Diagnosing pharmaceutical regulatory agencies
Inside/Outside
This paper was drawn from a qualitative study that sought to capture the experiences of a population group that are for the most part invisible within mainstream data and policy. Research involving LGBTQ+ people has historically privileged the experiences of White, gay men living in affluent areas with access to specialist services. Our study explored the health and social care pathways of marginalised LGBTQ+ people, for example those who had fac…
From Abstract to Concrete
The paper is drawn from the lead author’s doctoral study: a qualitative exploration of the health and social care pathways of a marginalised population group in North East England, a region impacted by increased health inequities in comparison to the rest of the country. One of the study’s challenges was to find a methodological framework that could capture some of the complexities of human social experience both within and across cultures. The p…
A Configuration Approach to Mindset Agency Theory
This book explains psychological, sociopolitical and organisational change in multidisciplinary settings. It shows how advanced techniques of contextual analysis can be applied to complex situations and offers a new cybernetic agency paradigm based on living systems theory. It models, diagnoses, and analyses complex, realworld situations to anticipate patterns of behaviour.
Configuration Approach to Mindset Agency Theory
A Configuration Model of Organizational Culture
The article proposes a configuration model of organizational culture, which explores dynamic relationships between organizational culture, strategy, structure, and operations of an organization (internal environment) and maps interactions with the external environment (task and legitimization environment). A major feature of the configuration model constitutes its well-defined processes, which connect the elements of the model systematically to e…
Assessing values and value change in Thai organizations
The development of coherent culture is important for corporations to develop goals that can be shared, understood and commonly pursued by the member of an organization. A lack of cultural coherence needs to be addressed since it can impact on corporate effectiveness affecting, for instance, communication, performance and adaptation. Under the crises caused by the complexification of societies and the development of increasing political uncertaint…

Ethnic pay differentials
In this article an attempt is made to examine the adverse occupational distribution and earnings of ethnic minorities as a function of direct and indirect discrimination. Specifically, it is argued that when we make adjustment for differences in human capital, the distribution of individuals over jobs is not independent of race. Secondly, the article attempts to provide estimates of proportional wage differential in various job markets for ethnic…
