Valuing Technology - Organisations, Culture and Change (Paperback, New): Janice McLaughlin, Paul Rosen, David Skinner, Andrew... Valuing Technology - Organisations, Culture and Change (Paperback, New)

R1,855 Discovery Miles 18 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How does new information technology become part of the fabric of organisational life? Drawing on insights from social studies of technology, gender studies and the sociology of consumption, Valuing Technology opens up new directions in the analysis of sociotechnical change within organisations. Based on a major research project focused upon the introduction of management of information systems in health, higher education and retailing, I explores the active role of end-users in innovation.
This book argues that it is through the, often difficult, engagement between users and technology that new computer systems come to gain value within organisations. Key themes developed through analysis of case studies include:
*the valuing of technology via the on-going construction of needs, uses and utilities
*occupational identities, organisational inequalities and technological change
*the gendering of technological and organisational change
*interpretive flexibility and the 'stabilisation' of technological systems and their incorporation into the lives of people in organisations.
A stimulating blend of the theoretical and substantive, this book demands a radical redefinition of 'technology acquisition'. It's highly original approach makes Valuing Technology essential reading for students, lecturers and researchers within the fields of organisation studies and the sociology of technology.

R3,994 Discovery Miles 39 940 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

How can the social sciences help us to understand the past, present and potential futures of cycling? This timely international and interdisciplinary collection addresses this question, discussing shifts in cycling practices and attitudes, and opening up important critical spaces for thinking about the prospects for cycling. The book brings together, for the first time, analyses of cycling from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, including history, sociology, geography, planning, engineering and technology. The book redresses the past neglect of cycling as a topic for sustained analysis by treating it as a varied and complex practice which matters greatly to contemporary social, cultural and political theory and action. Cycling and Society demonstrates the incredible diversity of contemporary cycling, both within and across cultures. With cycling increasingly promoted as a solution to numerous social problems across a wide range of policy areas in car-dominated societies, this book helps to open up a new field of cycling studies.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Fruhgeschichte, Antike, Note: 2,7, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Veranstaltung: Proseminar Ceasars gallischer Krieg, 18 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der nun folgenden Arbeit mochte ich mich mit der romischen Armee befassen. Dazu muss man allerdings einschrankend sagen, dass eine umfassende Arbeit uber das romische Heerwesen konsequenterweise einen Zeitraum von mehreren hundert Jahren umfassen musste. In dieser langen Zeitspanne war das Imperum Romanum und mithin sein Heer mehrfach politischen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Anderungen unterworfen. Es wurde also den Rahmen der vorgegebenen Arbeit sprengen, die romische Armee durch ihre gesamte Geschichte zu begleiten, und samtliche Neuerungen bzw. Anderungen anzufuhren. Aus diesem Grund konzentriere ich mich auf die Zeit Caesars 100-44 v.Chr.], der sich ca.60 v. Chr. die Neuerungen der Heeresreform des Marius zu Nutze machte, um sich wahrend seiner Konsulnzeit in Gallien eine machtige Privatarmee' aufzubauen, die den Grundstock seiner spateren Macht legte. Meine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Frage, warum die romische Armee so erfolgreich war und in der ca. 1000-jahrigen Geschichte des romischen Reiches durch Eroberungsfeldzuge dazu beitrug, dass Rom von einem Stadtstaat zum romische Imperium heranwuchs. Dieses umfasste in seiner grossten Ausdehnung unter Kaiser Trajan (regierte von 98 bis 117 n. Chr.) den gesamten Mittelmeerraum, sowie Gallien, Britannien, den heutigen Balkan, die Turkei und Teile des nahen Ostens bis zum kaspischen Meer und dem persischen Golf. Ich nahere mich dem Gegenstand, die Armee Caesars, indem ich mich zunachst mit der Organisation der Armee befasse. Als Literatur fur die Erforschung der Organisation der Armee zur Zeit Caesars bietet sich das Werk von G.Veith, sowie von W. Rustow an. Als nachstes werde ich mich dann mit dem Exerzieren beschaftigen. Dieses Exerzieren

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Sport - Sportokonomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 2,3, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Veranstaltung: Sportsoziologie, 45 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die beiden Thesen: 1) Sport-Mega-Event ist ein Garant fur Wirtschaftswachstum und 2) Sport-Mega-Event ist kein Wirtschaftsmotor sollen in dieser Arbeit gegenubergestellt und diskutiert werden. Diese Thesen werden am Beispiel der FIFA WM 2006 untersucht und bewertet. Dazu werden Wirtschaftsstudien, die im Vorfeld zur WM 2006 in Deutschland erhoben wurden, solchen Wirtschaftsstudien, die nach der WM entstanden, gegenubergestellt. Da im Vorfeld dieser WM enorme Investitionen notig wurden und auch nach dem Event fortlaufende Unterhaltskosten/ Betriebskosten der Stadien zu Buche schlagen (Probleme der Nachnutzung), ist ein Zeitraum zur Beurteilung der gesamten Wirtschaftsleistung dieses Mega-Events zu definieren, um der Komplexitat eines Kosten-Nutzen-Vergleichs gerecht zu werden.
