Organizational Behaviour: People, Process, Work and Human

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perkins, Stephen / Arvinen-Muondo, Raisa, PUBLISHER: Kogan Page, With special focus on intercultural and cross-cultural perspectives, this collection seeks to bridge the gap between organizational behavior and HRM which are often treated separately. Interest in this approach is growing. Data compiled by the Society of Human Resource Management currently lists 190 Masters and Doctoral programs in Organizational Behavior/ Human Resources OBHR] worldwide. Through a critical analysis of existing literature, case studies and personal experiences, contributors examine the role of corporate governance in shaping the scope of managerial choices within organizations and the ethical dimensions of organizational behavior and global employment standards.

Evolutionary Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schubert, Glendon A., JR., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, This synthesis of research into the behavior of humans and other social animals ranges horizontally from a congruence of the perspectives of the life sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences and longitudinally from that of the most recent 60 million years, but emphasizing the last 12 thousand years. From a political science perspective, these essays focus on both individual and small-group political behavior. Schubert's work draws extensively on contemporary evolutionary theory, biosocial and psychobiological theory, ethology and primatology, behavioral ecology, experimental work in animal behavior, neurobiology, human development, and the philosophy of both life and social sciences. Introducing and concluding the book are essays that discuss the implications of biology and the life sciences for the study of political science. The others center on five topics: political ethology (naturalistic study of human behavior as animal behavior); political evolution; evolutionary theory; evolutionary development (ecological, epigenetic, and ontogenetic); and the evolution of human thinking.

Coral Reef Feeders

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bearanger, Marie / Ethan, Eric And Marie Bearanger / Ethan, Eric, PUBLISHER: Gareth Stevens Publishing, No place on Earth can match a coral reef, close up, for the brilliant and abundant wildlife that lives there. Colors of the Sea presents all the mesmerizing beauty of this ancient ecosystem in dramatic full-page photographs and accurate, informative text. In this series you'll encounter the marine behavior that fascinates divers: the symbiotic relationships of cleaning species and predators many times their size; the camouflage tactics of hunters from the lethargic scorpion fish to the nimble hawk fishes; the startling and colorful sea slugs; and much, much more. This rare and exciting look into the world of coral reefs will fascinate and inform every reader. Coral reefs are made out of very hard limestone deposits. It is surprising that so many fish and other kinds of sea life have adapted to feed on the tiny polyps that both produce and are protected by the reefs. Some fish can actually grind coral reefs to sand. Other animals scrape along the reef's surface, pulling polyps from the coral pockets. These and many other unusual feeding strategies are presented in this fascinating book.

Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dorigo, Marco / Colombetti, Marco, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, foreword by Lashon Booker To program an autonomous robot to act reliably in a dynamic environment is a complex task. The dynamics of the environment are unpredictable, and the robots' sensors provide noisy input. A learning autonomous robot, one that can acquire knowledge through interaction with its environment and then adapt its behavior, greatly simplifies the designer's work. A learning robot need not be given all of the details of its environment, and its sensors and actuators need not be finely tuned. "Robot Shaping" is about designing and building learning autonomous robots. The term "shaping" comes from experimental psychology, where it describes the incremental training of animals. The authors propose a new engineering discipline, "behavior engineering," to provide the methodologies and tools for creating autonomous robots. Their techniques are based on classifier systems, a reinforcement learning architecture originated by John Holland, to which they have added several new ideas, such as "mutespec," classifier system "energy," and dynamic population size. In the book they present Behavior Analysis and Training (BAT) as an example of a behavior engineering methodology.

Behavior in Organizations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shani, Abraham B. / Lau, James / Shani Abraham, (Rami), PUBLISHER: Irwin/McGraw-Hill, Behavior in Organizations, 8/e, by Shani and Lau, is a paperback text that takes a hands-on, experiential approach to organization behavior. The majority of the exercises, role-playing simulations, and cases were developed in and for management training workshops. The cases themselves represent different industries and organizations around the globe with diverse size, product, service, and cultures. Instructors appreciate the multiple interactive teaching methods for each teaching module. Experiential methods provide a powerful stimulus for learning, growth, and change by helping participants focus on their own behaviors and reactions as data. The text begins with structured, less personal exercises that are readily recognized as relevant to human effectiveness in organizational settings. Personal growth and self-understanding activities are introduced later in the text, after students have had enough experience to become more comfortable and ready for them.

Population Production and Regulation in the Sea

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cushing, David / Cushing, D. H., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The self-regulation of fish populations and why some fish stocks flourish and then die away are questions that have fascinated fisheries scientists for decades. In this account, David Cushing shows how the fate of fish larvae, which live close to the centers of production in the sea, has a crucial effect on population regulation. He shows how the timing and development of tidal fronts in particular regions have profound implications for fish and plankton production, which in turn affects whether or not enough of the fish larvae live to adulthood. One of the most interesting points made by the author is how vulnerable fish populations are to climate change, and it is only by understanding these processes that we can hope to recognize the implications of global climate change on marine populations. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in marine ecology and fisheries biology.

Thought Without Language

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Weiskrantz, L. / Weiskrantz, Lawrence, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Does thought depend crucially on language, as some philosophers maintain, or can abstract reasoning and other faculties exist in the absence of language? This voume, based on a Fyssen Foundation symposium held in Versailles in April , addresses this crucial question in a new way, bringing together experts on non-verbal thinking in adults, in pre-linguistic infants, and in animals. The nineteen chapters, discussion and editorial comment represent an impressive body of material, shedding new light on many aspects of the problem. Topics covered include the role of the non-verbal right cerebral hemisphere in humans; the investigation of non-verbal aspects of various categories of cognition (such as abstract reasoning, spatial awareness, and pattern recognition); evidence for cognition without concious awareness; and neurological and developmental evidence. The concluding chapter is a personal account by a gifted but dyslexic mathematician of the nature of his handicap and the non-vebal reasoning that he has developed to cope with this. various
