The Management Science As A Practical Field: In Support Of Action Research, Dariusz Jemielniak
The Management Science As A Practical Field: In Support Of Action Research, Dariusz Jemielniak
Dariusz Jemielniak
The paper considers the implications of treating management as academic field, its consequent losing direct link to the practice in spite of the dire need for knowing-how orientation in business education, and the potential of action learning to fill this gap. Management since its inception has been, as all young disciplines, related to practice, originally being even perceived as an engineering subdivision (Boje and Winsor, 1993; Shenhav, 1999). Recently, there has been a growing concern that bringing new ideas to business world and solving its real life problems is a promise Academia makes, but cannot fulfill (Czarniawska, 1994). Also, relations …
“Minority Presidents And Democratic Performance In Latin America”, Gabriel L. Negretto
“Minority Presidents And Democratic Performance In Latin America”, Gabriel L. Negretto
Gabriel L. Negretto
A widely accepted argument among scholars of presidential regimes in Latin America is that inter-branch cooperation is impaired when the president’s party falls short of a majority of seats in the legislature. This argument fails to take into account three factors that should have an effect on executive-legislative relations in the event that the president’s party has no independent control over the assembly: the location of the president’s party in the policy space, the capacity of the president to sustain a veto, and the legislative status of the parties included in the cabinet. I propose the hypothesis that the greatest …
“Choosing How To Choose Presidents: Parties, Military Rulers, And Presidential Elections In Latin America”, Gabriel L. Negretto
“Choosing How To Choose Presidents: Parties, Military Rulers, And Presidential Elections In Latin America”, Gabriel L. Negretto
Gabriel L. Negretto
Students of presidential regimes claim that while the combination of plurality rule for presidential elections and concurrent electoral cycles favors bipartism, majority rule for electing presidents favors multipartism. I argue that a reverse causality also affects the relationship between party systems and electoral systems. Using a bargaining model of institutional change, I propose that while dominant and large parties are likely to choose plurality rule and concurrent elections, small parties are likely to choose majority rule. I also argue that military rulers and mil- itary-civilian coalitions tend to follow the logic of electoral choice of small parties. These hypotheses are …
Localizing Urban Design Traditions: Gated And Edge Cities In Curitiba, Clara Irazabal
Localizing Urban Design Traditions: Gated And Edge Cities In Curitiba, Clara Irazabal
Clara Irazabal
Gated communities and edge cities are new forms of space production and consumption that promote changes in the character of public space and citizens' participation in public life. This study unveils the phenomena of their creation as a paradoxical attempt to return to community. Curitiba's examples of gated communities and edge cities show that, despite being internationally showcased as a model of good planning and urban design, this metropolis has not been immune to the global capital pressures and urban design tendencies occurring in many urban areas throughout the world, thus signalling both the currency and trans-nationality of these issues.

El Efecto De Los Salarios Minimos En Los Ingresos Laborales De Mexico, David S. Kaplan, Francisco Perez Arce Novaro
El Efecto De Los Salarios Minimos En Los Ingresos Laborales De Mexico, David S. Kaplan, Francisco Perez Arce Novaro
David S. Kaplan
This paper analyzes the effect of minimum wages on the income of workers in Mexico. Using panel data from the National Urban Employment Survey (ENEU) and from the administrative records of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), this paper shows that changes in the real minimum wage induce changes in the same direction on wages in the Mexican labor market. This effect is weaker (although positive) the higher the income of the worker. It is also shown that the effect was stronger in the period comprising 1985-1993 than in the period comprising 1994--2001, suggesting that this effect is losing strength.
Ecuador Es La Suma De Sus Partes, Fernando Carrión Mena
Ecuador Es La Suma De Sus Partes, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En este principio de siglo, Ecuador busca una nueva forma de organización de la estructura del Estado por cuanto se percibe un agotamiento del Estado rentista -que se sustentaba en la sobreexplotación de la naturaleza (café, banano, petróleo, etc.) y en los ventajosos términos de intercambio comercial- y una inadecuación del Estado unitario a la diversidad del país. Además, la conflictividad ocasionada por la heterogeneidad local y regional ha sido siempre un componente fundamental de su historia económica, social y política, hasta el punto de que muchos estudiosos de la historia ecuatoriana han afirmado que Ecuador es la suma de …

