Gift-giving is an economically significant area of consumer behavior. For we are constantly buy gifts: for Christmas and Mother’s Day, for birth and baptism, for the start of school and exams, for engagements and weddings, for birthdays or as souvenirs. Moreover, gift-giving is a very important psychological phenomenon, based on voluntariness, but also representing a duty and requiring compliance with rules. Thus, gift giving is by no means always associated with joy, but also with stress in the search for a perfect gift and disappointment when gifts fail. The book presents central results of psychological research on gift-giving. These provide answers to the following questions, among others: What ‘secret’ rules of giving and receiving do we follow? What messages do we send with our gifts? How do certain characteristics - such as the amount of the price or empathy - influence satisfaction with a gift? What mistakes should we avoid when giving gifts in romantic relationships? When is a monetary gift appropriate and when is it not? The Author Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. em. Bernd Stauss held the Chair of Service Management at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. .

Wenn Thomas Mann Ihr Kunde wäre Wenn Servicemanager exzellenten Service liefern wollen, dann sollten sie ihr Handeln weniger an abstrakten Zahlenwerten und Modellen orientieren, sondern lieber Thomas Mann lesen. Die in diesem Buch präsentierten Textpassagen aus seinen Novellen und Romanen zeigen, wie präzise er Dienstleistungssituationen erfasst, die von bleibender Aktualität sind. Denn bei allem technischen Wandel hat sich nichts daran geändert, wie Menschen andere Menschen im Servicekontakt erleben und wie sie als Menschen behandelt werden wollen. Thomas Mann beschreibt meisterhaft das Denken, Empfinden und Handeln von Dienstleistungskunden. Daher eignen sich die geschilderten Episoden hervorragend dazu, zentrale Lektionen für heutige Servicemanager abzuleiten. Auf diese Weise führt uns der große deutsche Schriftsteller und Nobelpreisträger vor Augen, was modernes wissenschaftliches und praktisches Dienstleistungsmanagement ausmacht. Der Autor Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. em. Bernd Stauss war Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Dienstleistungsmanagement der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
