Predicting Executive Vacancies: An Organizational Approach

Throughout much of the history of the electricity industry in Australia and New Zealand the industry has been the subject of safety regulations. Although this regulation has been a constant throughout the life of the industry the organizational approach to regulation has changed over the years. Periodically in Australia and New Zealand history these questions have been raised in a political context, although notably the structure of safety regulators does not get much attention in the standard histories of the industry. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to discuss some of the general issues that have arisen in the reform of regulation in the case of electricity safety over the longer term and how it relates overall to the development of the electricity industry.

RESUMENEn este trabajo abordo el problema de la fundamentación teórica de la noción de normatividad natural desde una perspectiva naturalista. Presento el debate actual sobre las funciones biológicas en filosofía de la biología, en el cual pueden encontrarse algunos intentos de fundamentar las normas naturales a través del concepto de función biológica. Sostengo que el enfoque predominante etiológico-evolutivo no es capaz justificar la adscripción de normas naturales en los sistemas biológicos y propongo que la nueva perspectiva organizacional está en la mejor posición para ofrecer un tratamiento naturalista de la teleología biológica y de la normatividad natural.PALABRAS CLAVENORMATIVIDAD, FUNCIÓN, NATURALISMO, TELEOLOGÍA, MALFUNCIÓN, ORGANIZACIÓNABSTRACTIn this paper I consider the problem of the theoretical grounding of the notion of natural normativity for the naturalistic perspective. I present the current debate on biological functions in philosophy of biology in which there are some attempts to ground natural norms through the notion of biological function. I argue that the mainstream account, i.e. the evolutive-etiological approach, is not able to ground the ascription of natural norms in biological systems and I defend that the new organizational approach is in the best position to offer an adequate naturalistic account for biological teleology and natural normativity.KEYWORDSNORMATIVITY, FUNCTION, NATURALISM, TELEOLOGYGY, MALFUNCTION, ORGANIZATION

Purpose To describe an approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy development at a school of pharmacy aimed at stakeholder investment and infrastructure that can address systemic challenges in various healthcare settings. Summary The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy utilized an organizational approach focused on infrastructure to produce a diverse and inclusive school community. The Office of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) established vision and mission statements to represent the school’s commitment and conducted a comprehensive environmental scan to compose a shared vision. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni participated in a series of retreats, symposiums, and focus groups to identify opportunities to cultivate a diverse and inclusive school community. A working group comprised of key leaders in the school developed and launched a 3-year DEI Strategic Plan along with initiatives and metrics for year 1. The plan’s 3 priorities were (1) to recruit and retain diverse talent, (2) to prepare culturally intelligent professionals, and (3) to build an inclusive community. The ODI collaborated with internal and external stakeholders, which included students, faculty, staff, postdocs, alumni, and partners from health systems, industry, and other institutions and organizations, to initiate, implement, and monitor progress through an organizational approach to establish accountability and greater commitment. Conclusion An organizational approach to DEI strategy through stakeholder engagement and infrastructure increased commitment and shared ownership among members of the school community. Applications in an organizational approach can be adapted to multiple healthcare settings to contribute to the cultural transformation necessary to develop a diverse and inclusive healthcare workforce.
