Emotion, Cognition, and Their Marvellous Interplay in Managerial Decision-Making
How do affect, cognition, and their interplay influence managerial decision-making at the individual, group, and organizational levels? How can these influences be fostered or reduced? This book conceptually and empirically answers such questions, and considers important theoretical issues for future research about the complex functioning of the human mind in managerial decision-making.
Managerial and Entrepreneurial Decision Making
Since the conceptualization of bounded rationality, management scholars started investigating how people—managers and entrepreneurs—really make decisions within (and for) organizations. The aim of this eBook is to deeply investigate trends that have flourished within this pivotal research area in conceptual and/or empirical terms, trying to provide new insights on how managers and entrepreneurs make decisions within and for organizations. In this vein, readers that approach this eBook will be taken by hand and accompanied to the discovery of how the mind of decision makers is at the basis of organizational developments or failures. In this regard, published contributions in this eBook un...
No Need to be Afraid
The story of how Italians struggled to earn the right to live and work amidst an Anglo-Saxon society. It is a story of fear: the Britishers' fear that the 'swarthy' undesirables would threaten their jobs and their way of life; the fear, as WW2 erupted, that Italians might sabotage the war effort and assist the Axis powers to take over Australia.

Business Practice in Socialist Hungary, Volume 1
This study aims to reconstruct the activities of enterprises and individuals over two decades in one developing country (Hungary), within and across four politico-economic domains (agriculture, infrastructure/construction, commerce, and manufacturing), from the initial Stalinist obsession with heavy industry (Volume 1: Creating the Theft Economy, 1945-1957) through later reforms paying greater attention to profitable farming and the provision of abundant consumer goods (Volume 2: From Chaos to Contradiction, 1957-1972, forthcoming 2023). It provides hundreds of grounded, granular stories for reflection, as reported by actors and direct observers, ranging from innovation and improvisation to ...
BETWEEN INSTINCT AND REASON
This book offers an in-depth exploration of fear, examining its crucial role from the dawn of humanity to modernity. It reveals how fear, beyond being a simple instinctive defence mechanism, has acted as a catalyst for cultural, social and technological development throughout history. The book investigates the biological roots of fear and its role in the fight or flight response, showing how this primitive instinct continues to influence our reactions to threats today. By delving into historical cases and psychological perspectives, the book illustrates how fear has shaped decisions and behaviour, highlighting its impact on public policy and personal relationships. It also offers strategies for transforming fear from an overwhelming paralysis to a motivating force for innovation and personal growth. With an accessible and scientifically rigorous approach, this book is essential for those interested in understanding and redirecting one of the most powerful and pervasive emotions of our species towards human well-being and progress.
Memetics and Evolutionary Economics
This book explores the question of whether and how meme theory or “memetics” can be fruitfully utilized in evolutionary economics and proposes an approach known as “economemetics” which is a combination of meme theory and complexity theory that has the potential to combat the fragmentation of evolutionary economics while re-connecting the field with cultural evolutionary theory. By studying the intersection of cultural and economic evolution, complexity economics, computational economics, and network science, the authors establish a connection between memetics and evolutionary economics at different levels of investigation. The book first demonstrates how a memetic approach to econom...
Slavery, Freedom and Business Endeavor
This book argues that modern Western civilization is synonymous with business, and you cannot have one without the other—or, at least, not for very long. Without Western civilization, with its emphasis on inquiry, questioning, experimentation, reasoning, freedom of expression, a free press, equality of opportunity before the law—then the innovation and vitality that lies at the heart of Western business success, evaporates. Without business endeavor, all the ideas and inquiry are materially meaningless. The author postulates that only through business opportunity is the wealth created that allows a continuation of our society’s intellectual endeavors. Further, the world of modern busin...
