Schlemklumpfs illustrerade poem. Volym 1 (9789198292640)

Schlemklupfs illustrerade poem - en diktbok vars tänkte läsare bör besitta ett uns av (sjuk?) humor för att till fullo finna uppskattning av bokens innehåll. Dikterna fick en viss spridning innan boken ens hade kommit i tryck, via tonsättningar och framföranden i Radio Kronoberg, samt som insändare och högt uppskattade inslag i lokala revyer. Det hela rör sig om 87 sidor burlesk humor och samhällskritik på vers, med en aningen mystisk förkärlek för riktigt gamla människors uppror mot Etablissemang av olika slag. Den är dessutom rikt illustrerad i samma burleska anda som dikterna. Product details Format Paperback Publisher ...

Misbehaving : The Making of Behavioral Economics (039335279X)

Nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans-predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth-and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world. Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether buying a clock radio, selling basketball tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we all succumb to biases and make decisions that deviate from the standards of rationality assumed by economists. In other words, we misbehave. More importantly, our misbehavior has serious consequences. Dismissed at first by economists as an amusing sideshow, the study of human miscalculations and their effects on markets now drives efforts to make better decisions in our lives, our businesses, and...

Comunità di pratica. Apprendimento, significato e identità (9788860300652)

"Ogni organizzazione è una costellazione di 'comunità di pratica'". Con questa idea Wenger getta le fondamenta del pensiero che le organizzazioni dovranno adottare per sopravvivere nel XXI secolo. Comunità di pratica presenta una teoria dell'apprendimento che vede il coinvolgimento nella pratica sociale come il processo fondamentale attraverso cui impariamo e diventiamo quelli che siamo. L'unità primaria di analisi non è né l'individuo né l'istituzione sociale, ma quella "comunità operativa" formata da persone che svolgono delle attività in comune in un certo arco di tempo. Per delineare la dimensione sociale dell'apprendimento, la teoria analizza in modo sistematico l'intersezione tra i problemi di comunità, pratica sociale, significato e identità. Ne emerge un ampio schema di riferimento concettuale per intendere l'apprendimento come processo partecipato e condiviso. Il volume di Etienne Wenger costituisce una lettura fo...
