Using a sprinkle of Queer Theory, their on-the-job experiences, and writing center scholarship that challenges disciplinary orthodoxies, two intersectionally queer contingent researcher-administrators examine the constraints contingency; discuss underlife labor; point to labor nuances possibilities alongside work.

Despite the popularity of environmental management accounting as an approach to support corporate cleaner production measures, so far, how implementation differs according stage strategy development is largely unknown. This study thus sought identify uses and information characteristics vary among organizations at different stages development. Drawing on contingency theory view system sophistic...

This paper examines the organizational motivations underlying the rapid adoption of Egovernment websites and E-government services. Three strands of organizational theory – 1) contingency theory, 2) resource dependence theory, and 3) institutionalization theory – offer dramatically different accounts of the organizational dynamics that lead municipal governments to create and develop a web pres...

Making the right IT investment, particularly the right IT infrastructure investment could thus have far-reaching impact on a firm " s IT invest...

This tutorial is concerned with applications of information theory concepts in statistics, in the finite alphabet setting. The information measure known as information divergence or Kullback-Leibler distance or relative entropy plays a key role, often with a geometric flavor as an analogue of squared Euclidean distance, as in the concepts of I-projection, I-radius and I-centroid. The topics cov...

It has been claimed that the power PC theory reconciles regularity and power theories of causal judgment by showing how contingency information is used for inferences about unobservable causal powers. Under the causal powers theory causal relations are understood as generative relations in which a causal power of one thing acts on a liability of another thing under some releasing condition. The...

Contrasting associative and contingency based explanations of adult causal judgment, we derived three new predictions from the power PC theory (Cheng, 1997) concerning the role of compound cues, and we tested them in a context in which an effect could be produced by independent cues considered only as possible causes and not as enabling conditions. The first prediction, independence from the co...
