  • General Management Essays on the Discursive
    Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN General Management Ciclo XXX Settore Concorsuale: 13/B2 Settore Scientifico Disciplinare: SECS-P/08 Essays on the discursive formation of emerging organizational fields: The role of technology, institutional logics, and identity Presentata da: Andrea Carlo Lo Verso Coordinatore Dottorato Supervisore Chiara Orsingher Prof. Cristina Boari Co-supervisori Prof. Simone Ferriani Prof. Raffaele Corrado Esame finale anno 2019 1 General abstract The thesis aims at shedding light on the process of organizational field emergence as resulting from a collectively enacted discursive endeavor. The investigation hinges upon the perspective that the generation of institutional and organizational domains of activity is primarily driven by the encounter of multiple and potentially misaligned social constituencies who attempt to sort out their mutual incongruences by engaging in communicative-dialectical activities. The three essays composing the thesis are to be understood as autonomous, though complementary, pieces of research, all linked by the emphasis on discursive processes. Essay 1 provides a theoretical investigation addressing one of the most critical factor spurring field emergence, i.e. technological progress. The introduction of new technologies is framed as the occasion for multiple and formerly disconnected actors to join a shared space of negotiation about the meanings carried on by those technologies. These dialectical interplays are motivated both by coordination and legitimation needs and typically regard (1) the defining features of technological artifacts, (2) the identities of actors joining the nascent field, and (3) the constitution of infrastructures that shape the actors‘ interactions. The paper advances our understanding on the discursive process of field emergence by providing insights on how these different issues, debated among actors with competing interests and worldviews, are indeed interrelated with one another.

  • Aerial Photography with the Navy and Marine Corps 165
    AERIAL PHOTOGRAHY WITH THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS Mr. Walter L. Richardson, Photographic Division Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department EARLY HISTORY AR destroys! It destroys lives and material resources, but out of ~ach W war some benefits are salvaged. Aviation and Aviation Photography are benefited as war provides an opportunity for the demonstration of inherent values. Photography under the Navy Aeronautics Organization was only in its infancy when World War I was declared. Two or three poorly designed aerial mapping cameras had been tested and found unsatisfactory. A hand-held aerial camera had been developed, tested and found suitable for current requirements, and a recommendation had been submitted to the Navy Department for the construction of a roll-film mapping camera. This recommendation,was submitted after oblique exposures had been made from a hydroaeroplane at Pensacola with a privately owned Kodak, and a strip mosaic assembled from overlapping prints. No aircraft mapping cameras were available until some time after the Naval School of Photography had been established at Miami early in 1918, and the first group, of students graduated. For training purposes, a Graflex press camera was fitted in an improvised mount and exposures made through an opening in the bottom of the fuselage of a twin pontoon seaplane. The lens was locked at the proper focus and exposures made and plates changed at predetermined in­ tervals: Photographic mosaics were assembled from prints made from these 4 by 5 inch plate negatives. Later the "L" type mapping camera was manufac­ tured and made available. This also accommod'ated 4 by 5 inch plates and was a step forward, but the camera had many idiosyncrasies and mechanism jams were frequent.

  • 1 Remote Sensing and GIS Department of Civil Engineering
    1 Remote Sensing And GIS 1. (a) Explain different types of aerial photographs (b) Explain with a neat sketch the components of a remote sensing system. Answer: (a): Aerial photography is broken down into two main types, oblique and vertical configuration. Oblique refers to pictures taken the side of an aircraft and vertical images are taken from directly above the subject being photographed. Vertical aerial photography is normally used in real estate advertising. The process of taking photographs in the air from an aircraft is called aviation photography, as is taking pictures of aircrafts themselves. The main types of aviation photography are: Air-to-air Photography This type of photograph is used most often in advertising and entails taking pictures of an airplane from different angles. Of course the photographer is in another aircraft, since there has to be at least two aircrafts involved in air-to-air photography. This type of photography is practiced mainly at air shows. Remote sensing Remote sensing is used to gather information on the environment and other land base features from a distance, particularly from an aircraft in the sky using special equipment to gather and collect data. This explanation is one of many, but is best suited to aerial photographs. Satellite One major use of satellite photos is to gather environmental images so that scientists and environmentalists can track changes on the earth’s surface. NASA and the U.S. Department of the Interior are two of the major agencies involved in satellite scanning in the United States. Kite The camera is mounted into a cradle and secured to a kite and sent flying; the pictures are taken by controlling the camera with a remote control.
