    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial and commercial training 36 (2004), S. 238-242

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: There is a paucity of information on student perceptions of favoritism in a training setting. The purpose of this study is to explore specific individual, situational, and relationship variables associated with student perceptions of favoritism in the business classroom. Respondents were asked to react to a series of vignettes involving student-initiated and trainer-initiated comparisons. Other relationships analyzed include the correlation between student self-esteem and favoritism, grade point average and perceived favoritism, etc. The study concludes with an assessment of the extent and magnitude of favoritism in the business classroom with recommendations for eliminating perceptions of partiality.

    The evolution of a university research department facilitated by a groupware system - Part 1: organizational growth, planning and learning (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Leadership & organization development journal 18 (1997), S. 201-210 
    Details
    ISSN: 0143-7739
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Presents an extended study of the transformation of a university research group into a learning organization. The transformation process was realized during the rapid development of a small group into a medium-sized organization through the addition of major projects, necessitating change from a hierarchy to a matrix organization. Central to the development of the organization and its learning ethos was the introduction of a hypermedia groupware system (PD1). Documents the cycles of evaluation and change up to assessment of PD1. Concludes that the evolutionary transformation of an organization can be a managed and a learning process, involving, and depending on, all participants and their constructive use of an enabling information technology infrastructure in a period of change and transition.

    Notes: Discusses how, in Part 1 the research group was at a "pioneering crisis" stage with considerable role and task ambiguity. An organizational development process was initiated aiming for greater systemization: a matrix structure was introduced and a groupware tool, the plan-document (PD1), was implemented, as part of the group's strategy to develop into a learning organization. States that the plan-document was designed to enable information sharing and co-ordination throughout the group, ranging over the short- and long-terms. Usage was, however, low and PD1 was not widely adopted, although usage varied according to timescales and the personal relevance of objectives. A second plan-document (PD2) was designed, aimed at being more "personal" and accessible, attuned to the new matrix structure and including reporting as well as planning functions. Looks at the introduction of PD2 and evaluates its contribution to the transition of the research group into both a systematized and a learning organization. Posits that groupware can go some way towards helping organizations meet the challenges of an uncertain environment through supporting open access between groups and individuals and fostering the group cohesiveness and interdependence.

    Job Rotation and Public Policy: Theory with Applications to Japan and the USA (1994)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Notes: Argues that the high job mobility observed most prominently amongworkers in Japanese firms is consistent with the behaviour ofrisk-averse individuals when neither private nor public income insuranceis widely available to displaced workers. Laissez faire is suboptimaland involves higher job mobility than is socially optimal. Publicprovision of income insurance yields a Pareto improvement and reducesjob rotation. Government job training schemes may push rotation levelseven higher than the levels under laissez faire and could, therefore, becounterproductive.

    The role of story-telling in organizational leadership (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Leadership & organization development journal 20 (1999), S. 11-17 
    Details
    ISSN: 0143-7739
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The importance of story-telling in organizational life has often been overlooked in contemporary organizational and leadership literature. Throughout history, leaders - political and religious - have used story-telling as a powerful motivational tool, particularly during times of uncertainty, change and upheaval or in response to crises. This article looks at the role of story-telling as an integral part of the human experience and at its applications in modern organizational life. The article concludes by suggesting that the art of story-telling is still, despite recent advances in communication technologies, an essential managerial skill - particularly for leaders of organizations.

    The decision to build and the organisation (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 20 (2002), S. 189-198 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: The decision to build initiates the development process. After taking account of all the factors it represents a decision to embark on a built solution to satisfy the organisation's strategic objectives. It is a decision that senior managers and members of the design team should be aware of, reflect on and consider why the decision to build was made in the first place. By understanding the history of the strategic decision the design team may be better able to respond to client requirements and opportunities by providing the most appropriate building. In practice, most participants in the design process are often divorced from the decision within the client organisation and may lack the necessary background information that informed, guided or forced the choice of a building solution. There is a dearth of well-documented material and literature on this key decision in the development process. The literature is sparse and that which does exist often ignores or only includes as a secondary issue the decision to build. The attitude is often one where the decision is generally accepted as a given, not to be revisited or amended by later players. Presents some key findings from the research into the project inception and the decision to build process, with particular emphasis on the environmental factors that influence the process and the product.

    Eupsychian management and the millennium (2000)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 15 (2000), S. 219-226 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: The article introduces the Utopian vision of managing people at work described in Abraham Maslow's book Eupsychian Management. This essentially foresees a time when organizations are managed by self-actualising people along lines which would encourage the self-actualisation of people from all levels of the organization. Maslow's vision was that this would lead to really effective organizations and a much improved society. The article considers how far such movements as quality of working life, TQM, empowerment and autonomous working groups have moved us towards this sort of management practice. There are definite moves in this direction but considerable constraints on making the practice universal, even though there is growing empirical evidence that positive human resource practices lead to improved efficiency and effectiveness.

    The state of cooking in England: the relationship of cooking skills to food choice (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    British food journal 101 (1999), S. 590-609 
    Details
    ISSN: 0007-070X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: This article uses data from the 1993 Health and Lifestyles Survey of England to present findings on how, why and when people use cooking skills; where and from whom people learn these skills. The implications for policy are explored. The survey data suggests that socio-economic status and education are associated with the sources of people's knowledge about cooking. The first or prime source of learning about cooking skills was reported to be mothers; cooking classes in school were cited as the next most important by the majority of correspondents, with some class and educational variations. The importance of mothers as sources of information on cooking skills is observed in all social classes. What emerges is a population unsure of specific cooking techniques and lacking in confidence to apply techniques and cook certain foods. Women still bear the burden of cooking for the household, with four out of every five women respondents cooking on most or every day, compared with one in five men. This may be related to the large number of men who claim to have no cooking skills (one in five).

    Dining out on Sociological Neglect (1994)
    Bradford : Emerald
    British food journal 96 (1994), S. 10-14

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Offers a brief overview of some of the key issues to arise so far fromthe sociological analysis of dining out. Commencing with a short surveyof the main theoretical perspectives in the field, develops thediscussion to include consideration of the nature of dining out as asocial activity. Particular attention is paid to the concept of the"meal experience" and the interplay that exists between consumers and thefood and hospitality industries in creating and sustaining thisexperience. Argues that contemporary styles and modes of provision andthe experience of dining out is marked by a retreat from food as theprincipal element in the restaurant "product", greater emphasis beingplaced on the contexts in which foods are provided and how thesecontexts relate to lifestyle and other factors.

    Talking to themselves: food commentators, food snobbery and market reality (1996)
    Bradford : Emerald
    British food journal 98 (1996), S. 5-11 
    Details
    ISSN: 0007-070X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Offers a preliminary examination of the nature of food snobbery. However, any psychological evaluation of the concept of snobbery is eschewed in favour of discussion that locates professional food commentary in a market context. By understanding the narrow targeting of professional food commentary, it is simultaneously possible to illuminate the extent to which such commentary arises essentially as a function of journalistic rather than culinary or gastronomic values. In taking this approach, the intention is not to stereotype food journalism which, in some areas of commentary on food, exhibits a reflexive quality, but rather to emphasize that, contra relativist approaches to the study of taste (reflected in aphoristic expressions such as "each to his own taste"), journalistic commentary on food can be seen to be a phenomenon which, in fact, distorts public perceptions of the nature of food markets, especially in the context of dining out.
