Editorial Review:

Psychology in Economics and Business is the first textbook in economic psychology that is targeted at students of economics and business administration. It describes the experiments and explains the psychological background associated with the topics.
The book presents the state of the art in behavioral economics and economic psychology and their applications to economics and business.

The first part organizes economic psychological themes within a common paradigm. The applications belong to a great variety of fields in economic psychology, including entrepreneurial behavior, perceptions of price, risk, inflation and economic activities, economic socialization, demand theory, attitudes and brand images, decision making and heuristics, economic expectations, well-being, poverty and consumer satisfaction.

The second part deals with information processing in a wider sense. The psychological principles of consistency and attribution are dealt with and recent developments in rationality and choice under uncertainty are considered. A chapter on game theory focuses on psychological factors in several social dilemmas. Strategies and tactics in human interaction are dealt with in a chapter on negotiation behavior.

The chapter on economic psychological methods deals with the acquisition of knowledge from the observation of economic behavior in reality and in experimental settings.

so-so 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This book is not what I expected--I had expected an approach from a theoretical point of view. Instead, this book offers a lot of "general" techniques/advices that I did not find particularly helpful. Furthermore, this book concentrates on scenarios in a work setting, rather than daily encounters, and perhaps that is also another source of disappointment. I felt a lot of advices are "common sense", but then I have some exposure to this kind of books. I would say if you have no working experience (hence have never confronted situations presented in the book), you may consider this book as a starter. If you are looking for something more, try some other book.

attitude is everything! 5 out of 5 stars.

Dealing with a mulitude of personalities, politics and conflicts can be a daunting task on top of just trying to fullfill the requirements of a job. This book breaks down the causes of on-the-job conflict to manageable simplicity by categorizing co-workers and managers into 4 motivational types - the lone ranger, the sharpshooter, the professor and cheerleader; as well as defining their basic approaches to their work. The author then addresses various conflict resolution scenerios in which you may find yourself with these different types of people. I found this to be a very useful book based on a simple premise: Attitude is everything when you want to do any job successfully, whether you are part of a team or a manager. Some scenerios were also applicable to parenting school-aged children and helping them to improve academically. I liked the lean & careful organization of this book - the fundamental message is very straightforward stuff without a lot of fluff! Also recommend Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

Editorial Review:

Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval have moved to the top of the advertising industry by following a simple but powerful philosophy: it pays to be nice. Where so many companies encourage a dog eat dog mentality, the Kaplan Thaler Group has succeeded through chocolate and flowers. In The Power of Nice, through their own experiences and the stories of other people and businesses, they demonstrate why, contrary to conventional wisdom, nice people finish first. Turning the well-known adage of "Nice Guys Finish Last" on its ear, The Power of Nice shows that "nice" companies have lower employee turnover, lower recruitment costs, and higher productivity. Nice people live longer, are healthier, and make more money. In today's interconnected world, companies and people with a reputation for cooperation and fair play forge the kind of relationships that lead to bigger and better opportunities, both in business and in life. Kaplan Thaler and Koval illustrate the surprising power of nice with an array of real-life examples from the business arena as well as from their personal lives. Most important, they present a plan of action covering everything from creating a positive impression to sweetening the pot to turning enemies into allies. Filled with inspiration and suggestions on how to supercharge your career and expand your reach in the workplace, The Power of Nice will transform how you live and work.

Editorial Review:

In what way are we called to live amidst our busy world? It is so easy, especially in the work place, to get caught up in the busyness of the day and miss the meaning, lessons and joy in it. The majority of adults spend more waking hours at work than we do in their own homes. The quality of the work place is forming the quality of our homes and our lives. If the work place is not healthy, what are we saying about the health of this society? The purpose of the Place Within Series is to invite brief reflections that connect us to the heart, the soul, the place within. It is the place of peace, silence, wisdom, love, compassion and the source of energy and nourishment. It is a place of hope, always with us, regardless of the external chaos or the extremes that surround us each day at work. When we go within, we are able to reach out and return to the world our strengths and hopes that reflect the unseen capacity of ourselves and an evolving humanity. A unique CD is now available to enhance the reflections that connect one to "The Place Within." It features the beautiful and inspirational voice of Diane Penning.

The Way of Respect in the Work Place (Wesorick, 1998) is the first in the Place Within Series. It will deepen your insights and ignite your passion to co-create healthy relationships at your work. It will provide a stimulating perspective on the need for, the process, and the outcomes of, holding each person in the work place in respect.

This updated guide offers a fresh, interactive approach to doing business in Japan by presenting practical tips in an easy-to-read format.