La Gol-Balización Del Fútbol, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El fútbol es un fenómeno global que le precedió al proceso de globalización. Nació en múltiples lugares, bajo formas plurales y en momentos remotos y distintos. Así tenemos que los juegos de pelota, en donde se utilizaba tanto el pie como la mano, se practicaron en diferentes pueblos de la antigüedad, tales como el Kamari chino, el Epyskyros griego, el Harpastum romano o el «juego de pelota» mexicano. Sin embargo, se suele considerar que el antecedente directo del fútbol moderno fue el juego del Harpastum romano, proveniente de la influencia de los griegos, que llevado a las islas británicas, logró …

De La Foraneidad Al Fin Del Ventrilocuismo Del Fútbol Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Con este artículo se trata de mostrar el proceso seguido por el fútbol ecuatoriano desde su cualidad esencial de juego hacia la condición de actividad múltiple que hoy le rodea. Para empezar se debe señalar que es innegable que han existido, en estos últimos años, dos momentos significativos de construcción de un imaginario de unidad nacional: el uno proveniente de la guerra en el Cenepa contra el Perú (1995) y el otro de las clasificaciones de la selección nacional a los Mundiales de fútbol en Corea-Japón (2002) y en Alemania (2006); que, además, tuvieron la virtud de posicionar al país …

El Fútbol Es Ancho Y Ajeno: Selección De Referencias En La Literatura Y El Arte De América Latina Y Europa, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El fútbol es hoy en día el centro de la atención mundial, no sólo de aquellos interesados en los resultados de los partidos, sino también de una amplia gama de escritores, artistas e investigadores. Éstos han logrado hacer del fútbol un objeto de análisis además de un objeto de deseo y pasión. A continuación se presenta una selección de estas demostraciones, que no pretende ser exhaustiva, sino más bien una muestra de las formas como el fútbol se re-significa como objeto de estudio desde perspectivas diversas.
La selección se divide en tres secciones: la primera, donde se presentan citas y …
Autonomía Y Descentralización, Fernando Carrión Mena
Autonomía Y Descentralización, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Hay consenso nacional en impulsar un proceso de Reforma del Estado desde la descentralización y las autonomías, para profundizar la democracia, auspiciar el desarrollo y mejorar la calidad de vida de la población; en lo que todavía existen diferencias es con cuál de los siguientes proyectos llevarlo a cabo:
Plurinacionalidad. Este proyecto busca que el Estado Nacional reconozca las demandas de las distintas nacionalidades y pueblos indígenas, bajo la forma de un Estado que incluya la posibilidad de su condición plural. Su reivindicación va en el sentido de dotar de Estado a las nacionalidades, pero bajo una forma de integración …
La Recurrente Crisis Carcelaria En Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Recurrente Crisis Carcelaria En Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
La tradicional seguridad ciudadana se sustenta en tres instituciones que operan en sistema: policía, justicia y cárcel, donde cada una cumple una función específica. Si una falla, el sistema falla; si la justicia pierde eficiencia, la policía y la cárcel se afectan, siendo causa y efecto de más violencia.
La cárcel tiene dos funciones: la disuasión, para inducir a no cometer delitos y la rehabilitación y reinsersión de presos a la sociedad. Sin embargo, la cárcel perfecciona y reproduce la violencia –como capital social negativo- bajo la llamada “universidad del delito”. La reincidencia y la nula reinserción lo confirman.

El Futuro Está En El Ayer: La Habana Vieja, Una Plataforma De Innovación, Fernando Carrión Mena
El Futuro Está En El Ayer: La Habana Vieja, Una Plataforma De Innovación, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En La Habana Vieja hay una tradición de intervención superior a los 50 años. Un largo proceso de acción que deja en el camino importantes enseñanzas con resultados en calidad y cantidad que deben ser sistematizadas, para convertirse en experiencias paradigmáticas a ser destacadas. Esto supone un proceso nacido en la realidad y marcado por el optimismo de una política pública exitosa que debe ser compartida.
Con este trabajo se busca valorar las políticas aplicadas en La Habana Vieja principalmente desde 1982, en que se la declara Patrimonio de la Humanidad por parte de la UNESCO. Para el efecto el …

