The book by Stephen P. Robbins and Timothy A. Judge focuses on interpreting and addressing the behavior of individuals within an organizational context. In a particularly concise manner, the authors manage to summarize many important issues in a relatively small volume. They complement the material with examples from well-known organizations, linking theory to the real world of business.

Among other things, contemporary issues of organizational behavior are covered, such as the dissemination of information, barriers to change and how to overcome them, the creation of an ethical culture, addressing the lack of initiative, and resolving disagreements and conflicts.
