This text provides teaching material needed for courses with a small -business management or venture-management option, and courses in which students are required to present a business plan or feasibility study as part of a business-management module – BTEC Higher National, DMS, CIM. There is a lecturers’ free supplement included. The two-section structure of the text ensures that students first identify problems in a realistic context and are then directed to the appropriate information on principles and practice to solve them. Section One has scenarios, covering all the main business situations a small business manager is likely to encounter, together with related issues and problems as tasks. An ongoing assignment centres around a business idea chosen by the student. Section Two is an information bank covering the theory and practice of small-business management. It provides a summary, bridging the gap between more theoretical research papers which describe aspects of the small-business environment, and practical guides which prescribe methods of small business management. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.
Delve into the intricate world of memory and behavior with "The Neurobiological Basis of Memory and Behavior," a comprehensive hardcover published by Springer in 1992. Authored by the esteemed Hinrich Rahmann and Mathilde Rahmann, this book offers a fascinating exploration of the biological underpinnings of how we learn, remember, and behave. While the book is technically a textbook suitable for advanced students, its clear prose and insightful observations make it a rewarding read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human brain. This book bridges the gap between complex research papers and practical guides, providing a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical applications. Rahmann and Rahmann meticulously dissect the neurobiological processes involved in memory formation, consolidation, and retrieval. Readers will gain insights into the roles of various brain structures, such as the hippocampus and amygdala, as well as the chemical and electrical signals that orchestrate our cognitive functions. Although initially intended as teaching material, "The Neurobiological Basis of Memory and Behavior" appeals to a broad audience interested in psychology, neuroscience, and self-improvement. Its content provides a foundation for understanding memory improvement techniques and cognitive therapies, enriching your knowledge for further reading and self-study.
