Paradigm Shift Paradigm Shift Japanese Manufacturing Study Mission Sklp Walter Corporata Sottwrra Sawlcm8 Olgltrl Equlpmant Corpontlon Saptambar 20, 1887 Mlrslon Sponsored by Cornpuler Systems Manufrcturlng Olgltal Equlpmnt Corporrtlon LEARNING TO LEARN "Culture hides much more than it reveals, and strangely enough what it hides, it hides most effectively from its own participants. Years of study have convinced me that the real job is not to understand foreign culture but to understand our own. I am also con- vinced that all that one ever gets from studying forelgn culture is a token understand- ing. The ultimate reason for such study is to learn more about how one's own system works. The best reason for exposing oneself to foreign ways is to generate a sense of vitality and awareness - an interest in life which can come oniy when one lives through the shock of contrast and difference." Edward T. Hall, The Silent Language "I was once asked: 'in a conversation between a fool and a wise man, who learns the most?' Being a teacher at the time. I was quick to think that since the wise man had more to offer, the fool would benefit the most, but then I saw that the opposlte was in fact true. The fool is a fool because he doesn't know how to learn from his experience; the wise man is wise because he does. Therefore the wise man will learn more from the conversation than the fool. Then it became clear to me that if I wasn't learning as much as my tennis students in the course of a lesson, I probably shouldn't be teaching them. This notion gave me an entirely new perspective on teaching. i began paying attention not oniy to backhands and forehands, but to the process of learning itself. It was only because my students taught me something about the learning process that this book could be written." Tim Gallwey, Inner Game of Tennis LEARNING TO LEARN 1 PARADIGM SHIFT We arrived back in Boston safe and sound at Logan Airport on Saturday night. We were all quite tired but glad to be home and looking forward to some friendly greasy food. We sald our last round of goodbyes and then looked for our loved ones for the late ride home. Sunday was a decompression day and pretty incomprehensible. I have been tired from travelling before but the old body was saying "You've really done It this time." I think I would have skipped Monday morning If I had any choice but I did not. 1 had a 9:OOAM meeting scheduled in Stowe with a select group that Jerry Paxton, Discrete Manufacturing Marketing VP, had put together to discuss the relevant issues around knowledge based systems' and manufacturing. I was half out of it anyway but when I walked up to the conference room and saw klieg lights and video recording gear all around I was really disoriented. Luigi DIAngola had surprised all of us and decided to record a brain storming session. He hoped to get some good feedback on tape and also try and use some of the mate- rial for a marketing videotape. 1 was not a happy camper. My journal notes from the meeting record: "Boy an interesting schizophrenia has set In. I sat in a brainstorming meeting this morning with a bunch of industry marketing folks and had a really difficult time. First I think because of my tiredness I was having a difficult time being positive about anything that was being discussed. But as I would get ready to interact with ?he discussion based on my previous twenty years of experience, and before I could get the thought even half formed, the two weeks experience in Japan came roaring through my con- sciousness and said 'WAIT A MINUTE!' Check your assumptions that by now BIG VOICE chimed. Most everything that was said during the sessions would cause these internal collisions. This integration of my experiences is going to take quite a lot longer than I thought, but I better do it quick or I am going to go nuts." I did not think much more about that Monday morning for the next two months, However, I was taken aback by my internal schizophrenia of the collision of new exper- ience with twenty years of thinking only one way. I scheduled several discussions with interested professionals in the Digital marketing and engineering community In hopes that by talking to others I would better understand what I had observed and therefore come to know what I know. Nothing magic happened that I could tell, but several II- festyle changes occurred in quick succession. PARADIGM SHIFT 3 I made a vow to myself that I had to get my life back In balance. The constant travel and being away from home was hurting my family life and wasn't helping the synergy of my workgroup. So I made a set of promises. No jet plane trips until after September 1, 1987 and I would sleep In my own bed every night during that time. At work, we spent the summer getting back to basics - establishing personal and group visions and grounding ourself in current reality with our FY87 Business Plan. By focusing on the individual visions first and then, looking for a group overlap, something quite vital happened. For the first time in managing this group of superb professionals, we could each proceed independently with the next steps. I was no longer the bottle- neck in having to assign next steps, each individual saw their roadmap and how the other roads would connect with it. Most importantly for the first time in several years, my boss really understood the business plan, The changes started showing up in my personal life as well. My wife and I signed up for a Marriage Encounter weekend that we attended and rediscovered a love that had gotten buried under work and the raising of children the last several years. I finally took a coworker up on an offer to attend a three night orientation session on Beyond War, an organization aimed at thinking differently about the future of the planet earth. I have not been active in outside organizations since college and here were two that I was Jumping into the middle of. And finally I started actively taking courses from the Institute of Human Evolutlon aimed at how I can create the future that 1 want and how I can focus on what current reality is. My normal way of learning is to read, study, discuss and intellectualize. Heaven forbid that I would actually participate in developing a skill directly. Yet, here I was jumping in and actually participating, contributing, developing and growing in outside work activi- ties. It was at the current reality course (called Structural Consulting) that a fellow student helped me click things into place. The afternoon's workshop was to alternate roles be- tween client and consultant practicing a technique of communication called additive picturing. My presenting problem that day was that I was really enjoying the summer and all the things that I was doing to restore the balance in my life but I was real concerned that when September 1 came along that my world was going back to Its previous hectic madness. As 1 was talking and Pat was picturing what I was saying, she asked me to describe the travelling that I had been doing. The first thing that came out was a description of the Japan trip. While I started talking about the physical tiredness that resulted, quickly I shifted into talking about the mental shift that had occurred on the trip. I related the phenomenal production machine that the Japanese put together and that it was done by paying attention to people and processes with very little technology applied. Further, I remarked on the congruence of work, play, learning and philosophy that tied all pieces of the Japanese culture together. Specifically I described a bit of the day at the Shinto shrine and then seeing the Shinto symbols so pervasive at Brother Industries the next day. She saw that I was letting out the schizophrenia that the trip caused. During a lull In my descriptions, Pat asked If I was familiar with the paradigm shift phenomena, particularly the vases and phases illustration. I said "Sure." She then went on "It sounds like you have gone through a paradigm shift as the result of your Japan trip. The pictures that I have formed are of a physical person that went to Japan. and came back the same. To the outside world that physical person hasn't changed. But the mental person that is you changed. You are different inside and those closest to you can't see that internal paradigm shift." PARADIGM SHIFT 4 As she was talking a release of tension went out of me. She had put her finger on what was bothering me about the events of the summer. I had not been able to find a cause for the events other than my resolution to not travel. Pat Identified that the Japan trip In a sense was the cause; that there was a reason for what was happening and therefore a sense of immense relief that these changes weren't going to evaporate come the first of September. I don't remember much about the rest of the day because I was deep in reflection about the implications of the discovery of my paradigm shift. It was clear that the shift occurred, but I still wasn't comfortable about the nature of the shift.

