Pearson Leadership In Organizations, 9Th Edition

This book is the India version and has a label stating, “ circulation of this edition outside the Indian subcontinent is unauthorized” ie this can’t even be legally sold to US customers. Also, the prompts differ from the US version and may not be suitable for US classes

This book is not the US edition. I bought it, then ended up buying an electronic copy of the correct edition because the group exercises in the book are not the same. If you are taking classes in the US, check with your school before buying this. It is not intended for sale in the US.

I believe the reason this page exists without a picture is that if the seller placed the picture of the cover on the site, everyone could see that the cover (second picture) does not match the real cover (first picture) and they would note that in the upper left cover it states, "Circulation of this edition outside the Indian subcontinent is UNAUTHORIZED" Inside the cover, the pages are cheap black and white copies. They match up page for page, but do read as easily as the copies are not as crisp a print. I thought I was getting a great deal, but there is no such thing as a great deal.

You will see in one of the photos I uploaded, the class assignment is about page 43, asking about the managerial behavior of two characters named Ben and Phil. In the other photo, you will see the page of 43 in the book I received, which shows two completely different characters, Anil and Akash. This probably won’t work for your course if you are based in the US.

Concepts in this book are extremely poorly explained. I often will read a section several times and fail to grasp how the sentences relate to one another. Paragraphs are more like a collection of thoughts than a cohesive thought or explanation. Book serves more as a reference of jargon than any sort of actual instruction. If this book is assigned for an upcoming class that you may have, I recommend seeing if you can take it with another professor who might be using a better book.

This is an excellent book, updated to the Indian business scene by Nishant Uppal of IIM Lucknow. The book's content is relevant and to-the-point, otherwise it wouldn't be in the ninth edition! Lots of handy tables make it easy to browse through or summarize the chapters. The case studies and review questions makes you ponder well. Indian customization includes cases from Infosys, Tata Sons, Mega Mart, Groove Electronics, etc. The print is clear, in black-and-white. There are no colour pictures like the international edition.

The authors give a good overview of different theories, and mix it up with practical ways to become a more effective leader.
