Ethics, values and behaviours: Comparison of three case studies examining the paucity of leadership in government
Three societies with similar initiatives for public service re‐configuration and reform – the UK, Canada and Australia – are examined to highlight the many‐faceted issues of public service ethics and the different approaches these governments have taken to re‐building public trust and enhancing public service ethics in times of rapid change. These efforts for re‐building an ethical public service are scrutinized according to four criteria for eff…
Low‐ and high‐context communication patterns: Towards mapping cross‐cultural encounters
States that the major reasons for difficulties in cross‐cultural communication stem from the fact that actors from different cultures have different understandings regarding the interaction process and different styles of dialogue. Suggests that better understanding of communication within other cultures is the key to success. Uses past literature to suggest a number of cultural variability constructs concerning preferred interaction behaviours a…
Inequality of discourse: Problematic consumption of justice in the common law legal system
Examines access to justice, within the Australian context of an adversarial system, from a consumer’s perspective. It is argued that the current system of justice represents the most conservative element of Australian society and that the courtroom discourse structure and the legal professional code of practice do little to ensure access to justice or quality of service. Inequality in communication and in the distribution of wealth, affecting all…
Leadership Renewal: Towards the Philosophy of Wisdom
Mapping Institutional Impacts of Lean Communication in Lean Agencies: Information Technology Illiteracy and Leadership Failure
Information technology’s (IT) influence on formative contexts and on requisite leadership roles is conceptualized both as an enabling force for organizational networking and a reducing force for diversity in leadership functions and cultural contexts. The contemporary “New Age” leadership literature calls for personal and ideological leadership unencumbered by issues of cultural context, communicative complexities and the need for more comprehens…
Globalization and information technology: Vanishing social contracts, the “pink collar” workforce and public policy challenges
This paper critically examines the influence of information technology (IT) on women’s career structures. Globalization is forcing an increasing inter‐dependence of radically re‐engineered labour forces and the further “internal” exploitation of the internationalization of the dual labour market many women have endured. The global trend is towards further fragmenting a shrinking, gender‐based set of career opportunities and creating an increasing…
Maintaining the rage: From “glass and concrete ceilings” and metaphorical sex changes to psychological audits and renegotiating organizational scripts ‐ Part 2
From a cultural perspective, examines the “glass ceiling”, a putative invisible barrier but one that women experience as a very real impediment when vying for mobility. In the case of ethnic, coloured and aboriginal women, the barrier is more often than not more visible with “concrete‐like” qualities of opaqueness. Argues that traditional images, meanings, expectations, values, assumptions and beliefs embedded in organizations with predominantly …

From Phobias and Ideological Prescription: Toward Multiple Models in Transformation Management for Socialist Economies in Transition
The article offers a comparative exploration of the variety and complexity of economic transition strategies. There is also a compelling need to focus on the weaknesses of putative market forces when "designing" appropriate strategies for transition and economic development. Attention is drawn to financial market failures and their impact on economic reconstruction and political liberalization experiences. Particular attention is drawn to the nee…
