Recent technological changes are reflected throughout the book, for example in features on online therapy and “the world’s first robot hotel”. Updates have been made throughout to reflect significant global changes, for example the politics of austerity. A Cognero runs alongside this book, giving a wide range of assessment questions for lecturers and students. Illustrations have been updated throughout, to provide students with memorable visual aids. Editors David Knights and Hugh Willmott present contributions from well-known authors currently teaching and researching contemporary organizational behaviour. An integrative framework with six core concepts of power, identity, knowledge, freedom, inequality and insecurity is used to explore key topics. The text looks at the sociological aspects of organizational behaviour and encourages students to think about the academic theory behind the subject.
