Hello and welcome to my new mini-series on Strategic Management!

Today, I have an introductory episode where I focus on two types of #thinking - a low level of #construal (#concrete) and a high level of construal (#abstract) thinking. In #strategicmanagement, you mostly need very abstract thinking as your decisions have a time horizon of 3 to 5 years! This is one of the reasons why some students are very good at #strategic management - they can easily switch to a high level of abstraction and think forward.

As promised in the episode, I provide you with a map that I used last year in my class: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365712524_Strategic_Management_Treasure_Map

To draw this map, I used the free (basic) account of #Inkarnate (https://inkarnate.com/). You can try it out, if you want.

Welcome, dear listeners,

today, I share the next episode of my #management #research #podcast. In this episode, I address one of your suggestions regarding the current topic - #psychological #games by Eric #Berne. In his suggestion, Mr @Despotovic proposed to treat three ego states as three types of identity (i.e., applying the #identitytheory). Although there are some issues with the compatibility of this view:

a. #identity types can be combined more easily

b. parent role integrated both the #roleidentity (parent) and #socialgroup belonging (parents talking to each other)

c. the theory by Berne focuses on communication only while identity theory has a broader scope

still the suggestion is VERY good and may indicate an interesting avenue for future research and maybe even #reconciliation of these theories.

Enjoy, comment, share, and send me your ideas!

Hello and welcome to my podcast, dear friends and guests,

Today, I continue with our mini-series on #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne. In this #management #research #podcast episode, I briefly explain how to avoid psychological games, especially if there was an "official call" - the #game has been announced in front of a #team and you cannot individually avoid playing. 

I wish you all the best in your communication! Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas and let me know what you want to listen to in the next episodes!

Enjoy, share, subscribe, and comment - it does matter!

PS. I apologise for the 1-week-delay - I had a stressful week and weekend and could not upload the new episode.

Hello and welcome dear friends

In this episode, we continue talking about #psychological #games as suggested by Eric #Berne. When analysing how people interact with each other, Eric Berne discovered that some games can be positive for both parties. In this episode, I provide you with an example of such a #game. Moreover, I briefly discuss whether one should engage in playing both #positive and #negative games. 

Enjoy, share, comment, and subscribe - it does matter, at least to me personally.

Welcome, dear listeners, to the next episode of my #management #research #podcast!

Today, I present you another #psychological #game suggested by Eric #Berne in his book "Games People Play" - #NIGYSOB. This is an interesting game as I observe it in several #relationships in #business and #family. More about the game in this #episode.

Enjoy, #comment, #share, and #subscribe - how else can I know that you are interested?! ;)

Hello dear listeners!

Today, I give you an #example of a #psychological #game called "Kick Me" in the book of Eric Berne. This game is about #victim #behaviour. It also explains why the #victim - #aggressor #relationships are relatively stable and even tend to get entrenched in people's behaviour and even become a lifestyle. If you know "victims" - those to whom something constantly happens and who say "Why is it always happening to me?!", you might be interested in this episode.

Good luck and don't forget to share this episode with people you value. Feel free to subscribe and comment to share your ideas and give me inspiration for the next episodes!

Welcome to the next episode in my mini-series dedicated to #psychological #games as suggested by worldwide known #psychoanalyst Eric #Berne. In this episode, I briefly explain game dynamics and provide an example of a (as to my experience) trendy psychological game played in the office. This game, as well as many other games, leads to the emotional exhaustion of one of the parties participating in this game, unfortunately. 

Listen to this episode to avoid this #trap and to understand in which situations your conversation is not a true conversation but just a collection of #psychological moves aiming at #suppression or evoking #anger.

Hello, dear listeners!

I am happy to post the next episode in my mini-series on #psychologicalgames as suggested by Eric #Berne. In this #episode, we talk about the #congruent modes of relationships - those that do not cause conflicts. At the end, we also shortly address the two types of #incongruent #relationships - those that usually lead to #conflicts.

Feel free to share your observations in the comments section - I am eager to know whether the suggestions by Eric Berne hold for your observations. 

Good luck and don't forget to subscribe, share, and comment - it does matter!

Hello and welcome to my next episode in the mini-series dedicated to #psychological #games as postulated by Eric #Berne!

In this episode, I discuss the key element in this #theory - three #ego states. Berne argues that in any conversation it is not only person A is talking to person B but at a meta-level one of the ego states of person A communicates with the ego state of person B. Berne suggests three #egos - #Child-I, #Parent-I, and #Adult-I. Consequently, no matter what is being said, the #conversation can run between two children, two parents, two adults, or a parent and a child. 

This element is crucial to understanding why we sometimes end up with #conflicts or how #psychilogocialgames come to life. About these topics, I will talk in the next episode of my #podcast.
