Organizational Behaviour by Stephen J Perkins,Raisa Arvinen-Muondo Pdf

There is a large body of shared knowledge between the study of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management but despite the crossover, they are often treated as very distinct disciplines. Written by a team of experts across both fields, Organizational Behaviour bridges the gap between OB and HRM, with an emphasis on inter-cultural and cross-cultural perspectives of organizational development, talent management, and leadership. Through a critical analysis of existing literature and case studies, the contributors cover topics such as corporate governance, ethical business practices, employee morale and motivation, performance management, corporate politics and conflict resolution, workplace diversity, creativity, and change management - all within the framework of current global employment standards and best practices.

Women's emancipation and civil society organisations by Schwabenland, Christina,Lange, Chris Pdf

Women are at the heart of civil society organisations. Through them they have achieved many successes, challenged oppressive practices at a local and global level and have developed outstanding entrepreneurial activities. Yet Civil Service Organisation (CSO) research tends to ignore considerations of gender and the rich history of activist feminist organisations is rarely examined. This collection examines the nexus between the emancipation of women, and their role(s) in these organisations. Featuring contrasting studies from a wide range of contributors from different parts of the world, it covers emerging issues such as the role of social media in organising, the significance of religion in many cultural contexts, activism in Eastern Europe and the impact of environmental degradation on women’s lives. Asking whether involvement in CSOs offers a potential source of emancipation for women or maintains the status quo, this anthology will also have an impact on policy and practice in relation to equal opportunities.

Sondra Perry by Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland Pdf

Was macht aus einem beliebigen Raum einen Platz? Was schreibt ihm Geschichte ein oder verleiht ihm Bedeutung? Diese Fragen beschäftigen die Installationskünstlerin Sondra Perry in ihrer aktuellen Arbeit A Terrible Thing für das Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. An der Euclid Street, im Herzen Clevelands gelegen, betreibt Perry mit den Mitteln von Video, online gefundenen Bildern und digitalen Repräsentationsmöglichkeiten eine archäologische Studie, die der Geschichte dieser Straße nachspürt. Die Infrastruktur und ihr Wandel, die architektonische Konstruktion und ihre alltägliche Nutzung, der fertige Komplex und die Arbeit zu seiner Errichtung werden aufeinander bezogen, um Fragen der Identität – einer Stadt, einer Gesellschaft und der Individuen – zu verhandeln. Diese Arbeit wurde zu einem Prisma aus Zeiten und Perspektiven, die nun auch im Buch nachvollzogen werden können.

The Metaphoric Process by Gemma Corradi Fiumara Pdf

Metaphor is much more than just a linguistic phenomena, argues Gemma Corradi Fiumara, it is in fact the key process by which we construct and develop our ability to understand the world and the people we share it with. Rationality as understood by philosophers has led to a disembodied view of ourselves in which interaction between life and language has been downplayed. By looking at the metaphoric process - in an interpersonal rather than a formal way - its importance in allowing us access to new worlds of experience is revealed. The metaphoric potential in us all exposes us to the world and initiates our involvement in it.

Language in International Business by Mary Yoko Brannen,Terry Mughan Pdf

Tracing the treatment of language in international business as represented in the Journal of International Business Studies, this seminal collection critically explores the conceptualizations of language that have been adopted or ignored by international business scholars over the years and showcases nine articles that have played an important role in establishing and advancing the field. In today’s increasingly globalized context of business, significantly richer theories from interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to explain the complexity of the interplay between multiple facets of language and how they affect day-to-day operations. With insights from linguistics, psychology and organizational theory, Language in International Business provides an assessment of scholarly efforts to uncover the profound impact that language has on global business today and proposes some important ways in which this nascent field of language in international business may be further advanced.