The Role Of Social Factors In The Dynamics Of Sound Change: A Case Study Of A Russian Dialect, Alexei Kochetov
The Role Of Social Factors In The Dynamics Of Sound Change: A Case Study Of A Russian Dialect, Alexei Kochetov
Alexei Kochetov
This article presents results of a sociolinguistic study of a Northern Russian dialect as spoken in a small rural community of Pokcha in the Western Urals, Russia. Because of a number of social influences, the dialect has been undergoing a rapid shift towards Standard Russian. The study examines two sound changes in progress: (1) a merger of unstressed mid back vowels and (2) a split of a post-alveolar fricative into two phonemes. The focus of the study is on the role of social factors—age, mobility, education, and sex—in determining the dynamics of the two rather different phonological processes.
Testing Licensing By Cue: A Case Of Russian Palatalized Coronals, Alexei Kochetov
Testing Licensing By Cue: A Case Of Russian Palatalized Coronals, Alexei Kochetov
Alexei Kochetov
The hypothesis ‘licensing by cue’ by Steriade holds that phonological contrasts are maintained in environments that provide better acoustic cues to the contrasts and are neutralized in environments that provide poorer acoustic cues or no cues. This paper tests the hypothesis by examining the distribution of a phonological contrast – the Russian plain/palatalized coronal stops /t/ and /tj/ in various syllable- final contexts. The results of a series of acoustic and perceptual experiments presented in this paper provide some support for the hypothesis: the relative salience of releases in different word boundary contexts (_#k > _#n, _#s) correlates strongly with the …
Syllable Position Effects And Gestural Organization: Evidence From Russian, Alexei Kochetov
Syllable Position Effects And Gestural Organization: Evidence From Russian, Alexei Kochetov
Alexei Kochetov
Previous articulatory studies have shown that English syllable-initial and syllable-final consonants exhibit different patterns of gestural organization. These differences – syllable position effects – are manifested primarily in the relative timing and magnitude of gestures. In general, syllable-initial consonants show more stable patterns of coordination and “tighter” articu-latory constrictions than the same consonants in syllable-final position. This paper addresses the question of whether syllable position effects hold for other languages by examining the articulatory properties of some Rus-sian syllable-initial and syllable final consonants: the palatal glide /j/ and labial stops /pj/ and /p/. In general, the articulometer (EMMA) results con-firm …

Cato’S Resolve And The Revolutionary Spirit: Political Education, Civic Action, And The Democratic-Republican Societies Of The 1790s, Brian W. Dotts
Brian W Dotts
In an address to friends and fellow citizens, published in the National Gazette in 1793, the German Republican Society of Philadelphia openly proclaimed one of its main principles: “The spirit of liberty, like every virtue of the mind, is to be kept alive only by constant action.” One year later, at a civic festival in Philadelphia while commemorating the success of the French Revolution, the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania and its sister society, the German Republicans, raised their glasses and toasted: “Knowledge:—May every Citizen be so learned as to know his rights, and so brave as to assert them.”1 These …

When Does Culture Matter?: Effects Of Personal Knowledge On The Correction Of Culture-Based Judgments, Donnel A. Briley, Jennifer L. Aaker
When Does Culture Matter?: Effects Of Personal Knowledge On The Correction Of Culture-Based Judgments, Donnel A. Briley, Jennifer L. Aaker
Donnel A Briley
Four experiments demonstrate that culture-based differences in persuasion arise when a person processes information in a cursory, spontaneous manner, but these differences dissipate when a person’s intuitions are supplemented by more deliberative processing. North Americans are persuaded more by promotion-focused information, and Chinese people are persuaded more by prevention-focused information, but only when initial, automatic reactions to messages are given. Corrections to these default judgments occur when processing is thoughtful. These results underscore the idea that culture does not exert a constant, unwavering effect on consumer judgments. A key factor in determining whether culture-based effects loom large or fade is …

Donnel A Briley
This article pulls together streams of culture-related research found in information-processing and behavioral decision theory literature, and it complements them with a focus on motivations and goals. The authors propose a framework that suggests that (1) the treatment of culture is useful when it incorporates subcultures, including those defined by nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and neighborhood or local surroundings; (2) goals are determined by both cultural background and situational forces; and (3) through its impact on goals, culture influences the inputs used to make a decision, the types of options preferred, and the timing of decisions. The authors highlight the …
