Organizational Behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an organization's effectiveness. This domain overlaps with business information systems, which are the technologies and procedures employed by companies to manage their information. Business, in this context, refers to the activities involved in the production, distribution, and sale of goods or services. Therefore, Organizational Behavior encompasses the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations, the use of information systems in these organizations, and the overarching business operations.
