Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Imaginisation "... Voilà le terme qu'a créé Gareth Morgan pour désigner l'art de décoder les problèmes de l'organisation où image et action ont un lien étroit. La plupart des représentations traditionnelles de l'organisation reposent, en effet, sur quelques images, ou métaphores, qui conduisent à la considérer de façon fragmentaire. Machine, organisme, culture, système politique, instrument de domination, les organisations peuvent être plusieurs choses à la fois. Cet ouvrage explore la nature de chaque métaphore, puis en étudie les répercussions concrètes sur la vie organisationnelle. Dans ce traité sur la pensée métaphorique, l'auteur propose une méthode concrète d'analyse, un véritable dispositif de recherche servant aussi bien au gestionnaire qu'au chercheur ou à l'étudiant des 2e et 3e cycles en gestion. Les idées véhiculées par les diverses métaphores leur fournissent un cadre à partir duquel ils peuvent établir un diagnostic, en faire une évaluation critique et trouver des façons inédites de résoudre les problèmes.
Download or read book Images of Organization written by Gareth Morgan and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2006-04-15 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its first publication over twenty years ago, Images of Organization has become a classic in the canon of management literature. The book is based on a very simple premise—that all theories of organization and management are based on implicit images or metaphors that stretch our imagination in a way that can create powerful insights, but at the risk of distortion. Gareth Morgan provides a rich and comprehensive resource for exploring the complexity of modern organizations internationally, translating leading-edge theory into leading-edge practice.

Book excerpt: Le best-seller international qui a révolutionné notre façon de voir les organisations ! Imaginisation... Voilà le terme qu'a créé Gareth Morgan pour désigner l'art de décoder les problèmes de l'organisation, où image et action ont un lien étroit. L'auteur montre en effet que bon nombre de nos idées traditionnelles sur l'organisation reposent sur quelques images, ou méta-phores, qui nous amènent à la considérer de façon fragmentaire. Machine, organisme, culture, système politique, instrument de domination, les organisations peuvent être plusieurs choses à la fois. Morgan explore la nature de chaque métaphore, puis il en étudie les répercussions concrètes pour la compréhension de la vie organisationnelle. Les idées véhiculées par les diverses métaphores fournissent au gestionnaire un cadre à partir duquel il pourra établir un diagnostic, en faire une évaluation critique et trouver des façons inédites de résoudre les problèmes. Dans ce traité sur la pensée métaphorique, Morgan nous offre donc une méthode concrète d'analyse, un véritable dispositif de recherche pouvant servir aussi bien au gestionnaire qui exerce sa profession dans une organisation qu'au chercheur ou à l'étudiant dont l'objet d'étude est l'organisation.
Download or read book The Imaginary Word and Image written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imaginary as a critical concept originated in the twentieth century and has been theorized in diverse ways. It can be understood as a register of thought; the way we interpret the world; the universe of images, signs, texts, and objects of thought. In this volume, it is explored as it manifests itself in encounters between the verbal and the visual. A number of the essays brought together here explore the transposition of the imaginary in illustrations of texts and verbal renditions of images, as well as in comic books based on paintings or on verbal narratives. Others analyze ways in which books deal with film or television and investigate the imaginary in digital media. Special attention is paid to the imaginary of places and the relationship of the imaginary with memory. Written in English and French, these contributions by European and American scholars demonstrate the various concerns and approaches characteristic of contemporary scholarship in word and image studies.

Download or read book The Image in Early Cinema written by Scott Curtis and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Image in Early Cinema, the contributors examine intersections between early cinematic form, technology, theory, practice, and broader modes of visual culture. They argue that early cinema emerged within a visual culture composed of a variety of traditions in art, science, education, and image making. Even as methods of motion picture production and distribution materialized, they drew from and challenged practices and conventions in other mediums. This rich visual culture produced a complicated, overlapping network of image-making traditions, innovations, and borrowing among painting, tableaux vivants, photography, and other pictorial and projection practices. Using a variety of concepts and theories, the contributors explore these crisscrossing traditions and work against an essentialist notion of media to conceptualize the dynamic interrelationship between images and their context.
Download or read book Strategy and Management of Industrial Brands written by Philippe Malaval and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategy and Management of Industrial Brands is the first book devoted to business-to-business products and services. Looking at numerous companies, this book defines two brand objectives that are specific to the industrial and service sectors and which must be added to the traditional functions of branding: the minimization of risk as perceived by buyers, and the facilitation of the customer company's performance by the supplier brand. Different ways of classifying brands are suggested, providing a better understanding of brand strategies adopted by business-to-business companies, as well as new concepts such as brand `printability', `visibility', and `purchaseability'. Five major brand categories are dealt with in separate chapters: -entering goods brands; -intermediary equipment goods brands; -equipment goods brands; -business-to-business service brands; and -industrial distributor brands. From a practical point of view, the aim of the book is to address the main concerns of managers: How to create and protect brands? What type of visual identity is appropriate? How to manage international brands? An analysis of 1,500 industrial brands as well as 40 case studies are included in this book. These brands are used in both the industrial (automotive, building, aeronautics, IT, etc.) and consumer sectors (clothing, electronics, food packaging, telecommunications, etc.). This book has been written for professors and students of universities and business schools, as well as managers and people working in industry or the service sector.
Download or read book Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development written by Corinne Gendron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that current economist theories do not take into account the socially constructed nature of the debate surrounding the environment and environmental policy. It examines whether proposed economic solutions to environmental policy are, in fact, viable in practice. The book demonstrates that social conflicts cause policy compromises, which shape the economic system of a post-industrial ecological society. The author offers an innovative socio-economic theory of environmental politics, which illuminates the transformation dynamics brought about by the ecological crisis. Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental politics, policy and governance.

This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical reality of contemporary education in a globalised world is the growing cultural, racial and linguistic diversity in schools and the issues involved in educating increasing numbers of students who are still learning the dominant language. This poses extraordinary challenges for second and foreign language teachers in many countries, where such students must engage with the mainstream curriculum in a new language. What do these increasingly plurilingual and multicultural classrooms look like? And how do language teachers address the challenges of such diverse classrooms? This book brings together a group of well-recognised language education scholars who present their research in a range of international settings. They focus on the key areas of pedagogy, language policy and curriculum and exemplify new research directions in the field.
