| dirty business meaning: Dirty Business Maurice Punch, 1996-12-23 Drawing on both theory and major case studies, this book provides a much-needed sociological and comparative analysis of the world of the manager in the context of misconduct within business organizations. Organizational misbehaviour and crime have been relatively neglected in the social sciences, particularly in business studies. Analyses have tended to be fragmentary, overly slanted towards narrow external views - such as those of legal control and public policy - and predominantly North American. Dirty Business rectifies this by offering a broad sociological perspective related to work, organizations and management, supported by a range of key international case studies. In developing his arguments, Maurice Punch |
| dirty business meaning: A Dirty Business Joe Humphrey, 2010-09-27 When Kevin Bailey, a black, jobless twenty-something returns to New York City from a recent hermitage in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, he finds himself both broke and homeless. Armed with a degree in criminal justice, he immediately leans on an associate and former employer for a needed job referral. This leads to a position with the Frank Givens detective agency in Midtown. Bailey is hired for various reasons, three of which are the fact that he comes cheap, he's green enough to be taught, and his boss is swamped with cases. Frank Givens tosses Bailey a case that should have been fairly routine: a New York City socialite requires dirt on her son's fiancee based on her suspicions of gold digging. After the client, Selena Eldritch, supplies Bailey with a photo of her son Edward Eldritch and his blonde fiancee, Donna Greenwood, the investigation is underway, and Bailey eventually tails Edward Eldritch to a quaint historical village hours outside of Manhattan. There, Edward meets with a brunette, and Bailey soon follows the pair into a local tavern where he then discovers that the brunette's name is in fact Donna Greenwood. Who, then, is the blonde in the photo? And why does Selena Eldritch believe her to be Donna Greenwood? Bailey sets out to uncover the truth behind this mystery, but as he begins to dig deeper, he soon learns a few intriguing facts. The blonde in the photo, Norma Vidon, has actually been missing for quite some time, and the police have even given up their investigation into her disappearance. Baily continues to dig even further, uncovering weird obsessions, betrayals, and not a little deceit and, of course, dead bodies begin turning up. What started out as an average, relatively simple assignment soon develops into a complex case full of pretzel twists; one difficult enough for Kevin Baily to truly prove himself. But he is up to the task? |

| dirty business meaning: A Student's Search for Meaning Melissa Carter, James Fraser, Chelsea Garbell, Amy Wilson, 2023-11-25 This edited volume brings together reflections on how students pursue the search for meaning and purpose in the context of higher education. It offers perspectives from humanities professors, college chaplains of multiple faiths, and observers of the changing shape of the American university as each considers the needs and expectations of today’s students. The collection address three key lines of inquiry: what the student search for meaning looks like in the context of higher education; how do presenters understand the dimensions of the search for meaning itself; and how do (or don’t) humanities faculty and religious life leaders talk to each other around the common student concerns addressed in both course work and the extracurricular world of religious life programs? Together, the conversation suggests that students pursue a search for meaning in the context of university life and the academic curriculum, but the particular dimensions of this search are yet undefined. This is often a contested pursuit because it conflicts with the other purposes of the university which some see as primary. A key audience for this book is university administrators who work in the field of chaplaincy and faith-based programming, as well as department chairs and faculty in the liberal arts who are directly involved in building humanities curriculum. |

This insightful dissection covers numerous aspects of the industry's failures and shortcomings, including why stockholders play an important role, how radio went from an art to a science and what was lost in that change, how the record companies alienated their core audience, why file sharing might not be the bogeyman that the record industry would have people think, technology's effects on what and how music is heard, and dozens of other reasons that add up to the record industry's current financial and artistic woes. With eye-opening observations culled from extensive interviews, this expose offers insights into how this multi-billion-dollar industry is run and why it's losing so much money. |

| dirty business meaning: Peace Movements Worldwide Michael N. Nagler, Marc Pilisuk, 2010-12-16 This three-volume anthology is a comprehensive overview of how the human yearning for peace has played out, and is playing out, on this planet.

Tomson, written over thirty-odd years, that deal with ancient Jewish law and identity, the teachings of Jesus, the letters of Paul, and the historiiography of early Jews and Christians. Notable subject areas are Jewish purity laws, divorce law, and the use of the name 'Jews'. The author also examines Jesus' teachings as understood in their primary and secondary contexts, the various situations Paul's highly differentiated rhetoric may have addressed, and the causes contributing to the growing tension between Jews and Christians and the so-called parting of the ways. |
| dirty business meaning: A Dirty, Trifling Piece of Business Gavin K. Watt, 2009-04-06 By 1781, the sixth year of the American rebellion, British strategic focus had shifted from the northern states to concentrate in the south. Canada's governor, Frederick Haldimand, was responsible for the defence of the Crown's largest colony against the threat of Franco-American invasion, while assisting overall British strategy. He cleverly employed his sparse resources to vigorously raid the rebels' frontiers and create anxiety, disruption, and deprivation, as his Secret Service undermined their morale with invasion rumours and threatened their Union by negotiating with the independent republic of Vermont to return to the British fold. Haldimand flooded New York's Mohawk and Schoharie valleys with Indian and Loyalist raiders and, once the danger of invasion passed, he dispatched two coordinated expeditions south. One was launched onto Lake Champlain to alarm Albany and further the secret talks with Vermont. The second struck deep into enemy territory, fought a battle at Johnstown, and retreated precipitately. The rebels effectively countered both expeditions. |

