“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination”When discussing management, we have to start with a historical perspective that enables us to understand its evolution as:1)      It clarifies our view of the present,2)      It allows us to explain the way things are,3)      It instils a sense of causation, and,4)      It underlines the importance of interpretation in social science.The history of management thought starts from a search for a universal theory that fits all purposes, all societies, all cultures and all fields. Yet we see no single theory is accepted today. Instead we have theories devised and developed at different times with applications to different aspects of the management role.In the East, there are theories that have roots to Ancient Egypt or China; while the participation of Arab and Islamic scholars was very limited, due to the fact that their civilization was targeted by others, especially the Crusaders or the Mongols, who destroyed their Cultures in their cradles (Baghdad or Damascus), when they invaded their homelands and killed their scholars.Consequently, their priorities were mixed up and they became retroactive instead of being proactive; except for three recent endeavours:1)                   Dr. Tariq Al-Sweidan in Kuwait,  2)                   Prof. Abdul Aziz Abu Nab’a, in Palestine, and3)                   Dr Abdul Muti M. Assaf in JordanAgain those theorists undermined the Ethical, Belief and Cultural/Behavioral straightness, but in some way tackled the surrounding environments that shape the organizational culture and the leaders as well.None of them could be categorized as to serve andface challenged for all the recent purposes.I presume, that my theory, The Comprehensive Islamic Management Theory (I) will fit. Let us try it.

Theological Training

The article hypothesises that the historical development of Pentecostal hermeneutics is closely related to and illustrated by Pentecostals’ attitude towards theological training. A short survey is given of the development of theological training within the Pentecostal movement in order to demonstrate how it accompanied a change in the way the Bible was considered during the past century in terms of three phases. For the first three decades Pentecostals had no inclination towards any theological training; they considered that the Bible provided all they needed to know and what was important was not what people in biblical times experienced with or stated about God, but the way these narratives indicate contemporary believers to an encounter with God themselves, resulting in similar experiences. From the 1940s, Pentecostals for several reasons sought acceptance and approval and entered into partnerships with evangelicals, leading to their acceptance of evangelicals’ way of reading the Bible in a fundamentalist-literalist way. From the 1970s they established theological colleges and seminaries where theologians consciously developed Pentecostal hermeneutics in affinity with early Pentecostal hermeneutics, although most Pentecostals still read the Bible in a fundamentalist-literalistic way − as do the evangelicals. Its hermeneutics determined its anti-intellectual stance and the way Pentecostals arranged the training of its pastors. The history of the Pentecostal movement cannot be understood properly without realising the close connection between its hermeneutics and its view of theological training.

Povzetek V članku obravnavamo koncept lahke pehote in njeno vlogo v četrti generaciji vojskovanja, kot je bila opredeljena v prejšnjih prispevkih. Sodobno razumevanje lahke pehote je pogosto zavajajoče in neskladno z zgodovinskim razumevanjem pojma in koncepta lahke pehote. Podrobneje so predstavljene glavne značilnosti prave lahke pehote in zakaj te povsem ustrezajo potrebam četrte generacije vojskovanja. Pogledamo tudi, na kakšnih izkušnjah bi SV lahko utemeljevala svojo povezanost s konceptom klasične lahke pehote, in ponudimo enega izmed mogočih pristopov k spremembi organizacijske kulture, če bi ta želela prevzeti bistvene značilnosti lahke pehote. Nazadnje obravnavamo še nekaj elementov organizacije in strukture, ki bi v povezavi s konceptom lahke pehote ustrezali potrebam SV za delovanje v četrti generaciji vojskovanja. Ključne besede Lahka pehota, frontna pehota, organizacijska kultura, četrta generacija vojskovanja. Abstract The article presents the light infantry concept and its role in fourth generation warfare as defined in author’s previous articles. Classical light infantry has a specific set of characteristics and the way NATO looks at it is not in accord with them and a historical perspective on light infantry. The article discusses in detail the key characteristics of light infantry and how they relate to fourth generation warfare. It also looks at how the SAF is related to the concept of light infantry, and how it should change its organizational culture if it would want to impregnate itself with light infantry mentality. Lastly, it looks at some elements linked to SAF organization and structure related to the concept of light infantry and fourth generation warfare. Key words Light infantry, line infantry, organizational culture, fourth generation warfare.

This article examines whether an expansion to the tort of conversion to cover intangible property is warranted. In the 2007 case of OBG Ltd v Allan (OBG), the majority of the House of Lords held in favour of retaining the rule that only tangible property may be subject to an action in conversion, while the minority argued that expansion of the tort is necessary based on principle, the history of conversion and developments in other jurisdictions. The OBG decision is set in its historical context through an analysis of the origins and extensive history of the tort of conversion. The article concludes there is nothing in the history of the tort that stands in the way of expansion to cover cases of interference with intangible interests, and argues that such an extension would be a welcome development in the New Zealand context.

Management Theories

The aim of this article is to explore the way the notion of culture has been presented in management theories. In some instances, the concept was absent; but a closer inspection can reveal that culture was an issue or a challenge for managers – as it was the case with taylorism, which actually tried to overcome the cultural differentiation of the workforce. Today, intercultural management and the concept of organizational culture are a crucial part of management theory and education. But the abundance of books and articles on the impact of culture on the economy poses yet another challenge for the students of culture. Is this phenomenon understood correctly, and does intercultural management do justice to the nature of culture and intercultural relations? Perhaps the focus on culture has been blown out of proportion, and perhaps it is meant to hide a purely technocratic attitude toward the workforce? Nevertheless, it would be hard to understand globalization without taking into account the transcultural phenomen of today’s management.

The history of reception of ancient Egypt deals with the perceptions and images of ancient Egypt in the West that emerged without direct access to ancient Egyptian sources, especially without proper knowledge of the hieroglyphs. It deals with texts, images and art as part of the history of ideas and with material culture as well. It is not about the question of whether these images and concepts correspond to the historical realities in ancient Egypt, but about the question of the way in which ancient Egypt was referred to, and about the relevance of this concept in the history of the West.

AbstractBicameralism is traditionally considered necessary to the principle of the limitation of power and, as such, a key feature of the liberal constitutional state. Yet the history of the French Revolution reveals that this has not always been the case and that bicameralism's relationship to liberal constitutionalism is more complex than is traditionally assumed. This article will discuss how the Abbé Sieyès, one of the founding fathers of modern constitutionalism, rejected bicameralism not only because it was contrary to the revolutionary principle of equality, but also because it did not actually succeed at limiting power. Even worse, bicameralism would threaten the constitutional system by forcing the legislative power into procedural impasses that would eventually open the way to despotism. Putting Sieyès's claims in historical perspective, the paper aims to offer some historical nuance and insights into bicameralism's relationship to liberal constitutionalism.

AbstractThis article brings together evidence from both documentary texts and royal inscriptions from Susa in order to develop a chronological and historical perspective on the transitional period between the loss of control of the Ur III empire and the institutionalization of the Sukkalmaḫ regime. A study of the archaeological and archival context of the administrative texts resulted in a new chronology for the beginning of the Sukkalmaḫat, the basic argument for which is the early dating of the rule of Atta-ḫušu. Newly discovered inscriptions and new interpretations of existing inscriptions serve not only to adjust this chronology, but also to pave the way for an innovative and coherent socio-economic history of the early Sukkalmaḫat.
