This book was created as an alternative to the 600- or 700-page comprehensive text in
organizational behavior (OB). It attempts to provide balanced coverage of all the key
elements comprising the discipline of OB in a style that readers will find both informa-
tive and interesting. We’re pleased to say that this text has achieved a wide following in
short courses and executive programs as well as in traditional courses as a companion
volume to experiential, skill development, case, and readings books. It is currently used
at more than 500 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Latin America,
Europe, Australia, and Asia. It’s also been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese,
Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Danish, and Bahasa Indonesian.
• Practicality. This book has never been solely about theory. It’s about using theory
to better explain and predict the behavior of people in organizations. In each edi-
tion of this book, we have focused on making sure that readers see the link between
OB theories, research, and implications for practice.
• Absence of pedagogy. Part of the reason we’ve been able to keep this book short in
length is that it doesn’t include review questions, cases, exercises, or similar teach-
ing/learning aids. It continues to provide only the basic core of OB knowledge, al-
lowing instructors the maximum flexibility in designing and shaping their courses.
• Integration of globalization, diversity, and ethics. The topics of globalization and
cross-cultural differences, diversity, and ethics are discussed throughout this book.
Rather than being presented only in separate chapters, these topics have been wo-
ven into the context of relevant issues. Users tell us they find that this integrative
approach makes these topics more fully part of OB and reinforces their importance.
• Comprehensive supplements. Although this book may be short in length, it’s not
short on supplements. It comes with a complete, high-tech support package for both
faculty and students. Instructors are provided with a comprehensive Instructor’s
Manual and Test Bank, TestGenerator, and PowerPoint slides. The MyManagement-
Lab course provides both instructors and students with various types of assessments,
video exercises, decision-making simulations, and Personal Inventory Assessments.

266. Il mio dotto amico dott. Gaetano Pini, fra i più strenui propugnatori della
cremazione, perchè la conferenza del 6 aprile riuscisse di pratico
vantaggio, propose il seguente ordine del giorno, che ne concreta lo
scopo e che venne unanimemente accolto. «L’Assemblea fa voti che
nella prossima discussione, la quale avrà luogo in Parlamento, intorno al
progetto del nuovo Codice sanitario, già approvato dal Senato del
Regno, venga ammesso all’art. 185, come facoltativa, la cremazione dei
cadaveri, lasciandone ai sindaci dei Comuni la sorveglianza.» L’altro
amico mio, Mauro Macchi, deputato, promise appoggiare tale mozione
in Parlamento.
La cena
Funebre irato obblia l’erede, e fetide
Dà l’ossa all’urna, il cinnamo svanito
Non curando, e le casie ammarascate.
Trad. V. Monti.
269. «Essersi sovente ascoltati uomini preclari della nostra città avvezzi a
dire: allorquando vedevano le immagini de’ maggiori, queste
gagliardissimamente accendere l’animo loro a virtù: vale a dire non tanta
efficacia aver quella cera o figura, quanto crescere in petto agli egregi
uomini la memoria delle loro gesta con ardente incitamento, nè questo
mai sedarsi, finchè la loro virtù non ne abbia raggiunta la fama e la
gloria.»

281. «Quelli che il padre di famiglia acquistò per sè e suoi eredi, o per diritto
ereditario.»
282. «Questo monumento non segue gli eredi; o non passa agli eredi.»
286. Fu riprodotta la bella memoria del Carrara dal Giornale del Tribunali di
Milano, Anno II, N. 225 e 226, ossia 20 e 21 settembre 1873.
288. «Ad Anio Vejo di Marco, Duumviro per la giustizia, quinqueviro per la
seconda volta, tribuno de’ soldati eletto dal popolo; per decreto de’
Decurioni.»
289. «A Mammia figlia di Publio (oppure di Porcio se il monumento vicino è di
suo padre o d’alcuno della sua famiglia) sacerdotessa pubblica, luogo di
sepoltura dato per decreto de’ Decurioni.»
292. Ep. 1, lib. 2. Vedi anche la lettera sua a Marco Mario, Epist. 3, lib. 7.
293. «Ad Aulo Umbricio Scauro Menenio figlio di Aulo, duumviro di giustizia, i
Decurioni decretarono il collocamento d’un monumento, duemila
sesterzi [294] pe’ suoi funerali e una statua equestre nel foro. Scauro
padre al proprio figlio.» Taluni, in luogo di Umbricio, la incompleta parola
...RICIO, lessero per Fabricio; altri per Castricio: io ho seguito chi lesse
Umbricio.
294. Appena questa somma, che corrisponderebbe a 400 lire, poteva bastare
alla spesa del rogo e della cerimonia funebre. Certo le altre spese, come
i ludi gladiatorj, sarannosi sopportati dalla famiglia.
296.
308. «A Lucio Cejo figlio di Lucio, Menenio: a Lucio Labeone per la secondo
volta duumviro di giustizia e quinquennale, Menonaco liberto.»
311. «M. Arrio Diomede liberto di ... Maestro del sobborgo Augusto Felice,
alla sua memoria ed a quella de’ suoi.»
319. Così ne resero conto i Soprastanti agli Scavi nella loro Relazione
ufficiale dei lavori eseguiti dal 1 novembre al 31 dicembre 1868.
«19 (novembre). Proseguendosi tuttora lo scoprimento della su cennata
località, nella penultima di esse, accosto al muro esterno, ed all’altezza
di circa quattro metri dal pavimento, si è rinvenuta una testa virile in
marmo di grandezza naturale, scheggiata al naso ed alle orecchie...
«24. Nella stessa località indicata il giorno 19, all’altezza di circa tre
metri dal suolo, si è rinvenuta un’altra testa virile in marmo, anche di
grandezza naturale, un poco scheggiata al naso, e mancante della parte
anteriore del collo, ov’era stata restaurata dagli antichi, osservandosi un
pernetto di bronzo che sosteneva il pezzo che manca.» Giornale degli
Scavi. Nuova serie, n. 5, p. 119.
