Global Strategy in Our Age of Chaos How Will the Multinational Firm Survive?
No full textChaotic environments are producing unique and unprecedented challenges for multinational companies, challenges that raise important questions about whether and how multinationals will survive or wither away. This Element explores both the macro political, economic, technological, and social forces impacting international business and the strategic management adaptations that leading companies have deployed to respond to these challenges. We observe that a new organizational form – the Global Multi-Business – has evolved that may be especially adapted to respond to and challenge a world in which change is ubiquitous, with the direction of change unpredictable and the pace of change accelerating. It accomplishes this through the strategic assembly of the organization and the animation of its many parts
Punishing Gender
Get PDFAs jurisdictions across the country grapple with the urgent need to redress the impact of mass incarceration, there has been renewed interest in reforms that reduce the harms punishment inflicts on women. These gender-responsive reforms aim to adapt traditional punishment practices that, proponents claim, were designed for men. The push to change how we punish based on gender, while perhaps well intentioned, is misguided. As abolition feminist principles reveal, these gender-responsive practices not only reify traditional gender norms, but also strengthen the operation of the carceral state. This Article catalogs the ways in that the gender-responsive approach currently influences various decisions about criminal punishment, including about the length, location, and type of punishment one receives. Then, it provides an abolition feminist critique of how we punish gender and concludes that these efforts to treat some people better than others ultimately lead to a system that is worse for all
Heroic Virtues in Space Exploration: Everydayness and Supererogation on Earth and Beyond
Get PDFThe space environment poses significant dangers and difficulties for human explorers—difficulties so great that it has been argued that space exploration should be exclusively conducted by automated spacecraft. The possibility of space science conducted by human astronauts in spite of these dangers presents the opportunity for individuals to exhibit traditional heroic virtues—presumably, supererogatory forms of prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice—in the pursuit of science. In particular, the difficulties of pursuing science in the hostile conditions of extraterrestrial environments will call for physical courage in the face of personal danger, patience with the painstaking procedures of technically difficult scientific experiments performed under demanding conditions, and the ability to maintain good humor under conditions of privation, hardship, and discomfort—all necessary to preserving a constructive work environment among a team of scientists far from home
Self-Sacrifice and Civilization: American Everyday Heroism and the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission in the Progressive Era
Get PDFThis article examines the multi-layered meanings of civilian heroism around 1900. It argues that the Progressive Era was an important transition period in the history of heroism in the United States, during which definitions of what was regarded as heroic multiplied and no longer revolved solely around military valor or political leadership. Especially everyday heroes received unprecedented media attention. They were seen by many as evidence of the continuing progress of American civilization, which appeared to allow for a peaceful coexistence of individual self-interest and social consciousness. The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, established in 1904, contributed much to such interpretations because it deliberately challenged traditions of military heroism and institutionalized the public recognition of everyday heroism
Playing At Being Human: Finding Leadership and Empathy Through Digital Games
No full textThe current article presents examples of video games that specifically seek to enable their players to rethink their ideological assumptions and to develop empathy, critical components of both understanding and practicing leadership. Through these examples, the article suggests that video games are uniquely effective in this capacity because of their emphasis on interactivity and imaginative identification, as well as the wide distribution of games as a medium. Taken together, games\u27 effectiveness at persuasion, ability to develop empathy, and popularity make them particularly well-suited to prepare players for engagement with leadership as both leaders and (critical) followers
“Every Child Needs A Champion”: Foster Children with Disabilities and the Appointment of Surrogate Parents Under Idea
Get PDFWhen a parent is absent, children in foster care who receive special education services are entitled to the appointment of a surrogate parent. This appointment is especially necessary due to the importance of the parent’s role in special education law and the often enhanced educational needs of children in foster care. However, the logistics of how surrogate parents are appointed and trained vary widely across the country. This article examines the legal landscape of the appointment of surrogate parents for children in foster care who receive special education services both nationally and in Virginia. This article also reviews the training and appointment process in other states, including the strong role undertaken by state education agencies in ensuring the prompt appointment of trained surrogate parents. The article concludes with recommendations for improving these processes in Virginia, and examines methods to increase positive educational outcomes for Virginia’s youth in foster care who receive special education services
Bodies on the Line: An Analysis of Incarceration and Assassination and Their Role in Civil Rights Movements
Get PDFThe history of American civil rights is understood largely through the context of various mass movements. Most famously, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s was a remarkable representation of collective action. The success of that movement becomes even more significant when considering the realities of life for Black Americans at the time. In the spirit of those movements, the 2010s and 2020s have brought about modern movements that continue to push against discrimination toward Black Americans and push for progress in the legal system. The movements each were and are met with opposition. This article focuses on the opposition and silencing tactics of the law—that is, the written law and law enforcement—as intentional methods of hindering the progress of movements. Specifically, this article explores the ways in which assassination and incarceration impact civil rights movements both negatively and positively.
Through a series of case studies, the article argues that the civil rights movements in America have a cyclical nature, recurring with similar patterns whenever they appear. Assassination and incarceration are at the center of that cycle. Using comparisons between the assassinations of Emmett Till, Martin Luther King Jr., and Trayvon Martin, the article will demonstrate how, frequently, death is a catalyst for collective action against the law, but is also used by the law as a method of slowing progress. Incarceration functions similarly. This article will explore protest laws, jail-no-bail tactics, and similar instances of incarceration as either strategies used by activists to effectuate change or by the law to silence those involved in these movements. Through the analysis of major moments in civil rights movements from the 1960s to the 2020s, this article demonstrates how assassination and incarceration are inherent to the cycle of movements in America as they serve as both catalysts and deterrents to a movement’s progress, and that, without substantial change to the current legal system, the cycle will continue
