CHANGE OR DIE? ; BAGAIMANA MENGELOLA PERUBAHAN DALAM ORGANISASI TETAP SURVIVE MENGHADAPI TANTANGAN GLOBAL

The development of a dynamic, unpredictable organizational environment is required for organizations to manage changes to survive. This research aims to explore the approach of managing change in the organization and the factors of resistance to change. This study uses this type of literature research, by tracing articles, books, and documents relevant to this study. The results found there are six steps in making organizational changes, namely: Forces for change, Diagnosis of the problem, Selection appropriate methode, impediment and limiting condition, Implementation of method, evaluation programe. While factors cause resistance to change, include: habits, fear of unwanted things, economic factors, lack of confidence in the work situation, fear of failure, loss of status or job security, no benefit gained from change. The success of changes in the organization is heavily influenced by leadership factors. Therefore, strong, visionary, and transformational leadership is needed to achieve the goals of change in the organization.

A multi-criteria optimization approach to modeling negotiation process

The paper presents a multi-criteria optimization approach to modeling negotiation process. The negotiation process is modeled as a special multi-criteria problem. The method for finding solutions is the interactive selection process of some proposals. The parties shall submit their proposals on the subjects of the negotiations. These proposals are parameters of the multi-criteria optimization problem. Selection of solutions is accomplished by solving the optimization problem with parameters that define the aspirations of each party involved in the negotiations. Finally, evaluation of the solutions obtained by the parties is made.

Concepts in geomorphology: An alternative view – a response to Gregory and Lewin (2015)

The term ‘concept’ as normally used by geomorphologists refers to defined ideas in the corpus of knowledge, World 3 of Popper. However, psychologists and philosophers regard them as parts of mental processes that take place in memory, World 2. A World 3 perspective demands clarity and definition of ideas, whereas a World 2 perspective is about fluidity and power of association with other ideas. In memory, concepts act as mnemonics. Taking a World 2 perspective has implications for research and teaching. It helps us to understand the use of concepts in the development of ideas, through imagination and conjecture, as well as matters of problem selection and mode of argument. Testability, though not an intrinsic aspect of concepts, is also intimately bound up with conceptualisation of problems and method. These notions of concepts have implications for research and teaching since they affect how we understand and practice geomorphology as a knowledge domain and how we address the mental skills of memory, imagination and creativity.

Profile Matching in Solving Rank Problem

This research aims to solve the problem selection to a decision. In the profile matching method, a parameter assessed on the difference between the target value with the value that is owned by an individual. There are two important parameters in this method such as core factors and secondary factors. These values are converted into a percentage of weight so as to produce the final decision as a determinant of the data which will be closer to the predetermined targets. By doing this method, sorting the data against specific criteria that are dynamicallyperformed.

Relational Distance and Epistemic Generosity: The Power of Detachment in Skeptical Ethnography

Much contemporary ethnography hopes to engage with a community to justify social critique. Whether from problem selection, interpersonal rewards, or a desire for exchange, researchers often take the “side” of informants. Such an approach, linked to “public ethnography,” marginalizes a once-traditional approach to fieldwork, that of the ethnographic stranger. I present a model of scholarly detachment and questioning of group interests. Drawing on my own experiences and those of members of the Second Chicago School, I argue for an approach in which an unaffiliated observer questions community interests, arguing that skepticism of local explanations can discover processes shared by other scenes and can develop transsituational concepts. While the ethnographer can be seduced into sharing a group’s perspective, observational distancing can mitigate this. In an approach I label skeptical ethnography, the ethnographic stranger avoids partisan allegiance in the field and at the desk. Skepticism of local interests must be combined with an epistemic generosity that recognizes that all action, whether seemingly righteous or repellent, responds to an interaction order.
