Conteúdos

Without people, there can't be business. Sociology is the study of relationships between people. People in business need to know sociology. This book is an easy introduction. Psychology is about the mind and behaviour. Social science is about the social and cultural aspects of human behaviour. It includes psychology, economics, politics management and sociology. The glue that holds all social sciences is sociology with its emphasis on “social”. Without a basic understanding of sociology, people in business can make the world a worse place without realising there are alternatives.
