Management And Leadership

"Management" and "leadership" are currently two buzz words in the Canadian LIS community. Although these topics receive scholarly attention, epistemological and theoretical basis for that work is limited. LIS needs to expand the conceptual frameworks used to study these topics by looking to the discipline of Educational Administration and Leadership.La gestion et le leadership sont des mots à la mode au sein de la communauté canadienne des sciences de l'information. Malgré toute l'attention que leur accorde la recherche universitaire, les bases épistémologiques et théoriques pour en parler sont limitées. La communauté des sciences de l'information doit élargir le cadre conceptuel d'étude de ces sujets en se basant sur l'administration et le leadership en milieu scolaire.

Abstract The Trial (1925) yields to interpretations within and outside the literary circles and the general view has been that the text is obscured. This popular submission has affected scholarly attention on the text, but this does not dissuade critical studies on the text. This study engages critical readings of The Trial, paying attention to the theoretical and conceptual frameworks that have formed the grounds of being for such readings, as well as topical and thematic issues in the text. Thus, this paper answers the question on the techniques of studying The Trial. The recent and less recent works on The Trial respectively give attention to both material and nonmaterial worlds as captured in the text. This study explores the historical, philosophical, and formalistic views on The Trial as captured in various studies. The conclusion is that the knowledge of The Trial as a literary text possible through a close reading, even though several readings have treated it as the author’s commentary on his own society. Such readings take a position that the text offers an interpretation of a certain human society somewhere. Yet some of the critical readings treat the text as art and generate literary discourses from it. Keywords: readings, critical, modernist, literature, Kafka

Scholarly Attention

History continually messes up the neat conceptual frameworks and the more or less elegant theoretical speculations with which we endeavor to understand the past and forecast the future of the world we live in. In recent years, two events stand out as eminently subversive of the intellectual landscape: the sudden demise of the USSR as one of the two main loci of world power and the gradual rise of East Asia to epicenter of world -scale processes of capital accumulation. Although each event has received more than its due of scholarly attention, it is their joint occurrence that has the most significant conceptual and theoretical implications.

Abstract More and more scholarly attention is being paid to the challenges of governing artificial intelligence and emergent technologies. Most of the focus remains on questions of how to preserve the human-centeredness of increasingly advancing machine-driven technologies. I problematize discourses of “human-centered AI” that prioritize human control over nonhuman intelligences as a solution for the challenges posed by emergent technologies like artificial intelligence. Posthumanism provides a compelling theoretical basis for this line of questioning and for reimagining alternative ethical constructs. I outline and consider three distinct scenarios in which (a) humans are at the center of command and control, (b) humans and nonhumans share control, (c) human oversight is completely removed. I suggest that more attention could be given to critical and speculative ways of reimagining the concepts of “human,” “nonhuman,” and human/nonhuman relations.

Oriented Approach

In the context of the globalizing world and the modern information age, a question of present interest in the organization of the learning process is the implementation and applying of the person-oriented approach. The advanced functions of the educational interaction aim to promote the child's individuality in common forms of activity. The unity of the pedagogical communication functions (educative, training and corrective) is necessary to ensure the child, the group and the aging microclimate in organizing the child-environment interaction. Achieving optimal pedagogical communication is part of a thorough reflection on educational strategies and a transition to the personality-oriented nature of the educational process. In fact, the construction of a person-oriented approach requires an understanding of both the whole and the parts, in the context of the whole. In this connection, the theoretical basis can be linked to the student-centered teaching explanation as its principal consumer, which is aimed at satisfying the needs of the child and achieving individual growth through intense interaction among all characters involved in this interaction. The basis of the person-oriented approach is the value of the educator towards the child, the childhood as a unique period of his life related to the affirmation of child`s active position.

In light of renewed debate regarding publication rigor and ethics, this commentary raises questions about the subjectivity of the peer review process. We argue that the same biases organizational scientists consider as topics of our research—such as confirmation bias, negative bias, anchoring and adjustment, overconfidence bias, and social dynamics—may infect the scholarship process. In addition to these general phenomena, we examine subtle biases that may be unique to or exacerbated within diversity management scholarship. We describe the theoretical basis of such biases and offer preliminary evidence of their nuanced manifestations before outlining suggestions for their reduction.

The articles provide a critical examination of the history, progress, direction, and debates about perspectives in a given topic, surveying developments and tensions, and discussing important contributors and contributions. Authors were sought to cover the breadth of schools/universities and leadership practices at both the micro and macro levels, from theories of administration, management, and leadership to practices in specific contexts. The Encyclopedia provides a wide breadth of concepts and themes in the hopes of serving the complex world of practitioners and research scholars with courage, curiosity, and imagination.
