Aligning the Diversity "Rubik" Cube: Conceptualising Transformative Practice

Sabinet African Journals, 2007

The purpose of this article is to critically interrogate the extent to which diversity practitioners' definitions of diversity create the potential for deep transformation. By employing critical management theory and discursive analysis, we identified three dimensions to the definitions: Categories of Difference, Engagement of Difference and Site of Change. Each of these is represented as one dimension of the Diversity "Rubik" Cube. Each dimension is described individually, after which interaction between them is examined. At each point the potential for deep transformation is examined. In most cases the potential for deep transformation offered by the Category of Difference is closed down by the Engagement with Difference. This interaction represents the dominant paradigms for thinking through diversity in management studies. We suggest that there is only one alignment of the dimensions that provides for deep transformative practice and we offer the Diversity "Rubik" Cube as a model that will allow management, practitioners and academics to identify that alignment.

Análise Da Efetividade e Da Razão Ótima Do Hedge Do Boi Gordo e Do Cross-Hedge Do Bezerro No Estado De São Paulo (2001 a 2010)

Análise Econômica

O trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a efetividade de uma operação de hedge do boi gordo e de cross-hedge do bezerro no estado de São Paulo como forma de minimizar riscos, utilizando dados referentes ao período de 2001 a 2010. Para tanto, avaliou-se a possibilidade de utilização do mercado futuro da BM&F-Bovespa, através do uso de contratos futuros de boi gordo. Nesse sentido, foram estimados três modelos econométricos: o risco de base do preço para os criadores de boi gordo e de bezerro, a razão ótima de hedge e cross-hedge e a efetividade dos mesmos. Os resultados obtidos pelo primeiro modelo apontaram um risco muito mais elevado para o bezerro vis-à-vis ao do boi gordo. Quanto ao segundo modelo, verificou-se uma razão hedge elevada do boi gordo e uma extremamente baixa para o bezerro. Já para a efetividade, obteve-se um percentual de proteção considerado bom em relação ao boi gordo e baixo para o bezerro.

Marginaal: Unfinished Business

1997

An introductory note to this special journal issue (see abstracts of related articles) laments the decline in interest in sociology in general & organizational sociology in particular since the 1960s. It is argued that sociology has suffered because it has not yet learned to cope with three forces determining the success of other scientific disciplines: (1) rapid advances in the natural & informational sciences; (2) emphasis on the study of pragmatic, potentially lucrative fields; & (3) the expanding role of amusements & diversions. Sociology is not in danger of dying out, but is likely to lose more ground in the future. 2 References. M. Meeks

Russell's moral philosophy

2007

Russell remains famous as a logician, a metaphysician, and as a philosopher of mathematics, but in his own day he was also notorious for his social and political opinions. He wrote an immense amount about practical ethics-women's rights, marriage and morals, war and peace, and the vexed question of whether socialists should smoke good cigars. (They should.) And unlike present-day practical ethicists (with a few notable exceptions such as Peter Singer) he was widely read by the nonphilosophical public. (See for instance Phillips 2013, which details Russell's successes as a popular moralist in the 1950s.) But though Russell was famous as a moralist and famous as a philosopher, he does not have much of a reputation as a moral philosopher in the more technical sense of the term. Until very recently, his contributions to what is nowadays known as ethical theory-meta-ethics (the nature and justification, if any, of moral judgments) and normative ethics (what makes right acts right etc)were either unknown, disregarded or dismissed as unoriginal. Key texts on the history of twentieth century ethics-Warnock's Ethics Since 1900 (1978), Urmson's The Emotivist Theory of Ethics (1968), Milller's Contemporary Metaethics: an Introduction (2013) and Schroeder's Non-Cognitivism in Ethics (2010)-say nothing, or next to nothing, about Russell, at least in his capacity as a moral philosopher. It is only very recently-in the last fifteen years or so-that ethical theorists have begun to pay attention to him. (See Pigden 2003, 2007 and Potter 2006, though L.W. Aiken 1963 anticipated Potter and Pigden by about forty years.) Perhaps Russell would not have repined, since he professed himself dissatisfied with what he had said "on the philosophical basis of ethics" (RoE: 165/Papers 11: 310). But since he took an equally dim view of what he had read on that topic, the fact that he did not think much of his own 1.
