Organizational Behavior Power and influence are two critical aspects of the ways that people in organizations interrelate. Power is relatively simple -- it is about how you get what you want.

Organizational Behavior In the last few years, the safe disposal of radioactive and hazardous waste have been increasingly brought to the forefront. This is because the public is demanding that some kind of solution is provided for addressing these challenges over the long-term.
