Social psychology and management

About this book

Social Psychology and Management sets out a dialogue between social psychology on the one hand and management on the other, showing how social psychology can benefit from taking greater account of the important and quite specific social contexts in which management is involved. The book discusses the topics of motivation, teamwork and leadership, groups and technology, and networked organizations and careers - using illustrative examples taken from events surrounding the Maxwell Corporation, the Barings Bank collapse and the Challenger disaster.
