Neuromanagement: actualización de la metáfora “organización como cerebro” de Gareth Morgan (1986)
No full textlas nuevas teorías sobre gestión organizacional giran en torno al entendimiento
del individuo y su interacción dentro de la organización con el fin de hacer
más efectivos cada uno de los procesos que se llevan a cabo para el cumplimiento de
su objetivo. Este artículo busca hacer una revisión bibliográfica para actualizar y
profundizar en la evolución de la metáfora de organización como cerebro expuesta
por Gareth Morgan en 1986, llegando a relacionarla con la corriente en el campo
de la gestión denominada neuromanagement. En el desarrollo del artículo se presta
especial atención a tres temas de gran importancia para hacer el símil: aprendizaje
individual y organizacional, coeficiente intelectual (CI) y la relación neurotransmisores
- cultura organizacional. Finalmente, se exponen los impactos del uso de esta
metáfora en la gestión de las organizaciones.

Expanding debate: radical critiques of United States imperialism during the Cold War
No full textThis thesis is a detailed account of how radical critiques of American imperialism evolved during the Cold War. Due to the United States' anti-imperial heritage (which was enshrined by the War of Independence against the British Empire), American scholars have not always been candid about the United States global role. Instead, orthodox historians often portrayed US expansion in philanthropic terms, whilst ignoring the imperial dimensions of American diplomacy. The radical Left, on the other hand, appeared to be immune from contemporary intellectual currents. Instead, left wing scholars aroused considerable controversy by making notions of American 'empire' and 'imperialism' the cornerstones of their often highly critical interpretations of US foreign policy. This thesis will explain how these radicals used imperialism as an intellectual prism through which they interpreted American history. Whilst some scholars merely used the word 'imperialism' as a political stick with which to beat US policymakers, the authors examined here presented complex critiques of American empire that embraced diverse phenomena such as economic, political, ideological and cultural expansion. Although orthodox critics dismissed left wing dissidents as mere economic determinists (thus grouping them together), this thesis will demonstrate that radical critiques were actually more heterogeneous and sophisticated than liberals liked to think. Furthermore, these radical interpretations evolved over time in significant ways - and eventually made a vital contribution to the historiography of US foreign relations The study of imperialism undoubtedly provides an excellent interpretative prism through which the actions of great powers can be analysed. This thesis will serve diplomatic history by exploring the debate on US imperialism and by revealing how concepts of American empire developed during the twentieth century. The following pages will also help scholars to place more recent critiques of United States imperialism in their true historiographical context.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
A DOMINAÇÃO NO ÂMBITO DAS ORGANIZAÇÕES COM A PERSPECTIVA DE ARTIGOS REFERENCIADOS NA OBRA DE GARETH MORGAN
No full textAs relações de dominação e trabalho cumprem papeis condescendentes nas organizações, trazendo para os dias atuais a sua essência na gestão contemporânea. Este estudo procurou estudar a teoria da dominação nas organizações apresentada por meio de metáfora por Gareth Morgan, no livro Imagens da Organização, propondo uma discussão sobre o entendimento do ponto de vista de outros autores. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar, através da uma revisão sistemática, de como a dominação está sendo abordada no ponto de vista de autores da atualidade e traçar uma relação com o autor Morgan em uma forma de figura conceitual. A metodologia é de cunho qualitativo descritivo, e estruturada por meio de mineração de dados textuais. Conclui-se que a dominação e a organização têm relação com paradigma do trabalho, e as pessoas que nele estão inseridos continuam subjugadas pelo poder dentro de uma organização, permanecendo e se ampliando em diversos campos, como um paradigma humano no plano organizacional.Palavras-chave: Dominação; Pessoas; Organizações.ABSTRACTDominance and work meetings play the patronizing roles in organizations, bringing to the present day their essence in managing things. This study was developed by Gareth Morgan, a group of teaching organizations, with a discussion on the topic of the book view of other authors. The objective of this study is to investigate, through a systematic review, a way that is being approached from the point of view of current authors and a relationship with the author Morgan in a conceptual figure form. The methodology is descriptive qualitative, and is structured through the mining of textual data. It is concluded that domination and information have access with the paradigm of work, and how people who are inserted are continuous subjugated by the power within an organization, remaining and expanding in fields, as a human paradigm without organizational plan.Keywords: Domination; People; Organizations
Organising Chemical Reaction Networks in Space and Time with Microfluidics
No full textInformation processing is essential for any lifeform to maintain its organisation despite continuous entropic disturbance. Macromolecules provide the ubiquitous underlying substrate on which nature implements information processing and have also come into focus for technical applications. There are two distinct approaches to the use of molecules for computing. Molecules can be employed to mimic the logic switches of conventional computers or they can be used in a way that exploits the complex functionality offered by a molecular computing substrate. Prerequisite to the latter is a mapping of the versatile means to achieve this. In the present paper we review microfluidic technology as a versatile means to achieve this, show how we use it, and provide proven recipes for its application
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
