On the eve of World War I, scientific management became the first big management fad, a source of innumerable new truths about work and its organization, all of which were oriented to the efficiency of the individual human body. At the same time a revolution in manufacturing also occurred when Henry Ford introduced the assembly line, modeled on the Chicago slaughterhouses (see Upton Sinclair's 1906 ethnographic novel,The Jungle). In the abattoirs each job was separated into a series of simple repetitive actions as the bodies moved down the line to be progressively dismembered; in Ford the car was built on the same principles that the hog was butchered.

What is the religious or spiritual significance of the Australian natural environment to non-Indigenous Australians? This question is asked in relation to the parklands along the Georges River, in south-western Sydney, and some of the ethnic groups who live in the 'social catchment' of these parklands. The post-Reformation rationalist Christianity of Anglo-Celtic migrants led to a degree of institutional religious disengagement with nature, a disenchantment of places, that may tend to obscure the spiritual tone of the relationship that many Anglo-Australians clearly do have with the natural environment. Migrants from East Asia can be seen to be drawing their cultural links closer to the natural landscape as it exists in and around Sydney by engaging this landscape with wider narratives of emplaced spiritual presence. This situation is evident in the construction of Buddhist forest monasteries, the practice of meditation in the bush and in the mapping of geomantic forces and flows.

In this paper, we propose an understanding of what personnel professionals consume when they “adopt” black‐box management initiatives (Scarbrough, 1995; Wilson, 1992). Second, we explore the way in which professional associations and, hence, institutional actors pursue their own professional projects (Abbott, 1988) within a context of political legitimacies and illegitimacies. Thus, in a double move, we seek to explore the linkages between managerial methods used by institutions to increase their jurisdiction or their “authority to speak” (Foucault, 1972) and the processes of isomorphism.

The recent introduction of written 'compacts' between government and community services organisations (CSOs) in Australia offers the promise of meaningful co-production of policy. However, recent research has highlighted that many in the community sector continue to perceive that there are significant constraints on their capacity to engage in advocacy. This article examines the impact of the current governance regimes on the Australian community sector and explores the dimensions of these perceived constraints. The article argues that both government and community sectors must make concessions and adjustments. Governments must accept that the use of contracting monopolies to stifle advocacy has weakened their capacity to deliver responsive services, while community organisations must accept that new governance regimes require new modes of participation in the policy process.

The paper takes the assumptions of bounded rationality as the premise for organization theorizing. It draws a distinction between a science of objects and a science of subjects, arguing the latter as the more appropriate frame for organization analysis. Organization studies, it suggests, are an example of the type of knowledge that Flyvbjerg, following Aristotle, terms 'phronesis'. At the core of phronetic organization studies, the paper argues, there stands a concern with power, history and imagination. The core of the paper discusses power and the politics of organizing, to point up some central differences in approach to the key term in the trinity that the paper invokes. The paper concludes that organization theory and analysis is best cultivated not in an ideal world of paradigm consensus or domination but in a world of discursive plurality, where obstinate differences in domain assumptions are explicit and explicitly tolerated. A good conversation assumes engagement with alternate points of view, argued against vigorously, but ultimately, where these positions pass the criteria of reason rather than prejudice, tolerated as legitimate points of view. In so doing, it elaborates and defends criteria of reason. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Organization theory has, on the whole, failed to adequately address the role that organizations have played in some of the crimes of humanity. The tools to do so have long been available to the discipline, in work by scholars such as Goffman on total institutions, Foucault on disciplinary mechanisms, and Bauman on the Holocaust. The article retrieves the work of these scholars to raise some important questions left begging by much contemporary scholarship.

Over the past decades there have been persistent radical critiques of management. Previously the goal was to apply forms of Marxian analysis to the world of management and organizations, usually seeing it as a sphere of false consciousness, distorted and unreflective practices, and three-dimensional power or hegemony. Surprisingly, even after the Marxist scaffoldings that supported such claims have been deconstructed - both practically and theoretically - there are still current contributions to management thought that seek to resuscitate the same critiques, often under the rubric of Critical Management Studies. These representations seem increasingly bizarre, given the theoretical currents emanating from post-structuralist and postmodern thought that have been emergent in recent years, associated ideas such as polyphony, difference, deconstruction and translation. In this article we draw on these sources to produce a different representation of management - one that we would argue acts as an effective counter-factual to that which provides support to some of the central tendencies manifest in critical approaches to management. Rather than seeing modern management as necessarily a totalitarian practice, one that should necessarily be subject to a negative critique, we would argue that, at its best, it enables polyphony rather than tyranny, and the possibility to be both critical and for management.

