Managers are confronted with many difficult demands which are still unknown to them. Gaining a better knowledge for unconscious ways of human behaviour and their motivations is very important. This book introduces research work to readers by selected contributions from psychoanalytically-oriented management theorists and clinicians. The authors deal with different topics such as leadership, corporate culture, family businesses, organizational stress, career dynamics and so on. All of them try to win an understanding and insight into conscious, unconscious, rational and irrational behaviour. The purpose of this book is fulfilled if this knowledge can be practised in order to achieve improvements for the co-operation between people in general.
