Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

'This second edition of the text has been updated with finesse. It addresses internationalization of the curriculum through global case studies and is suitable for students from a diverse range of backgrounds.' - Megan Paull, Lecturer, Murdoch Business School, Australia
'A highly recommended text, this second edition is clearly presented and well written. The new chapter on organizational culture is well developed and the 'break-out' boxes help students make sense of complex issues by relating them to the world of business.' - David Long, Senior Lecturer, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
'A groundbreaking book that bridges the gap between mainstream OB texts and more critical sociological accounts of work. This new edition includes insights into the global context of OB, the relationship between work and society, and important themes such as emotion and work-life balance. Strongly recommended as essential reading for business and management students.' – Melissa Tyler, Loughborough University, UK
'The vocab checklist for ESL students is great.' – Choc, student, China
'This textbook has keyword concepts. For overseas students this is really helpful.' – Xinxin, student, China
'The end of the chapter is very helpful: the summary, key concepts, vocab checklist, questions, etc.' – Roxana, student, Brazil
'An excellent new edition. Clear explanations, illustrations and diagrams combined with excellent 'stop and reflect' sections should encourage engagement with complex theory and concepts. The vocabulary checklists, designed for ESL students, are especially useful, as are the chapter research and review questions.' – Michelle McLaughlin, Croydon Higher Education College, UK
'The integration of sociology and psychology is a timely approach that I would recommend for students at all levels.' – Per Eisele, School of Management, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden
'The approach that the authors take in this book is the kind of critical and engaging style that I would recommend to students studying organisational behaviour.' – Ian Roper, Middlesex University Business School, UK
'The text is well designed from an ESL perspective. ESL students can really benefit from many of the organizational features of the book. The objectives, clear headings, in-text vocabulary support, discussion questions, and vocabulary checklist guide them towards making the most of their reading. These features of the text support rather than frustrate the ESL reader. The inclusion of examples and case studies from many countries and cultures is also motivating for international students as they may be able to act as cultural experts despite their challenge with the language. ESL teachers instruct students on various reading strategies for dealing with a textbook such as previewing, predicting, reading intensively, summarizing, and guessing vocabulary meaning from context; this text supports all of these strategies resulting in a high level of comprehension for the ESL student.' – Karen Densky, Thompson Rivers University, Canada
