Normative Implications

THE concept of ownership is a complex, powerful and controversial idea. In law it explains, justifies and gives moral force to a host of rights and duties as well as serving to legitimate the allocation of wealth and privilege. The influence of this idea is, furthermore, everywhere embodied in the law. In company law, legal and economic conceptions have both rested on and have been shaped by the normative implications of ownership. Historically, ownership was the principal explanation and justification for the central role of shareholders in corporate affairs. As owners, shareholders were entitled to control the management of the company and to the exclusive benefit of the company's activities. Ownership also served to legitimate the corporate form itself. So long as it was owned by individuals the economic and political power of the company was both benign and a bulwark against the intrusion of the state.

Coherent Body

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to undertake a personal, historical, analytical and interpretive investigation of the evolution of the concept of authentic leadership in educational administration/leadership over a number of decades. Design/methodology/approach – The paper includes the author's reflections on his own journey on the topic as well as an analysis of the contributions of great researchers, theorists and writers since early in the twentieth century but, especially, since the early 1960s. Findings – While there is no coherent body of literature on the development of the concept of authentic leadership, there is a general discernible trend starting with a focus on self (know thyself, to thine own self be true); to considering and defining self in relationships; to accepting that there is a moral force behind notions of self-fulfillment; to recognising that authentic leaders operate in a real post-modern (perhaps post-post modern) world of pressures, paradoxes and ethical challenges. This is often a world of standards, assessment and accountability for performance outcomes. Originality/value – The paper draws on the author's own research journey and legacy on the topic as well as the contributions of “giants in the field” who have continually pushed the envelope when exploring the topic and closely interrelated topics.

Moral Force

The value of "motherhood" has become a platitude, but it has so little moral force that, all over the country, we are forcing mothers to put their infants in day care so they can take jobs at the minimum wage. What does it say about our priorities that we feel it's more important for these women to flip hamburgers or clean hotel rooms than to care for their babies?

Manchester City

This essay takes two cultural phenomena that are not normally compared, UK football culture and Cuban literary culture, as the foundation for a reflection on the crucial role that mass participation plays in each. ‘The twelfth man’ - a term that usually refers to the home fans that impel a team to victory - is employed here as a metaphor to describe the cognitive, corporeal, affective and moral force of mass physical participation and its impact on the individual, the collective and the institution, be that a global football club or contemporary Cuban society. The essay advocates that paying attention to the dialogic and mutually constitutive relationship between individual, collective and institution, a relationship based simultaneously on identification and differentiation, is key to the harmonization of interests that can underpin the continued effectiveness of any cultural phenomenon, especially in times of rapid change.
