| Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Reality and Challenges (with InfoTrac®) by South-Western College Pub Got what I paid for | | The book was "used" as described, but it didn't come with a CD-rom when I expected it to. Overall, the cost savings made up for it. I just hope the "InfoTrac" is not needed for my class. | | Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Reality and Challenges (with InfoTrac®) by South-Western College Pub Good Stuff | | I am using this textbook for an MBA course. I had already started the class when I ordered the book, but I received my book in enough time where I was not left behind. I appreciate the prompt service. Thanks:-) | | Organizational Behavior: Foundations, Reality and Challenges (with InfoTrac®) by South-Western College Pub Product Description | | Organizational Behavior provides the essential knowledge base and skill set so that future managers can harness the power of employees and teams to successfully navigate the changing world of work. Organizational behavior is the study of individual behavior and group dynamics in organizational settings. It focuses on timeless topics like motivation, leadership, teamwork, and communication. The text presents the opportunity to know concepts, ideas, and theories, and to practice skills, abilities, and behaviors to enhance the management of human behavior at work. To make the book more relevant to the learner, we have enhanced and further integrated the subtitle Foundations, Realities, Challenges into the theme in the 5th edition. The reader will see the tie to the subtitle with new feature titles: Foundations (new title: Science), Realities (new title: The Real World), and Challenges (new title: You) that have a more contemporary and personal feel. This theme will be integrated throughout the text and supplements making a true integrated learning package. In this new edition, six new focus companies have been selected. The authors use the focus companies so that learners can see how one company responds to different organizational situations. The focus companies are a variety of company types, for example, Whole Foods, Pixar, and Canine Companions. The authors also make sure to integrate four organizational behavior key themes into each chapter. These supporting themes are globalization, diversity, technology, and ethics. Sub-themes are designed to arm future managers with the tools they need to meet organizational challenges. |
Launching AppleScripts with Keyboard Shortcuts
Jochen Walters, MacDevCenter.com: “AppleScript automation is one of OS X’s most useful features. It lets you automate common, repetitive tasks so you can spend your time on more important things. Some AppleScripts would be even more useful, and their usage more seamless, if you could launch them by just hitting a key combination. And you can.”

Replacing AppleScript with Ruby
Matt Neuburg, MacDevCenter.com: “I’ll explain how to download and install rb-appscript. I’ll discuss the basics of rb-appscript usage and show how to develop a simple ‘hello world’ script. Finally, I’ll rewrite the Ruby-AppleScript example from my book to use Ruby with rb-appscript instead.”

How to Write a Cocoa Web Server
Jürgen Schweizer, MacDevCenter.com: “A couple of weeks ago a friend asked me to write a Mac-based HTTP server for an intranet web service he was building. I hadn’t forgotten how Mac OS X was praised because of its Unix underpinnings, and the strong networking capabilities that come along with that. As a Cocoa developer, I was confident that I could find a nice Cocoa API that would do the hard work for me, so I accepted...”

A Quick Look at the MarsEdit Weblog Editor
Derrick Story, O’Reilly: “It sports a clean UI that you’d expect from Ranchero (feeling very NetNewsWire like), is very easy to connect to your MT server, enables roundtrip editing in your favorite text editor (in addition to its own friendly editor interface), has easy-to-use image uploading (uses a separate window that also catalogs your previous image uploads for easy repurposing), includes an RPC console, and is AppleScriptable.”

Model-View-Controller in Web 2.0
O’Reilly, Fraser Speirs: “In the Web 2.0 apps that really Get It, they have a database backend, a web frontend and—crucially—some kind of web services API in between. Flickr is a great example of this kind of architecture—almost everything you can do through the Flickr website can be done programmatically through a desktop application.”
