No full textBuilding a Strategic Human Resource Management System: An Experiential Approach
No full textExperience-based learning has become a major component of many university curricula especially in business schools. The development and implementation of a semester long human resource management project in an undergraduate Human Resource Management course is detailed. The nature of various elements of the exercise, their positioning and a rationale for their inclusion is discussed in the context of how to administer such an experience-based learning tool for student development and assessment. One core focus of project implementation is monitoring the strategic alignment of each element to create the human resource system orientation that research suggests leads to competitive advantage for a firm. Student feedback on the project suggests a recognition and appreciation of the practical aspects of the exercise
Microaggressions and Coping with Linkages for Mentoring
No full textMicroaggressions can have damaging health impacts on minority groups experiencing exclusion through such forms of discrimination and bias. Using focus groups of different marginalized groups and through in-depth interviewing, we analyze the ways in which marginalized identities respond to and deal with microaggressions and highlight some relevant linkages to mentoring. Through a qualitative analysis of microaggression experiences, along the lines of race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion, we explore different coping mechanisms and potential linkages to mentoring. Our results indicate some underlying patterns of sense-making, categorized as coping by (a) resisting or reclaiming their voice, (b) retreating, reframing, or withdrawing, (c) rejecting or stonewalling, (d) restraining and internalizing, (e) seeking support and reconnecting (with safe spaces), and (f) redoubling (effort). For each of the coping strategies discussed, we also identify and advance mentoring linkages in the context of coping with microaggressions
Trapped in Inversion: George Gordon Byron’s "Cain" as a Mystery Play
No full textW artykule podjęto refleksję nad problematyką misteryjności w dramacie romantycznym na przykładzie Kaina George’a Gordona Byrona. Choć sam autor określił dramat jako „misterium”, konstrukcja dramatyczna dzieła oraz jego warstwa symboliczna nie wykazują bliższych związków z antycznymi lub średniowiecznymi sztukami o charakterze misteryjnym. Poeta zaprezentował w Kainie przede wszystkim epistemologiczny sens pojęcia misterium, rozumianego jako wtajemniczenie bohatera w nadprzyrodzony porządek istnienia. Autorka, skupiając się na antropologicznej i teleologicznej analizie znaczeń dramatu, dowodzi, że: 1) przedstawiona w Kainie opowieść o losach pierwszego bratobójcy w historii ludzkości jest przewrotnym nawiązaniem do pojęcia misterium według jego biblijnej, a zwłaszcza nowotestamentalnej wykładni; 2) misterium Kaina, na poziomie fikcji dramatycznej uwikłane w rozmaite relacje dialektyczne (sacrum i profanum, prawda i iluzja, dobro i zło, myśl i działanie, samotność i wspólnota), zostało ukazane jako „wtajemniczenie w śmierć” i stanowi odwrotność misterium ujmowanego w kontekście soteriologicznym; 3) dzieło jest intertekstualną grą (prowadzoną między innymi z Biblią, Rajem utraconym Johna Miltona i Makbetem Williama Shakespeare’a); 4) Kain jako „misterium” okazuje się doskonałym narzędziem ujawnienia sensów romantycznej dialektyki bytu oraz przekraczania granic conditio humana.This article discusses mystery play qualities in Romantic drama, based on the example of George Gordon Byron’s Cain. Although the author himself captioned it as “a mystery,” neither the dramatic structure of the work nor its symbolic layer seems to closely relate to ancient or medieval mystery plays. In Cain, the poet primarily presents the epistemological meaning of the concept of mystery, namely the protagonist’s initiation into the supernatural order of existence. Focusing on an anthropological and teleological analysis of the meanings of Byron’s drama, the author argues that: 1) in Cain, the story of the first fratricide in human history is used as a perverse reference to the biblical, and especially New-Testament understanding of the concept of mystery; 2) the mystery of Cain, entangled at the level of dramatic fiction in various dialectical relationships (the sacred and the profane, truth and illusion, good and evil, thought and action, loneliness and community), soteriological terms; 3) Byron’s work is an intertextual game (played with the Bible, Milton’s Paradise Lost, and Shakespeare’s Macbeth, among others); 4) as “a mystery,” Cain proves to be an excellent vehicle for revealing the meanings of the Romantic dialectic of being and transgressing the boundaries of the human condition

Why Am I Studying Design?
No full textIdentity development of design students is a dynamic entanglement between personal and professional identities. Yet, literature primarily focuses on professional identity, based on institutionalized definitions of design to which students must conform. In contrast, we explore personal motivations for wanting to become a designer. An instrumental case study explores how an undergraduate design student develops personal principles for good design, and a personal vision for designing. Results show these principles and underlying vision are applied in the student’s design work, leading to development of a holistic identity (personal and professional). Finally, we note this exercise necessitated a plural and dynamic understanding of design (education). We therefore encourage design students and educators to co-design educational spaces and processes to stimulate enriched potentiality of design culture.Methodologie en Organisatie van DesignMarketing and Consumer Researc
