    Summary note
    "Business and organizational leaders repeatedly stress the need for increased worker education and preparedness in communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, leadership, ethics, and the ability to work well with others. In other words, people need to know more about The Human Side of Organizations. The Tenth Edition continues a long tradition of fulfilling these needs." "An extensive inventory of pedagogical tools will help you learn to apply the principles discussed in the book. New features integrated into every chapter of the Tenth Edition include: Spot Check exercises to check comprehension of new concepts; Student Self-Assessments that relate chapter concepts directly to you; Skill-Building exercises that apply concepts using realistic organizational situations; and Personal Point exercises that facilitate personal reflection."--Jacket.
