Abstract

For many practitioners, appreciative inquiry (AI) is becoming an attractive philosophy of organization change and development. AI methodology has been primarily focused on the development of teams. This article provides case study evidence that AI has broader practical application than most people perceive by describing how the philosophy and methodology of AI has been utilized to establish and implement a strategy to accelerate the professional development of the salesforce of a large, mature consumer products firm.

Abstract

Senior executive teams are often a microcosm of the culture in which they exist, while also responsible for creating that very culture. Thus, developing the senior executive team as an effective coalition is crucial to creating sustainable organization change. However, the unique composition and dynamics of senior teams (i.e. members who lead their own divisions, high stakes around succession, etc.) contribute to the difficulty of their development. This article describes the development of a senior executive team of a multi‐billion dollar bank. A newly complex and fast paced environment was rendering the firm’s prevailing leadership culture obsolete. They could no longer rely on their history of success as a road map for further growth. Rather, they had to learn to break their pattern of interaction and establish a more collaborative mind‐set, processes and structures. As the article describes, this is no easy task, especially for those responsible for leading large institutions in what were once considered traditional industries.

Abstract

President Bill Clinton has had many opponents and enemies, most of whom come from the political right wing. Clinton supporters contend that these opponents, throughout the Clinton presidency, systematically have sought to undermine this president with the goal of bringing down his presidency and running him out of office; and that they have sought non‐electoral means to remove him from office, including Travelgate, the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster, the Filegate controversy, and the Monica Lewinsky matter. This bibliography identifies these and other means by presenting citations about these individuals and organizations that have opposed Clinton. The bibliography is divided into five sections: General; “The conspiracy stream of conspiracy commerce”, a White House‐produced “report” presenting its view of a right‐wing conspiracy against the Clinton presidency; Funding; Conservative organizations; and Publishing/media. Many of the annotations note the links among these key players.

Abstract

Tribalism is at the forefront of public discussion across the political spectrum in America today. Zombie stories have also risen to unprecedented popularity. Amid present-day racial, political, and otherwise tribal tensions, the story I Am Legend has particular resonance. As the original inspiration behind the modern zombie trope, it was published as a novella in 1954 and has been remade as a film multiple times, in 1964, 1971, and 2007. Using grounded theory, I explore each film regarding what moral attitudes are portrayed concerning confrontation between rival milieus. My findings center on four themes: identification, compassion, ambivalence, and condemnation. Overall, in chronological order, the different renditions of the story exhibit decreasing compassion for the other and decreasing ambivalence about relations with the other. The most dramatic change is between the 1971 and 2007 remakes. Implications for what the changes in the morals presented in the story might reflect in terms of social changes in America are discussed.

Abstract

Purpose

Various studies suggest that some of natural agents create a specific action of hypocholesterolemic effect. Considering this fact, the aim of this paper is to work on describing selected natural agents that may reduce cholesterol concentrations by different mechanism of actions.

Design/methodology/approach

The advantages, phytochemical components and the mechanisms of the agents were reviewed and supported from the findings of the in vitro, double-blind and clinical studies from published journals, books and articles. The journals used in this review were published between 1987 and 2016, and are available from PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar.

Findings

Plant stanols and sterols, turmeric, fenugreek, avocado, tomato, artichoke, red yeast rice and garlic showed a positive effect in maintaining cholesterol levels by specific mechanisms or actions. These agents each had a specific action in creating a hypocholesterolemic effect either by inhibition of the enzyme significant to the synthesis process, disturbing the absorption of cholesterol, conversion of cholesterol to other related forms and through the reduction of the oxidative stress.

Research limitations/implications

However, this field still needs more studies as, currently, there is not any detailed information regarding the main active ingredients responsible for the mechanism to reduce cholesterol levels in humans.

Originality/value

This paper enlightens the authors’ understanding of some natural agents that have the potential to be used in controlling cholesterol.
