Types Of Change

The organisational change is a phenomenon which has gained attention from theoretists and practioners alike. The paper analyzes the notion of change, oragnizational change and types of change. The paper is of theoretical nature. Several authors have perceived organisational change as a “response” to an organisation’s internal and/or external environment. The paper investigates different perspectives of emergent change basing on Kanter et al., (1992) Kotter (1996) and Luecke (2003). The author highlights that these three models have some common features: a development of vision and leadership. On the other hand Strobel (2015) refutes the argument that there is “one best way” that can be applied in all situations and organisations, when managing change, and promotes the idea of “one best way” for each situation and organisation individually. Moreover the drivers and types of organizational change are presented. Several forces driving organisational change have been identified and they basically involve factors with regards to both the internal and external environment of an organisation.

Types Of Change

Kinaesthesis, the sensing of body movement, which is essential for controlling activity, depends on registering the changes which accompany body movement. While there are two basic types of change—mechanical (articular, cutaneous, and vestibular) and visual—and so two potential sources of kinaesthetic information, the mechanical changes have traditionally been considered the basis of kinaesthesis, vision being considered a purely exteroceptive sense. J.J. Gibson, on the other hand, has argued that vision is a powerful kinaesthetic sense. To test this idea visual–mechanical kinaesthetic conflicts were created by moving the visible surroundings linearly forward and backward around a passively or actively moving subject. In most cases vision dominated. Therefore vision is not a purely exteroceptive sense, nor is visual kinaesthesis simply an adjunct to mechanical kinaesthesis. Vision is an autonomous kinaesthetic sense.

Literary Ethnography

The article reveals the phenomenon of frontier mentality and its syncretic features and marginal character. Being the birth of the border (frontier), this type of mentality is a complex construct, a specific ideological and psychological formation, the problems of which, on the one hand, are determined by social, geographical, historical and other factors, and on the other hand, are exposed to the external environment and embedded in various spheres of human existence. Among Russian emigrants who were carriers of the Russian logocentric culture, creativity becomes one of the main such spheres, especially literary one. Through the word, not only individual personality features of the authors were recorded, but also common tendencies of frontier mentality and the mentality of this historical period. The author, using the example of literary ethnography, makes an attempt to distinguish these features and the main trends in the mentality of Russian emigrants in China.

Preference Handling

Qualitative Choice Logic (QCL) and Conjunctive Choice Logic (CCL) are formalisms for preference handling, with especially QCL being well established in the field of AI. So far, analyses of these logics need to be done on a case-by-case basis, albeit they share several common features. This calls for a more general choice logic framework, with QCL and CCL as well as some of their derivatives being particular instantiations. We provide such a framework, which allows us, on the one hand, to easily define new choice logics and, on the other hand, to examine properties of different choice logics in a uniform setting. In particular, we investigate strong equivalence, a core concept in non-classical logics for understanding formula simplification, and computational complexity. Our analysis also yields new results for QCL and CCL. For example, we show that the main reasoning task regarding preferred models is ϴ₂P-complete for QCL and CCL, while being Δ₂P-complete for a newly introduced choice logic.

For many years economic theorists are working on issues of development and functioning of business. This is the topic of many articles, it is made numerous findings and proposals concerning the issues of planning, efficiency management, distribution of profits, etc. Along with this, the influence of external environment on individual businesses is not sufficiently researched. The most sensitive to external microenvironment small business is concentrated mainly in the major cities, agglomeration systems. On the one hand, it creates the basis for agglomeration economies, on the other hand, it is entirely dependent on the administrative and managerial processes occurring in it. In this regard, the establishment of an effective management model agglomeration can improve the performance of the business. What models of agglomeration systems are there? Which one is the most effective? The article considers what problems have authorities in the organization of this process.

The current study aims to describe and diagnose the elements of Knowledge capital (human capital, structural capital, client capital) and areas of organizational change which are (structural change, change of tasks, technological change) in the surveyed organizations, as well as this study emphasizes to the importance of the role and having of knowledge capital to reach an effective organizational change. The study has depended on (SPSS-20) program and a number of statistical tools to analyze and to find out the relationship between variables. To achieve the objective of the study, the questionnaire has been distributed to (40) of head of departments and administrative units in the University of Zakho, and only (30) questionnaires have retrieved. The study has reached to a number of findings. Most importantly, the availability of knowledge capital in organizations is an essential and important requirement to achieve effective organizational change and supports the direction of organizations that seek to survive, grow and adapt to the external environment surrounding them. On the other hand, the study has suggested that it’s necessary to give more attention and support knowledge capital in organizations. This is because the individuals who work in these organizations and have knowledge are considered the power for moving and driving the process of change.

