المستخلص يهدف البحث الى تقديم تفسيرات جديدة لظاهرة التنويع وتأثيراتها المحتملة في قيمة المنشأة. وتوج ذلك بالإفصاح عن الدور المميز للمنظور المستند الى الموارد في دراسة العلاقة بين المتغيرين بعد أنْ خضعت لها عينة ممثلة من كبريات الشركات العالمية المدرجة ضمن مؤشر (Fortune 500)على طول المدة الزمنية الممتدة بين الأعوام (2005-2011) في محاولة أولى من نوعها على المستوى المحلي، استندت الى أسلوب الدمج بين البيانات المقطعية وبيانات السلاسل الزمنية بغية تفسير التباين المتوقع في قيمة المنشأة ببعديه المكاني والزماني، لعلها تسهم في إبداء تصور واضح، بقوة الوصف والتفسير والتنبؤ، يساعد على حل التناقض والالتباس في الكشف عن طبيعة العلاقة الصحيحة بين المتغيرين المذكورين، وهو هدف استراتيجي تنشده منظمات الأعمال متعددة القطاعات، رويداً وإستباقاً صوب القصد من البقاء والاستمرار في بيئة القرن الحادي والعشرين. وإستفهاماً لمشكلة البحث ووعياً بأبعدها من جهة، ومحاولة تذليلها من جهة أخرى، جرى إستنباط مجموعة فرضيات سُخِّر مضمونها لتفسير العلاقة بين التنويع وقيمة المنشأة، تخللتها مجموعة متغيرات تفاعلية توافقت مع طروحات نظرية إعتمادية الموارد الداخلية. وبعد إجراء التحليلات الإحصائية اللازمة لاختبار فرضيات التأثير التفاعلي للموارد المالية تحديداً، تبيَّنَ صحة فرضيتي التأثير المباشر وتوافر الموارد المالية، والتي يُستدل منها على الدور التفاعلي المعُدِّل للموارد المالية عالية المرونة في تلك العلاقة بين التنويع غير المترابط، في الدرجة الأولى، وقيمة المنشأة.

Public Consciousness

From the halls of the Ivy League to the C-suite at Fortune 500 companies, this book reveals the people behind the mindfulness movement, and the engine they built to propel mindfulness into public consciousness. Based on over a hundred interviews with meditating scientists, religious leaders, educators, businesspeople, and investors, this book shows how this highly accomplished, affluent group has popularized meditation as a tool for health, happiness, and social reform over the past forty years. Rather than working through temples or using social movement tactics like protest to improve society, they mobilized by building elite networks advocating the benefits of meditation across professions. They built momentum by drawing in successful, affluent people and their prestigious institutions, including Ivy League and flagship research universities, and Fortune 100 companies like Google and General Mills. To broaden meditation’s appeal, they made manifold adaptations along the way. In the end, does mindfulness really make our society better? Or has mindfulness lost its authenticity? This book reveals how elite movements can spread, and how powerful spiritual and self-help movements can transform individuals in their wake. Yet, spreading the dharma came with unintended consequences. With their focus on individual transformation, the mindful elite have fallen short of the movement’s lofty ambitions to bring about broader structural and institutional change. Ultimately, this idealistic myopia unintentionally came to reinforce some of the problems it originally aspired to solve.

PurposeAs the number of corporate blogs has continued to increase over the years, this study examines the use of relationship cultivation strategies of Fortune 500 companies on their corporate blogs. Moreover, it focuses on how companies use corporate blogs as interactive online communication channels to create a sense of community among their publics.Design/methodology/approachA content analysis of Fortune 500 company corporate blogs was conducted to examine the use of relational cultivation strategies and their methods of promoting a sense of community.FindingsFindings indicate that networking and sharing tasks are used most frequently among all relational cultivation strategies on corporate blogs, and that there are statistically significant differences among industries for using relationship cultivation strategies on corporate blogs. The most frequently used dimension of sense of community on corporate blogs is shared emotional connection.Originality/valueStudies analyzing social media as public relations tools have not yet focused on community building. In fact, few studies have examined the community building aspect of corporate blogs in the public relations field. To fill this gap, this study focuses on community building and analyzes how companies use corporate blogs as an interactive online communication channel to create a sense of community among their publics.

Symbolic Universe

This article applies corpus linguistics to research the ideologies of Fortune 500 corporations as institutionalised through those corporations’ mission statements. The methodology used is both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative methodology relates to the semantics of corporations’ ideologies. More precisely, it explains the ideas, beliefs, meanings, and concepts found in corporations’ mission statements, the relation between those ideas, beliefs, meanings, and concepts and society, and what makes those ideas, beliefs, meanings, and concepts meaningful. Quantitative methodology relates to the description and comparison of corporations’ ideologies based on a corpus-driven approach and computational text analysis of a corpus of corporations’ mission statements. Ultimately, through its ideology a corporation creates a symbolic universe: “a matrix of all social and individual meanings” that determines the significance of the corporation and its stakeholders.

Analytics is heralded as an important, new and increasingly widespread organizational function, and one that promises new approaches for generating value from organizational knowledge. What is not yet clear is how analytics may affect how organizations work with data, or how organizations can realize the benefits of analytics. Analytics, envisioned as not just a technical skill but a reconceptualization of data’s place in the organization, may improve, challenge or undermine existing processes and procedures. Building upon scholarship on expert collaboration and multidisciplinary knowledge work, this study reports a mixed-methods investigation of the implementation of analytics at a Fortune 500 financial services company. The findings make multiple contributions, including (a) confirming the importance of relationships among organizational experts in analytics work; (b) exploring specific communicative strategies employed by practitioners in those relationships; (c) demonstrating that the functioning of those relationships may differ depending on the type of analytics work (i.e. the degree to which it involves requesting, collaborating or commissioning); and (d) indicating that analytics practitioners need autonomy, as well as technical acumen, to question entrenched ideas about organizational data and problems. The findings contribute to practice by identifying problems that may be common in implementing analytics and strategies employed to address them.
