A Conceptual Framework For Managerial Analysis Under Economic Nationalism And Globalization: A Study Of Japanese Automakers In The Usa, Kanji Kitamura Jan 2019

A Conceptual Framework For Managerial Analysis Under Economic Nationalism And Globalization: A Study Of Japanese Automakers In The Usa, Kanji Kitamura

School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This chapter qualitatively examines cross-national managerial strategies employed at the Japanese automakers in the context of economic nationalism. It proposes and tests a simple yet versatile conceptual framework by developing existing models and integrating foundational concepts available in literature. Proposed as a tool for comparative analysis on management styles, the framework has two extreme ends of a continuum to capture not only variants of the social realities but also changes of businesses as it shifts between the extremes. The findings suggest that the force of economic nationalism likely affects the Japanese automakers’ growth strategies, and the dynamics of managerial styles …

Contesting The Public Sphere: Within And Against Critical Theory, David Ingram Jan 2019

Contesting The Public Sphere: Within And Against Critical Theory, David Ingram

Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This chapter examines how European thinkers working from within and without the Frankfurt School of critical theory have understood the public sphere as a distinctive political category. First-generation members of the school rejected institutional democracy and mass politics as ideologies that mask domination. The succeeding generation, whose most important representative is Jürgen Habermas, rejected that diagnosis. Habermas’s more optimistic assessment of the emancipatory potential of the public sphere as a medium of rational learning sought a middle ground between critics and defenders of liberal democracy. This ambivalence provoked strong counter-reactions from systems theorists, such as Niklas Luhmann, and from adherents …


The Charles Harpur Critical Archive: A History And Technical Report, Paul Eggert, Desmond A. Schmidt Jan 2019

The Charles Harpur Critical Archive: A History And Technical Report, Paul Eggert, Desmond A. Schmidt

English: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This is a history of and a technical report on the Charles Harpur Critical Archive (CHCA), in preparation since 2009. Harpur was a predominantly newspaper poet in colonial New South Wales from the 1830s to the 1860s. Approximately 2700 versions of his 700 poems in newspaper and manuscript form have been recovered. In order to manage the complexity of his often heavily revised manuscripts traditional encoding in XML–TEI, with its known difficulties in handling overlapping structures and complex revisions, was rejected. Instead, the transcriptions were split into simplified versions and layers of revision. Markup describing textual formats was stored externally …


Disability, Decoloniality, And Other-Than-Humanist Ethics In Anzaldúan Thought, Suzanne Bost Jan 2019

Disability, Decoloniality, And Other-Than-Humanist Ethics In Anzaldúan Thought, Suzanne Bost

English: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Gloria Anzaldúa’s writing has been read as decolonial based on her resistance to dominant national, racial, and cultural formations. This essay turns to unpublished documents from the Gloria Anzaldúa archive that are decolonial at a more fundamental level. In autobiographical writings about her own experiences with disability, as well as doodles and figure drawings, the alternate forms of human life that Anzaldúa depicts defy the logics of identification and differentiation that underlie colonial hierarchies. Refusing to fix bodies with labels, Anzaldúa accepted mystical encounters and inter-species minglings without judgment. She experienced her own disabling conditions (including a severe hormone imbalance …

Difference In Attitudes Toward Crew Resource Management Based On Nationality, Christoph Zurman, Herbert O. Hoffmann, Hans-Joachim K. Ruff-Stahl Jan 2019

Difference In Attitudes Toward Crew Resource Management Based On Nationality, Christoph Zurman, Herbert O. Hoffmann, Hans-Joachim K. Ruff-Stahl

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

The E-3A Airborne Early Warning and Control System aircraft operates with multinational crewmembers from 15 different nations on 12 different aircrew positions. Given this non-standard cultural environment, the authors explored the differences in the attitude toward Crew Resource Management (CRM), based on nationality, and how these differences could be used as a predictor for other nationalities attitudes. The potential benefit of this study may be, that CRM methods could be developed further to either work universally, independent to national or cultural backgrounds, or be adjusted for different cultural contexts in order to be even more effective. Primary data was gathered …


On Atmospheric Lapse Rates, Nihad E. Daidzic Jan 2019

On Atmospheric Lapse Rates, Nihad E. Daidzic

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

We have derived and summarized and most important atmospheric temperature lapse rates. ALRs essentially govern vertical atmospheric air stability and creation of some cloud types. The sensitivity analysis of various atmospheric lapse rates and their dependence on actual ideal-gas air properties and gravitational attraction was conducted for the first time to the best of our knowledge. SALR, which has DALR as the upper asymptote, showed steepest decrease at around 9 degrees Celsius then flattening out and apparently approaching another asymptotic solution which has not been investigated as it falls outside of the terrestrial temperature range. ISA lapse rates are adopted …


"It Is Possible To Reinvent Yourself!” An Analysis Of The Learning Lives And Lived Experience Of Adult Literacy Students In A Further Education Context, Chris Grundy Jan 2019

