La organización del trabajo por proyectos: La fábrica de la precariedad laboral
2019
The project-based organization, considered as a radical reorganization of work around one or more simultaneous projects, is nowadays widespread in large companies and public administrations. According to the managerial way of thinking, this system would be virtuous: by giving more autonomy to the employees in the act of production and by developing their skills through mobility and interdisciplinarity of work teams, it would be able to arouse their full commitment. This study confirms in some way how this opinion has been imposed, but at the expense of precarious working conditions, increasing the dedication of employees and silencing any form of criticism. The research is based on a review…
Karl Holl (1866-1926) – luterański badacz źródeł patrystycznych
2019
Treść niniejszego artykułu została poświęcona badaczowi starożytności chrześcijańskiej, jakim był żyjący na przełomie XIX i XX wieku Karl Holl (1866-1926). Urodzony w rodzinie protestanckiej znacznie angażował się w pogłębienie i rozwój protestantyzmu w Niemczech zarówno aktywnością społeczno-religijną, jak i twórczością pisarską. Obok tego pasma działalności w jego życiu okazał się on ponadto wybitnym historykiem, publikując także przyczynki naukowe odnoszące się do starożytności chrześcijańskiej. Spośród nich na szczególną wzmiankę zasługują wydania krytyczne obejmujące pisma Epifaniusza. Śmiało zaprezentował bowiem swój punkt widzenia w kwestii autorstwa utworów ukazujących Epifaniusza j…
Participatory research methods with young children : a systematic literature review
2023
This systematic literature review aimed to ascertain what participatory methods for young children have been used in peer-reviewed empirical articles. A systematic literature search yielded 75 articles. Based on their methodology, the studies were divided into six categories: (1) multi-method and the Mosaic approach, (2) observation and ethnography, (3) language-based methods, (4) visual methods, (5) creative and playful methods, and (6) children as co-researchers. The participatory features of these methods were then analyzed. The articles foregrounded the importance of the reflective use of methods, ethically grounded research practices, and carefully considering young children’s particip…
Entrepreneurs and Growth : An Option, Obligation or Obsession?
2018
“Growth” as a word carries a positive tone in it; human beings grow and mature, gaining new knowledge and resources, and so do companies. Growth, however, has never been for all. In competitive markets, some grow and others do not—or grow at slower pace than others. Furthermore, growth is a process that strains the capabilities and resources of an individual, company, and its acting entrepreneurs to their extreme. Growth means also learning and leaving behind something learned of possessed before. Growth disrupts the history and path of a single company and its entrepreneur. The text synthetizes the scattered literature in growth and entrepreneurship. A case study shows how growth is viewed…
Enterprise Architecture : A Perspective on How Far We Have Come, and Directions for the Future
2019
Enterprise Architecture (EA) appears to retain the attention of both practitioners and researchers, as the technological complexity of organizations grows. Several researchers have noted that research on EA has been diversifying over time, leading to inconsistent use of terminologies. Further, the benefit claims and other results, rather frequently, are not based on empirical evidence. These shortfalls in research on EA impede EA from maturing as a discipline and from demonstrating its benefit claims. Although there are reasons to believe that the research on EA has progressed, the extent of the progress and the directions for future research are not evident. This study draws on a meta-revi…
Systems Approaches in the Enterprise Architecture Field of Research: A Systematic Literature Review
2018
This study explores the use of the systems approaches (systems thinking and systems theories) as the theoretical underpinnings for Enterprise Architecture (EA) research. Both the academic and the practitioner communities have maintained an interest in EA due to its potential benefits, promising for the recent technological and business advances. EA as a research area is, however, characterized by diversified views depicted in different definitions of the concept, and no acknowledged common theoretical foundation. A number of prior studies have noticed this gap in the EA field of research, and called for a strengthening of the theory of EA. Variegated systems approaches have been suggested a…
Frontiera geografica e frontiere mentali nella «Saga di Eirik il Rosso»
2022
La «Saga di Eirik il Rosso» («Eiríks saga rauða») appartiene al gruppo delle “Family Sagas” ("Íslendinga sögur") dell’antica letteratura islandese. Essa si configura come un testo di straordinario interesse storico e antropologico perché contiene una delle più antiche narrazioni della penetrazione dei Vichinghi, prima in Groenlandia e poi nel Nuovo Continente (la cosiddetta Vinlandia), circa 500 anni prima della “scoperta” dell’America da parte di Cristoforo Colombo. Ma è anche un testo ricco di suggestioni che afferiscono alle dimensioni del magico, del meraviglioso, dell’immaginario, e insieme un’opera nella quale la “frontiera” geografica si fonde e si confonde – nella redazione scritta …
