Book Description
The present text discusses sense-theoretical foundations of recent organizational research and makes them visible by analyzing epistemological terms of current discourses in organizational science (cognition, institution, practice, culture, communication, semantics). In a further step, communication is discussed as an operative guiding concept for understanding organizational reproduction and networking and applied to various organizational phenomena (managementization, standardization, circulation of ideas, translation, design). This book thus sees itself both as a contribution to theory development in organizational research and as a contribution to the research field of "(world) society and organization." Overall, the individual studies in this text discuss and explore the relevance of an epistemological, social and societal foundation of organization theory on the basis of an operational theory of meaning. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Language, Literature & Meaning
Author: John Odmark
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027281130
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 581
Book Description
The essays in this two-volume anthology provide the reader with an overview of current Czech, Polish and Hungarian research in language, literature and meaning as well as some new perspectives on the major theoretical contributions of Roman Ingarden, Georg Lukács and Jan Mukařovský. For the most part, the emphasis is on Poetics and Literary Theory; however, in some of the essays the focus shifts to such related disciplines as Aesthetics, Linguistics and Semiotics. The heterogeneity of this collection reflects the broad spectrum of interests and approaches to problems of theory being pursued at present in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Much of the work being done in these countries remains relatively unknown outside of Eastern Europe. This anthology is an attempt to rectify this situation and make better known the nature and extent of research which promises new insights into a whole range of phenomena in language, literature and culture.

New Directions for Organization Theory
Author: Jeffrey Pfeffer
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0195114345
Category : Non-governmental organizations
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Pfeffer argues that the world of organizations has changed in several important ways, including the increasing externalization of employment and the growing use of contingent workers; the changing size distribution of organizations, with a larger proportion of smaller organizations; the increasing influence of external capital markets on organizational decision-making and a concomitant decrease in managerial autonomy; and increasing salary inequality within organizations in the US compared both to the past and to other industrialized nations. These changes and their public policy implications make it especially important to understand organizations as social entities. But Pfeffer questions whether the research literature of organization studies has either addressed these changes and their causes or made much of a contribution to the discussion of public policy.

Contemporary Neuropsychology and the Legacy of Luria
Author: Elkhonon Goldberg
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134745575
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Best known as a founding father of neuropsychology, Luria is remembered for his clinical approach, which in many ways foreshadowed and served as the basis for the currently popular "process approach" to neuropsychological diagnosis. Although he never completed the job of designing a general theory of brain- behavioral relations, he nonetheless contributed mightily to the ongoing effort to develop one, and to the emergence of neuropsychology as a mature science. Written by professionals who either knew Alexandr Romanovich Luria personally or experienced his scientific influence, the topics examined in this volume reflect the expanse of his interests and contributions.

Causality and Development
Author: Gerald Young
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783030024949
Category : PSYCHOLOGY
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The third book in Young's unique trilogy on causality and development continues to locate and define the central role of causality in biopsychosocial and network/systems development, and as a unifying concept of psychology itself. As a way of discussing causality, in general, initially, the book focuses on the acquisition of handedness and hemispheric specialization in infancy and childhood, and their relations to the development of cognition, language, and emotion, in particular. The second part of the book elaborates an innovative 25-step Neo-Eriksonian model of development across the life course based on a Neo-Piagetian model covered in the previous books, completing a step-by-step account of development over the lifespan cognitively and socio-emotionally. It builds on the concept of neo-stage, which is network-based. From this conceptual synthesis, the author's robust theory of development and causality identifies potential areas for psychological problems and pathology at each developmental step as well as science-based possibilities for their treatment. This elegant volume: Presents a clear picture of the development of handedness and laterality in more depth than has been attempted in the literature to date. Traces the causal concepts of activation-inhibition coordination and networking in the context of development. Describes in depth a novel 25-step Neo-Eriksonian lifespan model of development. Reviews relevant research on Piagetian and Eriksonian theories in development. Emphasizes the clinical utility of the described 25-step Neo-Eriksonian approach to lifespan development. A significant step in understanding this highly nuanced subject and synthesizing a broad knowledge base, Causality and Development will find an interested audience among developmental psychologists, mental health practitioners, academics, and researchers.chers. .

Nominal Game Semantics
Author: Andrzej S. Murawski
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781680831061
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
Nominal Game Semantics complements existing introductory literature to game semantics, which highlight the then new structural components necessary to model higher-order computation; for example, arenas, justification pointers, and innocence. In contrast, this monograph focuses on explaining the nominal content of our games. It begins by covering the basics of nominal sets before proceeding to introduce the programming language of study, called GroundML. GroundML is a higher-order language with references capable of storing integers, references to integers, references to references to integers, and so on. Before presenting the game model of GroundML in full detail, the reader is given a flavor of the nominal approach with the presentation of ToyML that, for the sake of simplicity, features only integer-valued references and restricted higher-order types. Because ToyML is simpler, it allows a more direct and elementary presentation of its game semantics, which will help the reader to make a transition to the full-blown model. Nominal Game Semantics has been written in a way that will make it accessible to readers who are familiar with standard denotational semantics and types.

The Oxford Handbook of Organization Theory
Author: Haridimos Tsoukas
Publisher: Oxford Handbooks Online
ISBN: 9780199275250
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 676
Book Description
2) How has organization theory developed over time, and what structure has the field taken? What assumptions does knowledge produced in organization theory incorporate, and what forms do its knowledge claims take as they are put forward for public adoption? 3) How have certain well-known controversies in organization theory, such as for example, the structure/agency dilemma, the study of organizational culture, the different modes of explanation, the micro/macro controversy, and the differnet explanations produced by organizational economists and sociologists, been dealt with? 4) How, and in what ways, is knowledge generated in organization theory related to action? What features must organization theory knowledge have in order to be actionable, and of relevance to the world 'out there'? How have ethical concerns been taken into account in organization theory? 5) What is the future of organization theory? What direction should the field take? What must change in the way research is conducted and key theoretical terms are conceptualized so that organization theory enhances its capacity to generate valid and relevant knowledge?
