Summary

Dr. Abraham Maslow is one of the most widely-known and renowned experts on human behavior and motivation. He is probably most famous for his perspective on the "hierarchy of needs" a theory of behavior which states that people will strive to fulfill progressively higher levels of need. This book, which is a revision of a previous book entitled Euspychian Management, applies Maslow's seminal concepts of human behavior to today's workplace and marketplace. This book offers new generations of managers insights into Maslow's influential theories which have emerged in current business approaches such as continuous improvement, enlightened management, Theory X, and empowerment.
