Key words:

Summary
The article introduces in this newly appeared area by analyzing current literature in order to take the picture of current situation and to analyze the possible effects to the management sciences. Literature review has been made, from some classical economic theories and models to the new, full of perspectives spectrum of neuroscience, brain functioning and, its infinite potential, that opened new horizons, uncovered resources and tools to face the realities of the new business world.
Among different techniques and methods used in neuroscience, especially hyperscanning is a recent paradigm which consists in the simultaneous recording of the cerebral activity of two or more subjects involved in interactive tasks. This method allows exploring interpersonal brain mechanisms generated by the social interactions which neuromanagement is interested in. In many scientific studies, in reference to human brain functioning efficiency, attempts were made to find an answer to the question of whether it is better to cooperate or compete. Therefore, as an example illustrating of using hyperscanning paradigm in the frame o neuromanagement research, the cooperation and competition as crucial social interactions which alter the brain mechanisms of the interacting subjects, is described.
