{"product_id":"9789814452199","title":"Work, Management, And The Business Of Living","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the modern economic paradigm characterized by a multitude of business management theories aimed at maximizing profits, there is a danger of formalizing management techniques to the extent of dehumanizing individuals or reducing them to humanoids. This book deals with familiar concepts in the management literature, but always in light of the model of the human person. It sheds light on organizing processes in individuals, small groups, and organizations and other large social systems by covering empirical research on three central topics — modes of influence, intrapersonal communication, and change — through which the social context is constantly shifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcepts from other fields are also introduced by the author into the field of management, such as philosophy, biology, sociology, semantics, and mythology, to name a few. As a protest against behaviorism, materialism, objectivism, determinism, elitism, and many other “-ism's” that degrade the human person, this book provides food for thought to students of management and organizational behavior, psychologists and sociologists, as well as political scientists and leaders of business and nonbusiness institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory of Ideas:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Cannot Not Manage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Encounter with Managers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychologist in Business School!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Academia to Wall Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingapore Adopts the Seminar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning is a Two-Way Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Human Person:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Think, Just Look!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical Implications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMembership and Role Acquisition:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA State of Belonging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMembership: A Historical Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole Acquisition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeading and Managing:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeader\/Manager Controversy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview of Case Studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeadership, Fellowship and Follower-Ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral Thesis: Mechanisms of Influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Journey with a Donkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocial Structures:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Human Person as a Universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDyadic Structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriadic Structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWork, Play and Leisure:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemantic Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork versus Labor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeisure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAristotle's View\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy Management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal Conclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Foundations in Quotes:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Managers, psychologists, political scientists, sociologists, graduate students and researchers in social science.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185344266480,"sku":"9789814452199","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814452199_p0.jpg?v=1763690977","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814452199","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
