Description
It is impossible to understand businesses without first understanding people. As such, the initial chapters of this book focus on understanding people and their motives and motivations.
But it is not enough to understand people. We must also understand the logic that drives all organizations.
Following the proposals of Pérez López, this work presents a highly realistic and new vision that bolsters efficacy by placing emphasis on the company’s people: whether employees, clients, suppliers, managers, stakeholders, stockholders, etc. First and foremost, these individuals are people. And organizations, regardless of their type, must exist to serve people rather than create additional problems.
We need to get past the typical visions that reduce everything to two dimensions –formal and informal; hard and soft; extrinsic or intrinsic motives; money and culture; power and authority, profit and non-profit; and public and private, etc.–. This book enriches decision-marking criteria in a way that is very useful to anyone who holds a top position in any type of organization.
Testimony:
«Now a classic […] this book educates the reader about the variables that must be taken into account to ensure a good synthesis of rational thought and emotions. In a world as tumultuous as today’s, with its financial, economic, family and social crises …due to a major crisis of values, this book is our salvation […] Enjoy! ».

«This book, affectation and false compliments aside, is very interesting if not fascinating... My advice is that you read the book and enjoy its content».
Alberto Benavides de la Quintana. Founder of the Grupo Buenaventura, Peru
«Enriched by an anthropological and humanistic base, this work constitutes a well-developed and useful pedagogical tool for managers. Kudos to its authors and PAD, where both are currently on staff».
Raúl Diniz, General Director, AESE – Escola de Direcção e Negócios, Lisbon, Portugal
«This book does not stop at good intentions nor does it limit itself to repeating conventional formulas. The authors have focused on analyzing the essential aspects of management actions and demonstrating their place in people’s lives and in meeting their needs, which go beyond the economic and include intellectual and emotional concerns.
The authors do not limit themselves to providing a theoretical basis for decision making and the justification of results. As such, this book should be of interest to all executives. Within its pages, decision makers find a vision which shows that the company’s lifeblood is anchored in knowledge transmission; the nexus of common motivations; and the complementarity of responsibilities. As such, I believe this book should be read and re-read».

«This book constitutes a major contribution to the business sector and humanity as a whole».
