Primary Instrument

This research reports the findings of an empirical study into the behavioural attributes of the Chinese transformational leader in Singapore. The literature review reveals that the current research on transformational leadership only focuses on Western organisations. This research design used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative research used the case study strategy as a primary instrument. This case study approach was to search for new themes and patterns across eight Chinese Chief Executives of medium to large-scale business enterprises. In the quantitative part of the research, the subordinates of the selected leader were identified to participate in the questionnaire survey – to rate their leaders' based on the presence and intensity of practice of the identified behavioural attributes. The six factors rotated uncovered a common list of behavioural attributes of the Chinese transformational leader that will facilitate the transformation process. Implications of the findings are discussed.

The Impact

Objective: To provide guidance to criminologists for conducting experiments in light of two common discouraging factors: the belief that they are overly time-consuming and the belief that they can compromise the ethical principles of human subjects’ research. Method: A case study approach is used, based on a large-scale randomized controlled trial experiment in which we exposed participants to a 5-s TASER shock, to describe how the authors overcame ethical, methodological, and logistical difficulties. Results: We derive four pieces of advice from our experiences carrying out this experimental trial: (1) know your limitations, (2) employ pilot testing, (3) remain flexible and patient, and (4) “hold the line” to maintain the integrity of the research and the safety of human subjects. Conclusions: Criminologists have an obligation to provide the best possible evidence regarding the impact and consequences of criminal justice practices and programs. Experiments, considered by many to be the gold standard of empirical research methodologies, should be used whenever possible in order to fulfill this obligation.

Minority Ethnic

The structural position of black and minority ethnic workers (BME) and migrant workers in the UK labour market is relatively well known. Many workers in these groups find themselves in low-paid, low-skilled jobs primarily because of their ethnicity and regardless of their skills. This racialization of the labour market has been well documented - particularly since the ‘large-scale’ BME immigration in the post-war period. What is less well known is what it is like to work in these increasingly segmented sections of the economy where white workers have abandoned jobs in favour of (slightly) more lucrative work. Adopting a case-study approach, this article follows a trade union’s attempt to organize a sandwich factory of 500 workers, where most of the workforce was made up of BME migrant workers.

Alternative Approaches

In this study, we identified and analyzed 75 articles in the family business (FB) literature between 2000 and 2014 as to the case study design they adopted. We found that the positivistic case study approach is the FB disciplinary convention. The two alternative approaches of critical realism and interpretivism are used to a significantly lesser extent. We anticipate that in the future the positivistic approach will continue to be used widely. The other two approaches can be employed to a higher extent since their use is likely to contribute to a scientific pluralism in FB case study research.

Strategic Transformation

Organisations are going through significant change and strategic transformation in these dynamic times. However, emotions have often been under-leveraged in the process of strategic change management. This article explores how leaders and organisational routines can create appropriate collective emotions to achieve relevant objectives in their strategic transformation. Using a case study approach, this study identified that collective emotions formed are dependent on the type of affective events and the current emotion state of the team, including their ‘identity’ strength, and is mediated by the organisational processes of listening and addressing concerns and the historical learning of the team from similar experiences, and moderated by leader emotion management actions. This article outlines the key emotions of excitement, optimism, gratitude, interest, happiness, pride and dissatisfaction, which are necessary at different stages in the strategic transformation process, and the organisational routines and leader actions needed to build them.

Significant Difference

The aim of the study was to explore the use of a unique musical instrument called Skoog in a special needs education setting with a child with autism. A case-study approach was adopted. Emphasis was placed on the potential of Skoog, which increases the participant’s initiation to make eye-contact and to initiate a conversation or other forms of communication. The participant was a 4-year-old boy with autism. The participant received 21 sessions of therapy, with outcomes from the sessions utilizing Skoog being compared to the outcomes from sessions not utilizing Skoog. The sessions were filmed, and pre- and post-intervention evaluations were carried out. The results did not yield any statistically significant difference between Skoog and non-Skoog sessions. A greater amount of verbal communication was recorded during the non-Skoog sessions. This might be because the participant used music, instead of language, to communicate when using Skoog. These results contradict findings from previous studies. A large-scale study with a greater number of participants is needed to further evaluate the use of Skoog in special needs education setting.

Study Approach

In this paper we develop a theoretical model that helps to understand change in mature organizational fields by emphasizing the role of competing institutional logics as part of a radical change process. Our investigation into a large-scale, government-led health reform initiative in Alberta, Canada, is based upon a qualitative case study approach to understanding the process of field recomposition. This study focuses on the later portions of change in an organizational field — that is, rather than explaining the sources of change, we investigate how a field becomes re-established after the implementation of a radical structural change.
