It defines organizational behavior as a field of study focused on understanding and improving individual and group attitudes and behaviors in organizations. It discusses how firms that effectively manage organizational behavior concepts can see benefits like increased profitability and retention. The key ways of knowing about organizational behavior discussed are experience, intuition, authority, and science. The scientific method, which involves developing and testing theories using collected data and statistical analysis, is emphasized as the most reliable approach.
