The present chapter discusses the different epistemologies behind different strands of management thinking and calls for the need for further theoretical development. It proposes a specific management methodology, Semiotic Learning, that corresponds to an innovative approach to the field of organizational learning, one that draws on social semiotics and on ontological hermeneutics in order to d...

In this study, the author analyzes and discusses photography techniques seen from photos in Photoshoot Challenge Romance Rain INTM Cycle 2 semiotics of based on theory Charles Sanders Peirce. Then method taken here uses a qualitative method, because needs various references articles, journals, social media, books, others. Where six models analyzed are Helen Hiu, Sarah Tumiwa, Faradina Amalia, P...

The research on organizational semiotics deals predominantly with the question of how to bring the notion of information to bear on semiotically conceived accounts of human organizations. In this talk, I take up what I perceive as some of the key theoretical and conceptual elements involved in this endeavour. I will assess their status from the points of view of philosophy of science and Peirce...

In this article we revisit some core concepts of the FRISCO report related to semiotics and the philosophical foundations of FRISCO. Starting from some earlier versions of the semiotic triangle we focus on its top corner labelled "conception" in its FRISCO version. The notion of conception (which is most fundamental for the whole framework) has been (and still is) a source of many controversies...

In this paper we reflect on our experiences in developing PANORAMA, a playful application meant to promote and support social awareness in a work environment, through art-inspired visualisations of social processes and personal contributions. With respect to the design of PANORAMA, we found common notions of visual semiotics helpful in determining the overall composition of the screen layout. M...

The complexity of current organisational contexts implies the need for innovative learning theories and practices at organisational level. Organisational learning represents a critical aspect of each organisation’s capacity to innovate, and to nurture and maintain its inner dynamism. The Semiotic Learning Framework is presented as an approach to organisational learning and as a working methodol...

Investment in information technology (or IT) does not necessarily bring improvement in business performance. One important cause of this is the divorce between the design of the IT systems and business organisations. An approach of organisational semiotics, based on the understanding of organisations as systems of social norms emphasises the central role of the people, their responsibility and ...

Recursion or self-reference is a key feature of contemporary research and writing in semiotics. The paper commences by focusing on the role of recursion in poststructuralism. It is suggested that much of what passes for recursion in this field is in fact not recursive all the way down. After the paradoxical meaning of radical recursion is adumbrated, topology is employed to provide some example...

Mathematics and Semiotics do not at first seem like a natural couple. Mathematics finds most of its applications describing explicit, mechanical situations, whereas the emphasis in Semiotics is usually toward that which remains at least partially obscure. Nonetheless, probability theory routinely treats circumstances that are either acausal or the results of agencies that remain unknown. Betwee...
