Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major challenges for modern organizations is the management of individual and collective knowledge, which is at the root of specific practices designed to optimize knowledge acquisition, maintenance and application. There are, however, still a disproportionately low number of studies focused on the structure and nature of knowledge. This book tackles the subject of daily knowledge: the knowledge related to everyday tasks. How does this knowledge present itself in the mind? How do we acquire and preserve it? To answer these questions, the authors explore a number of techniques which help to keep track of information produced in collaborative activity and extract knowledge by aggregating these traces.

Download or read book Brain Computer Interfaces 1 written by Maureen Clerc and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain–computer interfaces (BCI) are devices which measure brain activity and translate it into messages or commands, thereby opening up many investigation and application possibilities. This book provides keys for understanding and designing these multi-disciplinary interfaces, which require many fields of expertise such as neuroscience, statistics, informatics and psychology. This first volume, Methods and Perspectives, presents all the basic knowledge underlying the working principles of BCI. It opens with the anatomical and physiological organization of the brain, followed by the brain activity involved in BCI, and following with information extraction, which involves signal processing and machine learning methods. BCI usage is then described, from the angle of human learning and human-machine interfaces. The basic notions developed in this reference book are intended to be accessible to all readers interested in BCI, whatever their background. More advanced material is also offered, for readers who want to expand their knowledge in disciplinary fields underlying BCI. This first volume will be followed by a second volume, entitled Technology and Applications.

Download or read book Organizational Culture and Climate New Perspectives and Challenges written by Thais Gonzalez Torres and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the framework of organizational behavior and organizational psychology, organizational climate and culture conceptualize how employees experience their work settings. Thus, organizational climate refers to the shared perceptions and meaning attributed to policies, practices, and procedures experienced by employees and the behaviors they observe that are rewarded, supported, and expected. On the other hand, organizational culture may be defined as the collection of values, expectations, and practices that guide and inform the actions of all team members. Climate offers an approach to the tangibles on which managers can focus to generate the behaviors they require for effectiveness, and culture offers the intangibles that likely accrue to produce the deeper psychology of people in a setting. These two concepts complement each other and can be mutually useful in practice.
