Radical Organisation Development

Radical Organisation Development

Contemporary organisation development (OD) in practice draws on sophisticated theory and tools to advance organisational change using a range of concepts and techniques including positive psychology appreciation and active engagement with the workforce. OD is considered to be humanistic and as a result progressive. Mark Cole's original and thought-provoking treatise points at a hole at the heart of OD practice: it fails to consider the role of power in the workplace – and the result is disempowering. Drawing from critical theory as a radical means to redefine practice Mark Cole exposes this paradox and reveals the significant limitations and negative impacts of current OD practice. We need to replace the idea of the organisation with a focus on active human organising to enable individuals within systems to effect change from the grassroots up: this concept is Radical OD. Essential reading for students practitioners and academics of OD; the wider HR community and all with an interest in developing their understanding of organisational life this ground-breaking manifesto offers unique and challenging insight into the corporate presence of OD – and challenges the willing reader to reimagine the focus and intent of this work. | Radical Organisation Development

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

The idea behind this volume according to its editor Brian Lavery was to give a rounded picture of life at sea during the age of sail. It concentrates on the daily routine of shipboard life rather than more dramatic events such as battles and mutiny. It supplements other volumes produced by the Navy Records Society notably Five Naval Journals 1789-1817 (vol 91 1951 ed H G Thursfield) and The Health of Seamen (vol 107 1965 ed C C Lloyd. )The selection begins in the second quarter of the eighteenth century because stated Brian Lavery ‘there are no suitable documents from earlier periods’ and closes in 1815 when the navy entered a new era with the advent of steam and a long period of peace. One of the most important aspects of shipboard life was that it was intensely self-contained especially in the later part of the age of sail. After the conquest of scurvy ships were able to stay at sea for many months at a time and the world-wide battle for empire caused them to make very long voyages often away from their home bases over a period of years. Even in port seamen often stayed on board and shore leave was not in any sense a right. This volume throws a spotlight on the way in which a crew of up to 850 men could be crammed into a small space for many months at a time and the ways in which they were fed clothed allocated space for eating and sleeping at the same time as they were organised for sailing and battle duties. It contains separate sections dealing with Admiralty Regulations Captain’s Orders Medical Journals discipline and punishment. It also includes an extensive glossary of the nautical terms and descriptions of the time. | Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Space Mobility and Crisis in Mega-Event Organisation Tokyo Olympics 2020's Atmospheric Irradiations

Space Mobility and Crisis in Mega-Event Organisation Tokyo Olympics 2020's Atmospheric Irradiations

This book advances an alternative critical posthumanist approach to mega-event organisation taking into account both the new and the old crises which humanity and our planet face. Taking the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as a case study Tzanelli explores mega-event crisis and risk management in the era of extreme urbanisation natural disasters global pandemic and technoscientific control. Using the atmospheric term ‘irradiation’ (a technology of glamour and transparency as well as bodily penetration by harmful agents and strong affects) the book explores this epistemological statement diachronically (via Tokyo’s relationship with Western forms of domination) and synchronically (the city as a global cultural-political player but victim of climate catastrophes). It presents how the ‘Olympic enterprise’s’ ‘flattening’ of indigenous environmental place-making rhythms and the scientisation of space and place in the Anthropocene lead to reductionisms harmful for a viable programme of planetary recovery. An experimental study of the mega-event is enacted which considers the researcher’s analytical tools and the styles of human and non-human mobility during the mega-event as reflexive gateways to forms of posthuman flourishing. Crossing and bridging disciplinary boundaries the book will appeal to any scholar interested in mobilities theory event and environment studies sociology of knowledge and cultural globalisation. | Space Mobility and Crisis in Mega-Event Organisation Tokyo Olympics 2020's Atmospheric Irradiations

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

Contesting Inequality and Worker Mobilisation Australia 1851-1880

Contesting Inequality and Worker Mobilisation: Australia 1851-1880 provides a new perspective on how and why workers organise and what shapes that organisation. The author’s 2018 Origins of Worker Mobilisation examined the beginning of worker organisation arguing inequality at work and regulatory subordination of labour drove worker resistance initially by informal organization that slowly transitioned to formal organisation. This new volume analyses worker mobilisation in the period 1851-1880 drawing data from a unique relational database recording every instance of organisation. It assesses not only the types of organization formed but also the issues and objectives upon which mobilisation was founded. It examines the relationship between formal and informal organisation including their respective influences in reshaping working conditions and the life-circumstances of working communities. 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
