We may not be able to make you love reading, but archaeology of knowledge will lead you to love reading starting from now. Book is the window to open the new world. The world that you want is in the better stage and level. World will always guide you to even the prestige stage of the life. You know, this is some of how reading will give you the kindness. In this case, more books you read more knowledge you know, but it can mean also the bore is full.

The archaeology of knowledge

The four Visegrad states — Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia (until 1993 Czechoslovakia) and Hungary — form a compact area between Germany and Austria in the west and the states of the former USSR in the east. They are bounded by the Baltic in the north and the Danube river in the south. They are cut by the Sudeten and Carpathian mountain ranges, which divide Poland off from the other states. Poland is an extension of the North European plain and like the latter is drained by rivers that flow from south to north west — the Oder, the Vlatava and the Elbe, the Vistula and the Bug. The Danube is the great exception, flowing from its source eastward, turning through two 90-degree turns to end up in the Black Sea, forming the barrier and often the political frontier between central Europe and the Balkans. Hungary to the east of the Danube is also an open plain. The region is historically and culturally part of western Europe, but its eastern Marches now represents a vital strategic zone between Germany and the core of the European Union to the west and the Russian zone to the east.

Economy and Society

What makes organizations so similar? We contend that the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative—leading to this outcome. We then specify hypotheses about the impact of resource centralization and dependency, goal ambiguity and technical uncertainty, and professionalization and structuration on isomorphic change. Finally, we suggest implications for theories of organizations and social change.

This is a study in industrial sociology; it a partial report, to be followed by another, of an investigation of singel factory seen in the light of Max Weber's theory of bureacracy.

From margin to center: listening to silenced subjectivities in international business

After much negotiation with government officials, careful study of geographical terrain, and confirmation that sufficient aeronautical equipment could be secured, the newly formed Pan American Airways (PAA) was awarded its first US airmail contract and inaugurated its Key West to Havana flight. The procurement of this airmail contract marked the formation of a new airline. It was also the start of a flurry of activity that led to a series of aeronautical, technological, administrative and geographical developments spanning multiple eras. A spirit of pioneering emerged from the activities of early PAA aeronautical pioneers such as Juan Trippe (co-founder of PAA), Hugo Leuteritz (in charge of ground and radio communications), Andre Priester (head engineer) and Charles Lindbergh (aerial adventurer). So powerful was the spirit of pioneering among early PAA players that it eventually transcended the entire organization, providing justification for their activities of rapid expansion and growth.
