Good Judgment
An instant USA Today bestseller - A Globe and Mail Top 10 Business and Management Book of 2024From an experienced organizational psychologist comes a unique guide to learning how to better read and understand people and make improved, more informed business decisions about them--including choosing the right employees, fostering relationships in the workplace, resolving conflicts more effectively, and optimizing your performance on the job--using the science of personality.Psychologists widely agree that five key traits define our personalities--intellect, emotionality, sociability, drive, and diligence. Unlike emotions, which are transitory in nature, these traits determine our behaviors, including our motivations, social inclinations, reactions to crisis or complexity, patterns of thinking, and more.Organizational psychologist Dr. Richard Davis is an expert in assessing personalities. He has spent decades advising business leaders and evaluating executives from some of the world's biggest companies, including Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Under Armour, Meta, Starbucks, Nike, LVMH, and the NBA. Over the course of his career, he has helped numerous executives make tough, highly consequential hiring calls based on personality. A company's board might want its next CEO to be decisive, focused, and a strong communicator. Investors backing a start-up might want a leader who is not only a visionary but also a team player who doesn't retaliate when given constructive feedback. That's where he comes in. As a result of his life's work, Dr. Davis has developed not only a unique perspective on what human personality is, but an indispensable toolkit for analyzing it, and using the information effectively.In Good Judgment, he brings his expertise to you. Dr. Davis explains what the science of personality is and how it works, and how all of us can use it to improve our working relationships, careers, and lives. Whether you're a novice manager looking to hire your first assistant, a board member in need of the ideal CEO, an angel investor trying to choose between two different startups, or a new parent selecting a pediatrician, understanding the science of personality and how to utilize it is the key to exercising good judgment--at work and in life.

Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is based on the premise of conflicts of interest, influencing management's decision-making process and, at the same time, helping to mitigate possible information asymmetries between managers and other stakeholders interested in the company's results. However, much of the scientific research published measures the governance structure and its performance in large organizations in the corporate market. On the other hand, there are still relatively few studies on sports organizations, so the issue of corporate governance in sports is a gap. There is therefore a need to understand how Corporate Governance mechanisms affect the management and control of sports organizations.

Technology Acceptance, Path Dependence, and the Demand for Robo-Advisory Services
This book explores the effects of the previously ignored factors of path dependence and product features on technology acceptance with a focus on robo-advice. A newly developed model introduces path dependence to technology acceptance research allowing to explain previously unaccountable effects.

Starting a business is one of the most common definitions of entrepreneurship.

Energy efficiency
The aim of this study is to improve the energy efficiency of a rotational moulding production process, optimising the consumption of electricity and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) while maintaining the quality of the products produced. A practical investigation was carried out to monitor and understand the production process, and based on the theoretical framework, actions were proposed so that the objective could be achieved. The actions helped to define the process parameters, emphasising the furnace time, which was identified as the main cause of problems with non-conforming parts. From the results obtained, it was concluded that energy efficiency in a production process does not necessarily require high investment. In addition to the economic factors, the study enabled adjustments to be made to the internal procedures of the company sectors involved in the production process. The figures presented refer to the dollar exchange rate of R$ 3.25.
Knowledge Management
Today's organizations are present in the knowledge era, but the dissemination of the relevance of organizational knowledge management is still incipient.

Paradigms in terms of management methods must be changed, as must the understanding of the assets that generate value for businesses, which have moved from factors linked to capital, labour and technology, to the intangible knowledge of members, which through organizational learning is made explicit and can be used as a competitive advantage and input for organizational innovation. These changes occur gradually, involving the organizational culture and the individuals within it.
