TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of general and specialized knowledge function in close partnership, and the authors explore the nature of this partnership and consider its implications for educational practice, and suggest a synthesis.
Abstract: Effective problem solving, sound decision making, insightful invention—do such aspects of good thinking depend more on deep expertise in a specialty than on reflective awareness and general strategies? Over the past thirty years, considerable research and controversy have surrounded this issue. An historical sketch of the arguments for the strong specialist position and the strong generalist position suggests that each camp, in its own way, has oversimplified the interaction between general strategic knowledge and specialized domain knowledge. We suggest a synthesis: General and specialized knowledge function in close partnership. We explore the nature of this partnership and consider its implications for educational practice.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the evolutionary process of developing social partnerships is presented, focusing on the interorganizational context out of which partnerships originate and proposes that six types of forces in the environment foster interaction.
Abstract: A model of the evolutionary process of developing social partnerships is presented. The model focuses on the interorganizational context out of which partnerships originate and proposes that six types of forces in the environment foster interaction. Next, processes of issue crystallization, coalition building, and purpose formulation, which originate in an "initiation" stage and focus the content of the partnership, are described. The evolutionary stages of social partnership are identified as (1) a context of forces generating a recognition of the need/use of partnership, (2) initiation of the partnership (encompassing issue crystallization, coalition building, and purpose formulation), (3) establishment, and (4) maturity. Processes are seen to be repetitive and cyclical, and purpose in successful partnerships tends to broaden over time. A case example is used to illustrate the model.

TL;DR: For example, if owners of enterprises could choose freely among organizational forms, we might expect that the forms observed in particular areas (e.g., partnership and corporation or small business and monolithic enterprise) were well chosen as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Society organizes economic activity in different forms chosen in response to varying transaction costs. If owners of enterprises could choose freely among organizational forms, we might expect that the forms observed in particular areas — say between partnership and corporation or small business and monolithic enterprise — were well chosen. Even if such choices were not made consciously, but any form could compete in any arena, forces of natural selection would push toward optimality.1

TL;DR: Several key components in effective partnership -- shared knowledge, shared commitment, and shared decision making -- were encouraged and supported by Baxter's seven-month planning effort and the role of this effort in building the partnership.
Abstract: In mid-1987, Baxter Healthcare Corporation undertook a major IS strategic planning study on the heels of the company's merger with American Hospital Supply. Central to this planning effort was the building of a new level of partnership between business and IS managers in the new corporation. This article describes Baxter's seven-month planning effort and the role of this effort in building the partnership. Two specific planning behaviors are noted for their contribution: dual purpose executive interviews, designed to both elicit information and provide a basis for executive understanding of planning options; and "micro" and "macro" analysis template, which served to focus and clarify planning activities and options at both local and global levels within the firm. Several key components in effective partnership -- shared knowledge, shared commitment, and shared decision making -- were therefore encouraged and supported by this approacy.

TL;DR: The complexities of current health care and changes in the expectation of some patients and their families justify a review of concepts of partnership and negotiated goal-setting, and it is apposite that other professional relationships are considered as they affect areas of doctors' and patients' responsibilities.
Abstract: Principles of autonomy and self-determination have been upheld as vital to modern-day medical and ethical practice. However, the complexities of current health care and changes in the expectation of some patients and their families justify a review of such concepts. Their limitations and relativities may suggest that other descriptions of partnership and negotiated goal-setting, while based on respect for autonomy, reflect more modern and ideal multi-disciplinary practices. Discussion should extend beyond the 'classic' participants of patient and doctor to a more realistic picture where other health carers are included. It is therefore apposite that other professional relationships are considered as they affect areas of doctors' and patients' responsibilities. Such partnership between members of the team may not be without problems and conflict, but the principle of negotiated agreements could result in more long-term harmony, and greater patient welfare.

TL;DR: A partnership between the private and public sectors will be required in planning and development, serving difficult groups, and defining and measuring quality of care.
Abstract: Privatization has received significant attention in the popular and professional press. The notion has gained increasing political acceptance with the private sector being seen as cost-effective, innovative, and responsive. Private mental health initiatives will grow because the private sector is seen as an efficient allocator of resources and because there are profit opportunities in traditionally public services. However, a partnership between the private and public sectors will be required in planning and development, serving difficult groups, and defining and measuring quality of care.

TL;DR: The authors found that subjective perceptions of school people toward change played a critical role in the development of partnership relations between a college of education and surrounding elementary and secondary schools, and that school people's relation to these conditions, as manifest in their sense of power or powerlessness, shaped their willingness to work with the university.
Abstract: In the flurry of 1980s educational reforms, school-university collaborative partnerships appeared as a popular and promising vehicle for change. The growth of partnerships has been accompanied by an increasing knowledge about the process of change. This study, based on ethnographic and interview data, further extends the knowledge by focusing on one facet of the process: the initiation of partnership relations between a college of education and surrounding elementary and secondary schools. The study finds that the subjective perceptions of school people toward change plays a critical role in the development of partnership relations. These perceptions are grounded in the existing relations between school and university people, and in the harsh conditions of work in schools. School people's relation to these conditions, as manifest in their sense of power or powerlessness, shaped their willingness to work with the university.

TL;DR: The National Council for Urban Economic Development (CUED) examined and encouraged the development of joint transportation-economic development projects in three cities in New York, Atlantic County, New Jersey and Denver, Colorado.
Abstract: With the assistance of the UMTA, the National Council for Urban Economic Development (CUED) undertook a project to examine and encourage the development of joint transportation-economic development projects in three cities. This report examines the results of these technical assistance visits conducted in Buffalo, New York; Atlantic County, New Jersey and Denver, Colorado and suggests ways in which economic development practitioners can move towards implementing successful joint development projects. A key theme that emerged from these technical assistance projects was that successful joint development hinges on an effective transportation-economic development linkage. This report is designed to provide the framework for establishing the partnership which will lead to joint development. Throughout the report, case studies and examples of successful economic development-transportation projects are highlighted.

TL;DR: The first woman to respond to seduction and abandonment with a lawsuit was Miss Hanson as mentioned in this paper, who was a servant at a boarding house when she met Mr. Johnson in 1895.
Abstract: Miss Hanson was a servant at a boarding house when she met Mr. Johnson in 1895. After a few months' acquaintance, they became engaged and began to sleep together. She vainly waited thirteen years for him to marry her, meanwhile bearing his child. Finally she sued and recovered $8000.1 Miss Hanson was not the first to respond to seduction and abandonment with a lawsuit. Miss Giese, another plaintiff, persuaded the jury in the Ripon municipal court that the defendant, Mr. Schultz, with the aid of a promise to marry her, \"and his persuasions thereunder, seduced, debauched and carnally knew the plaintiff, and got her with child.\"2 The pregnancy miscarried, the defendant refused to keep his promise, and Miss Giese sued. The Wisconsin Supreme Court twice reversed verdicts in her favor, holding that the jury could compensate her for the loss of virtue and reputation and for mental suffering caused by seduction, but not for the miscarriage and its physical effects.' Seduction and abandonment did not end with the close of the nineteenth century. Miss Klitzke was in her mid-twenties in 1915 when Mr. Davis, a young man from the same small Wisconsin town, began courting her.4 He was away at college, but wrote her, and called on her when he came home. According to Miss Klitzke's testimony, they became engaged in 1916 and she then agreed to have intercourse, though she had earlier refused.5 The engagement continued for several years, and when Davis went into the Army during World War I, he wrote and begged her to
