Cultivating Communities of Practice

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Today`s marketplace is fueled by knowledge. Yet organizing systematically to leverage knowledge remains a challenge. Leading companies have discovered that technology is not enough, and that cultivating communities of practice is the keystone of an effective knowledge strategy. Communities of practice come together around common interests and expertise- whether they consist of first-line managers or customer service representatives, neurosurgeons or software programmers, city managers or home-improvement amateurs. They create, share, and apply knowledge within and across the boundaries of teams, business units, and even entire companies-providing a concrete path toward creating a true knowledge organization. In Cultivating Communities ofPractice , Etienne Wenger, Richard McDermott, and William M. Snyder argue that while communities form naturally, organizations need to become more proactive and systematic about developing and integrating them into their strategy…. [detailed...]

Cultivating Success in Uganda: Kigezi Farmers and Colonial Policies

2007 y.
Publisher: Ohio University Press
Description: Kigezi, a district in southwestern Uganda, is exceptional in many ways. In contrast to many other parts of the colonial world, this district did not adopt cash crops. Soil conservation practices were successfully adopted, and the region maintained a remarkably developed and individualized land market from the early colonial period. Grace Carswell presents a comprehensive study of livelihoods in Kigezi. Following the lead of groundbreaking studies by Tiffen, Fairhead, and Leach, her case study confirms recent research suggesting that the usual assumptions about population pressure, environment, and long-term land-use change need to be questioned. Her findings are particularly exciting for all those involved in the ongoing key debates in natural resource management, development studies, and environmental history. [detailed...]

Cultural Diversity And International Economic Integration: The Global Governance Of The Audio-visual Sector

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book explores the relationship between cultural diversity and international economic integration and its implications for global governance of the audio-visual sector. The national audio-visual policies of a number of countries - including Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, India and the UK - are compared in order to assess their potential impacts and restrictive effects on international trade and investment. The variety of approaches used by the contributors reflects the wide differences among national audio-visual systems and offers a rich perspective on how they can be analyzed. The lessons drawn from these national case studies are placed in context by up-to-date original analysis of the constraints arising from the WTO system. Scholars and professionals in the audio-visual sector and in international trade negotiations would be interested in the issues discussed in the book, given their importance in shaping the institutional environment of cultural and economic… [detailed...]

Cultural Diversity and Employee Ownership

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Cultural diversity has become one of the most important and difficult issues for a growing number of companies with employee stock plans such as employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and stock options. Both in implementing and communicating stock plans and in trying to create a more participative `ownership` culture, companies with diverse work forces can face difficulties and misunderstandings. Over the course of several months, staffers at the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) talked to employee ownership companies and advisors to identify common patterns of response and learn any particular techniques that seemed to work well. The NCEO also consulted with leading diversity experts to gain insights into just how diversity plays out in the workplace. This book, with chapters written by NCEO staff and outside experts, brings the results of these efforts together. [detailed...]

Cultural Diversity in the Armed Forces: An International Comparison (Cass Military Studies)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book focuses on how the cultural pluralism in 21st century societies affects the diversity of (post)modern armed forces. For a range of countries around the world, the issue is first and foremost conceptualized in terms of two variables: ethnicity and gender. In addition, partly depending on local circumstances and policies, other variables are addressed as well, especially language, religion and sexual orientation. While the heterogeneity of the national cases is conspicuous, the underlying problems and challenges are very similar indeed. The tension between military necessities and organizational effectiveness on the one hand, and political and social desiderata on the other hand, can be detected in all the countries under consideration. And nowhere the solutions are easy or painless. But then again, a representative military has always been a complicated, if not a paradoxical ideal, as is argued in the introductory chapter. At the same time, as is elaborated in the… [detailed...]

Rhoda H. Halperin
Cultural Economies Past and Present (Texas Press Sourcebooks in Anthropology)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: When anthropologists and other students of culture want to compare different societies in such areas as the organization of land, labor, trade, or barter, they often discover that individual researchers use these concepts inconsistently and from a variety of theoretical approaches, so that data from one society cannot be compared with data from another. In this book, Rhoda Halperin offers an analytical tool kit for studying economic processes in all societies and at all times. She uniquely organizes thebook around key concepts: economy, ecology, equivalencies, householding, storage, and time and the economy. These concepts are designed to facilitate the understanding of similarities, differences, and changes between contemporary and past economies. While this is not only a `how-to` book or handbook, it can be used as such. It will be of great value to scholars and students of archaeology and history, as well as to ethnographers and economists.

Cultural Memory: Resistance, Faith, and Identity

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Texas Press
Description: The common `blood` of a people - that imperceptible flow that binds neighbor to neighbor and generation to generation - derives much of its strength from cultural memory. Cultural memories are those transformative historical experiences that define a culture, even as time passes and it adapts to new influences. For oppressed peoples, cultural memory engenders the spirit of resistance, not surprisingly, some of its most powerful incarnations are rooted in religion. In this interdisciplinary examination, Jeanette Rodriguez and Ted Fortier explore how four such forms of cultural memory have preserved the spirit of a particular people. `Cultural Memory` is not a comparative work, but it is a multicultural one, with four distinct case studies: the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the devotion it inspires among Mexican Americans, the role of secrecy and ceremony among the Yaqui Indians of Arizona, the evolving narrative of Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador as transmitted… [detailed...]