| dirty business meaning: Soldier Snapshots Jay Mechling, 2021-08-10 In Soldier Snapshots Jay Mechling explores how American men socially construct their performance of masculinity in everyday life in all-male friendship groups during their service in the military. The evidence Mechling analyzes is a collection of vernacular photographs, “snapshots,” of and by American soldiers, sailors, Marines, and aviators. Since almost all of the snapshots are photographs taken of men by other men, this book offers a unique view into the social construction, performance, and repair of American masculinity. Mechling guides the reader from the snapshots to ideas about the everyday lives of male soldiers to ideas about the lives of men in groups to ideas about American culture. In his introduction Mechling offers his thoughts about how to undertake the interdisciplinary study of American culture; he draws from history, folklore, anthropology, sociology, rhetoric, psychology, gender and sexuality studies, ethnic studies, popular culture studies, and visual studies to reveal the intricacies of how men use their folk practices in an all-male group to manage the paradoxes of their friendship and comradeship under sometimes stressful conditions. Soldier Snapshots begins with a brief history of war photography and establishes the nature of vernacular photography: the snapshot. This is followed by a jargon-free discussion of the key ideas about masculinity and the vernacular practices of men in groups, exploring male friendship, the important role of play in men’s relationships, and the ways “animal buddies” adopted by male friendship groups actually tell us even more about male friendship and issues of trust. In the final section Mechling’s careful analysis reveals how the men employ different folk practices—including rough-and-tumble playfighting, building human pyramids, bathing naked in public, cross-dressing, hazing, and gallows humor—in order to manage their relationships. Regardless of the man’s sexual orientation and sexual identity, the strong heterosexual norm in the military means that the men must find ways to understand and even enact or perform their feelings of bonding while still defining those feelings and acts as heterosexual. |

| dirty business meaning: The Cruise of the Shining Light Norman Duncan, 2019-12-20 In The Cruise of the Shining Light, Norman Duncan deftly navigates the tumultuous waters of human emotion, adventure, and the quest for meaning. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Canadian backdrop, the narrative follows a motley crew aboard a small yacht as they embark on a journey of self-discovery and camaraderie. Duncan's literary style employs rich, evocative imagery and a keen sense of character development, often reflecting the influence of early 20th-century regionalism. Notable for its blend of humor and pathos, the novel captures the essence of maritime life while exploring themes of friendship, loss, and the intangible connection humans have to nature. Norman Duncan was an accomplished Canadian author, journalist, and editor, whose own experiences at sea and deep appreciation for the natural world profoundly shaped his storytelling. His earlier works often depicted the rugged landscape of Canada and the intricacies of its inhabitants, highlighting a blend of realism and romanticism that would underpin much of his writing. This particular work emerges from Duncan's desire to illuminate the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of the vast ocean, a motif that speaks to his own struggles and aspirations. Recommended for readers who revel in rich character studies and immersive settings, The Cruise of the Shining Light stands as a testament to Duncan's literary craftsmanship. This novel invites you to embark on a journey that intertwines the joys and sorrows of life on the water, ultimately encouraging a reflective exploration of your own inner horizons. |
| dirty business meaning: Researching and Applying Metaphor in the Real World Graham Low, Zazie Todd, Alice Deignan, Lynne Cameron, 2010-10-13 It has become increasingly clear that metaphor needs to be explored in terms of the social and discourse context in which it is used, especially where the aim is to address real-world problems. The notion of 'real world' metaphor research has been developed to describe this important area of investigation. This book starts by describing the nature and scope of real world metaphor research and then illustrates, through 17 detailed, mainly empirically-based studies, the different areas it can apply to, and different methodologies that can be employed. Research problems are explored in areas such as artificial intelligence, language teaching and learning, reconciliation dialogue, university lecture discourse, poetry and wine description. Methods include corpus analysis, experimentation, discourse analysis, cross-cultural analysis and genre analysis. In each case the empirical studies refer back to Gibbs's opening overview of real-world research. The result is an invaluable and cross-referenced collection of papers addressing real-world problems. |
| dirty business meaning: From Religious Empires to Secular States Birol Başkan, 2014-03-26 In the 1920s and the 1930s, Turkey, Iran and Russia vehemently pursued state-secularizing reforms, but adopted different strategies in doing so. But why do states follow different secularizing strategies? The literature has already shattered the illusion that secularization of the state has been a unilinear, homogeneous and universal process, and has convincingly shown that secularization of the state has unfolded along different paths. Much, however, remains to be uncovered. This book provides an in-depth comparative historical analysis of state secularization in three major Eurasian countries: Turkey, Iran and Russia. To capture the aforementioned variation in state secularization across three countries that have been hitherto analyzed as separate studies, Birol Başkan adopts three modes of state secularization: accommodationism, separationism and eradicationism. Focusing thematically on the changing relations between the state and religious institutions, Başkan brings together a host of factors, historical, strategic and structural, to account for why Turkey adopted accommodationism, Iran separationism and Russia eradicationism. In doing so, he expertly demonstrates that each secularization strategy was a rational response to the strategic context the reformers found themselves in. |
| dirty business meaning: War and Existence Michael Gelven, 2005-07-26 War is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon that cannot be understood merely by isolating its underlying principles. The elements that compose the vast mosaic of our conceptions of war must be identified and examined in light of their philosophical origins. Michael Gelven not only identifies what the fundamental principles are, but he also extracts from the history of philosophy the arguments and analyses of the concepts that explain how we think about it. War and Existence is primarily concerned with what war is or what the truth about war is rather than the moral question of whether war ever ought to be waged; it only indirectly considers the military concerns of how war out to be carried out. The elements or marks of war, such as courage, horror, heroism, sacrifice, command, and vastness, are each examined by reference to a great philosophical figure whose critical analyses of these elements provide us with a deep understanding of them. Gelven does not restrict his inquiry to mere formal concerns since the philosophical marks of war are concretized in judgments about actual wars. His holistic approach includes not only actual historical events that surround our greatest military conflicts but also literary figures, poets, and composers whose works wrestle with the enormity of this splendid yet troubling phenomenon. The two phenomena, war and peace, are viewed against the entire background of humanity with all its folly and sublimity. War and Existence thus offers a thoughtful, coherent response to one of the most problematic issues of humanity. |

