    (How) does knowledge flow? : a critical analysis of intra-organizational knowledge transfer

    No full text
    In this chapter, we argue that the discourse of knowledge transfer in organizational studies fails to record in the manner in which this transfer is implicated in the historical experiences of power differences and economic imbalances that undergrid the international encounter. The chapter draws on an empirical study of several months conducted by the first author in India, an ethnographic examination of the work practices of the subsidiary of a large US-based multinational corporation (MNC), which we have named Chloron Corporation. This chapter is a story of our attempts to make sense of the sea of data collected during this endeavour, through analysis of a single episode of knowledge transfer. The rest of the chapter is organized in three sections. In the first, we critically survey the representations of knowledge transfer in organizational research. We then present empirical research conducted at Chloron, to highlight the complete disjuncture between the theoretical descriptions of knowledge transfer and the empirical realities of corporate experience. In the final section, we theoretically analyze the research vignette to arrive at a different approach to knowledge transfer than that of mainstream research

    Performing the comic side of bodily abjection: A study of twenty-first century female stand-up comedy in a multi-cultural and multi-racial Britain

    This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This thesis is a socio-cultural study of the development of female stand-up comedy in the first decade of the twenty-first century within a multi-racial and multi-cultural Britain. It also engages with the theory and practice of performance and asks the question: ‘In what ways can it be said that female stand-up comics perform the comic side of bodily abjection?’ This question is applied to three groups of female case-studies which include: those who came into stand-up comedy in the 1980s; second-generation transnationals who became established at the end of the twentieth century; and twenty-first century newcomers to stand-up comedy. This third group also includes the author of this thesis who uses her own embodied experience as research, and Lynne Parker whose Funny Women organization was set up in 2002 to facilitate female entry into stand-up comedy. Alongside these three groups the subject of females as audience of female stand-up comedy is also explored. The issue of bodily abjection is explored in relation to seminal works on abjection by Julia Kristeva (1982) and Mary Douglas (1966) and regarding theories of the grotesque as posited by Mikhail Bakhtin (1984) and Mary Russo (1995). These texts are used in this thesis to argue that abjection is a significant aspect of both the context and content of contemporary female stand-up comedy and that the orifices, surfaces and processes of the body are still pertinent to twenty-first century female stand-up comedy

    AbstractThe concept of community resilience is one of popular approaches in disaster risk reduction. Eruptions of Mt Merapi in 2010 raised death toll reaching 377 people, resulting in loss of material at least Rp 3.56 T and the largest eruption in the first period of the last century. This study analyzes the community resilience in a high hazard area. The research question is how is community resilience of Kaliadem, Jambu and Petung post-Merapi eruption 2010. This study used Pasteur Framework to analyze the data. Based on research findings, the community have 13 of the 16 indicators of resilience. As the result, community from Kaliadem, Jambu and Petung villages have resilience to face the hazard of post-eruption of Mt Merapi 2010

    Environmental air samples were analyzed for methyl-isobutyl-ketone (108101), toluene (108883), aliphatic-naphthas, acetone (67641), and wood dust at Utefab, Limited (SIC-2541), in Fort Duchesne, Utah on September 13 to 15, 1976. A representative of the Indian Health Service requested the evaluation on behalf of approximately 40 workers. All organic vapor concentrations were well within the OSHA standards of 1000 parts per million (ppm), 100ppm, 100ppm, 200 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/cu m), and 5mg/cu m for acetone, methyl-isobutyl-ketone, toluene, aliphatic-naphtha, and wood dust, respectively. One sander was exposed to excessive wood dust concentrations. The author recommends hearing protection for table saw workers, implementation of engineering controls to reduce dust concentrations for the sander, cleaning of the paint storage room, and other general safety measures

    Environmental and breathing zone air samples were analyzed for ozone (10028156) at Mountain Bell (SIC-4811) in Fort Collins, Colorado on November 14 and 20, and December 10, 1980. The evaluation was requested by the management to determine the potential exposure of two workers. Ozone measurements taken at two copy machines during the first two surveys revealed trace quantities of ozone of less than 0.2 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/cu m). Long term air samples taken during the third survey after ventilation systems were installed revealed ozone concentrations below the laboratory detection limit of 0.001mg/cu m. The author concludes that a health hazard from ozone exposure did not exist at the time of the survey. He recommends the installation of additional ventilation systems on other copying machines in poorly ventilated rooms
