Tim Harford shows that if you want to be creative and resilient, you need a little more disorder in your world." -Adam Grant, New York Times -bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take "Engrossing." - New York Times From the award-winning columnist and author of the national bestseller  The Undercover Economist comes a provocative big idea book about the genuine benefits of being messy: at home, at work, in the classroom, and beyond. Look out for Tim's next book,   The Data Detective . Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it's important, why we resist it, and why we should embrace it instead. Using research from neuroscience, psychology, social science, as well as captivating examples of real people doing extraordinary things, Tim Harford explains that the human qualities we value - creativity, responsiveness, resilience - are integral to the disorder, confusion, and disarray that produce them. From the music studio of Brian Eno to the Lincoln Memorial with Martin Luther King, Jr., from the board room to the classroom, messiness lies at the core of how we innovate, how we achieve, how we reach each other - in short, how we succeed. In Messy , you'll learn about the unexpected connections between creativity and mess; understand why unexpected changes of plans, unfamiliar people, and unforeseen events can help generate new ideas and opportunities as they make you anxious and angry; and come to appreciate that the human inclination for tidiness - in our personal and professional lives, online, even in children's play - can mask deep and debilitating fragility that keep us from innovation. Stimulating and readable as it points exciting ways forward, Messy is an insightful exploration of the real advantages of mess in our lives. 701 $aHarford$b Tim$0921885 701 $aSmith$b Nicholas Guy$0223654 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910136025903321 996 $aMessy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives$94178258 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03874nam 22007815 450 001 9910427856503321 005 20251010082416.0 010 $a9783030577414 010 $a3030577414 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-57741-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000011631428 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6420871 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-57741-4 035 $a(PPN)252517016 035 $a(Perlego)3482118 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC29092821 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011631428 100 $a20201204d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFundamental Theories of Business Communication $eLaying a Foundation for the Field /$fby Milton Mayfield, Jacqueline Mayfield, Robyn Walker 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 266 pages) $cillustrations 225 1 $aNew Perspectives in Organizational Communication,$x2730-5341 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a9783030577407 311 08$a3030577406 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

Many business communication studies lack a strong theoretical grounding?a deficit that creates difficulties for researching business communication phenomena and building upon previous studies. The book addresses this issue by cataloging and briefly describing the major business communication theories, as well as giving a typology of these theories to better integrate them. This book provides value to business communication researchers (who can use it to build upon and develop their work), experts in practice (who can apply it to improve business communications), and academics (who can use it to enhance their instructional designs). It also offers insights into new developments on the business communication theory horizon. 410 0$aNew Perspectives in Organizational Communication,$x2730-5341 606 $aPersonnel management 606 $aCommunication 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aManagement 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aHuman Resource Management 606 $aMedia and Communication 606 $aOrganization 606 $aManagement 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 615 0$aPersonnel management. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 14$aHuman Resource Management. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aOrganization. 615 24$aManagement. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 676 $a658.45 700 $aMayfield$b Milton$0903163 702 $aMayfield$b Jacqueline R. 702 $aWalker$b Robyn 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427856503321 996 $aFundamental theories of business communication$92018957 997 $aUNINA
