Abstract

Focuses on the emerging skill needs of BT′s future employees and relates them to the current outputs of the UK′s education and training system. Based on extensive action research, relates future skill needs to economic, technological and organizational change and demonstrates how the nature of work and career pathways have changed and will continue to change. Argues that three qualities are essential in all future employees; knowledge, core skills and capability, and maintains that the latter two are underdeveloped in most young people leaving the UK education and training system. Concludes that a high skill vision can be realized only through dialogue between education and business and outlines an agenda to achieve this objective.

Abstract

Over one million individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will be entering adulthood and attempting to cultivate fulfilling, meaningful life experiences. These young adults with ASD represent Generation A. The workplace will be a major element in cultivating fulfilling lives for Generation A. Social interaction is an integral component for functioning within most postsecondary and occupational settings. It is necessary to understand the interaction between autistic adults and organizations to understand potential social and behavioral deficits. The workplace is inherently a social place. Understanding both formal and informal social information in the workplace may be critical to successful job performance. Fit, particularly person–organization fit, is used to address this social nature of the workplace. Understanding this interaction helps provide a means for crafting both individual and organizational interventions which support autistic adults in the workplace. This chapter provides an analysis of interventions that support those with ASD in the workplace. It is proposed that these interventions will help create a more supportive work environment for those with ASD. As important, it is proposed that the accommodations for those with ASD are reasonable for any organization seeking to improve both satisfaction and performance for all its employees. By addressing these issues, organizations have the potential to create a more satisfying workplace for all workers, not just those in Generation A.

Abstract

We school administrators, like “practical” men everywhere, claim to have little use for theory. In this we delude ourselves, for we all theorize. The real distinction lies not between theory and practice, but between good theory and bad theory. Good theory is a hypothesis which has undergone verification and which has potential for explaining and predicting events, and for the production of new knowledge. The development of theory, with its constant demand for semantic accuracy and simplicity, is essential as a guide to research, and as a guide to action (e.g. in administration) where it should be regarded as a relational map rather than as an itinerary. The work of Halpin, Guba and Getzels, for example, illustrates that no theory is likely to be the theory. The development of a science of administration is dependent upon such theories. The alchemist described his observations in a half‐mythical language full of metaphors and allegories, not In scientific concepts. Today we appear to live only in an age of educational alchemy.

Abstract

October's Transport & Distribution Services Show at Wembley will provide the industry with the chance to see how well prepared it is to cope with the dramatic changes ahead. Changes include the freeing of the European market, the opening of the Channel Tunnel and, on the domestic front, the continuing challenges of a changing retail sector. In this interview, Sir Peter Thompson, first‐ever President of the ILDM, Chairman of the NFC, looks at the road ahead.

The whole effort of the author is focused on the examination of various aspects of MNEs and their impact upon globalisation and vice versa and how and if we are moving towards a global digital economy.

Abstract

THE FIRST MEETING of the LA Council in each year confirms the nomination of the new president by arranging his investiture with the badge of office by the outgoing incumbent. Last year Sir Fred Dainton had to buckle at the knees to allow Douglas Foskett to slip the blue ribbon over his head; this time he had to stretch up a little to negotiate Godfrey Thompson's ginger curls. The new president might have been only too willing to do the buckling but he was carrying the effects of a seasonal bug and once started on his way down, might never have stopped.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to validate peer support in mental health care.

Design/methodology/approach

Literature review and meta-analysis methodology are used.

Findings

The unintentional nature of peer support is a valid methodology for the understanding of mental health issues and mental health care.

Research limitations/implications

The limitation is that peer experience should be accepted as a valued method for research.

Practical implications

Professional domains may not keep a monopoly of research approaches in mental health.

Social implications

Peer support may mean more avenues for empowerment of mental health service users from peer role models who have unintentional acquaintance with mental health issues and care.

Originality/value

This research refers to ethnographic precedents to describe methodology relevant to twenty-first century peer support in mental health. It is original in valuing the unintentional participant observation acquired from experience of the mental health system.