"It Is Possible To Reinvent Yourself!” An Analysis Of The Learning Lives And Lived Experience Of Adult Literacy Students In A Further Education Context, Chris Grundy

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

This research presents an analysis of the life stories of four adult literacy learners studying on a Skills for Life course in a Further Education context in the south west of England, three of whom are returning to education for the first time in their adult lives. Drawing on data generated by semi-structured biographical interviews, a socio-cultural lens is used to gain detailed insights into participants’ life histories and their understandings of the nuanced ways the adult literacy course may be helping them in their lives in the education context and beyond. Findings from the analysis of the participants' life …


Oral Story: A Pedagogical Tool Encouraging Children's Mathematical Thinking., Caroline Mcgrath Jan 2019

Oral Story: A Pedagogical Tool Encouraging Children's Mathematical Thinking., Caroline Mcgrath

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

This thesis is an exploration of how oral story can be used as a pedagogical tool by educators in a state infant school, to encourage children’s mathematical thinking. Two research questions are framed as follows: In using oral story as a pedagogical approach for mathematical thinking, what characterises the nature of the interaction between teachers and children and the role of children as mathematical storytellers? How can such narratives be documented? It starts by identifying the Vygotskian principles of instruction that are of importance to the practice of teaching young children. Data are generated by means of interviews, discussions, classroom …


Meeting And Minding: Early Interactions And Learning Who We Are, Rod Parker-Rees Jan 2019

Meeting And Minding: Early Interactions And Learning Who We Are, Rod Parker-Rees

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

The works included here represent the last 10 years of a lifelong enquiry into the role of playfulness in communication, intersubjectivity and the co-construction of identity. From a focus on the attentive playfulness of very early interactions I have gone on to explore how relaxed, social communication facilitates the meeting of minds and how minding, the continuing sharing, negotiation and recalibration of attitudes and meanings, allows us to negotiate the dynamic tensions inherent in our similarities and differences. My work offers a perspective on belonging and performance that can inform our efforts to support infants’ participation in the social process …


The Successes And Limitations Of Retraining Non-Specialist Teachers To Teach Mathematics, Naomi Sani Jan 2019

The Successes And Limitations Of Retraining Non-Specialist Teachers To Teach Mathematics, Naomi Sani

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

Acknowledging that there are simply too few mathematics teachers, the UK government is investing significantly in retraining programmes to equip non-specialist teachers to teach mathematics. With the new more mathematically rigorous GCSE courses, and the expectation that most post-16 students will engage with some mathematics (studying for A and AS levels, a Core Maths qualification or re-taking GCSE) many more teachers of mathematics will be needed. The questions posed, explore whether retraining could provide an effective way for alleviating the problem of the lack of well qualified teachers for mathematics. This thesis reports on the unfolding stories of eight teachers, …


A Case Study Of 'Internationalisation At Home' Leading To A Proposal For Critical Global Pedagogies, Pollyanna Magne Jan 2019

A Case Study Of 'Internationalisation At Home' Leading To A Proposal For Critical Global Pedagogies, Pollyanna Magne

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

This thesis examines current practice around ‘internationalisation at home’ (Jones, 2014). This is contextualised in single case study institution, in an isolated region of the UK, and takes place following the Brexit vote and the election of the Trump administration. The research utilised a multifaceted data collection approach including interviews, focus groups, written responses, and documentary analysis of publicly available documents. The data provides evidence that the majority of current internationalisation activity is economically motivated. Intercultural or global curriculum activity was evident but unstructured and limited. Central to this thesis is a discussion relating to the impact of insular thinking. …


Headteacher Experiences And Perceptions Of Standards-Led Reform In English Secondary Schools, Paul Stuart Norman Jan 2019

Headteacher Experiences And Perceptions Of Standards-Led Reform In English Secondary Schools, Paul Stuart Norman

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions of Headteachers in English secondary schools, to determine how the protracted standards-led programme of high-paced reform, sometime referred to as ‘policy churn’, had impacted on their experiences and on standards in their schools. The research employed a mixed-methods approach using an online survey, followed by semi-structured interviews with 11 practicing Headteachers from across the spectrum of school type, location and experience. Findings were considered against a framework of concepts including technologies of neoliberal reform - marketization, new managerialism and performativity drawn from Ball; concepts of capital drawn from Bourdieu and …


How Do Children’S Personal Narratives Influence Their Choices At School?, Paul James Gosling Jan 2019

How Do Children’S Personal Narratives Influence Their Choices At School?, Paul James Gosling

Plymouth Institute of Education Theses

The main empirical research question of this thesis is: how do children’s personal narratives influence their choices at school and more broadly? This question is supported by supplementary research questions which are concerned with exploring the development of children’s personal narratives and how they influence the choices that children make at primary school. The current scope of research in this field is limited. This study explores children’s personal narratives in relation to their lived experience of success using two main theories, Ricoeur's prefiguration, configuration and refiguration model (Ricoeur, 1988; Ricoeur, 2002) and Bourdieu’s ‘field theory’ (Bourdieu, 1977a; Bourdieu and Passeron, …
