This article examines the negotiation of organizational tensions by purpose-driven consultancies, for-profit firms also motivated by social change agendas in their implementation of organizational development for corporate clients. Using two case studies – APCom training ethical corporate leaders, and GreenD communicating environmental sustainability programs – we trace how such consultancies negotiate these tensions, and how their underlying purpose might accordingly transform. Our multi-case study suggests two broad tensions related to purpose and impact that are experienced in context-specific ways by the consultancies. Although members sought to frame these tensions in positive ways, as complementary dialectics or contradicting the dominant capitalist system, they were also at risk of devolving into more paradoxical contradictions and even debilitating double binds, without sustained discussion to ‘repurpose’ the firms. We close by discussing theoretical and practical implications for purpose-driven consultancies, given that their pursuit of social change is often at odds with the status quo. 相似文献

There is considerable research work on the performance assessment of eGovernment projects, especially on performance assessment measures per se. The point that the authors in this paper make is that while a variety of performance assessment measures are important for evaluation of eGovernment projects, performance itself is intended to relate governance with eGovernment applications. Thus, while developing performance assessment measures, there is a need to be conscious of governance as the ultimate purpose. Taking the Indian Police Administration as its domain, this paper demonstrates how performance assessment can be so conceived as to help capture the impact of eGovernment in regard to implications for governance in the given domain. 相似文献

This article examines how power imbalances influence the formation of student voice initiatives, which are defined as school-based
youth–adult partnerships that consist of youth and adults contributing to decision making processes, learning from one another,
and promoting change. Using the concept of community of practice as a lens, the paper examines the ways in which power influences the mutual engagement, shared repertoire, and joint enterprise
of youth–adult partnerships. Specifically, the study finds that the following strategies can strengthen student voice initiatives:
building meaningful roles based upon mutual responsibility and respect among all members; developing shared language and norms,
and developing joint enterprises aimed at fostering voices that have previously been silenced from decision making and knowledge-building
processes.

The number of women attending institutions of higher education in Iran has been steadily increasing since 1989. Growing enrollment
rates for women in colleges and universities have sparked wide social and political debates in that country. The basic question
of why young Iranian women might even choose to pursue tertiary education, however, has not been adequately addressed in the
critical literature. This study gives voice to young women who explain for themselves why they are interested in higher education.
It reveals that college or university studies represent for female students many things: a sphere of hope, a refuge, and a
place to experience limited freedom beyond restrictive family environments; an asset that can increase a woman’s value in
the marriage market; a right that may make possible financial independence; and a vehicle that can earn respect for women.
On the whole, the desire for higher education illuminates the challenges facing women in Muslim nations and the ways in which
Muslim women are using this institution to change their social status. 相似文献

Several techniques are available for implementing a scalar digital filter using lattice and ladder structures which are known to yield low noise realizations. Of these, the lattice and ladder structures proposed by Gray and Markel have the advantage of being internally scaled. Block implementation of a scalar digital filter offers a number of advantages. In this paper, new algorithms to realize block digital filters in the form of cascaded lattice or ladder two-pairs are proposed. Block lattice and ladder structures similar to Gray and Markel's scalar structure are obtained by using Levinson recursion. Also, normalized block lattice and ladder structures are developed. 相似文献

ABSTRACTPurpose: The present study aims to determine and compare the views of directors and users of public libraries on the use of social media for the marketing of library services.Methodology: Data collection was done through two researcher-made questionnaires, one from the viewpoints of directors and one investigating the views of users. The questionnaires’ validity was done by four libraries and Information Science professionals, and the reliability was determined by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The statistical population of this research is made up of all directors and users of 12 public libraries of the city of Isfahan, one of the largest cities in Iran.Findings: In users’ viewpoints, the “interaction capability” is the most important feature that social media marketing can have in libraries. From the viewpoints of the directors, “creating a true picture of the role of the library” and “informing users about library services” are among the most important reasons for the marketing of libraries in the social media. From the perspective of both groups, the Telegram is the most appropriate medium for the marketing of library services.Results: To maintain their customers and their market position, libraries need to use more exciting tools such as social media for marketing. Library directors of this study emphasized on this fact and 79.1% of users expressed interest in receiving library information through social media.Value: The findings of this study would help the library directors to better decide on the marketing of their library services in social media.Type of the study: Scientific-Research 相似文献

Leadership development (LD) activity and its effectiveness has not been explored rigorously across changing university settings globally. As Higher Education settings change radically throughout the world, Higher Education professionals are operating in more uncertain environments, and leaders are taking increasingly complex and diverse approaches to their leadership roles. LD activities therefore become important in supporting this highly complex context, yet little is known in the literature about LD and its impact in Higher Education. We examine peer‐reviewed work on LD in Higher Education settings globally to understand what may be learned about its content, processes, outcomes and impact. Our results suggest the current literature is small‐scale, fragmented and often theoretically weak, with many different and coexisting models, approaches and methods, and little consensus on what may be suitable and effective in the Higher Education context. We reflect on this state of play and develop a novel theoretical approach for designing LD activity in Higher Education institutions. 相似文献
