Straighterline Principle of Management and Organizational Behavior FREE books
#1
I've been trying to make this post for the last month, but I've been so busy.

I was able to find two books to complete the Principle of Management and Organizational Behavior for free. I used them both to complete my courses from Straighterline. I've not taken my finals because I've been so darn busy, but do hope to take them sometime soon.

Org behavior:
Straighterline required book is McShane, Steven L. and Mary Ann Von Glinow. Organizational Behavior, 4th edition, McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2008, ISBN: 9780073049779

I downloaded the book from narotama.ac.id university. Just hit the backspace to 'http://ebooks.narotama.ac.id/files', type in 'organizational behavior' in the search box, then download each chapter. Now the download from the website is supper, dooper slow. The server is out of Indonesia. Yeap, Indonesia. The library has a massive amount of free e-textbooks which is pretty impressive.

I ran a comparison to other available chapters and editions, they are very similar.
Chap 1, 2nd edition
chap 4 from edition 6 and 7

This book was not available in Chegg (yes, I am a big fan of them, well a big fan of the 21-day refund).

Principle of Management:
Straighterline required book is Bateman, Thomas S. and Scott A. Snell. Management: Leading and Collaborating in a Competitive World, 7th edition, McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007, ISBN: 9780072923308

This book, lemme tell you, talking about different versions, has a lot of different editions. It's ridicilous. and took me a while to

I found the 9th[SUP]e[/SUP] of the book from McGraw Hill. The site looks like it's in a 'cached' format, no pictures, no coverpage or a table of contents. I searched the web restlessly to confirm which version of the book it is, whether is international or domestic, Management Building Competitive Advantage ; or Management: The New Competitive Landscape; or Management: The new competitive reality; or Management; I mean the titles go on and on and each has a different edition - so imagine. And all of the tables of contents of the books and some sample chapters are exatcly the same, just minor changes. I got so frustrated with it, I wanted to give up and go with Chegg, but the ebook rental price is not attractive to me.

I do believe it might be the 9th edition of Management: Leading and Collaborating in a Competitive World, the required book. I ran a google check on chapter 9, and was able to match it to that of inkling. Inklin also has ch 5 free, but I didn't bother doing the comparison to that of the free Ch 5 from McGraw Hill, which by way matches word-for-word to the free ebook. Inklin requires me to set up an account to view it (and the last thing I need is to clutter my already clutter inbox).

Please keep in mind the publishing year and editions of the books while taking the courses. Because of our so-ever-evolving generation, many terms have changed and/or broaden and may not match what's on the exam, but the overall concept is the same. Also, I know last time when I published the information of the Business Ethics free book, a lot of people had problems combining each chapter into one file because they did not have that capability in their adobe versions to do so. I have uploaded the books in my Google drive for those who need them. I will take turn off access on Saturday, since I don't have ELA/proprietary right to share them.
