Probing language in Tanzania within Western oriented business organisations : analysis of senior managers' workplace discourses in different social groupsRafner, Carl Ottar January 2015 (has links)
This study from Tanzania contributes to the understanding of the management discourses circulating amongst senior managers in Western owned companies in Tanzania. It identifies two dominant discourses, a Western derived Contractual discourse and the local derived Kinship discourse. The division of their use is not by ethnic origin of senior managers but are drawn on in various ways by all managers. This research focuses on senior experienced managers from three different nationalities who were asked to tell stories from their experiences in management life. Their stories contain their perceptions of various populations and show their evaluations of those populations. Analysis shows how people draw on discourses circulating within their societies, reveals these actual underlying discourses, and explores the languages used in communication. Two sets of communication languages emerged from this analysis, the Western contractual and the local kinship discourse. Western contractual thinking rests upon efficiency and profit-making. This stands in contrast to the kinship thinking which is rooted in communal and humanistic values. These contrasting discourses contribute to misunderstanding, but there is common ground between them. If this commensurable dimension is internalised, a local Tanzanian management discourse may appear that would represent a new management discourse. An organisational framework that may support this discourse’s emergency and circulation is suggested.

Probing language in Tanzania within western oriented business organisations. Analysis of senior managers' workplace discourses in different social groupsRafner, Carl Ottar January 2015 (has links)
This study from Tanzania contributes to the understanding of the
management discourses circulating amongst senior managers in Western owned
companies in Tanzania. It identifies two dominant discourses, a
Western derived Contractual discourse and the local derived Kinship
discourse. The division of their use is not by ethnic origin of senior
managers but are drawn on in various ways by all managers.
This research focuses on senior experienced managers from three
different nationalities who were asked to tell stories from their experiences
in management life. Their stories contain their perceptions of various
populations and show their evaluations of those populations. Analysis
shows how people draw on discourses circulating within their societies,
reveals these actual underlying discourses, and explores the languages
used in communication. Two sets of communication languages emerged
from this analysis, the Western contractual and the local kinship discourse.
Western contractual thinking rests upon efficiency and profit-making. This
stands in contrast to the kinship thinking which is rooted in communal and
humanistic values. These contrasting discourses contribute to
misunderstanding, but there is common ground between them. If this
commensurable dimension is internalised, a local Tanzanian management
discourse may appear that would represent a new management discourse.
An organisational framework that may support this discourse’s emergency
and circulation is suggested.

A Win-Win Approach to Promoting Cooperation Between Business Organisations and Business Education: The Role of InternshipsYasin, Mahmoud M., Gomes, Carlos F., Miller, Phillip E. 01 January 2015 (has links)
Utilising internship evaluation forms of students from different majors, who were attending two universities in the USA, and Portugal, this research sought to assess relevant abilities, skills, and attitudes impacting the job performance of these students during their internships. Based on the evaluations analysed, it appears that executives of business organisations tended to value other non-technical aspects of performance, rather than merely the technical aspects. The implications and recommendations of this research to business education, and the business community are presented in the form of two conceptual frameworks. The frameworks are designed to promote win-win relationships, which enhance the employability of business graduates. The proposed frameworks stress the consistency, and the systematic approach to the business-like educational model.
