Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concepts of human behavior, with a particular focus on adaptive behavior. The author, a social scientist, introduces a framework for organizing observations of human behavior into a coherent narrative around the themes of goals and resources. The author believes that the primary picture we have of a social group, such as a company or a union, will strongly influence our observations and shape the way we report our findings. In this book, the author posits that social groups form around a set of goals and resources. These goals and resources, along with the participants in the group, their shared values and their interactions, form the âstructure of livingâ upon which adaptive behavior is built. By understanding this structure, and how participants are supported and encouraged to live within it, we can better understand how and why people behave as they do. The book provides a fascinating and insightful framework for understanding the structure and dynamics of human behavior in social groups.
