From Agents to Principles: The Changing Relationship between Hospitalist Identity and Logics of Health care
No full textInstitutional logics and collective identities are closely intertwined: logics shape the emergence and evolution of identities, which in turn play a crucial role in mediating the influence of the logics themselves. Though there exists a significant body of research on the intersection of the two phenomena, relatively little attention has been given to changes in the strength, content, and permanence of particular logic???identity associations. In this paper we explore empirically the question of whether and how a logic and identity may become severed, through an inductive case study of the development of the hospitalist identity in health care in the United States. Based on this study, we propose a set of mechanisms through which the distancing of a logic and an identity may occur. We also discuss potential counterfactual outcomes, in order to build theory regarding the longitudinal relationship between logics and identities

US Politics in The Purge Franchise: Challenging the Coloniality of Power
No full textAuthor: Lizbette Ocasio-Russe Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi Download PDF version While the United States has come a long way since lawful slavery and colonial conquest, it’s no secret there are still hierarchical power structures that benefit some and oppress others. This is exactly what The Purge franchise rages against by sharply commenting on the current sociopolitical state of American society, one that is still characterized by racial and economic oppression rooted in Euro-c..
Ant colonies: building complex organizations with minuscule brains and no leaders
No full textThus far the articles in the series JOD calls the “Organization Zoo” have employed the notion of a “zoo” metaphorically to describe an array of human institutions. Here we take the term literally to consider the design of the most complex organizations in the living world beside those of humans, a favorite of insect zoos around the world: ant colonies. We consider individuality and group identity in the functioning of ant organizations; advantages of a flat organization without hierarchies or leaders; self-organization; direct and indirect communication; job specialization; labor coordination; and the role of errors in innovation. The likely value and limitations of comparing ant and human organizations are briefly examined
Entrepreneurial Orientation and Performance: Investigating Local Requirements for Entrepreneurial Decision-Making
No full textAnimating the Green New Deal: “A Message from the Future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez”
No full textThis post considers the cultural work taken up in the animated short A Message from the Future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (2019, dir. Crabapple, Lewis & Feeney). Understood here as creative practices that support dominant structures and ideologies, or which offer alternative ways of seeing, feeling, and acting in the world, “cultural work” operates at the intersection of art and politics (Banks, 2007). Presented by author and activist Naomi Klein, in association with the online news outlet The Intercept, the film illustrates what American society would look like, decades from now, when the Green New Deal has radically transformed not only our habitat but also our entire way of life.
In what follows, I examine the discursive strategies and practices employed by this animated film, with an eye toward evaluating the political value of “critical utopianism” (Ashcroft, 2007) in the face of climate catastrophe. Doing so, I consider how, and to what ends, this “media intervention” (Howley, 2013) into the politics of climate change taps a rich vein in utopian thought. Throughout, I highlight the vital but frequently overlooked role cultural workers play in articulating a radical and relentlessly hopeful vision for a more just, equitable, and sustainable society
Exploring the role of objects in the transformation of logics: a practice perspective
No full textThis article aims to examine the role of objects in the transformation of logics (Thornton & Ocasio, 2008) at the practice level. In particular, it explores how financial actors use, transform and are constrained by their 'market devices' - defined as a range of instruments, models and tools used by financial markets (Callon, Millo, & Muniesa, 2007) - when aiming to (re)design their logics and practices towards more sustainability. It develops a theoretical model based on ever expanding, institutional theory by combining it with practice theories. In particular, the article argues that actors transform their practices, logics and objects, by transforming an epistemic object through a collective inquiry. Empirical support is drawn from a three-year ethnography study of a French asset management company that attempted to (re)design its equity investment process, following new demands for Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). Research methods combine participative observation, semi-structured interviews and documentary evidence. Theoretical andmethodological contributions are outlined for both institutional and practice theories.Inquiry ; Logics ; Objects ; Practices ; Pragmatism
About California's Fast Food Accountability Standards and Recovery Act - #Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W Case Study in the Matter of Jovanna Edge et al v City of Everett, Washington - #Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
No full textIn response to a Public Records Act (PRA) request submitted about the working conditions of tipped workers in the accommodation and food services (AFS) sector, the City of Cupertino (California) have disclosed records of their Ordinance numbered 16 – 2151, which recognizes that [1] payment of a minimum wage advances the interests of the City of Cupertino, California; [2] a minimum wage will enable a worker to meet basic needs and avoid economic hardships; [3] increasing the minimum wage to 2.13 but below the binding state regular minimum wage – 46.4 percent of the overall workforce and 49.4 percent of tipped workers reside in these states. Approximately one-third of all tipped workers reside in states with a 15/hour for all workers (whether or not they are/were previously employed in the AFS sector).
The AACL unequivocally condemns discrimination on the bases of gender, racial background, sexual orientation, national origin, religious affiliation and/or disability status. The AACL is very much a proponent of increasing the federal minimum wage to 15/hour may not be enough for all people in the AFS sector to live comfortably out of poverty given the ever-increasing cost of living standards as well as the current global economic inflation. The AACL is also conscientious that single unmarried waitresses and female bartenders with a child (or more than one child) will be the most adversely impacted by the ever-increasing cost of living standards as well as the current global economic inflation. Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.
