Las neurociencias nos abarcan, nos envuelven, nos atraviesan. Profesionales de todas las disciplinas abrevan en sus articulaciones y en sus avances. A pedido de los parcicipantes de los seminarios, posgrados y diplomados que dictamos en el Instituto Braidot de Formación, hemos elaborado una obra accesible, dinámica, con los términos esenciales que necesitan quienes estudian aspectos relacionados con las neurociencias y los aplican en sus empresas, los enseñan o los utilizan para el desarrollo de sus propias capacidades cerebrales. Este diccionario está dirigido también a los interesados en iniciarse en la maravillosa tarea de comprender el funcionamiento del cerebro y cómo se implementan estos conocimientos en disciplinas de avanzada, entre ellas, neuromarketing, neuroeconomía, neuroliderazgo, neuroaprendizaje y neurocapacitación.
Este libro es una imprescindible ayuda para comprender y aplicar un área de las neurociencias y el neuromarketing hasta el presente no explorada. Demuestra que es posible una mayor eficiencia e incremento de las ventas para cualquier organización –PyME o gran empresa- a partir de este nuevo enfoque sobre el comportamiento del individuo y la aplicación de técnicas sencillas de implementar. Con ilustraciones, tablas y ejemplos de la vida empresarial real permiten acceder a una disciplina top en el management mundial que no puede dejarse de lado. Y aunque aquí se habla de empresas, los conocimientos expuestos son útiles para todo vínculo social lo cual maximiza su utilidad para todo aquel que los posea.
Cuando las fórmulas y recetas no funcionan, cuando no encontramos soluciones en las metodologías “aprendidas”, surge el Neuromanagement como el verdadero desafío para crear y conducir organizaciones de avanzada. Aplicar la neurociencia a la gestión empresarial exige que los especialistas en neurociencia piensen acerca del mundo de los negocios y, a su vez, que los hombres de negocios reflexionen acerca del mundo de la neurociencia. Neuromanagement contiene una sólida base interdisciplinaria para aquellos que deseen atravesar ese puente, porque Néstor Braidot ha sido capaz de crear un nuevo campo de estudios y, fundamentalmente, de trazar un camino para que otros puedan continuarlo. Néstor ha realizado un excelente trabajo para simplificar y clarificar, brindando ejemplos concretos y relevantes al mundo de los negocios. Espero que este libro resulte ser la piedra angular tanto para estudiantes como para practicantes de Neuroliderazgo y Neuromarketing David Rock Ph. D Author, global consultant and founder of the NeuroLeadership summit La mayor parte de las técnicas que utilizan las empresas para comprender la conducta de las personas se basan en la reflexión conciente. Sin embargo, la ciencia ha demostrado que la mayoría de las decisiones que tomamos se originan en procesos cerebrales no concientes y que estos pueden ser estudiados mediante neuroimágenes y otros recursos no invasivos, como la evaluación del funcionamiento del sistema nervioso autónomo. Tal como lo hizo en Neuromarketing, neuroeconomía y negocios, en esta obra el Dr. Braidot aborda, en forma amena y precisa, el enorme campo de aplicaciones de las neurociencias en las organizaciones y explica cómo este avance puede optimizar tanto su conducción como el funcionamiento de sus áreas clave.