Modern management theory often forgets more than it remembers. ‘What's new?’ is the refrain. Yet, we suggest, there is much that we should already know from which we might appropriately learn, ‘Lest we forget’. The current paper takes its departure from two points of remembrance that bear on the sustained assaults on bureaucracy that have been unleashed by the critiques of recent years. These critiques include the new public management literature as well as its inspiration in the new literature of cultural entrepreneurialism. Both promise to dissolve bureaucracy's iron cage. We explain, using the classical political themes of oligarchy, democracy, and the production of elite power, why we should consider such transubstantiation alchemical by confronting contemporary discussions with the wisdom of an earlier, shrewder knowledge, whose insights we need to recall to understand the complexity of the hybridizations between supposedly opposite models of organizations.

We discuss why surprises, defined as events that happen unexpectedly or expected events that take unexpected shapes, are important to organizations and should be considered in the organization and management literature as an umbrella concept, encompassing a variety of related phenomena. The concept of organizational surprises is unpacked and a typology is built around the (un)expectedness of the issue and the (un)expectedness of the process. This typology uncovers the several types of surprising events that organizations may face, and contributes to the literature by identifying how different types of surprises require distinct managerial approaches. © 2005 British Academy of Management.

PurposeThis paper addresses the reasons why Chinese businesses have long been identified as subordinate to world‐class brand owners; why “global” own brand developments are considered to be beyond their competence.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, we use an institutional perspective to examine the difficulties faced by Chinese firms in own brand development, using empirical data derived from a research project into the business strategies of Hong Kong firms, and contrasting these with the case of what is one of China's most successful foreign ventures, Haier.FindingsThe familial form appears to be transforming, due to the employment of a growing stratum of professional middle managers and Chinese family business firms appear to be developing into fully functionally integrated hierarchies capable of product and market development of own branded products. Three institutional supports make this possible. First, the development of parts of the People's Republic of China (PRC) into a quasi‐market economy created a regionally close and large market. Second, technology transfers from leading overseas consumer product brand owners’ supported the development of more sophisticated products and firm capabilities. Third, a steady supply of skilled graduates from Hong Kong and the mainland enabled firms to move further up the value chain and exert more control over their manufacturing and related activities. To go truly global, however, more is required: social capital that connects the firm to the local and national party elites, something that mainland firms may find easier than those from Hong Kong.Research limitations/imp...

PurposeModern bureaucracies are under reconstruction, bureaucracy being no longer “modern”; they are becoming “post” bureaucratic. Defining the post‐bureaucratic organization as a hybrid form provides insight into the intrinsic difficulties involved in the refurbishment of large complex organizations. The purpose of this paper is to examine these difficulties empirically.Design/methodology/approachThe paper describes the case of an Australian public sector agency, subject to “corporatization” – a metamorphosis from a strictly public sector outlook to one that was imputedly more commercial. It focuses on the transition from personnel management to strategic HRM in the HR function.FindingsA series of difficulties affected these changes: difficulties in inventing a new identity; differences in perception of that identity; organizational philosophy towards strategic HRM; unsuitability of extent networks; and identity conflicts. Two factors emerge as the core explanation for the difficulties encountered: the “stickiness of identity” and the difficulties associated with network development.Originality/valueThe paper outlines the difficulties experienced in the putative “refurbishment” of a large public sector agency as it made its way to “corporatization”.

Literary approaches problematize the practice of knowing in relation to managing. Drawing on Kafka, Lyotard, Rorty and others, our overarching objective here is to widen and deepen linguistic approaches to management and organization studies. We elaborate the concept of the polyphonic organization: starting from Kafka's reading of the story of the Tower of Babel, we reflect on polyphony and, using Lyotard's concept of the différend, we explore the linguistic gaps that constitute the polyphonic organization. Interpreting these different language games as a driving force behind organizational sensemaking, we theorize on the connection between change, power and language. Management as a discursive practice focuses linguistically on deconstructing and translating between language games divided by the différend. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Objectives: The concept of retirement has been undergoing change, and opportunities for a variety of retirement lifestyle options are increasing. Retirement plans for one cohort are examined in this context. Method: Responses to a questionnaire of some 200 public-sector employees attending a retirement seminar were analysed by gender. Results: Findings suggest that both men and women viewed retirement as a positive experience, focusing on opportunities for further personal development. This approach was more evident among women. However, both men and women would prefer to maintain a form of reduced employment after retiring. There were no gender differences in reasons for retiring at that time, but those with partners were more likely to retire because of family responsibilities. Conclusions: Implications for theories of ageing and public policy are discussed. A more flexible approach to retirement policy is urged. Retirement may provide more opportunities for personal growth than decline. © 2006 COTA National Seniors Partnership.

