Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Contemporary political and public discourse has come alive with the issues and conflicts surrounding questions of national identity. Despite the widespread sociological attention it has drawn as a result most studies of national identity have been conducted at considerable analytical distance from the lived reality of national identity talk. This collection brings together the work of contemporary researchers situating the talk and interaction in which national identities are actually expressed and used. The book presents detailed investigations of how persons actually use national identity in their talk the interactional uses to which such expressions are put and the interactional consequences of such identity talk. The studies are based on transcribed tape recordings of naturally occurring talk across a variety of different countries and settings illuminating not only situated national identity talk as a phenomenon in its own right but also providing empirically grounded research for traditional sociological theorising about issues of integration devolution and exclusion. | Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

The Organisation and Impact of Social Research Six Original Case Studies in Education and Behavioural Sciences

The Organisation and Impact of Social Research Six Original Case Studies in Education and Behavioural Sciences

Originally published in 1976 the authors of six of the most widely quoted works in behavioural science related to education at the time here describe in detail their research work including its origins planning and implementation. The accounts are unusual not only for their technical detail but for their candour. The brief was to put the heart and brains back into accounts of research so the authors comment not only on the research design but on the personal and professional problems they had to overcome. They also reflect on the reception of their work and the way in which it has been adapted misunderstood or deliberately distorted to support arguments of widely differing ideological pressure groups. The book shows how ingenuity and persistence as well as technical competence lie at the heart of the research process. The authors do not give the normal depersonalised streamlined account which gives a false mechanical picture of research as an occupation but show it to be a profound personal and professional experience as they comment on the thought that lay behind their work and the way it was finally produced for publication. Dr Shipman has written a short introduction to each chapter and contributed a concluding chapter relating the six research experiences to conventional views on the research process and to the part played by research evidence in policy making. | The Organisation and Impact of Social Research Six Original Case Studies in Education and Behavioural Sciences

Contesting Inequality and Worker Mobilisation Australia 1851-1880

It relates the examination of worker mobilisation to both historical and contemporary contexts and examines mobilisation by different categories of labour. The book identifies important effects of mobilisation on economic inequality hours of work (including the eight-hour day and the beginnings of the weekend) and the development of democracy. It will be of interest to researchers academics and students in the fields of social mobilisation social and economic history industrial relations labour regulation labour history and employment relations. | Contesting Inequality and Worker Mobilisation Australia 1851-1880

The Practice of Corporate Governance

The Practice of Corporate Governance

All corporate entities from the largest multinational conglomerate to the smallest tennis club need effective governance. Some features of corporate governance are basic common to all corporate entities: every governing body needs to think strategically and set policies to supervise ongoing management activities to ensure the entity is financially viable and is achieving its objectives. Every corporate entity has a governing body whether it is called a board of directors a committee a council or anything else. Many people when appointed to the governing body of an organisation have little idea of what to expect and what is expected of them. Even those with board-level experience find that the culture and leadership style of other governing bodies differ. The aim of this book is to help them understand and improve their contribution to the organisation and governing body they serve. The book is a simple guide to the work of every board member. Each chapter concludes with a worksheet which enables readers to apply the ideas in that chapter to their own organisation. On completing the book readers will have a detailed analysis of the governance of their own organisation. Effective governance improves performance and ensures long-term success. This book offers a straightforward guide to the fundamental work of governing bodies and the people who serve on them. | The Practice of Corporate Governance

Synesis The Unification of Productivity Quality Safety and Reliability

Synesis The Unification of Productivity Quality Safety and Reliability

The complexity of today’s large organisations businesses and social institutions defeats management approaches based on monolithic thinking. Most industry and service organisations look at their performance either from a single perspective – productivity quality safety etc. – or from different but separate perspectives that reside in organisational silos. Quality is treated separately from safety which again is treated separately from productivity and so on. While siloed thinking may be convenient in the short term it fails to recognise that any specific perspective reveals only a part of what goes on. Yet it is essential to have a unified view of how an organisation functions effectively to manage changes and to ensure the organisation excels in what it does. Synesis represents the mutually dependent set of priorities perspectives and practices that an organisation needs to carry out its activities as intended. It shows how to overcome the fragmentation in foci scope and time that characterises the dominant change management paradigms. This book is consequently not about productivity or quality or safety or reliability but about all of these together. It is about why it is necessary to think of them as a whole. And it is about how this can be done in practice. | Synesis The Unification of Productivity Quality Safety and Reliability

The Point of Entry A Study of Client Reception in the Social Services

The Point of Entry A Study of Client Reception in the Social Services

Few people who work in the social services would deny that the reception of those asking for help is important and yet this process is seldom closely examined. Originally published in 1974 this book aims not only to focus attention on the problems faced by those seeking the help of a social service organisation but also to analyse what happens and why at the point of entry. This study analyses reception practices in four very different social work agencies. The author demonstrates that the reception process is not just an administrative expedient but that under certain circumstances it may have a profound influence upon the way the agency operates the services it provides and who receives them. In short many of the important rationing decisions about resources allocation may be made not by an agency’s senior and middle managers or by its professional social work staff but by an untrained clerical receptionist at the point of initial contact between the organisation and its clients. The Point of Entry was primarily written for students and teachers of social administration social workers administrators and receptionists themselves. It is however a valuable study for all who are concerned with the reception of visitors to any kind of organisation which provides a service to clients. | The Point of Entry A Study of Client Reception in the Social Services
