The new "Practical guide to the human factor" shows how managers can protect themselves and their employees from making such wrong decisions. The reference book describes the basic features of human (mis)behavior and explains how external and internal factors influence our activities. It explains how the brain absorbs and processes information and how stress, exercise, nutrition and sleep affect human performance.
Various exercises offer the opportunity to put the previously presented risk minimization techniques into practice. This combination of theoretical and practical knowledge is intended to sensitize the reader to the "human risk factor". Because only those who know why people make the wrong decisions can better recognize and minimize the pitfalls of future decisions.
