the complexity of any organisation.
Useful and interesting text. Not just for organisational behavior but for a broader set of business and management topic areas. The text provides a number of engaging case studies, which are useful in giving life to the relevant theory.
Readability - Relevance
Although these cases were good, I did not feel they would engage undergraduates who are just learning about OB. There needs to be companies they recognize and can relate to.
Cases haven't lent themselves to a critical management perspective.
cumulative cost of books for this course
Did not mesh well with the text. Cases were not well organized into sections either.
The current text book I'm using, Colquitt, Lepine, Wesson, provides case studies and videos for use in the class.
