Seventh Edition continues this global focus by introducing the theme in the first chapter and by discussing global and
cross-cultural issues in many other chapters. Every chapter includes truly global examples, not just how American
companies operate in other parts of the world.

Real-World Examples for the Global Workplace A signature feature of this book is its vivid, real-world, global stories
and examples in every chapter. The opening vignettes set the stage for the chapter. Captioned photos visualize OB
concepts in the emerging global workplace. The Connections feature presents more detailed vignettes.

Currency and research - Strongly anchored in contemporary research, Organizational Behavior has introduced several
emerging OB concepts and practices, such workplace emotions, appreciative inquiry, Schwartzs values model, strengths-
