corporate social responsibility and women s entrepreneurship towards a more Adequate Theory of work
Business Ethics Quarterly, 2017Co-Authors: Mary JohnstonelouisAbstract:Programs aimed at increasing women’s entrepreneurship are a rapidly proliferating class of CSR initiatives across the globe with participation by many of the world’s largest corporations. The gendered nature of this phenomenon suggests that feminist approaches to CSR may offer a particularly salient mode of their analysis. In this article, I argue that insights from feminist economics regarding the historically prevalent—but narrow and gendered—definition of work, which artificially separates production from reproduction, provide fruitful tools for Theory building when conceptualizing gender through the lens of CSR. I demonstrate that the gendered separation of production and reproduction is typically taken as given in entrepreneurship, and that mainstream CSR research has not sufficiently challenged this perspective. I present a conceptual framework of what is to be gained by examining the CSR, entrepreneurship, and feminist economics literatures in combination, and demonstrate how researchers might use this framework for future research.

mixed results lousy process the management experience of organizational change
British Journal of Management, 2000Co-Authors: Mike Doyle, Tim Claydon, Dave BuchananAbstract:This paper reports the findings of a survey of 92 managers, from 14 public and 14 private-sector organizations. The aim was to explore the experience of change, extending the findings of a previous study (Buchanan, Claydon and Doyle, 1999). The survey addressed six themes: communication, evaluation, learning, attitudes and relationships, implementation and change and continuity. Overall, the results present a bleak picture of the process and outcomes of contemporary change. Most managers claim that change responsibility affords valuable personal learning. However, recent change has also been accompanied by stress, work intensification, command and control and management–employee distrust. A comparison of public and private–sector responses suggests that the experience of change in the public sector has been more pressured than in the private sector. Comparison of responses by management level indicates that senior managers are more likely to hold positive views of the change process and its outcomes. Explanations for these differences in experience and perception are considered, along with the implications. It is concluded that an Adequate Theory of organizational change must address the contradictions and tensions in the lived experience of those implicated, and that effective practice should consider the linkage of change implementation with organizational learning mechanisms which, on this evidence, are absent.

public management as a cultural phenomenon revitalizing societal culture in international public management research
International Public Management Review, 2007Co-Authors: Kuno Schedler, Isabella ProellerAbstract:Most scholars in public administration and management research would agree that there is a connection between the culture of a nation or region and the way management in public administration is structured and working ("public management arrangements"). However, to be incorporated into public management research and Theory, a more precise notion about the forms, ways, and mechanisms of the interlinkage between societal culture and public management is required. A look into public management literature reveals that wide use and reference is made to the importance and influence of culture on public management arrangements - mostly, though, using the term "culture" as a short-cut for "organizational culture". Public management discussion focuses on varying aspects and levels of culture, and varying conceptual integrations of cultural aspects are found. Public management treatises stress the influence of past events and contexts for the specific functioning and establishment of organizations, rules, and perceptions which in turn have great influence on the reception and functioning of public management mechanisms. Elsewise, organizational culture - or more precisely change thereof - is claimed to be the result of public management efforts. In sum, the interlinkage between culture and public management is there, but is not systematically and explicitly incorporated by referring to Adequate Theory. Although cultural Theory has gained considerable attention, there are still other concepts for the analysis of cultural facts that may be of interest to the subject, too.

particle bounce or capture search for an Adequate Theory i conservation of energy model for a simple collision process
Aerosol Science and Technology, 1995Co-Authors: Barton E DahnekeAbstract:Particle-surface collisions have been the object of a number of studies. In two of these studies, Dahneke (1971) and Wall et al (1990) derived simple models for predicting collision dynamics and particle bounce or capture. Neither model has yet provided full rationalization of measured bounce-or-capture data. In fact, the two models sometimes predict different results. Some confusion is evident, as is the need for a simple, reliable Theory founded on basic physical laws to provide improved understanding of simple collisions and guide modeling of more complex ones. We rederive the Dahneke and Wall et al models considering the collision process in greater detail. We consider the simplest particle-surface-collision processes, namely, the idealized collision of a homogeneous, solid, non-rotating particle (a perfect sphere or right circular cylinder striking a surface end-on with its symmetry axis oriented normal to the surface) moving at normal incidence towards a flat, smooth surface of a solid body in vacuu...
