Den refleksive dialog
No full textDette kapitel er skrevet med afsæt i behovet for ny ledelse, der aktualiseres af, at ledere i stigende grad skal være i stand til at agere i en stadig mere kompleks, modsætningsfyldt og ind imellem også en paradoksal organisatorisk virkelighed. I denne kontekst forudsætter ny ledelse en videreudvikling af lederens evner til at håndtere såvel ydre som indre modsætninger og konflikter. Lederens forudsætning for at kunne modsvare disse udfordringer er, i samspil med de øvrige organisationsmedlemmer, at udvikle den refleksive dialog og udfolde en dobbelt hermeneutisk samtale, der a) leder frem til en forståelse af egne og andres meninger og b) leder frem til en forståelse af de antagelser, der er udgangspunktet for disse meninger
Ledelsesfilosofi og Praksis:Indledning
No full textLedelse italesættes i bl.a. ledelseslitteraturen ud fra mange forskellige perspektiver, der naturligvis er præget af deres samtid og det udgangspunkt, forfatteren har. Hidtil har ledelseslitteraturen hovedsageligt fokuseret på, hvad lederen bør beskæftige sig med og hvordan lederens position kan understøttes og styrkes. I den traditionelle ledelsesforståelse etableres fortællingen om ledelse som det, der sikrer udvikling og overlevelse for såvel organisation som organisationsmedlemmer. Ledelse bliver i dette perspektiv det, der driver organisationen frem mod succes, udvikling og overlevelse. Disse fortællinger skabes på baggrund af ledelsesmetaforer som f.eks. den ”stærke mand”, ”styrmanden” og ”hærføreren”. Det er alle ledelsesbilleder, der iscenesætter lederen som en person, der besidder særlige kompetencer og, præcis som Janus, evner at skabe et altseende eller omnipotent perspektiv. I fyrstespejl, som f.eks. Machiavellis ”Fyrsten”, Platons ”Statsmanden”, Taylors ”The Principles of Scientific Management” og Fayols ”General and Industrial Management”, har ledelse og ledelsesforskningen således koncentreret sig om ledelsestyper, god/rigtig ledelse, management/organisering og arbejdsdeling, ledelsestekniske værktøjer, beslutningsmodeller, kontrolsystemer, strategi etc.<br/
Ræven som ledelsesmetafor
No full textDet egentlige omdrejningspunktet for artiklen er, at ledelsesmetaforer kan have en central betydning for arbejdet med at forstå og udvikle organisationers ledelse. Medarbejdere og ledere er, jf. Kirkeby (2001, p. 210), styret af en række metaforiske vaner, der har indflydelse på deres organisatoriske hverdagsliv. I kapitlet ønsker vi derfor at afdække ledelsesmetaforerne i en konkret organisation for a) at afklare om de (jf. Kirkeby, 2006, p. 205) kan virke ”som et redskab for erkendelsen” samt b) for at afklare om de (jf. Oberlechner & Mayer-Schoenberger, 2002), også kan danne udgangspunkt for organisations- og ledelsesudvikling
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
