New business models: the Agents and Inter-Agents in a neuroscientific domain

摘要

Agency has been classically defined as the ability to sense and judge ourselves as thegenerators of an action and of its effects. In interactions, the ability to sense andconsciously recognize that we – me and you – are the ones that are generating an actionand causing its effects has been instead defined inter-agency or joint-agency. Theimplications of having developed good agency-related skills and of being aware of suchprocesses become crucially important when we think at complex situations thatcharacterize the real-life professional domain. Based on the crucial role of relationshipwith other social agents, cooperation and team-work for business and managementactivities, novel business models might benefit from an increased awareness of the waywe and our co-workers plan, behave, make decisions, and manage action outcomes.
