Establishing (Un)certainty
While forensic medical evaluations (FMEs) have been shown to bolster rates of asylum approval in the United States, a discourse analysis of deidentified FMEs reveals a more nuanced function. In the suspicious and disbelieving culture of asylum adjudication, the rhetorical strategies and devices along with mandated neutral language in FMEs can inadvertently marginalize, reproduce suspicion of, and introduce (un)certainty about applicant testimony.…
A Non-Profit Organization’s Fight against Discrimination of Aids Inflicted Families
Chi Heng Foundation (CHF) is a Hong Kong-based Non-profit Organization (NPO) founded by To Chung, a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard University who quit a Wall Street investment bank career and dedicated himself full-time to sponsoring education opportunities to “left-behind children” who were faced with social stigmatization. In the mid-1990s, in rural China, parents of these children sold their own blood; as a result, they contracted…
Culture, Organizations and
Culture in organizations refers to the values, norms, and patterns of action that characterize the social relationships within formal organizations
State, religion, and environmentalism
Religions are taking on an increasingly influential role in driving the environmental movement and shaping the public policy in the world. However, little research has been done in Singapore to determine the extent to which religious environmental concerns affect state–religion relations despite the nation-state being home to a multitude of traditions. Using data from a survey that utilizes quota sampling, this study addresses this gap in two way…
The revolution will not be televised’
Mao Zedong sought both to destabilize existing institutional categories for ordering meaning, and impose new ones, initially through the Great Leap Forward and subsequently during the Cultural Revolution. The paper explores the institutional work that made this process of radical change possible. At its core was the construction and deployment of a set of binary categorization devices. These are explored in the paper to argue that persistent and …

Tour Guide Performance and Tourist Satisfaction
This study examines tour guide performance and its relationship with tourist satisfaction in the context of package tours in Shanghai. A multilayer framework of tourist satisfaction in the package tour context is proposed. Tourist satisfaction was conceptualized to include three aspects/layers: satisfaction with guiding service, satisfaction with tour services, and satisfaction with the overall tour experience. Tour guide performance was found to…
Service Experience and Package Tours
Discussion about the experiential aspects of consumption in academia is constantly evolving, and the experience economy has been identified as an important facet of the present-day situation. The experience economy reflects a wide range of concepts that have been proposed in previous research. In the tourism domain, tourists have become accustomed to desire subjective and memorable experiences to create overall satisfaction and encourage them to …
The Impact of Distance on International Tourist Movements
This article examines the impact of distance on global tourist flows through an analysis of departing visitor share from 41 major source markets to 146 destinations. The study concludes that 80% of all international travel occurs to countries within 1,000 kilometers of the source market and that, with few exceptions, distant destinations have great difficulty attracting more than a 1% or 2% share of departures. However, high volatility in share w…
Culture, Organizations and
Culture in organizations refers to the values, norms, and patterns of action that characterize the social relationships within formal organizations. Jaques (1951) first described the changing culture of a factory, defining it as the customary or traditional ways of doing things, which are shared to a greater or lesser extent by all members of the organization and which new members must learn and at least partially accept in order to be accepted i…
Human resource management strategies under uncertainty
Purpose To compare the tendency of US and Hong Kong Chinese companies to utilize three alternative human resource management (HRM) strategies to offset uncertainties in the supply of labor. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 158 US and 66 Hong Kong Chinese companies concerning the extent to which these companies engaged in training and development, monitoring and assessment of employee performance, and staffing through an intern…
"The Moral "Technologies' of Knowledge Management
This paper uses the framework of Michel Foucault to examine the mainstream discourse of ‘knowledge management’ (KM) in organizations. In particular, we draw on the notions of reflexivity, subjectivity, power, freedom and resistance to show how Foucault's ideas challenge contemporary uses of KM including its alignment with organizational learning and strategic change. A dominant theme of KM discourse relates to what computer technology can do for …
Organization Theory in Turbulent Times
Criticisms of postmodernism are examined in the context of social theory and its sub-field, organization theory. Criticisms centre on claims that postmodern organization theorists are preoccupied with indeterminancy of meaning, linguistic relativism and the `minutiae' of everyday life; and further, that Foucault-inspired postmodern organization theorists reject culture, history, and reason, and have little to offer in terms of ethics, action and …
History, Culture and Organization Studies
Research by Barley, Meyer and Gash (1988) showed that the publication of Peters and Waterman's In Search of Excellence (1982) coincided with culture becoming a popular and acceptable topic for organization theorists. This helped establish the dominance of a conception of culture that proffered an instrumental view of the relation between managerial practice and management knowledge, Barley, Meyer and Gash (1988) suggested. They saw this as a rela…
Critically Constituting Organization
Critically Constituting Organization
In the past, contingency and neo-Marxist theorists of culture reduced culture to an effect of something other than itself and, as they made culture metaphorical, they constituted its object of inquiry — a somewhat impossible pretension. This book extends the debate considerably. It does so through considering the work of Foucault in the context of the analysis of culture. While Foucault has had a considerable impact on organization studies, up to…
A qualitative and quantitative assessment of Hong Kong’s image as a tourist destination
Service quality and determinants of customer expectations
There have been many studies using the SERVQUAL instrument to measure the service quality of various hospitality sectors, but few were specifically about clubs. The present study assesses the usefulness and applications of the instrument in measuring club members’ expectations and perceptions on club services. As there are two distinct types of clubs, namely estate clubs and private clubs, servicing different market segments in Hong Kong, members…
