Executive Instinct : Managing the Human Animal in the Information Age ReviewThere has been much discussion of late concerning the relative importance of heredity and evolutionary forces in the nature of human interaction. Fields including evolutionary biology, psychology, and anthropology have expanded rapidly as researchers have come to show the relative importance of inborn characteristics on behavior. However, few researchers have taken the important and bold steps to move this rather intellectualized discussion into a more practical venue such as the work organization -- until now.
Nicholson's book represents one of the first truly useful attempts at bringing abstract ideas such as evolution into the world of work. Although we have long suspected that our base impulses and motives were tied to ancestral experience, few have been willing to make these connections explicit and potentially open themselves up to the criticisms of social contextualists. It is in this spirit that I believe Nicholson's book has much to tell us about how we behave in the work place. This book clearly breaks from the strong situationalism espoused by current organization theory represented in work by Weick, Daft, Burt, or Donaldson. This is perhaps its greatest contribution in as much as it forces us to re-examine our existing ideas concerning the undercurrent of human action.
An additional point concerning this book is its utility for a managerial audience since it provides numerous useful examples of how our past creeps into the present of our actions. Although a number of these examples will provoke debate and disagreement, they are well constructed and logical with a firm footing in the scholarly literature.
In closing, I would recommend that anyone wishing to understand an alternative new of work behavior put this book on their list of readings.Executive Instinct : Managing the Human Animal in the Information Age Overview
