Abstract
Examination of the human mind is a subject of various disciplines that belong to the natural or social sciences, or that straddle the line between them. The most important include biology, psychology, neurology, neuroscience, psychiatry, anthropology and sociology. The interest in exploring the potential links between neuroscience and management as a social science as well as organization studies is constantly growing. This brings a fair amount of attention to mental processes and their role in explaining human behavior and effectiveness. The aim of this chapter is to analyze the application of neuroscience in management.