He tenido la fortuna de probar personalmente y junto a mi equipo de Huntsman en Europa los nuevos conceptos que Néstor Braidot desarrolla en este, su nuevo libro, y creo que estamos frente a una nueva dimensión en cuanto a herramientas para el liderazgo y la conducción de organizaciones, con beneficios tanto en el orden empresarial como personal. Creo que experimentar y vivir este nuevo enfoque aporta una gran claridad y sosiego en el negocio y la toma de decisiones de todos los días, lo que nos lleva al éxito y equilibrio personal. Lo recomiendo muy especialmente. Francis Merinos Director de ventas para España, Francia, Portugal y Benelux. Huntsman Tioxide
·What can be done to ensure universities are well positioned to meet the challenges of the fast moving world of the 21st century? This is the central question addressed by Burton R. Clark in this significant new volume which greatly extends the case studies and concepts presented in his 1998 book, Creating Entrepreneurial Universities. The new volume draws on case studies of fourteen proactive institutions in the UK, Europe, Australia, Latin America, Africa, and the United States that extend analysis into the early years of the twenty-first century. The cumulative international coverage underpins a more fully developed conceptual framework offering insight into ways of initiating and sustaining change in universities. This new conceptual framework shifts attention from transformation to sustainability rooted in a constructed steady state of change and a collegial approach to entrepreneurialism. It contains key elements necessary for universities to adapt successfully to the modern world. Lessons for reform can be drawn directly from both the individual case studies and the general framework. Overall the book offers a new form of university organization that is more self-reliant and manages to combine change with continuity, traditional academic values with new managerial values. Essential reading for university administrators, faculty members, students and researchers analysing higher education, and educational policymakers worldwide, this book advocates a highly proactive approach to university change and specifies a new basis for university self- reliance. Burton R. Clark is Allan M. Cartter Professor Emeritus of Higher Education and Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. During his career, he has taught at five leading US universities: Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Yale and UCLA. He has published widely on the nature of university organization and the realistic possibilties of reform, linking research for understanding with research for use.
This text balances brevity and clarity in a condensed introduction to microbiology. It contains a manageable amount of detail and yet covers the full range and diversity of the microbial world.
The book is organized around four sections. The first section is an introduction to the problem of defining the scope and foundations of the development of moral personality and social engagement, in particular, the development of civic and ethical attitudes and prosocial behavior. The second section presents a comparative analysis of education policies in Mexico, Chile and Colombia, in particular the way the curricula of civic and citizenship education is designed and implemented. The section also describes and analyzes the way this subject is taught in the classrooms of the primary, secondary and high school levels in the three countries. The third section includes the results of research projects in Civics and Citizenship Education conducted with different theoretical and methodological models of analysis. This last section includes some of the best practices of Civic Education that have been developed in Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
Getting involved' in society means becoming a human person by doing something for others and thus being connected to mankind and society. Youngsters who get involved, give meaning to life and develop a feeling of agency.
This book documents and disseminates experiences from a wide range of universities, across the five continents, which showcase how the principles of sustainable development may be incorporated as part of university programmes, and present transformatory projects and programmes, showing how sustainability can be implemented across disciplines. Sustainability in a higher education context is a fast growing field. Thousands of universities across the world have signed declarations or have committed themselves to integrate the principles of sustainable development in their activities: teaching, research and extension, and many more will follow.
The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race. Is this the outcome of divine planning or simply of the laws of physics? Ancient Greeks and Romans famously disagreed on whether the cosmos was the product of design or accident. In this book, David Sedley examines this question and illuminates new historical perspectives on the pantheon of thinkers who laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Versions of what we call the "creationist" option were widely favored by the major thinkers of classical antiquity, including Plato, whose ideas on the subject prepared the ground for Aristotle's celebrated teleology. But Aristotle aligned himself with the anti-creationist lobby, whose most militant members—the atomists—sought to show how a world just like ours would form inevitably by sheer accident, given only the infinity of space and matter. This stimulating study explores seven major thinkers and philosophical movements enmeshed in the debate: Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Socrates, Plato, the atomists, Aristotle, and the Stoics.
In recent years, the study of formal semantics and formal pragmatics has grown tremendously, showing that core aspects of language meaning can be explained by a few principles. These principles are grounded in the logic that is behind - and tightly intertwined with - the grammar of human language. In this book, some of the most prominent figures in linguistics, including Noam Chomsky and Barbara H. Partee, offer new insights into the nature of linguistic meaning and pave the way for the further development of formal semantics and formal pragmatics. Each chapter investigates various dimensions in which the logical nature of human language manifests itself within a language and/or across languages. Phenomena like bare plurals, free choice items, scalar implicatures, intervention effects, and logical operators are investigated in depth and at times cross-linguistically and/or experimentally. This volume will be of interest to scholars working within the fields of semantics, pragmatics, language acquisition and psycholinguistics.
