British Science Festival - 
Joseph Lister Award Lecture: 'Fact and Fiction about Neuromarketing' by Professor Nick Lee

 

Tuesday 14 September, Aston University, 12 - 1pm 

  

This lecture will take you on a whistle-stop tour of recent findings in the brain sciences, and their link to consumer decisions. Together, we will explode myths about both advertising and the brain, to gain a basic knowledge of how the brain works, and how it relates to our consumption decisions, to enable you to form educated opinions about what is and is not possible in the future.

British Science Festival - 
'Getting on with the boss' by Professor Robin Martin

 

Thursday 16 September, Aston University, 11am - 12 

  

The quality of the relationship between the manager and his/her followers is a major determinant of the experience of work. If the relationship with the manager is good, then followers feel satisfied and work effectively but if the relationship with the manager is bad, then followers are often unhappy and work poorly. This research examines what determines the quality of the relationship we have with our manager, how this relationship develops, how it changes over time, what happens when you have a good or bad relationship with your manager – and how you can improve your relationship with your manager.
