This chapter introduces the theory and model of governance as a means of implementing knowledge management strategies in large organizations. It draws on case study research into the governance of knowledge management strategy implementation in a major scientific research and development facility. It suggests that the implementation of strategy through such a framework operates to ensure the delivery of anticipated benefits in an authorized and regulated manner. Furthermore, the authors hope that an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of internal governance processes will not only inform researchers of a better design for studying knowledge management systems, but will also assist in the understanding of risks and the role of evaluation and review in the implementation of those strategies.

In the post-Independence era, development has been one of the key goals of the Indian state. Development is often seen as being synonymous with the process of modernisation and economic growth. Such a version of development has undoubtedly benefitted a few capitalists and layers of the middle class, yet it has remained in the realm of rhetoric for a large section of India’s tribal population. Development through mega projects displaces a large number of people. Displacement without adequate rehabilitation and compensation further aggravates the situation. In Odisha since 1993, few multinational and national companies have tried setting up mining projects in Kashipur. Many tribal villagers have protested strongly against these proposed projects from an egalitarian, environmental and social justice perspective. Significantly, women have remained in the forefront of these movements airing their concern. The article takes the case study of the Kashipur movement and critically analyses the role of women and their involvement in the struggle.

Anna Morandi was the foremost anatomist in eighteenth-century Bologna. Although her work was widely recognized as exceptional by the scientists of her day, she was not granted the standing of a scientist. In this chapter, the author uses Morandi as a case study to illuminate aspects of the philosophy of science. In particular, the chapter addresses conceptions of scientific objectivity and the role of social values in science, drawing on the work of Helen Longino. In addition to the phenomena described by Longino, the author argues that social values enter into science and impact scientific research by determining how individuals are positioned in scientific communities, or excluded from them.
