Routledge Revivals: Understanding Interaction in Central Australia (1985) An Ethnomethodological Study of Australian Aboriginal People

Routledge Revivals: Understanding Interaction in Central Australia (1985) An Ethnomethodological Study of Australian Aboriginal People

First published in 1985 this book gives an intimate account of the cultural-political conflict between Australian Aboriginal people and Anglo-Australians presenting the Australian social world from the perspective of the Aboriginal person. Adopting a rigorous ethnomethodological analysis and the techniques of ethnolinguistics Liberman looks at the interactional detail of the everyday life of traditionally oriented Australian Aboriginals. He uses tape transcripts of actual interaction to identify chief characteristics of Aboriginal social life. Liberman goes on to show how differences in systems of interaction have influenced relations between Australian Aboriginals and Anglo-Australians. With its account of the politics of cultural conflict in a multi-cultural environment this book is an apt extension of ethnomethodological issues to political concerns. It also exposes Aboriginal perceptions of Anglo-Australian/Aboriginal interaction to a degree not previously achieved in any sociological or anthropological study. As such this book will be a valuable case study to students of social anthropology race relations intercultural communication and sociolinguistics. | Routledge Revivals: Understanding Interaction in Central Australia (1985) An Ethnomethodological Study of Australian Aboriginal People

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Contemporary political and public discourse has come alive with the issues and conflicts surrounding questions of national identity. Despite the widespread sociological attention it has drawn as a result most studies of national identity have been conducted at considerable analytical distance from the lived reality of national identity talk. This collection brings together the work of contemporary researchers situating the talk and interaction in which national identities are actually expressed and used. The book presents detailed investigations of how persons actually use national identity in their talk the interactional uses to which such expressions are put and the interactional consequences of such identity talk. The studies are based on transcribed tape recordings of naturally occurring talk across a variety of different countries and settings illuminating not only situated national identity talk as a phenomenon in its own right but also providing empirically grounded research for traditional sociological theorising about issues of integration devolution and exclusion. | Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

What are the key factors affecting global supply chains today and how can we manage them? Starting from the concept that 'there is no point driving a Ferrari in a traffic jam' Ron Basu provides practical tools and techniques of good supply chain management to add value deliver cost reduction and improve customer satisfaction. This new edition specifically focuses on seven contemporary challenges that have affected global supply chain management. Recent disruptions to global supply chains created by COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict have resulted in significant geographical shifts in supply and demand. High inflation and the cost of living crisis have in turn created problems for finely-tuned global supply chains. The economic and business environment has also become more demanding due in part to political pressures including nationalism and Brexit: for example supply chain pressures caused by Brexit have resulted in increased red tape. Other factors have had a gradual and positive effect such as climate change initiatives Industry 4. 0 and the digital revolution. The issues that affect the performance of global supply chains are sometimes interrelated but all of them really matter because businesses have become increasingly global. This book addresses these challenges and explores how to deal with them. In addition there are new and updated chapters on lean and agile supply chains e-business emerging markets sustainability and green issues global supply chains for services and event management retail management and major project management. Managing Global Supply Chains is a practical and highly readable text with real-life examples and excellent coverage. It is an ideal companion for post-experience business students learning professionals and anyone interested in supply chain management. | Managing Global Supply Chains Contemporary Global Challenges in Supply Chain Management
