(At one time or another, everyone experiences an occult ph...)
At one time or another, everyone experiences an occult phenomenon. It is not a matter of imagination or faith. This book uses scientific knowledge from physics, physiology, psychology and other domains to both analyze and understand occult phenomena. The author's basic position is to accept as real the forebodings and causal occurrences of unknown nature that can be verified in practice.

(In many countries of the world there is a growing feeling...)
In many countries of the world there is a growing feeling of uneasiness about the economic situation and its related social consequences. Every day the newspapers tell us that the recession is over, but we see only that scores of organizations go bankrupt, while others are struggling hard to stay in business; that many people have lost their jobs, but welfare measures are being reduced or abolished altogether. By now we should have become aware that our society is not facing temporary market difficulties, but a much deeper and wider crisis with only one root in worldwide economic developments, while other roots are social and psychological in nature. These factors are intertwined, and therefore the answer to the crisis cannot merely be an economic cost-benefit analysis of organizational management. Sociocultural factors participate in the economic process even at the level of individual organizations, and what happens in them has backlash influences on the entire society. Therefore the problem is not the management of the individual organization, but the macroconception of management, which in the Western world of today separates the economic aspects from the social ones, and the individual organizations from society. Social and Economic Management in the Competitive Society begins by analyzing the management models of today to determine which characteristics yield the best results on the economic and social levels. The second step is to indicate the necessary changes of managerial thinking and acting, in order to boost economic results with reasonable profits while minimizing social costs. Finally, the potential ramifications of such changes are explored.

(This text's forecast scenario of future management is bui...)
This text's forecast scenario of future management is built on research concerning occurrences and people within contemporary organizations, considered in the context of global developments in the post-modern society. The future organization has a clear career policy for managerial growth, and integrates management development within organizational development as special emphasis is put on participation within committees and staff meetings and on active participation of managers in the organization, beyond their functional assignments. This positive scenario is presented in parallel with the caveat findings which indicate the thwarting of mid-level managers; aspirations regarding their career advancement and their desire for a greater say in their organizations. The research shows how this situation endangers large organizations in particular. The study addresses academics working in the field of industrial sociology, organizational management, as well as senior managers and board members in industry, services and public administration.

The author reconstitutes the immigration drama as a process of interdependent events starting in the country of origin and continuing in the host country with the participation of several social actors. Their behavior is motivated not only by the objective events but by their subjective perception and sometimes by unrealistic anticipations. Using a multifaceted psychological and sociological analysis the author reveals the overt and the hidden mechanisms of individual and group behavior in the migration drama. He creates a model in which the contradictory and often apparently illogical behaviors and attitudes of the social actors begin to make sense.

Krau provides an in-depth analysis of the formation and fulfillment of life aspirations. He examines the possibility of planning and predicting careers—a significant instrument for achieving life meaning for people, even under unfavorable economic conditions. Krau asserts that to assist people in fulfilling their aspirations, vocational counseling has to become counseling for self-realization. Drawing upon years of investigations, Edgar Krau provides an in-depth analysis of the formation and fulfillment of life aspirations. In adolescence, life aspirations take shape by imagining a desired end-state. But aspects of this image are often uncoordinated or even contradictory, and very often the person seems unaware of these contradictions. In choosing a career, people attempt to match this image with public perceptions of a specific occupation. But both notions may not correspond to existing realities, and the actual motives behind career choice may deviate from those declared. Utilizing numerous case studies and models drawn from these and other studies, Krau shows the normative characteristics that lead to vocational success, but also those causing failure, maladjustment, and frustration, and he illustrates how career counseling can become successful counseling for self-realization. Krau provides a needed tool for personality and vocational psychologists as well as anyone involved in career development and vocational guidance.
