The most significant change that past users will note is a rearrangement and shortening of the table of contents, as well as enhancement of online modular supplements. The book still covers the discipline in an orderly progression from individuals to groups to influence processes and leadership to organizations. But, it does so in an updated and more succinct fashion. Chapters are still written to be used out of sequence at the instructor's prerogative and to easily fit a variety of course designs.

All chapters are updated to reflect new research findings and current applications and issues. For this edition, and in response to feedback, we have also rearranged chapters and adjusted both content and titles to best reflect developments and directions in the discipline as well as the realities of today's workplaces and career challenges. The major changes were made to strengthen the research component, expand and refocus the chapters dealing with individual behavior and performance, and more fully treat the emerging directions in leadership research and thinking. Look for these and other content changes to the 11th edition: Chapter 2 Individual Differences, Values, and Diversity; Chapter 9 Decision Making and Creativity; Chapter 11 Communication and Collaboration; Chapter 14 Leadership Challenges and Organizational Change; Chapter 15 Organizational Culture and Innovation; Chapter 17 Strategy, Technology, and Organizational Design. Note as well that Chapter 9 Decision Making and Creativity and Chapter 10 Conflict and Negotiation are now part of Part 3 on Teams and Teamwork. In addition to the text chapters, a module on Research Methods in OB has been placed online to offer easy ways to further enrich the course experience.

To help students anticipate, understand, and confront the ethical challenges of work and careers today we have continued our special feature in each chapter—Ethics in OB. This feature presents a situation or issue from an actual case or news report and asks a question of the student reader that requires personal reflection on the ethics and ethics implications. Examples include "Managers lose public trust," "Workers concerned about ethical workplace," and "MBA cheats."

To better communicate the timely research foundations of OB, new content has been added to the popular Research Insights found in each chapter. Each highlights an article from a respected journal such as the Academy of Management Journal and the Journal of Applied Psychology. Sample topics include interactional justice, racial bias, social loafing, demographic faultlines, and workplace identities. For those who want to give research a special focus in their course, we have provided an online module on Research Methods in Organizational Behavior.

To remind students that there are many positive leadership role models from alternative organizational contexts, the Leaders on Leadership feature offers short examples of real leaders, their experiences and perspectives. Examples include Patricia Karter of Dancing Deer Baking, Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo, Sarah Blakely of Spanx, and Lorraine Moore of the Leadership Academy.

To help students apply the insights of OB to real situations and problems, Mastering Management boxes provide insights from real managers and organizations. Examples include "Managing emotions when times are tough," "Six points of human capital," and "How to become a networker." OB Savvy boxes are also interspersed to summarize major findings and applications. Examples include: "Seven steps to positive norms," "How to create a high-performing team," and "Developing your emotional intelligence."

As always, our primary goal is to create a textbook that appeals to the student reader while still offering solid content. Through market research surveys and focus groups with students and professors, we continue to learn what features worked best from previous editions, what can be improved, and what can be added to accomplish this goal both effectively and efficiently. Our response is a pedagogical frame that combines popular elements from the last edition with new ones.

The end-of-text OB Skills Workbook has become a hallmark feature of the textbook, and it has been updated and expanded for the new edition. This edition features the Learning Style Inventory and Kouzes/Posner Student Leadership Practices Inventory. Both fit well in an OB course as opportunities for substantial student reflection and course enhancement. The five sections in the new updated workbook that offer many ways to extend the OB learning experience in creative and helpful ways are:
