邁向理性的企業組織-以哈伯瑪斯的社會批判理論來透視組織變革管理的挑戰 / Toward a Rational Business Organization - Perspective of Changing Management Applying Jürgen Habermas’Social Critical Theory

陳致曉, Chen, Chih-Hsiao Unknown Date (has links)
成功的企業變革蘊涵著規範、觀念、與文化上的改變,其最終目的是要達成新規範的運作、成員對新組織的再認同、與新組織文化的再建構。一般如常管理主要考慮的是如何創造競爭優勢與提高效能,主要參照的「企業策略科學」與「科學管理學」並無法處理價值與信仰的課題,也未注重資訊與知識的流動與管理。單憑這兩類管理理論,無法因應變革管理的挑戰。本論文分析科特與彼德˙聖吉等管理學者提出的變革失敗原因,並將其歸納予批判社會學者哈伯瑪斯所述「生存環境的意義生產」的失效。作者檢討組織變革過程中的「社會規範」、「成員主觀」、與「客觀環境」等三個面向,認為有效溝通與真正共識為成功企業變革之所必需。 作者認為組織內的活動可以區分為「溝通」與「執行」兩個面向,各別對應到哈伯瑪斯所述的「實踐性理性」與「工具性理性」。本論文批判缺乏「實踐性理性」制衡的「工具性理性」妨礙企業的執行效能與知識生產,並闡述實踐性理性不可或缺的價值。唯有摒除由工具性理性發展的階層權力對溝通過程的干預,有效溝通與真正共識才能達成。作者亦就實行的層面提出在組織內建立「理想言辭情境」的方法。本論文從「實踐性理性」的觀點檢視組織變革,以「變革之輪」來闡明各變革階段應注意的工作。作者結合「生存環境的意義生產」與野中郁次郎的「組織知識創造論」檢視變革過程中,包含認知、價值觀、信仰、規範遵從、組織認同等「意義」的創造過程。如果變革過程中「實踐性理性」能得到彰顯,成功的變革會使成員得到意義生產的正向迴饋。這個「正向意義迴饋系統」將使企業進入一種得以持續對應新競爭局勢的動態平衡。 本文藉由Intel在1985年策略大轉折的實際案例來檢驗本文論述。對「導致組織變革失敗的根本原因為何?」、「如何建構適合因應外在環境的變化,並能成功完成變革的組織?」、「如何成功地完成組織的變革?」等三個組織變革管理的根本問題提出有系統的答案。本論文終結於對自我論述的批判。 / Organizational change is essential for the modern business entities to survive in the dynamic economical environment. However, many companies, which are successful in day-to-day operation, cannot accomplish the organizational change process, and result in fading out in the new competition environment. During organizational change processes, authority swinging and uncertainty about future make rumors prosperous; new rules and tactics have not been proved and are doubted; mutual trust between staffs and organization is shaky; and staffs become difficult to identify themselves with the organization. The above challenges are related to the dynamic management of information sharing, knowledge creating, staffs’ cognition, emotional consideration, mutual trust, and common consensus about new rules and the business entity’s future. The above conditions make changing management to be fundamentally different from the routine operational management. Strategic science and science management principles, which are generally adopted by companies to increase competition advantages and operational efficiency in the routine management, do not take account for the information and knowledge management, and cannot deal with the values and belief issues. Companies cannot just rely on the above two management principles to face challenges of the organizational change. The thesis analyzes the failure factors of changing management, which are disclosed by scholars like John P. Kotter and Peter M. Senge etc. The author correlates them with “meaning reproduction of living situation”, which was introduced by social critical philosopher Jürgen Habermas. Habermas believes efficient communication and true common consensus are essential to revive the meaning reproduction and to coordinate the social operation. The author inspects the “social”, ”subjective”, and “objective” aspects of the “living situation” of companies’ change phases, which were inferred from the eight steps of successful organizational changing addressed by John P. Kotter. The author elucidates that efficient communication and true common consensus are requisite for organization changing management. Habermas based on the two human basic actions, “labor” and “communication”, to categorizes rational into “instrumental rational” and “practical rational”. Instrumental rational aims at environment control and material productivity. Practical rational endeavors mutual understanding and common consensus. Habermas argued that the power developed by instrumental rational should be balanced by the values generated by practical rational; otherwise the power will oppress human society. The thesis criticizes that companies’ hierarchical power obstructs organizational operation, policy execution, information sharing and knowledge creation, as organizational instrumental rational is not tempered by corresponding practical rational. The irreplaceable values of organizational practical rational are further illustrated. To illuminate practical rational, it is necessary to eliminate the intimidation and temptation, which are induced by hierarchical power, from the communication actions. Habermas believes that comprehensive speech, true statement, right position and sincere attitude are the four valid assertions for the communication actions. If only all communicating participants have equal opportunities to partake, declare, interrogate, and explain, authorities and ideologies can be excluded from the communication actions. Habermas defined the above circumstances as the “idea speech situation”. The thesis argues that organizational activities can be categorized into the “execution” and “communication” dimensions, which correspond to the organizational “instrumental rational” and “practical rational”. Communication actions should not be interrupted by the hierarchy power of execution dimension. Rules and tactics should be supported by common consensus and thorough communication. Staffs should apply instrumental rational to execute the rules and tactics without objection. If only the organizational culture and merit system can ensure the above working principles, the business entity can achieve the advantages of both instrumental and practical rational. In additional to the theoretical elaboration, the thesis proposes manners to establish organizational ideal speech situation from “managers’ attitude”, “staffs’ consensus”, and “discussion processes” aspects. The author applies the above ideal speech situation exposition to different organizational changing management phases. The thesis constructs the organizational changing wheel to illustrate the key executive points to successfully drive continuous organizational evolution. Furthermore, the author integrates the above argumentation with the “organizational knowledge creating theory”, which was proposed by Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi. The “meaning reproduction” flow of the organizational changing wheel is constructed by investigating the internalization, externalization, universalization, and integration processes of meanings, which include information, knowledge, interests, intuition, values, belief, cognition, emotion, identification, obedience, and consensus etc. If the communication processes of the organizational change follow practical rational, and the organizational changing is successfully accomplished, staffs will received positive feedback from the intrinsic meanings they generated. The author expounds that the “positive meaning feedback loop” will accelerate the iteration of meaning reproduction cycles. The dynamic stability, supported by the “positive meaning feedback loop”, will ensure the business entity to continuously adjust itself to conquer new competition circumstances. To exam the above theorem, the author adopts Intel’s strategic transition in 1985 as an example. The case is interpreted fro

Storytelling tricksters: a reader’s coming-of-age in young adult fantasy fiction in Germany

Kim, Chorong 13 June 2018 (has links)
In this thesis, I examine three works of modern German fantasy fiction for young adults, their common grounding in the Romantic aesthetic framework and in particular the Romantic notion of creativity, and the implication of their unique fantasy fiction paradigm in our modern day. The novels are Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story (1979), Inkheart (2003) by Cornelia Funke and The City of Dreaming Books (2006) by Walter Moers. They represent a Germany-specific narrative paradigm which can be seen in the protagonist readers’ transformation from mere readers into storymakers/storytellers, and in the conflict between a book-loving hero and antagonists who are against literature. The protagonists embody the Romantic notion of creativity that involves the sublimation of a poet’s crisis into an exploration of the self. The mundane is infused with fantasy, thereby elevating reality to an idealised state. These Romantic storytelling readers act as tricksters, a fairy tale archetype that shares similarities with the figure of the Romantic poet. I employ the theoretical frameworks of German Romanticism, Frankfurt School critical theory, and postmodern models, including those by Deleuze and Guattari. I argue for a modern version of the trickster archetype which explains how a complacent, passive reader becomes an active storyteller. / Graduate

Thus, it investigates to what extent such a nexus considered part of this theory s immanent coherence can be found in the research carried out in the United States and published as The Authoritarian Personality. The first chapter is dedicated to the reconstruction of Horkheimer s notion of interdisciplinary materialism. The discussion is based on his inaugural lecture as the Institute director, and on his essays published during the 1930s. In the second chapter, the main empirical social research projects carried out by the Institute members, in Germany and in the United States, are presented. The third chapter is dedicated to Theodor W. Adorno, his critique of Sociology and his views about the accomplishment of empirical research in the scope of Critical Theory. The last chapter is dedicated to an analysis of The Authoritarian Personality, seeking connections between the theory and procedures and instruments, and also between theoretical elaborations on their results. / A presente tese discute a relação entre a Teoria Crítica da Sociedade e a pesquisa social empírica no Instituto de Pesquisas Sociais de Frankfurt, a partir de sua direção por Max Horkheimer, e investiga em que medida esse nexo considerado interno à teoria pode ser encontrado na pesquisa realizada nos Estados Unidos e publicada sob o título de The Authoritarian Personality. O primeiro capítulo é dedicado à reconstrução de ideia de materialismo interdisciplinar, proposto por Horkheimer, a partir de seu discurso inaugural como diretor do Instituto e de seus textos teóricos produzidos na década de 1930. No segundo capítulo, são apresentadas as principais pesquisas sociais empíricas realizadas pelos intelectuais do Instituto tanto na Alemanha, quanto no exílio americano. O terceiro capítulo é dedicado às críticas e reelaborações de Theodor W. Adorno a respeito de sua visão sobre a realização de pesquisas empíricas no âmbito da Teoria Crítica. O último capítulo é destinado às análises de The Authoritarian Personality, em busca de suas conexões com a teoria a partir tanto de seus procedimentos e instrumentos, quanto de suas elaborações teóricas a respeito de seus resultados.

A teoria crítica de H. Marcuse: fundamentação filosófica de um novo princípio de realidade / Critical theory of H. Marcuse: philosophical grounding of a new reality principle

Made available in DSpace on 2017-07-10T18:26:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Cleberson Odair Leonhardt.pdf: 911242 bytes, checksum: e19b00e1b61421b6c4a81fdbad45110e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-08-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The aim objective of this master thesis is to stimulate a reading on the Herbert Marcuse s work that rises an innovative comprehension of the established capitalist society, in order to foster possibilities for social change guided by primarily qualitative dimensions. For this purpose we sought, first, to situate Marcuse in the context of the Frankfurt School and critical theory, as well as demonstrate the development of the specificities of the critical theory improved by him. When Marcuse appropriated of the Marx and Freud s ideas, he has raised a possibility of conceptual expansion, enabling, for instance, the idea of an extension of the social place of denial and the historical contextualization of the reality principle. By pointing out these conceptual extensions and the historicity of the reality principle, also specifying the surplus- repression and performance principle, Marcuse overcomes Freud supported by Marx and expands Marx thematic horizon supported by Freud. It became possible to perform a reading that identifies, even in the biological and natural base, potential changes in human social relations with this theoretical-critical construction. These, especially guided for structural modifications in view of a new sensibility and a new solidarity. The theoretical perspectives thus conquered legitimize the possibility of certain groups and social movements being considered new locals of social place of denial. These have developed and / or preserved the ability of providing subsidies for the modification of the reality principle and, therefore, boost the qualitative change of the whole society. In this perspective it becomes possible to determine parameters for identifying (and fostering) emancipatory capacities of certain social groups in a broad and fruitful way. The possibilities of engagement and change, thus, expanded, diversified and strengthened. / O objetivo almejado nesta dissertação é estimular uma leitura da obra de Herbert Marcuse que suscite uma compreensão inovadora da sociedade capitalista estabelecida, de maneira a fomentar possibilidades de uma modificação social orientada por dimensões prioritariamente qualitativas. Para tal intento buscou-se, primeiramente, situar Marcuse no contexto da Escola de Frankfurt e da teoria crítica, bem como, demonstrar o desenvolvimento das especificidades da teoria crítica aperfeiçoada por ele. Marcuse ao apropriar-se das ideias de Marx e Freud fez surgir uma possibilidade de ampliação conceitual, viabilizando, por exemplo, a ideia de uma ampliação do lugar social de negação e da contextualização histórica do princípio de realidade. Ao apontar estas ampliações conceituais e a historicidade do princípio de realidade, especificando também a mais-repressão e o princípio de desempenho, Marcuse supera Freud apoiado em Marx e amplia o horizonte temático de Marx apoiado em Freud. Com esta construção teórica-crítica tornou-se possível realizar uma leitura que identifica, inclusive já na base biológica e natural, potencialidades de modificação nas relações sociais humanas. Estas, pautadas, de modo especial, por modificações estruturais em vista de uma nova sensibilidade e de uma nova solidariedade. As perspectivas teóricas assim conquistadas legitimam a possibilidade de certos grupos e movimentos sociais serem considerados novos locais de negação social. Estes teriam desenvolvido e/ou preservado a capacidade de fornecer subsídios para a modificação do princípio de realidade e, portanto, de impulsionar a mudança qualitativa de toda a sociedade. Em tal perspectiva torna-se possível a determinação de parâmetros para a identificação (e fomentação) de capacidades emancipatórias de certos grupos sociais de um modo amplo e fecundo. As possibilidades de engajamento e de mudança, dessa maneira, se ampliam, diversificam e fortalecem.

