Embedded Enterprise and Social Capital - International Perspectives (Paperback): Simon Leonard Embedded Enterprise and Social Capital - International Perspectives (Paperback)
Simon Leonard; Edited by Michael Taylor
R1,084 Discovery Miles 10 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This title was first published in 2002. The concept of embeddedness refers to the social construction of inter-firm relationships and the enmeshing of economic relationships within broader social structures and relationships in particular places. Previous research has suggested embedding is the best way to generate local growth and social capital and has focused on SMEs in Europe and North America, although the existing model is being more widely adopted now. This volume is the first to examine the complex processes of embedding in this wider context. Bringing together a broad range of case studies from the developed and developing world which address the nature of embeddedness from various perspectives, it not only questions the universality of the current model and the policy initiatives it has spawned but also provides a much wider understanding of embeddedness . It does so by discussing the social dimensions more fully and by throwing light on the spatial and temporal ambiguity of the concept and its inadequate treatment of power.

In Beyond 1776, ten humanities scholars consider the American Revolution within a global framework. The foundation of the United States was deeply enmeshed with shifting alliances and multiple actors, with politics saturated by imaginative literature, and with ostensible bilateral negotiations that were, in fact, shaped by speculation about realignments in geopolitical power. To reanimate these intricate and often indirect connections, this volume uncovers the influences of people across disparate sites both during and after independence. The book centers first on the migration of ideas across the Atlantic, particularly among intellectuals and through print. In this section, scholars focus on how various European countries or cliques appropriate the Revolution to reanimate an array of national, local, or cosmopolitan affiliations. The essays in the second section articulate how revolutions fostered surprising exchanges in, for example the West Indies and in the first penal colonies of Australia, along the Celtic fringe and Pacific Rim, and in the vast territories through which goods circulated. Taken as a whole, this collection answers the persistent calls from scholars to move beyond the boundaries defined by the nation-state or periodization to rethink narratives of U.S. foundations. The contributors examine a range of texts, from novels and drama to diplomatic correspondence, letters of common sailors, political treatises, newspapers, accounting ledgers, naval records, and burial rituals (many from non-Anglophone sources). Beyond 1776 will appeal to scholars seeking to understand contact and exchange in the late eighteenth century. It indexes how different intellectuals in the period deployed the Revolution as a point of connection; follows the dispersal of print books, guns, slaves, and memorabilia; and evaluates literary responses to the new republic. The book puts in conversation scholars of literature, theater, history, modern languages, American studies, political science, transatlanticism, cultural studies, women's studies, postcolonialism, and geography.

Mehrsprachigkeit ist allgegenwartig: wir begegnen ihr tagtaglich im offentlichen, im geschaftlichen sowie oft auch im privaten Kontext. Wenn man beruflich mit anderen Sprachen als seiner Muttersprache zu tun hat, ist die Funktion dieser Berufssprachen meistens klar, wie zum Beispiel fur viele das Englische. Wenn man im privaten Kontext Mehrsprachigkeit begegnet, ist die Funktion der einen oder anderen Sprache jedoch nicht immer so klar. Im privaten Leben neigt der Mensch dazu, sich mit einer Sprache oder Sprechergruppe zu identifizieren. Dies fuhrt im Normalfall bei einsprachigen Personen zu keinen Konflikten. Bei einer mehrsprachigen Person hingegen konnte die Zugehorigkeit zu mehreren Sprechergruppen durchaus zu Problemen der Identitat fuhren, was in dem Alter, in dem man aktiv nach seiner eigenen Identitat sucht, am besten zu sehen ist. In dieser Arbeit wird versucht, die Auswirkungen von Mehrsprachigkeit auf die Identitat des Individuums zu beschreiben oder anders formuliert: Wie wirkt sich Mehrsprachigkeit auf die Identitat eines Individuums aus?
