Book is: Human Behaviour in Organization (2nd Edition)

Read all the cases (at the end of chapters 1-6). Do not try to use them as illustrations of each of the chapter’s theoretical concepts. Just read them as if they are short stories, and note you thoughts and feelings as you are reading them. Try to identify both your initial reactions and some of the underlying values, assumptions, beliefs and expectations you have, which affect how you interpret the behaviors of people in the cases, and how you assign motives to the characters. DO NOT answer the Case Questions at the end of each case.

In a short essay answer the following questions, with specific examples: 1. What are the value judgments and assumptions of the authors of the cases? 2. Which perceptual biases are they using? 3. Do you think they are consciously using these assumptions and biases to make their point(s)? Why or why not? 4. How can you determine the difference between “facts” and exaggerations in the cases in this book? Give at least three examples.
