Abstract: Abstract It is difficult to define the subject matter of organisational behaviour (OB).1 It includes much of industrial psychology, industrial sociology, and sociology of occupations, most of organisational psychology and organisational sociology, political science, and anthropology; and nowadays it even entails a bit of computer sciences. However, it is less encompassing than organisational theory, which deals with hard normative subjects such as game theory, decision-making theory and mathematical models of a company.2 Besides, its nomenclature notwithstanding, organisational behaviour gives relatively little attention to the behaviour of organisations per se. Primarily it is concerned with the behaviour of people within organisations, and most especially businesses.