Une autre théorie critique : l'histoire intellectuelle de la revue Nord-américaine Telos 1968-2001 / Another critical theory : the intellectual history of the northamerican journal Telos, 1968-2001

Himeur, Emilie 17 November 2014 (has links)
Notre thèse d’analyse des idées politiques retrace l’histoire intellectuelle de larevue de pensée critique étasunienne Telos de 1968 à 2001. A travers notre travail denarration critique, nous cherchons à comprendre, au sens wébérien, l’évolution idéologiquesignificative de la publication-organisation, qui est passée en moins de trente ans d’unpositionnement néo-marxiste affilié à la Nouvelle gauche américaine à un populisme prochede la Nouvelle droite européenne. Notre hypothèse de travail est que le rapport que Telosentretient avec la Théorie critique de l’Ecole de Francfort est déterminant pour comprendreson évolution et écrire son histoire. Nous défendons ici la thèse que Telos constitue unorgane dissident de « théorie critique nord-américaine » (Mooney, Calhoun) qui s’exprimesous la forme d’un « traditionalisme critique » qui tient lieu de synthèse entre différentesbranches de théorie critique contemporaine. En tant que synthèse, la théorie telosiennedépasse l'héritage de la vieille Théorie critique francfortoise, dans un double rapportd’intégration et de négation. In fine, Telos produit sa propre critique, une autre théoriecritique. / Our doctoral dissertation traces the intellectual history of the American criticalthought journal Telos from 1968 to 2001. Through our critical narrative, we intend tounderstand, in the weberian sense, the significant ideological evolution of the publicationorganization,which, in less than thirty years, moved from a neo-Marxist position affiliatedwith the American New Left to a populism related to the European New Right. Our workinghypothesis is that the link between Telos and the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School isdecisive to understand its evolution and write its history. Our thesis is that Telos is adissenting organ of “North-American Critical Theory” (Mooney, Calhoun) expressed as a“critical traditionalism” that acts as a synthesis between various trends of contemporarycritical theory. As a synthesis, the telosian theory overcomes the legacy of the old Criticaltheory in a dual relationship of integration and negation. Ultimately, Telos produces its owncriticism, another critical theory.

Technisches Kulturgut. Zirkulation, Ansammlungen und Dokumente des Entzugs zwischen 1933 und 1945

Hellfritzsch, Ron, Groß, Sören, Mappes, Timo 22 July 2022 (has links)
Museale Provenienzforschung zu NS-verfolgungsbedingt entzogenem Kulturgut befasst sich nicht nur mit hochwertigen Kunstobjekten und wertvollen Buchbeständen, sondern nimmt seit geraumer Zeit auch Alltagsgegenstände und nicht zuletzt technische Instrumente und Geräte sowie Fahrzeuge in den Blick. Methodische Vorgehensweisen und bisherige Ergebnisse der Provenienzforschung zu technischem Kulturgut wurden erstmals auf einem im September 2021 vom Deutschen Optischen Museum in Jena veranstalteten Workshop diskutiert. Der Sammelband „Technisches Kulturgut. Zirkulation, Ansammlungen und Dokumente des Entzugs zwischen 1933 und 1945“ fasst die Beiträge und Ergebnisse der Tagung zusammen und stellt die im April 2022 gegründete „Arbeitsgemeinschaft Technisches Kulturgut“ kurz vor. Neun Provenienzforscherinnen und Provenienzforscherforscher aus Deutschland und Österreich liefern Einblicke in verschiedene Forschungsprojekte zur Herkunft von technischem Kulturgut in musealen Sammlungen. Wenn auch die vorgestellten Fälle jeweils unterschiedliche Sammlungsgenesen und Objektgattungen behandeln, so gleichen sich die damit verbundenen Problematiken dennoch. Insbesondere wird die Frage aufgeworfen, mit welchen Identifizierungsmethoden technische Objekte mit NS-Verfolgungskontexten in großen Sammlungen identifiziert werden können. Zudem liefern die Beiträge wichtige Angaben zu Händlern und Sammlern historisch-technischer Objekte.

The importance of counter-culture in art and life

Ortlieb, Paulina Elizabeth 03 February 2015 (has links)
Punk rock provided not only a watershed of creativity, innovation and a do-it-yourself spirit to a culture saturated in the mainstream, it physically brought like-minded people together in a community, or rather extended family, which in today’s hyper-d.i.y. culture, is progressively declining. As early as the 1940s, theorists such as Adorno and Horkheimer warned us about alienation in a society increasingly dependent on technology. By looking to punk, and other resilient and robust counter-cultures, perhaps we can find solutions to the pitfalls of the ‘culture industry’ (Adorno, Horkheimer, 1944). My thesis, consisting of a feature-length documentary film and textual analysis, is a culmination of: ethnographic research into the punk scene in my own community; theoretical research into the sociology, ethnography and subculture theory; and my own subjectivity. My personal findings are presented to offer insight into punk philosophy and to spur discourse, rather than deliver an objective account or didactic reproach. / Graduate
