This course will introduce you to the concepts and ideas in the area of social psychology. Social Psychology aims to discover the different ways in which people interact with other individuals, groups, and the larger society as a whole, as well as why people act in certain ways. As with an anthropology or sociology course, social psychology looks at the inner workings of groups of people. However, it differs from these courses in terms of its focus; social psychology focuses primarily on the single individual’s psychology as part of the group or society, rather than the culture or group interaction (though both of these areas have some relevance in social psychology). This may seem to be quite a broad subject area and it is. Humans are social creatures (in other words, they have evolved to be able to interact and communicate at high levels with individuals of their own species) and almost invariably exist in a social context (even a situation in which society is absent could be studied by social psychologi…
Ce cours s’éloigne de l’approche classique des négociations et tente de rendre compte des phénomènes psychologiques à la base du comportement. L’approche poursuivie sera descriptive plutôt que prescriptive. Contrairement aux théoriciens du jeu qui « examinent ce que de super-hommes, ultra-intelligents et impeccablement rationnels devraient faire dans les situations compétitives », nous explorerons la façon dont « des êtres imparfaits se comportent dans la réalité » (Raïffa, 1982, p. 21). Ainsi, les êtres humains poursuivent des motivations, ont des attentes, des préjugés, des biais et des émotions. Ils analysent l’information qui leur est soumise et prennent des décisions à travers le spectre de leurs propres limites cognitives. Leurs actions fluctuent en fonction de la situation ou de leur personnalité. Toutes ces variables influencent non seulement le comportement des personnes mais, plus fondamentalement, elles modifient la dynamique même de résolution des divergences. Ce cours mettra en évidence ces variables multiples et offrira aux étudiants une compréhension fine et détaillée des processus psychologiques qui entrent en jeu avant, pendant et après toute négociation.

La complejidad de los problemas emanados de una rápida globalización de la economÃa asà como los grandes avances en la tecnologÃa de la información (TI) han acelerado la aparición de sucesivas crisis económicas y sociales en las que tanto gobiernos de muchos paÃses como empresas encuentran dificultades para adaptarse a esta nueva situación y cambiar con agilidad sus modelos de gobierno y gestión.
Por otro lado la agresión al medio ambiente y el cambio climático y la necesidad de atender los requerimientos de agentes económicos y sociales reclaman su derecho a desempeñar el rol que les corresponde. Emergen tendencias como la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa, vinculada a procesos de reporte estandarizado, como el que marca Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) y a mejoras en los esquemas de Gobernanza Corporativa, necesarias para armonizar los distintos ecosistemas tanto sociales como empresariales y ambientales garantizando la legÃtima participación de todas las partes interesadas y equiparando la información generada a la financiera a la hora de tomar decisiones.
En este escenario, los activos utilizados tanto por gobiernos como empresas para desarrollar deben ser administrados de manera eficaz y eficiente para incrementar el valor de las organizaciones de manera incremental y continua garantizando principalmente la sostenibilidad económico financiera de esas organizaciones. Dentro de esos activos, la información y la TI adquieren valor importantÃsimo para facilitar las necesidades de transformación de las organizaciones y, especialmente gobernar y gestionar el uso adecuado de la TI tal como señala la norma ISO/IECE 38500.
En cualquier caso, la implantación de éstas tecnologÃas requiere un cambio profundo en la cultura de las organizaciones, públicas y privadas y la adopción de principios y polÃticas internas que impidan posibles perjuicios a todas las partes interesadas en el éxito de dichas organizaciones.
La aplicación de las distintas normas mencionadas asà como renovación del concepto de Gobernanza Corporativa aplicada a los distintos activos y especialmente a la TI (dirección y control en el uso y gestión de los mismos) es uno de los grandes retos a los que se enfrenta hoy el mundo económico financiero asà como la generación de conocimiento e inteligencia para resolver los graves problemas de nuestros dÃas y en el futuro. Esta nueva forma de trabajar hará que las empresas sean más responsables, comprometidas, humanas, productivas, y más eficaces y eficientes en el liderazgo, formación y aptitud personal asà como un uso adecuado de la TI por parte de la organización.
