Impact and management studies: why making practical impact is not a core academic expectation
No full textLately, a new set of expectations is being formed for academics by various stakeholders, that is, to generate “impact” on practice, in addition to their main roles of conducting research, making academic contributions, and teaching. We challenge the legitimacy of this expectation. Further, we argue that there should be major differences between primary and secondary impact. The impact of new academic knowledge on practice tends to be indirect, and sometimes it takes a long time to materialize, and indeed the impact of most management research cannot be precisely attributed to the work of a single person or team. Furthermore, the new direction and expectation of governments and funding bodies regarding impact on practice might work against some of the basic principles of academia, not least academic freedom itself as a cornerstone of the profession. Arising from this, we call for a reconsideration of the formal requirements of further responsibility and pressure on academics. In making this call, we do not argue against engagement, involvement, and collaboration with industry, or knowledge implementation for organizations, but offer a view on what may be an appropriate expectation set from academe
Outsourcing and offshoring to India
No full textWith an average growth of GDP of 6.2 per cent (in the last decade), an inter - national exchange seven times larger than in 1991 and a value of investments more than thirty times greater, India is the second best economy in the world (after China) for its growth rate (Nassimbeni and Sartor, 2008). In fact India’s GDP at 9.4 per cent was the second fastest-growing GDP after China in 2007-08. As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s actual outbound foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2007-08 was an estimated US 13,454 million in the previous fiscal year (NASSCOM1 Newsline, 2008). India is the fifth largest economy on basis of GDP calculated on purchasing power parity (PPP) basis (CIA, 2009). One of the key industries that have propelled this rise and growth is that of information technology (IT). It includes a vast range of activities, from IT-enabled services (ITes) to development and maintenance of software. What was, at first, the externalization of singlular activities has now become a phenomenon involving entire processes: business process outsourcing (BPO)
Brain drain: Inclination to stay abroad after studies
No full text‘Brain drain’ is a phenomenon in which people of a high level of skills, qualifications, and competence, leave their countries and emigrate. One major case of the brain drain happens when students from developing countries studying in the developed countries decide not to return home after their studies. We examined the reasons for international students’ inclination to stay in their host countries in a sample of 949 management students who came to study in the United Kingdom and the United States. The results support a three-fold model of factors that influenced this inclination. Students’ perceptions of ethnic differences and labor markets, their adjustment process to the host country, and their family ties in host and home countries all affect their intention to stay

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
