Reading an article on organisation communication... Although a psych subject, it really reminds me of the Human Resource Management subject I've done in my good old Melbourne Uni BComm. days - and exactly like that subject, this one seems to be full of great complex theories and big-word concepts trying to put some structure to real common sense things. And yes I know that common sense is the least common of all senses. In any case, the point of this post is to present one of the most pointless and vague sentences I've read in a while:
"the production and reproduction of social life depends upon the knowledgeable human subjects tracing out routinised paths over space and through time, fulfilling particular projects whose realisations are bounded by structures of interlocking capability, coupling and steering constraints" (Gregory, 1985)
What! no "synergy"?
ReplyDeletesounds a bit like Denis speaks nowadays.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that "random research paper generator" from MIT:

Not quite as much fun as the psych paper I came upon in uni on the topic of brain laterality - the author analysed testicuar asymmetry on ancient greek sculptures, and from this inferred something about brain assymetry.
