To illustrate this concept, one must look into a working company and see how it could be or is applied and functioning. Purchasing, Sales and Marketing, Information Services, Human Resources, and Management are the largest areas in a corporation where organizational behavior would be mast useful.
Purchasing needs organizational behavior so that they can be sure they understand specifically what they are purchasing. They also need to be able to communicate efficiently with providers so that there are no misunderstandings regarding items such as: correct item, terms and conditions, payment arrangements, transport. Also they need to be able to deal with the provider if something goes wrong and be able to solve the issue smoothly. These things are organizational behavior issues.
Likewise, sales and marketing are all about people skills. Sales and marketing requires being able to package a product in order that the consumer will want it. They must be in constant contact with the consumer(s) checking for satisfaction. They also must be able to direct the company how the consumer wants the service/product to be improved upon. Organizational behavior allows these transactions to flow smoothly.

Whether it is anew program or just fixing a bug, they need to be able to successfully ask the right questions in order to determine the correct need. They need to be able to communicate with coworkers who can help in obtaining the finished product.
Human resources definitely uses organizational behavior. They deal with all personnel. They need to be able to communicate correctly salary amounts and solve any issue employees have such as: benefits, hiring, time off, promotions, vacation, etc.
