Q: Are you looking to teach your course with more experientially? Where do you currently pull readings to support your OB course?

Unmatched selection of classic & contemporary readings - Covering the key topics in the field. Whenever there was no excellent selection that was both up-to-date and well written available, we had authors write especially for the reader, e.g. articles by Richard Nielsen, Roy Lubit, and Cristina Gibson.  Other selections have been excerpted from books by well-known authors (e.g., Denise Rousseau, Robert Quinn, John Kotter, and the selection by Ulrich, Kerr, & Ashkenas).

·     Provides faculty with a broad, highly user friendly selection of articles to support this course.  

·     Prepare students to diagnose and understand organizational issues so they can be more effective.

Reader-friendly – All selections were closely scrutinized for their readability and  reader-friendlyness and carefully excerpted when necessary.

·     None of the articles are written in a manner that lessens their appeal for students.