A partir de uma crítica das bases epistemológicas e ontológicas do neo-institucionalismo, este artigo defende a potencialidade da aplicação da perspectiva pós-estruturalista, particularmente aquela apresentada por Michel Foucault, à abordagem institucional. Essa proposta teórica - que incorpora uma dimensão negligenciada nas análises institucionais, especialmente, no campo das organizações (o poder) - apresenta a vantagem de contribuir para uma melhor compreensão das dinâmicas de institucionalização. Para isso é preciso operar a partir da superação da dicotomia objetividade/subjetividade, tão presente nos estudos institucionais. Por fim, são rediscutidos os processos de institucionalização, tomando por base o novo referencial e destacando-se por que determinadas práticas se institucionalizam. Ao propor que os processos institucionais ocorrem dentro de campos discursivos, o argumento apresentado é o de que tais processos servem à produtividade das relações de poder nesses campos. Práticas que são institucionalizadas são práticas que funcionam, ou seja, práticas necessárias e úteis ao exercício do poder.

Shareholder, competitor and consumer pressures have motivated organisations to embrace various aspects of electronic business for the purposes of efficiency and effectiveness. The complex and rapidly changing montage of emerging and converging technologies, which together make up ebusiness capability at any point in time, inhibit the crystallisation of a clear model for managers to use. As electronic connections between customers and suppliers increase in frequency and complexity, research in this area is becoming increasingly important in an effort to better understand the impact electronic networks have on buyer-seller relationships and business networks. This paper examines recent exploratory research carried out with senior managers in the Australian telecommunications and banking industries in an effort to better understand perceptions of the impact of ebusiness developments on the effectiveness and efficiency of those industries and organisations at a point in time. Research findings are used as a basis for developing prescriptive guidelines. These guidelines take the form of a matrix, which is intended to guide the efforts for developing ebusiness capability according to strategic or operational initiatives.Journal of Database Marketing & Customer Strategy Management (2006)

AbstractThe transition from coursework study to independent research is a component of many geography Honours programs in Australian tertiary institutions. Despite being canvassed at the 2003 annual meeting of the Australian Heads of Geography Units, it is a topic that has, to date, received relatively little academic attention.This paper developed from a review of the Geography Honours program at the University of Sydney, conducted by the authors in early 2004. The paper aims to help address the perceived deficiency of research into Honours study. Three topics, related to the Honours year transition, are discussed. These are: the rationale for the Honours year transition from undergraduate coursework to research‐focussed study; the composition and rationale behind coursework programs for geography Honours students, and student‐supervisor relations and their impact on independent Honours research. In the process of examining these issues this paper offers suggestions as to how tertiary geography schools can look to develop their Honours year programs. These recommendations are made with the understanding that all tertiary Honours programs are unique and that issues such as staffing levels and departmental structure will influence what suggestions are appropriate for individual institutions. It is hoped that this paper will encourage more discussion about the nature of the Honours year. It is through such communication that the value of the Honours year in student development can be enhanced

Psychological contract theory is used here to explore the set of expectations and obligations that community sport club volunteers regard as part of their volunteering experience. In the first phase of the research, focus group interviews were conducted with 98 community sports club administrators about the methods used to manage volunteers and the organisational expectations of the volunteers. In phase two, 48 general volunteers were interviewed about their expectations and perceptions of the club's volunteer management practices. The findings indicate that club administrators and volunteers place different emphases on the transactional, assurance of good faith and fair dealing, and intrinsic job characteristic components of the psychological contract. Notably, club administrators had substantial expectations of volunteers in relation to adherence to professional, legal and regulatory standards. Volunteers were primarily concerned with doing rewarding work in a pleasant social environment that was able to fit within their often tight time restrictions. The implications of these findings for volunteer management processes and practice in community sport clubs are discussed.

It was contended that alternative research paradigms are needed to enrich the field and to provide new ways of seeing, researching and doing tourism. Decommodified research paradigms, based upon feminist theory, ecocentrism, community development and post-structuralism, were put forward as the contribution of NGOs in this area.

To Wearing and Wearing, operations of power between the culture of the tourist and that of the host enable hegemonic constructions of the host's culture. These sorts of constructions position the 'otherness' of hosts as inferior to the tourist's original culture, which is usually 'White' and 'infused with Western knowledge.' The authors maintain thereby that the tourist destination then generally becomes a place for the voyeuristic gaze of the tourist, which, at best, reduces the destination culture to an inferior exoticism.

Service organizations increasingly organize themselves and operate on a value chain level. This creates important challenges and opportunities, which call for a realignment of strategic focuses, in particular with respect to the impact of technovation on service creation and services modus operandi, their resulting service classification, and the restructuring amongst different service value chain industries. This research builds on a recently developed classification scheme, referred to as the Services Cubicle, that transcends current industry boundaries and includes upcoming service business trends in technovation. The paper subsequently illustrates a variety of service industry examples in order to clarify the resulting service classifications, taking into account deployment of varying degrees of technovation in that industry.