In general, a functionality and performance of any social or economic process is conditioned by an appropriate information support, while several parts of social and economic process might be involved into macroprocess structure and functionality and quantified via two independent linguistic sets. On one hand, the first linguistic set contains elements, which provide transfer of signals coming from external environment to macroprocesses and are denoted as sensors. On the other hand, the second linguistic set contains elements, which provide transfer of signals from macroprocesses to external environment denoted as effectors. However, a content of the above-mentioned linguistic sets is being transferred microeconomy and creative economy business processes (CE Processes) as well, while appropriate business strategy KPI indicators and parameters for setting of adequate business process metrics items, which could enable fulfillment of business strategy goals and aims, are being generated However, the data transfer from creative economy to macroeconomic process (MAC Processes) is important as well, while the microeconomy business processes (MIC Processes) play a role of go-between elements for both directions of transfer too. On the other hand, the chapter deals with the DTS System structure, functionality description as well as conceptual, design and implementation model too, where appropriate networks play a role of principle importance.

Private And Public

Eavesdropping scenes are common features of ancient and modern literary creations. However, in spite of the contemporary interest in the literary and artistic character of biblical narratives, eavesdropping scenes in biblical narratives have received little scholarly treatment. This paper engages the presence, use and functions of eavesdropping scenes in biblical narrative. In particular, eavesdropping scenes aid characterization, trigger the plots of stories, introduce turning points, and increase the mimetic qualities of the story. On the other hand, eavesdropping scenes breach the borderlines between the private and public spaces by taking readers into the private world of biblical characters. On this discourse level, the reader also becomes an eavesdropper by overhearing/ reading the conversations situated in these eavesdropping scenes. In the same way, the narrator also shares the posture of the eavesdropper in the hearing/retelling of the story to the intended readers.

It is unlikely that in any other disease there have been more attempts to establish a classification than in tbc. And this is quite understandable. The value of tuberculosis as a social disease is of great interest for a public physician, statistician and clinical practitioner, on the other hand, the multifaceted clinical manifestations of tbc infection, from galloping consumption of old authors to chronic forms of benign pulmonary tbc, creates great difficulties for the clinician in his daily work. And the doctor at the patient's bedside, individualizing the case, nevertheless looks in it for those common features that unite similar groups of patients. This gives him the opportunity, using one or another scheme, to somewhat facilitate his complex work on identifying and differentiating the tbc material. If we add to this the need to establish a common language for scientific and social purposes (mass surveys, studying the influence of the profession on tbc, statistical processing of materials from tuberculosis institutions, clarifying issues of working capacity, sending to a sanatorium, etc.), then the need for a unified classification of tbc will appear undeniable. What are the basic requirements for a tuberculosis classification?

Companies that are not able to adapt to changing environment then it will fail in his efforts. One of the changes that are happening at the moment is the marketing system with a system of dropship. On the other hand being debated dropship marketing system for the leaders of religion in Indonesia. There are some religious leaders denounce as there are elements of gharar and partly justifies. Islam is the perfect religion. Most of the religious leaders gave an answer that is clearly selling dropship allowed in Islam with a record must meet the Islamic jurisprudence. The solution is through the Covenant of samirah, wakalah and salam. Thus the law of selling dropship system is allowed, as long as there are no prohibited items.</em></p>

Oirat and Kalmyk constitute the western branch of Mongolic languages. “Oirat” is a general signifier of dialects having common features, whose speakers live scattered in a vast territory of North Eurasia (Mongolia, China, Russia, and Kyrgyzstan). Kalmyk originates from Oirat, but became a separate language in a Turkic and Russian environment in Eastern Europe. As the groups of Oirat speakers live separately in different countries and differing language environments (Khalkha, Chinese, Uyghur, Kazakh, Tibetan, Russian, and Kyrgyz), the research of its dialects is crucial for the better understanding of such linguistic strategies as the survival and revival of “typical” Oirat features in an ethnic minority position. On the other hand, the processes of change under the influence of neighboring peoples and languages can be well observed and compared. The sources for the present article are predominantly the fieldwork results from the 20th and 21st centuries (including the author’s records) and travelers’ materials from the 17th–19th centuries.
