"Scholars from various disciplines have studied humor since antiquity. Yet, over the centuries, these researchers have also struggled to conceptualize a viable, well-accepted notion of humor. Beyond pleasure and amusement, people use humor for a variety of social functions. On the one hand, humor can cause others to like the humorous source more, attract regard, ease conversations, promote expression and the exchange of ideas, introduce new topics of discussion, or smooth interactions. On the other hand, in aggressive forms, humor can halt verbal interactions, modify the usual rules of conversation, communicate critiques, or contribute to the creation of subversive environments.Not All Claps and Cheers: Humor in Business and Society Relationships is an original research anthology that considers different angles from which to address the use of humor by individuals, groups and business actors in their interactions within, around, and across organizationsthat is, at the interfaces of business and society. Accordingly, the research anthology is organized in four sections"Humor, Business and Society," "From Society to Business: Humors Use and Roles in Activist Movements," "From Business to Society: Humors Use and Roles in Marketing, Corporate Communications, and Public Relations," and "Society within Business: Humors Use and Roles in the Workplace and in Organizations." This ground-breaking research anthology draws on material from marketing, communications, human resources and stakeholder theory to throw light on this poorly understood facet of human business behavior."--Provided by publisher.

Humor ist eines der stärksten und effizientesten Führungsinstrumente - so Gerhard Schwarz. Eine originelle, fundierte und aufschlussreiche Lektüre. Neu in der 2., überarbeiteten Auflage sind nützliche Ergänzungen zur Rolle des Humors bei der Konsensfindung in Gruppen und Organisationen sowie zur reinigenden Funktion des Humors in stark emotional aufgeladenen Situationen. Die 1. Auflage war auf der Shortlist für den Deutschen Wirtschaftsbuchpreis 2007. „Kern der Lehre: Mitarbeiter, die viel lachen, sind stressresistenter, selbstbewusster und sehr viel kreativer. Witze können Konfliktsituationen die Schärfe nehmen, Kritik besonders pointiert zusammenfassen, Teams zusammenschweißen.“ Spiegel online „Zu einem in der Praxis gut verwendbaren Werkzeug wird das Buch durch zahlreiche Tipps und Ratschläge, zum Beispiel für den Umgang mit klassischen „Typen“, denen wir im beruflichen Alltag begegnen, seien es Vielredner oder Zuspätkommende, Leistungsverweigerer oder Miesmacher.“ Personalmanager „Gerade bierernste Typen, die meinen, dass ihre Position keine Ironie erlaube, sollten dieses Buch lesen. Denn Humor ist nicht nur etwas für Witzetypen. Es ist ein Handwerk, das jeder erlernen kann.“ Personal-Journal.