Within the Australian tourism industry, the prominent use of volunteers occurs in museums and art museums, botanic gardens, zoological parks and festivals and events. Large museums in urban environments, in particular, are heavily reliant on the continuous contribution of a large number of leisure seeking volunteers. These volunteers come from a wide cross section of the community but little is known about their values and commitment. Values are an important construct that offer insights into human belief and behaviour. In the workplace a person's values can influence job satisfaction, turnover and commitment. If museums can understand what volunteers' value in relation to their work then they can place volunteers in situations which will not be at odds with their values. The objective of this paper is to explore how different aspects of work are valued by museum volunteers and the influence these values have on volunteer commitment to the organizations they contribute to. This paper presents results of a study of volunteers at three large museums and art museums in Sydney and Canberra, Australia. Results found that these volunteers place a very high value on the work they do for the institution and their commitment to the institution is a combination of affective and continuance commitment. It also found that volunteer commitment is influenced by Pfeffer (1997) three conditions for commitment; choice, publicness and explicitness. The implications of these findings for volunteer management are discussed.

This paper explores how users' relationships to technology may impact processes of learning. In e-learning contexts, it is not only students' educational experiences which are being designed, but also their interaction with technology. Students have dual identities, as both learners and users. The paper reviews principles of usability in the discipline of human-computer interaction and its recommendations for facilitating ease-of-usc in systems. It compares this with educational literature on learning styles which suggests that 'deep' learning is not necessarily easy. The paper discusses the difficulties which arise in the context of e-learning, when the processes and practices of educational and technological design are conflated. That is, what happens when the user and learner arc one and the same, when systems are designed for learning, not just for use? Reviewing and juxtaposing literature from the disciplines of technology and educational design, the paper highlights differences in pedagogy and practice. In turn, it examines how these are manifest in IT students' perceptions of the role of technology in their own education. © 2006 IEEE.

This paper discusses the application of information and interaction design principles to the design of iTV (Interactive TV) applications. It details the authors' experiences of teaching a subject in Digital Information & Interaction Design as part of a postgraduate program in Interactive Multimedia. Students worked on a design project for a common client - Austar, a Subscription TV and iTV service provider in rural and regional Australia - in which they developed the information architecture and interaction for proposed new iTV applications.The paper begins by defining iTV in relation to the Subscription TV service offered by Austar. It will also contextualise this against other forms of iTV which exist but are not yet possible within the infrastructure available in Australia.iTV was chosen as a novel alternative to designing web interfaces. The students were more than familiar with designing for web environments. iTV presented students with a new technology which many had never experienced directly, as well as new challenges in learning about its constraints and possibilities.Finally, the paper details the design process undertaken by the students, and the difficulties faced in their attempts to translate and apply their knowledge of HCI and web design to the development of iTV interfaces.

One of the main limitations of the study of diasporas on the Internet is that it has been confined to a narrow socio-economic demographic within any ethnic minority group. It is often restricted to those who are advantaged in their capacity to become members of a diaspora through economic migration: those who study overseas and remain in the countries in which they were educated, working in the professions for which they have been highly trained (see Mitra 1997, Gajjala 1999, Melkote and Liu 2000, Mallapragada 2000). While the profile of cyberspace is not as white as once claimed, the microscope is still positioned squarely on the West, the affluent and the educated. However, diasporas are also constituted by those who are not so materially privileged, and whose situations are unstable in their symbolic homelands such that they are forced to migrate and seek asylum in other countries. Although the study of refugees is a discipline in its own right, there has been minimal examination of how they appropriate technology, particularly the Internet, to maintain connections with their virtual communities while in situations of displacement. The studies that have been undertaken concentrate on the use of technology by refugees living in the wider community (see Glazebrook 2004, McIver Jr and Prokosch 2002, Howard and Owens 2002), rather than in the context of detention. The paper discusses the author’s recent work with refugees in Australian immigration detention centres. It explores the range of technology available to detainees to communicate with the outside world as well as the constraints in the ways that they can be used. Specifically, it interrogates the policy of prohibiting access to the Internet while allowing a variety of ‘old media’ to be used by detainees. What does this intimate about the perceived dangers of ‘new media’?

Developing a sustainable rural tourism sector involves a holistic approach of ensuring economic, social and environmental values are realised. This requires an understanding of the stakeholders that develop rural tourism, consume rural tourism and contribute to sustainable rural tourism development. This paper investigates the development of a sustainable rural tourism sector in the Macarthur region, New South Wales, Australia. The purpose of this paper is to report on the application of a model that identifies the obstacles to sustainable rural tourism development. Results indicate that complex zoning, policy, and regulatory requirements are major barriers to sustainable rural tourism development. Comparisons with other studies are drawn and implications for sustainable rural tourism development are discussed.