The German social-philosophical tradition of Critical Theory has recently undergone what its current practitioners have themselves described as a “paradigm shift”. Writers like Jurgen Habermas and Kari-Otto Apel are today attempting to reformulate the socially-critica! insights of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno in new terms. Where Horkheimer and Adorno had tried to articulate their critique of existing social relations in a language of “subjectivity” and “objectivity” drawn largely from the classical German philosophical tradition, Habermas and Apel are trying to formulate an - ostensibly - similar critique in a language of “a priori intersubjectivity” drawn from the “ordinary language” and “speech-act" theory which has emerged since the Second World War in the Anglo-American philosophical sphere.

  • The Relationship Between the Aristotelian, Newtonian and Holistic Scientific Paradigms and Selected British Detective Fiction 1980 - 2010
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ARISTOTELIAN, NEWTONIAN AND HOLISTIC SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS AND SELECTED BRITISH DETECTIVE FICTION 1980 - 2010 HILARY ANNE GOLDSMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Greenwich for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2010 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the help and support I have received throughout my studies from the academic staff at the University of Greenwich, especially that of my supervisors. I would especially like to acknowledge the unerring support and encouragement I have received from Professor Susan Rowland, my first supervisor. iii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationship between key elements of the Aristotelian, Newtonian and holistic scientific paradigms and contemporary detective fiction. The work of scholars including N. Katherine Hayles, Martha A. Turner has applied Thomas S. Kuhn’s notion of scientific paradigms to literary works, especially those of the Victorian period. There seemed to be an absence, however, of research of a similar academic standard exploring the relationship between scientific worldviews and detective fiction. Extending their scholarship, this thesis seeks to open up debate in what was perceived to be an under-represented area of literary study. The thesis begins by identifying the main precepts of the three paradigms. It then offers a chronological overview of the developing relationship between these precepts and detective fiction from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of Four (1890) to P.D.James’s The Black Tower (1975). The present state of this interaction is assessed through a detailed analysis of representative examples of the detective fiction of Reginald Hill, Barbara Nadel, and Quintin Jardine written between 1980 and 2010.

  • Paradigm Shifts in Training and Development: a Naturalistic Study of Management Cha Ring Organization Transformation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Brigitta E. Olsen for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education presented on November 30, 1993. Title: Paradigm Shifts in Training and Development: A Naturalistic Study of Management Cha ring Organization Transformation Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Ruth Stiehl The need for organizational transformation is a response to a larger paradigm shift occurring in science and society. It represents a shift from the mechanistic model to a systems, holistic model. The purpose of this study was to determine patterns and practices that limit training effectiveness when facilitating a major organizational paradigm shift. A literature survey identified major clashes between those values and tools of organizational models based on the new paradigm and those of bureaucracy, bureaucratic management and training relationships, domains and dynamics. Participant observation and interviews were the methods used to collect data from a study group of 15 upper middle managers involved as a pilot management team in the first year of TQM implementation at a public university. The group was closely observed during five months of training and 10 participants were interviewed at the end of the first year of implementation. Their stories revealed four obstacles to transformation: 1) managers were coerced into complying, change was imposed from above, there were no appropriate support systems and fear was endemic; 2) the management team had more difficulty than non-management TQM teams learning the mechanics of TQM, claiming they didn't have necessary learning skills; 3) managers protected themselves by rewriting the rules of TQM to fundamentally preserve the status quo; 4) managers defined the TQM effort a success without substantive personal change, pushing responsibility down and praise up in the organization.

Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP in 1993, the members of LAPD crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn. After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose in the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow- up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, Michigan, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order).
