A Study of the main character's misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman as seen in Daniel Defoe's the history of Colonel Jacque
No full textThis thesis is concerned with a study of the main character's, Colonel Jacque's, misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman in Daniel Defoe's The History of Colonel Jacque. In this thesis, the thesis writer needs to know the factor that causes Colonel Jacque's misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman, and his idea about what a gentleman is. To analyze the novel, the thesis writer uses library research, consists of critics' opinions, the idea of being a gentleman and also some data about the novel and the author; and literary approach concerning characterization. In the analysis, the thesis writer assumes that Colonel Jacque's innocence is the factor that leads him to his misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman. Because of his innocence, he knows nothing of the idea of being a gentleman. His misconception of the idea of being a complete gentleman is shaped as he wants to be a gentleman; while on the other hand, he does not know the proper manners owned by a complete gentleman. His innocence makes him take every action he considers as the attitude possessed by a gentleman. He does not know whether the action is really not the proper attitude possessed by a true gentleman
Local government chief executives’ everyday hauntings : towards a theory of organizational ghosts
No full textThis paper develops a theory of organizational ghosts, a concept that describes the haunted and burdensome aspects of organizational life and in particular of leadership action. The concept of organizational ghosts is not offered as yet another metaphor, a lens through which to analyse particular organizations. Rather, I offer my discussion of ghosts as a theoretical concept that explains how inheritances of the past haunt the relations and struggles of the present. I tell a ghostly tale of the everyday leadership and learning practices of UK local government chief executives, and provide an exploration of organizational ghosts as a contribution to the growing interest in the action in the shadows, atmospheres, margins and boundaries of organizations. Drawing upon an ethnographic study of UK local councils, and embracing the multiplicity and heterogeneity of organizational ghosts, the paper considers the theoretical, political and ethical stakes involved in taking ghosts seriously. Its contribution is to show how ghosts are insinuated in organizations and to highlight leaders as figures who are both willing agents and uneasy hosts of hauntings, and to point to the mediating role of leaders in handling confrontations between the past, the present and the future.Peer reviewe

No full textManagement of Foreign Exchange Risk: A Review Article
No full textThis paper reviews the literature on Foreign Exchange Risk Management (FERM) which has burgeoned during the last decade. Scholars' and practioners' emerging interest in Foreign Exchange Risk Management was spurred by the advent of fluctuating exchange rates in the early seventies as well as by the pronouncement of the infamous FASB Statement No. 8 in 1976 which laid down unambiguous guidelines for consolidating financial statements of multinational corporations. A normative (rather than a market) view of Foreign Exchange Risk Management is taken and accordingly the author reviews first the two key informational inputs necessary for any Foreign Exchange Risk Management program: forecasting exchange rates and measuring exposure to exchange risk. Available decision models for handling transaction and translation exposures are reviewed next. A concluding section identifies gaps in the existing literature and suggests directions for future research.© 1981 JIBS. Journal of International Business Studies (1981) 12, 81–101
Recovering the Archive and Finding Forgiveness in Park’s \u3cem\u3eThe Truth Commissioner\u3c/em\u3e
No full textIn her article “Recovering the Archive and Finding Forgiveness in Park’s The Truth Commissioner,” the author utilizes Jacque Derrida\u27s theories about the function of archivization and the “impossible madness” of pure forgiveness to examine how these issues are addressed in post peace process Troubles fiction, focusing specifically on David Park\u27s 2008 novel The Truth Commissioner. Park\u27s text provides a particularly relevant example of the tension that Derrida outlines between the need for an unconditional, pure, and hyperbolic forgiveness and the conditional, judicial forgiveness that he associates with the truth recovery process
From Civil Religion to Presidential Public Theology : A re-evaluation of the American Civil Religion Phenomenon. The Case of George H.W. Bush
No full textSince the inauguration of the civil religion debate in the United States in 1967, it has been argued that the religious dimension of American presidency should be understood as a kind of civil religion, normally based upon the definition of Jean Jacque Rousseau, or variations of this his definition. However, in this article the author argues, based upon the empirical material presented in Public Papers of the President and elsewhere, that a more accurate description of the religion dimension of some modern presidencies is public theology. He uses the presidency of George H. W. Bush as a case study.</p
