Define organizational behavior in your own words

1. Define organizational behavior in your own words. Ask a friend outside of class or a work associate to do the same. Identify and explore the nature of any differences between the two definitions.

2. Assume that a friend states, “Organizational behavior is selfish and manipulative because it serves only the interests of management.” How would you respond?

3. Consider the statement “Organizations need people, and people need organizations.” Is this assertion true for all types of organizations? Give examples of where it is and where it probably isn’t true.
