Fossil Plant
No full textFossil Plant is a lyrical consideration of familial loss and personal grief, as well as a meditation on ecological and societal grief in the face of the continual violence of intrusive degradation and loss, and how these combine to form a kind of personal narrative. The text attempts to navigate absence without becoming lost entirely within the wound of absence. The introductory essay which precedes the creative manuscript attempts to view the aforementioned topics in relation to the work of Paul Auster and Samuel Beckett, among others, particularly in their respective novels City of Glass and Watt, as well as through a theoretical framework provided by writers such as Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes, John Cage, and Simone Weil
The Fractional Revolution: How Roles of Part-Time CFOs Are Transforming Organizational Structures
No full textThe rise of fractional work is transforming organizational structures. This 21st-century phenomenon sees skilled professionals moving towards fractionalizing their time to support multiple organizations through their work. Within the scope of nonprofit organizations, this research seeks to understand the impact of fractional CFOs (fCFOs) on organizational structures. Utilizing a case study approach, I explored how the evolving roles of a fCFO influence and drive organizational change. Through semi-structured interviews, archival data analysis, ethnographic journals, and grounded theory, this study analyzes the relationship between the fCFO roles and the organizational structure dimensions, as defined by Pugh et al. (1968), across three phases: (1) pre-fCFO engagement, (2) one-year post engagement, and (3) years two through seven post engagement. Findings reveal that the fCFO significantly impacted the nonprofit\u27s structure by strengthening the organizational dimensions of specialization, standardization, formalization, centralization, and configuration. This study concludes that the successful engagement of a fCFO depends on clearly defined roles and deliverables that include financial guidance and recommendations, leadership of finance staff, audit support, and fiscal governance support, which leads to positive organizational change and long-term sustainability. The practical implications highlight the potential for delegating specific roles to fractional workers, allowing for flexibility and adaptation as organizations evolve. Theoretically, this research contributes to organizational structure literature by extending Pugh et al.\u27s (1968) framework to incorporate fractional workers and integrate role theory to understand their organizational contributions
