Book excerpt: The representation of organizations and working life in the popular media signifies, but also helps shape, contemporary practice and institutions. Organization-Representation unravels the complex social relationship between organization and its representation, offering new insights into the interaction between the popular images we create and receive, and the power relations that govern society, working life and culture. Representations in Hollywood movies, ethnographic and documentary films, children's literature and the popular and `quality' press replicate the power structures they supposedly describe and consequently help shape contemporary realities. This volume offers rich insights into the relations between cu

Download or read book Critical Representations of Work and Organization in Popular Culture written by Carl Rhodes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-12-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges traditional organizational theory, looking to representations of work and organizations within popular culture and the ways in which these institutions have also been conceptualized and critiqued there. Through a series of essays, Rhodes and Westwood examine popular culture as a compelling and critical arena in which the complex and contradictory relations that people have with the organizations in which they work are played out. By articulating the knowledge in popular culture with that in theory, they provide new avenues for understanding work organizations as the dominant institutions in contemporary society. Rhodes and Westwood provide a critical review of how organizations are represented in various examples of contemporary popular culture. The book demonstrates how popular culture can be read as an embodiment of knowledge about organizations – often more compelling than those common to theory – and explores the critical potential of such knowledge and the way in which popular culture can reflect on the spirit of resistance, carnivalisation and rebellion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Provides a wide-ranging and though-provoking analysis of non-union forms of employee-representation. While it will unquestionably be of interest to scholars and students specializing in the burgeoning field of non-union employee relations, there is much useful material that could inform union reponses to membership decline′ - British Journal of Industrial Relations `Paul Gollan′s book is an important contribution to our understanding of the significance of non-union employee representation in Britain and its implications for the future of employment relations. It is highly recommended′ - Russell Lansbury, Professor of Work & Organisational Studies, University of Sydney ′Can employees have effective voice without independent collective organisation? In the UK, unlike most of continental Europe, government and employers typically answer yes. Gollan′s detailed study provides sound reasons for scepticism′ - Richard Hyman, Department of Industrial Relations, LSE ′We know very little about the non-union sector in Britain despite the fact that it now embraces the clear majority of the workforce. The publication of Paul Gollan′s Employee Representation in Non-Union Firms therefore represents a very important addition to the field. Based on extensive and detailed in-depth study of some leading non-union employers, it throws new light on the ways in which employee interests are represented in such firms′ - Prof John Kelly, Birkbeck College ′Are non-union systems of representation (NER) an acceptable alternative to union-based systems or do they infact complement more traditional forms of union representation?′ - Bruce Kaufman, Georgia State University Robinson College of Business This book is the first of its kind to answer this challenging question. It offers a comprehensive overview of NER in the UK and locates UK practice within an international context. Readers are invited to consider the potential implications and limitations of NER arrangements, and to examine how unions respond to these NER arrangements through bargaining, consultation and representation processes. Throughout issues are addressed on both a macro and micro level. The book reviews the literature and examines current practice using survey data and original case analysis. Engaging readers who are studying industrial relations, human resource management, employee involvement and consultation, unions and management strategy, it will also be appeal to practioners working in these areas.

This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep learning has developed as a useful approach for data mining tasks such as unsupervised feature learning and representation. This is thanks to its ability to learn from examples with no prior guidance. Unsupervised learning is the process of discovering patterns and structures in unlabeled data without the use of any explicit labels or annotations. This type of learning does not require the data to be annotated or labelled. This is especially helpful in situations in which labelled data are few or nonexistent. Unsupervised feature learning and representation have seen widespread application of deep learning methods such as auto encoders and generative adversarial networks (GANs). These algorithms learn to describe the data in a hierarchical fashion, where higher-level characteristics are stacked upon lower-level ones, capturing increasingly complicated and abstract patterns as they progress. Neural networks are known as Auto encoders, and they are designed to reconstruct their input data from a compressed representation known as the latent space. The hidden layers of the network are able to learn to encode valuable characteristics that capture the underlying structure of the data when an auto encoder is trained on input that does not have labels attached to it. It is possible to use the reconstruction error as a measurement of how well the auto encoder has learned to represent the data. GANs are made up of two different types of networks: a generator network and a discriminator network. While the discriminator network is taught to differentiate between real and synthetic data, the generator network is taught to generate synthetic data samples that are an accurate representation of the real data. By going through an adversarial training process, both the generator and the discriminator are able to improve their skills. The generator is able to produce more realistic samples, and the discriminator is better able to tell the difference between real and fake samples. One meaningful representation of the data could be understood as being contained within the latent space of the generator. After the deep learning model has learned a reliable representation of the data, it can be put to use for a variety of data mining activities.

Download or read book Street Text and Representation in African American Literature written by Mattius Rischard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive and comparative, this volume investigates African American street novelists since the Chicago Black Renaissance and the semiotic strategies they employ in publication, consumption, and depiction of street life. Divided into three chapters, this text analyzes the content, style, and ethics of “street” narrative through a discursive/rhetorical lens, exploring the development of street literature’s formal and contextual concerns to resolve the sociocultural and political questions surrounding cultural work. The book also gives emphasis to “text” or (post)structural literary analysis by answering questions about the genre’s aesthetic and linguistic techniques that respond to the injustices of urban planning. The last chapter, “Representation,” investigates the phenomenological hermeneutics of more recent street literature and its satire, highlighting the political stakes for authorship, credibility, and subjectivity. Through historical and contemporary studies of urban space, Blackness, and adaptations of street literature, this work attempts to network activists, artists, and scholars with the greater reading public by providing a functional ontology of reading the inner city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral thesis focuses on the spread of process information in organizations and, in particular, on the mitigation of the problems caused by the spread of information on a single process over numerous models, documents, and systems. Processes within organizations can be highly complex chains of inter-related steps, involving numerous stakeholders and information systems. Due to this complexity, having access to the right information is vital to the proper execution and effective management of an organization’s business processes. The main contributions of this thesis are five techniques that focus on the alignment and comparison of process information from different informational artifacts. Each of these techniques tackles a specific scenario involving multiple informational artifacts that contain process information in different representation formats.

Download or read book Disability and Social Representations Theory written by Vinaya Manchaiah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability and Social Representations Theory provides theoretical and methodological knowledge to uncover the public perception of disabilities. Over the last decade there has been a significant shift from body to environment, and the relation between the two, when understanding the phenomenon of disabilities. The current trend is to view disabilities as the outcome of this interaction; in short from a biopsychosocial perspective. This has called for research based on frameworks that incorporate both the body and the environment. There is a great corpus of knowledge of the functions of a body, and a growing corpus of environmental factors such as perceptions among specific groups of persons towards disabilities. However, there is a lack of knowledge of the perception of disabilities from a general population. This book offers an insight into how we can broaden our understanding of disability by using Social Representations Theory, with specific examples from studies on hearing loss. The authors highlight that attitudes and actions are outcomes of a more fundamental disposition (i.e., social representation) towards a phenomenon like disability. This book is written assuming the reader has no prior knowledge of Social Representations Theory. It will be of interest to all scholars, students and professionals working in the fields of disability studies, health and social care, and sociology.
