Gilbert Durand, Bachelardův žák, koncipoval své Antropologické struktury imaginárna jako antropologické rozšíření výzkumů započatých v Psychoanalýze ohně. Jeho kniha chce být jakousi "zahradou" obrazů, uspořádanou na způsob Linného botaniky, inventářem uspořádaným okolo několika hlavních strukturálních schémat. Tento postup však dovádí čtenáře mnohem hlouběji: ústí do celkové teorie, jež vyvrací klasické pojetí obrazu, jaké rozvíjel Sartre, a překračuje teze Lacroze, Barthese a Malrieuho - jež všechny redukují imaginárno a podřizují jeho "pošetilost" nějaké formě rozumu. Svým zkoumáním toho, jak imaginárno "funguje", nás Gilbert Durand staví do srdce polemik vyvolaných strukturalismem, který nahrazuje časové procesy klasického diskurzivního vysvětlení explikativními procesy prostorovými, topologickými. Zatímco je však možné kritizovat strukturalismus Léviho-Strausse či Greimase pro jeho formalismus, struktury imaginárna, jež jsou z definice "figurativní", nás vedou k tomu, abychom o struktuře uvažovali v termínech jejího dynamického obsahu.

Organizational behavior is an important and growing field in leadership and management studies, yet it has been largely overlooked by leaders of churches and other Christian ministries. Franklin Markow, who has been teaching leadership and organizational studies for 25 years, believes a comprehensive understanding of organizational behavior is essential for effective leadership. This introduction to the topic accounts for the unique dynamics of Christian organizations, gives theological foundations, and provides key insights and guidance to those studying or practicing leadership in churches and ministries. Markow proposes and explains organizational behavior using a comprehensive "Five-Level Model," which encompasses the 1) individual, 2) interpersonal, 3) group, 4) organizational, and 5) interorganizational perspectives of organizations. Readers will gain a better understanding of their organization and how people relate to it and to one another. The goal is to help people and organizations thrive and fulfill their God-given missions. Besides utilizing seminal and current sources from the field of organizational studies, Markow draws on interviews with senior-level leaders in churches and nonprofits for fresh and ministry-focused insights. Each chapter includes review questions, case studies, further reading suggestions, and current issue sidebars, making it a perfect textbook for college or seminary leadership classes. It is ...

Across the social sciences, scholars are increasingly showing how people ''work'' to construct organizational life, including the rules and routines that shape and enable organizational activity, the identities of people who occupy organizations, and the societal norms and assumptions that provide the context for organizational action. The idea of work emphasizes the ways in which people and groups engage in purposeful, reflexive efforts rooted in an awareness of organizational life as constructed in human interaction and changeable through human effort. Studies of these efforts have identified new forms of work including emotion work, identity work, boundary work, strategy work, institutional work, and a host of others. Missing in these conversations, however, is a recognition that these forms of work are all part of a broader phenomenon driven by historical shifts that began with modernity and dramatically accelerated through the twentieth century. This book introduces the social-symbolic work perspective, which addresses this broader phenomenon. The social-symbolic work perspective integrates diverse streams of research to examine how people purposefully and reflexively work to construct organizational life, including the identities, technologies, boundaries, and strategies that constitute their organizations. In this book, the authors define social-symbolic work and introduce three forms - self work, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Most contemporary organizations use management teams to manage and coordinate their businesses at all levels of the organizational hierarchy. Management teams typically set overall goals, strategies, and priorities, making vital organizational decisions. They discuss issues, solve problems, offer advice, and ensure various processes and units are aligned and interact efficiently. Although management teams are vital for overall organizational performance, research indicates that they are largely underused and less effective than their potential would suggest for value creation. This book provides a research-based and practical model of the characteristics of effective management teams. It looks in depth at each factor of the model, discusses the supporting research, provides examples of how the factors influence the work and effectiveness of management teams, and shares tips and tools for successfully working with management team development. It provides researchers, academics, and students of organizational behavior with an overview of the variables that empirical research has found to be robustly related to management team effectiveness and will enable leaders and management consultants to develop more effective management teams.

Čtvrtý svazek edice Rozhraní se věnuje vztahům fotografie a elektřiny v 19.století. Od Aldiniho demonstrací reanimace živočišných těl přes zachycení přízraků fotografií až k Röntgenovým paprskům se rozvíjí elektro-fotografické imaginárno, jehož hlavní předpoklad zní, že lidský život je jen simulakrem obrazu, ať už zastaveného, nebo v pohybu, promítaného buď na fotografickou desku, nebo do světa. To, co leží uvnitř obrazu, co je vizualizováno, není nic menšího než primát Smrti nad Životem. Organismy existují pouze v okamžiku, kdy jsou snímány přístroji a aparáty, jejichž desky obsahují záznam repetitivnosti lidského života, který je pouhým fraškovitým přestavením uprostřed nicoty. Těmi, kdo doopravdy žijí, jsou obrazy, jelikož jsou navždy uchovány v hardwaru, ve virtuálním nečasovém voidu, odkud se vyvolává stisk tlačítka, aby znovu a znovu přehrály několik scén. Nikdy nezestárnou, jsou věčné.

Shortlisted in the 2024 Business Book Awards (People, Culture & Management category)Toxic organizational cultures and leadership have led to major reputational failures, with the greatest impact felt by the people who dedicate their careers to working for these organizations.

Long a fruitful area of scrutiny for students of organizations, the study of institutions is undergoing a renaissance in contemporary social science. This volume offers, for the first time, both often-cited foundation works and the latest writings of scholars associated with the "institutional" approach to organization analysis. In their introduction, the editors discuss points of convergence and disagreement with institutionally oriented research in economics and political science, and locate the "institutional" approach in relation to major developments in contemporary sociological theory. Several chapters consolidate the theoretical advances of the past decade, identify and clarify the paradigm's key ambiguities, and push the theoretical agenda in novel ways by developing sophisticated arguments about the linkage between institutional patterns and forms of social structure. The empirical studies that follow--involving such diverse topics as mental health clinics, art museums, large corporations, civil-service systems, and national polities--illustrate the explanatory power of institutional theory in the analysis of organizational change. Required reading for anyone interested in the sociology of organizations, the volume should appeal to scholars concerned with culture, political institutions, and social change.

Why do some countries succeed while others struggle? Why are some firms profitable while rivals fail? Why do some marriages thrive and others end in divorce? These questions seem unrelated, but societies, companies, and marriages have one important thing in common: they involve more than one individual. They thus face the same fundamental challenges. How can people be made to help rather than hurt each other? How can they use sacrifice, cooperation, and coercion to promote the common good? In this introductory text, Tore Ellingsen equips readers to answer essential questions around the success and failure of humans in groups, drawing on behavioral game theory, psychology, and sociology. He emphasizes how other-regarding preferences such as altruism and dutifulness matter for societies’ prosperity, and analyzes the role of culture in the form of shared values and understandings. One lesson is that cooperation is facilitated when people anticipate that they will hold common memories of past behavior, especially if agreements take precedence over leaders’ authority. A groundbreaking text, Institutional and Organizational Economics is essential reading for students and scholars of economics, political science, sociology, and public administration.
