<p> Expatriate knowledge transfer is often disrupted, which creates a loss of learning for the sending organization.

This research examines knowledge transfer through the lived experiences of expatriates, focusing on the characteristics of “ability to transfer” and “motivation to transfer” and their representation as “noise” in the communication system.

<p>A case study in the sociology of scientific knowledge is presented involving an examination of the development of Thomas Hobbes' mechanics in light of Hobbes' political views and the political context. Hobbes provides a good subject for research in the sociology of scientific knowledge for at least two reasons. First, Hobbes is a good case for examining the interaction between science and the broader political context. Given the controversial nature of Hobbes' political writings (supposedly grounded in his mechanics and aimed at resolving contemporary political problems), the possibility th

Furthermore, several researchers ask the question whether a female leader can be considered without being related to the man. With this as a background, the purpose of the study has been founded, which is to study the beliefs that leaders in a managerial position have about leadership and power.

Thus, organizations that wish to survive in the current economy must find ways to capitalize on the strengths of knowledge workers by developing an understanding of the motivating forces driving knowledge workers.

The epistemological basis of medical education has been highly contested since the turn of the twentieth century, with 'traditional', science-based curricula gradually being replaced by 'innovative' curricula, purporting to be more holistic.

Abstract (sommario):

The discipline of International Relations is frequently depicted as an American dominated discipline. This disciplinary self-image has become so entrenched that it is rarely questioned and operates as a ‘quasi-fact’ within the field. However, the manner in which this widespread claim has been put forth is largely speculative. There is a surprising lack of data verifying the prominent notion, and indeed the ‘evidence’ that does exist is largely out-dated and methodologically problematic. As such, this thesis attempts to remedy this dearth of data by systematically investigating if and how the U

Changes in the international relations of Japan and the 'no-change' in the traditional 'mental states' of Japanese people create a general problem. The analysis made of the general problem in Chapter I indicates that it will be necessary to develop various models for further analysis. The extent to which Japan has bee

Between 1957 and 1962, the Institute of Community Studies (ICS) published a series of bestselling sociological studies of the working class that rendered the Institute a “sociological phenomenon”.

As a result, their theories came to occupy a key place in political and sociological discussions of class.
