Behaviour
BUSINESS COLLECTION
Intro
Those new to the study of organisational behaviour can easily be forgiven for not instantly recognising the surprising vitality of it. Often when people think about this are,
they think of hierarchies and rules about what people are allowed (or not allowed!) to do.
Of course, the study of organisational structure and behaviour includes things like this – but it also includes so much more! For me, like my appreciation for cheese, I have grown increasingly fond of this topic over the years, to the point where I now consider it one of the most intriguing topics in business and management. And I am not alone.
