New-gen organizations are different in their design, structure, culture and processes; new-gen employees are different in their attitudes, aspirations and behaviour—they need to be managed differently.
With the development of new-gen organizations and the emergence of new-gen professionals, there is a need to document the behavioural issues and concerns of these workplaces. Cases in Organizational Behaviour presents 120 cases from the new-gen workplace that provide the readers insights into ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ facets of the corporate lives of new-gen professionals. Based on real-life work experiences of corporate executives working with indigenous or multinational organizations operating in India, these cases address a variety of issues faced by professionals in new-gen organizations and their behavioural implications at the workplace.

Supplements
“Cases in Organizational Behavior: Perspectives from the New-Gen Workplace’ is an amazing book for reasons more than one. First, this is a book not on the traditional workplace, rather the New-gen organizations which are different in their design, structure, culture, and processes. Much in the same way, new-gen employees are different in their attitudes, aspirations, and behavior. Obviously, they need to be managed in a different way.
The second reason why this volume is useful is that the author trio has vast experience in the subject. Their perception and familiarity are well-acknowledged in the field.”
