A business's overall strategy may be set at board level, but many people throughout the organisation will be involved in deciding that strategy and implementing it - making decisions that are strategic in nature. On these decisions hangs the future of the business: how successful it is, even whether it is successful. Yet business history is full of strategic decisions, both big and small, that were weak, poorly conceived and consequently disastrous.

Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

ネイティブの文化では、どの様にして同僚や上司や部下と上手く付き合っているのでしょうか？　このシリーズでは、職場での挨拶の仕方から会議の進め方まで状況別に具体例を用いてレッスンを進めて行きます。文化の差が大きい日本とアメリカの場合、この差を渡米前に学ぶ事はとても大切です。例えば、ある日本人駐在員は、赴任時に上司が不在の為、職場での紹介が遅れました。周りのアメリカ人達は、「彼は誰？」「どうして挨拶しないの？」などと職場に緊張感が走りました。なぜでしょうか？　それはアメリカでは、目と目が合えば新しく移動して来た社員の方から自己紹介をしていくからです。そうすると相手もこちらの存在を理解し、歓迎してくれます。紹介されるまで黙っている日本人に対し、積極的に自己紹介をするアメリカ人。文化が違うのです。English Vitaminが提供する英会話習得は、常に文化と一体です。アメリカでの実生活では、２０％くらいの言語処理能力と残り８０％は、相手国の文化の理解、つまりアメリカ文化に合わせた適応能力が必要となります。彼らの習慣、信念、価値観、思考回路を学び、それを受け入れなければあなたのアメリカでの生活は、寂しく惨めな思いをすることになるかもしれません。この事実を明確に理解し、渡米すれば、きっと、あなたの精神的な不安を和らげ、充実したアメリカ生活へ溶け込むことができるでしょう。

Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We’re rebelling against technology that’s too complicated, DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte “read me” manuals. The iPod’s clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that’s simple and easy to use, but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do.

The new global organization of political authority has far-reaching consequences. This audiobook untangles this complex world, providing an accessible framework for understanding the contours of global political change.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them.
