Flying around the globe and bringing business back home
No full textFor many managers and professional today, to work is to travel. The variety of purposes and functions that travel enables for business encompasses almost every dimension of business and management and is therefore a very complex feature of business practice. Business travel is now so interwoven with doing business that its apparent continued growth is a matter of common sense. Yet paradoxically, these same business travellers are also intensive users of communication technology (phone fax, e-mail, etc), many will use web based technologies to locate information and even do business, while some will use information technologies to work together with colleagues in distant physical locations. Why then the need for physical travel?
Rather than taking the growth of travel for granted, a sociology of business travel could explore those factors that make business more or less travel-intensive. Just as some forms of economic growth are more energy-intensive than others, just as some cities (with the same overall income levels) are more car dependent than others (Wickham, forthcoming), so some forms of business are presumably more travel-intensive than others. A few years ago such a question would have been ‘academic’, but today there is increasing awareness of the negative environmental consequences of hyper-mobility, and in particular of the contribution of air travel to global warming. Against this background, the research project from which this paper derives examines business travel from two separate angles. Firstly, we ask about the factors that generate business travel, and secondly we address the implications of business travel for the Irish software cluster in Dublin. This paper is based on preliminary work on these two topics
Conclusion: what workers say in the Anglo-American World
No full textOur project has analyzed worker preferences for workplace voice across the major advanced Anglo-American economics. This book carries forward the idea that motivated Freeman and Rogers's (1999) What Workers want: to identify what workers seek in voice at their workplace and to gauge the extent to which labor institutions deliver that voice. ...http://librarysearch.auckland.ac.nz/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?fn=search&doc=uoa_voyager1727131&vid=UOA2_
Employee voice and voicelessness in New Zealand
No full textNew Zealand is small country with a very tractable legislative framework for industrial relations. The system's pliability is presently helping to narrow the gap between the voice most workers want and the voice they have. New Zealand workers report high levels of employment satisfaction. ...http://librarysearch.auckland.ac.nz/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?fn=search&doc=uoa_voyager1727131&vid=UOA2_
Introduction: the Anglo-American economies and employee voice
No full textThis book is about employee voice in the workplaces of the highly developed Anglo-American economics: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. These are among the most economically successful countries in the world. ...http://librarysearch.auckland.ac.nz/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?fn=search&doc=uoa_voyager1727131&vid=UOA2_
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
