TL;DR: The authors synthesize the literature according to three broad, yet overlapping themes: pre-employment considerations, employment considerations, and outcomes of nonfamily employment, and then offer a future research agenda that integrates these themes to guide the advancement of knowledge on nonfamily members in family firms.
Abstract: The study of the roles, impact, and challenges associated with nonfamily members in family firms has generated considerable attention in the literature. To gain an appreciation of this body of knowledge, we systematically review 82 articles on nonfamily members in family firms that were published in 34 journals over the past three decades. We synthesize the literature according to three broad, yet overlapping themes: preemployment considerations, employment considerations, and outcomes of nonfamily employment. We then offer a future research agenda that integrates these themes to guide the advancement of knowledge on nonfamily members in family firms.

TL;DR: Disfiguring facial hemangiomas in young children are frequently associated with parental reactions of loss and grief, despite the generally benign nature of the lesion and the prognosis for eventual involution.
Abstract: Objective. To better understand the experiences, challenges, and adaptations of parents with children who have disfiguring facial hemangiomas. Design. Qualitative, descriptive. Methods. In-depth interviews were performed with the parent(s) of 25 children, aged 5 months to 8 years. Each child was referred to the Pediatric Dermatology Practice, Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, with a facial hemangioma of 1 cm diameter or greater. Interviews were ethnographic in style, centering on the description by parents of the particular challenges faced, supports received, and adaptive strategies developed in coping with their child9s hemangioma. Analysis was by open coding of interview transcripts. Coded statements were organized within common categories and these further gathered into 4 principal themes: 1) parental emotion and adaptation; 2) experiences with public reactions; 3) issues related to parent-child interactions; and 4) expressed satisfaction/dissatisfaction with medical care. Results. Disfiguring facial hemangiomas were found to be associated with parental reactions of disbelief, fear, and mourning, particularly during the growth phase. Reactions of strangers forced parents to confront varied aspects of social stigmatization. A broad array of effects on the parent-child interaction were observed, often connected with variables extrinsic to the hemangioma, including especially the support and acceptance by the extended family. Half of those studied expressed substantial dissatisfaction with aspects of their medical care. Conclusions. Disfiguring facial hemangiomas in young children are frequently associated with parental reactions of loss and grief, despite the generally benign nature of the lesion and the prognosis for eventual involution. Physicians are faced with specific challenges in providing effective anticipatory guidance and support to parents.

TL;DR: Ethnographic research that explored how child protection practitioners in the Department of Child Safety, Queensland, Australia, used four Structured Decision Making tools developed by the Children’s Research Centre in Wisconsin in their daily practice in the intake and investigation stages of a case finds that the tools were not being used as intended by their designers.
Abstract: Decision-making tools, particularly risk-assessment tools, have been implemented by governments around the world, perhaps most notably in the field of child protection, though little attention has been paid to how practitioners use them. This article presents the findings from ethnographic research that explored how child protection practitioners in the Department of Child Safety, Queensland, Australia, used four Structured Decision Making tools developed by the Children’s Research Centre in Wisconsin in their daily practice in the intake and investigation stages of a case. The findings that the tools were not being used as intended by their designers and, in fact, tended to undermine the development of expertise by child protection workers has profound implications for the future development of technological approaches to child protection and, more broadly, human services practice.

TL;DR: This paper develops a view of the strategy formation process, drawing on a review of contributions that are based on a process approach, and more specifically the work of Henry Mintzberg, Andrew Pettigrew and Andrew Van de Ven.
Abstract: This paper develops a view of the strategy formation process, drawing on a review of contributions that are based on a process approach, and more specifically the work of Henry Mintzberg, Andrew Pettigrew and Andrew Van de Ven. This view is meant to provide a way to bridge the content–process gap in strategic management by addressing the aspects of process theory and process methodology. Structuration is found to provide a useful theoretical basis for strategy formation research. Process methodology is found to be about discovering valid generative mechanisms that explain regular patterns in event sequences. Strategy formation research can then be made relevant for management practice by providing insight with regard to generative mechanisms and associated process trajectories of continuity and change, to allow for judgements on the favourability of the course of the process as well as the necessity to intervene or to let the process run its course.

TL;DR: The use of reliability and validity are common in quantitative research and now it is reconsidered in the qualitative research paradigm as discussed by the authors, which can also illuminate some ways to test or maximize the validity and reliability of a qualitative study.
Abstract: The use of reliability and validity are common in quantitative research and now it is reconsidered in the qualitative research paradigm. Since reliability and validity are rooted in positivist perspective then they should be redefined for their use in a naturalistic approach. Like reliability and validity as used in quantitative research are providing springboard to examine what these two terms mean in the qualitative research paradigm, triangulation as used in quantitative research to test the reliability and validity can also illuminate some ways to test or maximize the validity and reliability of a qualitative study. Therefore, reliability, validity and triangulation, if they are relevant research concepts, particularly from a qualitative point of view, have to be redefined in order to reflect the multiple ways of establishing truth. Key words: Reliability, Validity, Triangulation, Construct, Qualitative, and Quantitative This article discusses the use of reliability and validity in the qualitative research paradigm. First, the meanings of quantitative and qualitative research are discussed. Secondly, reliability and validity as used in quantitative research are discussed as a way of providing a springboard to examining what these two terms mean and how they can be tested in the qualitative research paradigm. This paper concludes by drawing upon the use of triangulation in the two paradigms (quantitative and qualitative) to show how the changes have influenced our understanding of reliability, validity and triangulation in qualitative studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a variety of techniques for theme discovery in qualitative research, ranging from quick word counts to laborious, in-depth, line-by-line scrutiny.
Abstract: Theme identification is one of the most fundamental tasks in qualitative research. It also is one of the most mysterious. Explicit descriptions of theme discovery are rarely found in articles and reports, and when they are, they are often relegated to appendices or footnotes. Techniques are shared among small groups of social scientists, but sharing is impeded by disciplinary or epistemological boundaries. The techniques described here are drawn from across epistemological and disciplinary boundaries. They include both observational and manipulative techniques and range from quick word counts to laborious, in-depth, line-by-line scrutiny. Techniques are compared on six dimensions: (1) appropriateness for data types, (2) required labor, (3) required expertise, (4) stage of analysis, (5) number and types of themes to be generated, and (6) issues of reliability and validity.

TL;DR: In fact, most of the archaeologically recoverable information about human thought and human behavior is text, the good stuff of social science as mentioned in this paper, which is what we use in this paper.
Abstract: This chapter is about methods for managing and analyzing qualitative data. By qualitative data the authors mean text: newspapers, movies, sitcoms, e-mail traffic, folktales, life histories. They also mean narratives--narratives about getting divorced, about being sick, about surviving hand-to-hand combat, about selling sex, about trying to quit smoking. In fact, most of the archaeologically recoverable information about human thought and human behavior is text, the good stuff of social science.
