The World of Goods

The World of Goods

It is well-understood that the consumption of goods plays an important symbolic role in the way human beings communicate create identity and establish relationships. What is less well-known is that the pattern of their flow shapes society in fundamental ways. In this book the renowned anthropologist Mary Douglas and economist Baron Isherwood overturn arguments about consumption that rely on received economic and psychological explanations. They ask new questions about why people save why they spend what they buy and why they sometimes-but not always-make fine distinctions about quality. Instead of regarding consumption as a private means of satisfying one’s preferences they show how goods are a vital information system used by human beings to fulfill their intentions towards one another. They also consider the implications of the social role of goods for a new vision for social policy arguing that poverty is caused as much by the erosion of local communities and networks as it is by lack of possessions and contrast small-scale with large-scale consumption in the household. A radical rethinking of consumerism inequality and social capital The World of Goods is a classic of economic anthropology whose insights remain compelling and urgent. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Richard Wilk. Forget that commodities are good for eating clothing and shelter; forget their usefulness and try instead the idea that commodities are good for thinking. – Mary Douglas and Baron Isherwood

Practical Guide to IT Problem Management

Practical Guide to IT Problem Management

Some IT organisations seem to expend all their energy firefighting – dealing with incidents as they arise and fixing or patching over the breakage. In organisations like this restarting computers is seen as a standard method to resolve many issues. Perhaps the best way to identify whether an organisation understands problem management is to ask what they do after they have restarted the computer. If restarting the computer fixes the issue it is very tempting to say that the incident is over and the job is done. Problem management recognises that things do not improve if such an approach is taken. Such organisations are essentially spending their time running to stay in the same place. Written to help IT organisations move forward Practical Guide to IT Problem Management presents a combination of methodologies including understanding timelines and failure modes drill down 5 whys and divide and conquer. The book also presents an exploration of complexity theory and how automation can assist in the desire to shift left both the complexity of the problem and who can resolve it. The book emphasises that establishing the root cause of a problem is not the end of the process as the resolution options need to be evaluated and then prioritised alongside other improvements. It also explores the role of problem boards and checklists as well as the relationship between problem management and Lean thinking. This practical guide provides both a framework for tackling problems and a toolbox from which to select the right methodology once the type of problem being faced has been identified. In addition to reactive methods it presents proactive activities designed to reduce the incidence of problems or to reduce their impact and complexity should they arise. Solving problems is often a combination of common sense and methodologies which may either be learnt the hard way or may be taught. This practical guide shows how to use problem solving tools and to understand how and when to apply them while upskilling IT staff and improving IT problem solving processes.
