Joel A.C. Baum
Disciplinary Roots of Strategic Management

y.
Publisher:
Description: Hardbound. During the past two decades, students of strategy have promiscuously borrowed ideas from the disciplines of economics, sociology, and psychology. The result has been an abundance of models ranging from the structure-conduct-performance model to evolutionary economics, from ecological models of strategy to network models of strategy, and cognitive perspectives on strategy to learning models of strategy. The contributions to Volume 15 are organized into five themes: Economics, Institutions, Networks, Technology, and Computation. Together, the contributions show how contemporary strategic management research draws upon root disciplines by interconnecting disciplines or fields within a particular discipline, or by focusing tightly on a particular subfield. All three approaches are essential to a vibrant strategic management - close attention to developments within subfields comprising root disciplines and integration of these developments within s [detailed...]

Discipline Without Punishment: The Proven Strategy That Turns Problem Employees into Superior Performers

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: The original edition of Discipline Without Punishment introduced a positive approach for getting problem employees to meet--and often even exceed--job requirements. The book still delivers on that promise, and in this revised edition, Dick Grote provides new insights, along with sample dialogues, memos, and worksheets. Grote`s revolutionary method helps readers: * avoid confrontational, anger-provoking sessions * prepare for and conduct performance improvement discussions that enhance relationships and emphasize problem-solving * create and administer the entire disciplinary process, including a paid leave of absence as a final chance to commit to better performance This proven guidebook, from one of the country`s leading experts on performance management, will help any organization get potentially great employees back on track.

Discipline and Development: Middle Classes and Prosperity in East Asia and Latin America

y.
Publisher:
Description: Revealing that the key to successful economic development in late industrializers rests in the state`s capacity to discipline capitalists, this study sheds light on why certain countries (South Korea and Taiwan) have the capacity to discipline capitalists, while others (Mexico and Argentina) find themselves at the receiving end of industrialists` political and economic power. Closer examination of middle classes, especially rural middle classes, reveals the extent to which they achieve sufficient political sway in politics and society, and thus are able to impose such discipline.

Discipline and Liberty : Television and Governance

2003 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book Description Taking Foucault`s notion of Governance--the conduct of conduct--Gareth Palmer applies it to a range of television formats which have loosely been described as `reality TV.` Big Brother , Video Diaries , Judge TV , Ricki Lake , and Stupid Behaviour Caught on Tape use a technology of discipline to produce confessions, revelations and transformations which render citizens more transparent than ever and can punish those of who dare to be different. Looking at how various agencies of the state have exhorted us to report crime--such as tax evasion, street crime, even benefit fraud--the author shows how constant surveillance is now integral to the process of citizenship.

Disciplining Democracy: Development Discourse and Good Governance in Africa

y.
Publisher:
Description: This thought-provoking book does not simply link the West`s good governance agenda with the demise of the Soviet Union. Abrahamsen shows that this democratic agenda involves little more than superficial institutional reforms. The Wests primary goal in developing countries remains the enforcement of structural adjustment. African governments, in particular, remain in a double bind, nominally responsible to their electorates at home, but also beholden to external creditors and donors. Demands by impoverished electorates that their new democratic institutions actually work to defend their interests are often branded as illegitimate by the West. [detailed...]

Disciplining Statistics: Demography and Vital Statistics in France and England, 1830-1885 (Politics, History, and Culture)

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: In Disciplining Statistics Libby Schweber compares the science of population statistics in England and France during the nineteenth century, demonstrating radical differences in the interpretation and use of statistical knowledge. Through a comparison of vital statistics and demography, Schweber describes how the English government embraced statistics, using probabilistic interpretations of statistical data to analyze issues related to poverty and public health. The French were far less enthusiastic. Political and scientific Alites in France struggled with the a?realitya? of statistical populations, wrestling with concerns about the accuracy of figures that aggregated heterogeneous groups such as the rich and poor and rejecting probabilistic interpretations. Tracing the introduction and promotion of vital statistics and demography, Schweber identifies the institutional conditions that account for the contrasting styles of reasoning. She shows that the different [detailed...]

