Rhetorical History as Institutional Work

Rhetorical history has emerged as a useful theoretical construct that bridges the long recognized gap between historical and organizational scholarship. Despite its growing popularity, the precise nature of rhetorical history as a construct, its scope conditions, and its utility in resolving critical issues in historical organizational analysis remains unclear. This paper addresses these issues. We define rhetorical history and contextualize the construct by elaborating its relationship to associated concepts like collective memory, rhetoric, and narrative. We ground the construct by reviewing literature that has applied rhetorical history in both theory and empirical research. Our inductive review identifies four recurring themes in which rhetorical history is used to construct perceptions of; (a) continuity and discontinuity, (b) similarity and difference, (c) winners and losers, and (d) morality and immorality. We conclude with a discussion of how rhetorical history is an essential mechanism of institutional work.     

Role of culture in water resources management via sustainable social automated negotiation

Increased competitions for water resources in many regions worldwide call for cooperative approaches. The competitions are complex for humans to resolve due to numerous alternatives and different or conflicting preferences of multiple stakeholders over multiple criteria, which might even oppose desirable environmental objectives. Parties also have incomplete information about the preferences of the counterparties. Electronic negotiation, empowered by intelligent agent technology, is a combination of artificial intelligence, economics, and psychology to find beneficial joint agreements in complex paradigms such as this. This study investigates a multilateral sustainable automated negotiation among intelligent agents representing stakeholders, including the legal party ‘nature’ as one of the stakeholders. It defines decision criteria and alternatives in the framework of cultural factors, elicits preferences of the stakeholders regarding the criteria without their intervention using a multi-criteria decision-making method, prunes the solution space before starting the negotiation by recognizing a general social treaty, determines the multi-issue specific treaty by learning the stakeholders, and demonstrates bidding and acceptance strategies.

土地资源可持续发展的一个潜在危机

殡葬改革的初衷是不留骨灰,不占土地.但改革开放以来,在市场经济的拉动下,后火化过程异军突起,以墓地为标志的殡葬消费不断高扬,白色地甲不断蔓延,危害了土地生态的可持续发展.然而由于殡葬和土地资源归属于两个不同的部门和学科,这种深刻的生态危机一直未能引起社会和学界的普遍关注.本文通过对殡葬管理历史和现实的分析,提出在两种体制并存的条件下加强对后火化过程的强干预,引导殡葬消费,弘扬入土为安的中华文明,发展生态墓地和可降解殡葬用品,探讨殡葬管理的社会福利功效,把是否有利于土地资源的可持续发展作为殡葬管理的根本目标.
