Wounded in a swift, savage instant in Vietnam, one war came to an
end... and another began Jungle in Black is the true story of one
soldier's long journey home from Vietnam This is the memoir of
Steve Maguire, a decorated young Airborne-Ranger, infantry officer
who commanded a 9th Infantry Division battalion reconnaissance
platoon in the Mekong Delta. It was there in November of 1969 while
on an airmobile operation that an exploding Viet Cong mine blinded
him for life. He lost his sight but not his courage. Jungle in
Black is an honest first-person account that never wallows in self
pity as the author reassembles his life in a country that had
turned its back on the war. Set in Long An Province, Vietnam, Camp
Zama, Japan, and Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington
D.C., this powerful yet often witty human drama details one man's
successful struggle against a war's desolation.
Constructing Identity in and around Organizations is the second
volume in Perspectives on Process Organization Studies, a series
which explores an emerging approach to the study of organizations
that focuses on (understanding) activities, interactions, and
change as essential properties of organizations rather than
structures and state - an approach which prioritizes activity over
product, change over persistence, novelty over continuity, and
expression over determination. The constructing of identities -
those processes through which actors in and around organizations
claim, accept, negotiate, affirm, stabilize, maintain, reproduce,
challenge, disrupt, destabilize, repair or otherwise relate to
their sense of selves and others - has become a critically
important topic in the study of organizations. This volume attempts
to amplify - and possibly refract - contemporary debates amongst
identity scholars that question established notions of identity as
"essence", "entity," or "thing". It calls for alternative
approaches to understanding identity and its significance in
contexts in and around organizations by conceptualizing it as
"process" - that is, being continually under construction. Based in
diverse theoretical and philosophical traditions and contexts,
contributions by leading scholars to this volume offer new
perspectives on how individual and organizational identities evolve
and come to be constructed through ongoing activities and
interactions.
The SAGE Handbook of Complexity and Management is the first
substantive scholarly work to provide a map of the state of art
research in the growing field emerging at the intersection of
complexity science and management studies. Edited and written by
internationally respected scholars from management and related
disciplines, the Handbook will be the definitive reference source
for understanding the implications of complexity science for
management research and practice. Part One: Foundations introduces
complexity science and its implications for the foundations of
scientific knowledge, including management knowledge. Part Two:
Applications presents the numerous ways in which complexity science
models and tools, as well as complexity thinking, are being applied
to management and organizational phenomena and the insights gained
as a result. Part Three: Interfaces highlights how complexity
science is transforming various non-management fields and, in so
doing, creating exciting interfaces for bridging between management
and related disciplines.