Disclosing New Worlds: Entrepreneurship, Democratic Action, and the Cultivation of Solidarity

y.
Publisher:
Description: `A brave attempt to reformulate the relationship between democratic rights and economic progress in an age when the triumphalism of technological advance masks an unconfident vision of the future.` -- Peter Aspden, Financial Times Disclosing New Worlds calls for a recovery of a way of being that has always characterized human life at its best. The book argues that human beings are at their best not when they are engaged in abstract reflection, but when they are intensely involved in changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in some domain of their culture--that is, when they are making history. History-making, in this account, refers not to wars and transfers of political power, but to changes in the way we understand and deal with ourselves. The authors identify entrepreneurship, democratic action, and the creation of solidarity as the three major arenas in which people make history, and they focus on three prime methods of history-making--reconfiguration, [detailed...]

Discounted Labour: Women Workers in Canada, 1870-1939 (Themes in Canadian History)

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: The years between 1870 and 1939 were a crucial period in the growth of industrial capitalism in Canada, as well as a time when many women joined the paid workforce. Yet despite the increase in employment, women faced a difficult struggle in gaining fair remuneration for their work and in gaining access to better jobs. Discounted Labour analyses the historical roots of women`s persistent inequality in the paid labour force. Ruth A. Frager and Carmela K. Patrias analyse how and why women became confined to low-wage jobs, why their work was deemed less valuable than men`s work, why many women lacked training, job experience, and union membership, and under what circumstances women resisted their subordination. Distinctive earning discrepancies and employment patterns have always characterized women`s place in the workforce whether they have been in low-status, unskilled jobs, or in higher positions. For this reason, Frager and Patrias focus not only on women wage-earners but [detailed...]

Description: On aura peut-etre ete un peu surpris de voir dans ces discours l`accent porte par Camus sur la defense de l`art et la liberte de l`artiste - en meme temps que sur la solidarite qui s`impose a lui. Cela faisait certes partie de ce que lui dictaient les circonstances et le milieu ou il devait les prononcer, mais il est certain que Camus se sentait accable par une situation ou, selon ses propres paroles, `le silence meme prend un sens redoutable. A partir du moment ou l`abstention elle-meme est consideree comme un choix, puni ou loue comme tel, l`artiste, qu`il le veuille ou non, est embarque. Embarque me parait ici plus juste qu`engage`. Et malgre une certaine eloquence - qu`on lui reprochait egalement - il se sentait profondement concerne et douloureusement atteint par un conflit qui le touchait jusque dans sa chair et dans ses affections les plus enracinees. : 10,5 17,5 .

Discourse Analysis

1983 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Discourse analysis is a term which has come to have different interpretations for scholars working in different disciplines. For a sociolinguist, it is concerned mainly with the structre of social interaction manifested in conversation, for a psycholinguit, it is primarily concerned with the nature of comprehension of short written texts, for the computational linguist, it is concerned with producing operational models of text-understanding within highly limited contexts. In this textbook, the authors proide an extensive overview of the many and diverse approaches to the study of discourse, but base their own approach centrally on the discipline which, to varying degrees, is common to them all - linguistics. Using a methodology which has much in common wih descriptive linguistics, they offer a lucid and wide-ranging account of how forms of language are used in communication. Their principal concern is to examine how any language produced by man, whether spoken or written, is used to [detailed...]

Discourse Strategies

1982 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: To understand the role of language in public life and the social process in general, we need first a closer understanding of how linguistic knowledge and social factors interact in discourse interpretation. This volume is a major advance towards that understanding. Professor Gumperz here synthesizes fundamental research on communication from a wide variety of disciplines - linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropology and non-verbal communication - and develops an original and broadly based theory of conversational inference which shows how verbal communication can serve either between individuals of different social and ethnic backgrounds. The urgent need to overcome such barriers to effective communication is also a central concern of the book. Examples of conversational exchanges as well as of longer encounters, recorded in the urban United States, village Austria, South Asia and Britain, and analyzed to illustrate all aspects of the analytical approach, and to show how subconscious [detailed...]