| dirty business meaning: The Production of Personal Life Joel Pfister, 1991 This book aims both to demystify and to reconstitute 'Hawthorne' as an object of study by rereading Hawthorne's fictions, mainly those from the early 1840's to 1860, in the context of the emergence of a distinctively middle-class personal life (the domestic emotional revolution that accompanied the industrial revolution. Recent histories of middle-class private life, gender, the body, and sexuality now enable us to bring a more encompassing grasp of history to our reading of the 'psychological' in Hawthorne's writing. Rather than taking the conventional view that Freud explains Hawthorne's psychological themes, the author draws on the history of personal life to suggest that mid-century psychological fictions help, historically, to account for the surfacing of a bourgeois Freudian discourse later in the century. The production of Personal Life also asks why it was that women in mid-century fiction, especially that written by men, were represented as psychological targets of male monomaniacs in the home. By connecting the enforcement of middle-class 'feminine' roles to psychological tension between the sexes, Hawthorne's fiction at times implicitly critiques the sentimental construction of gender roles on which the economic and cultural ascendancy of his class relied. |

But everyone has to finish the novel before everyone can know where the novel begins. In the meantime, there are all these distractions, such as the twelfth-floor window at the office building where everyone works out of which people or maybe just one person keeps jumping or falling--everyone isn't sure--or everyone's sexy coworker Sam, whom everyone is struggling valiantly against to keep from becoming a paramour. It's kind of pitiful, actually, the way everyone keeps begging you to read, sending you e-mails, dropping it into conversation (I have a book, you know?), posting links to it on social-networking sites. Everyone figures that if he or she begs enough, you will break down and try it. |

| dirty business meaning: Theory and History in International Relations Donald J. Puchala, 2013-01-11 Theory and History in International Relations is an eloquent plea to scholars of global politics to turn away from the manufacture of data and return to a systematic study of history as a basic for theory. While the modest use of empiricism will always be important, Puchala rejects the logical positivism of the so-called scientific revolution in the field in favor of a more complex, even intuitive, vision of global politics. He addresses the potential uses of history in studying some of the major debates of our time-the Cold War as a struggle between empires, the collision of civilizations, cultural encounters and colonies in the ancient world, and liberal approaches to the understanding of history and ethical contributions to the dialogue over theory. |
| dirty business meaning: The Opium Monopoly Ellen N. La Motte, 2019-12-10 Ellen N. La Motte's 'The Opium Monopoly' is a groundbreaking exposé on the opium trade in early 20th-century China. La Motte expertly weaves together historical facts with personal accounts to shed light on the devastating impact of the opium industry on Chinese society. Her writing is characterized by its stark realism, incisive social commentary, and unflinching portrayal of human suffering. This book serves as a powerful indictment of the exploitation and greed that fueled the opium epidemic during that time period. Ellen N. La Motte, a trained nurse who worked in various war zones and hospitals, brings a firsthand perspective to 'The Opium Monopoly.' Her experiences witnessing the horrors of war and addiction undoubtedly influenced her decision to expose the injustices of the opium trade. La Motte's background in healthcare and social work adds a level of credibility to her narrative, highlighting the urgent need for social reform. I highly recommend 'The Opium Monopoly' to readers interested in historical non-fiction, social justice, or public health issues. La Motte's impassioned plea for reform and her compelling storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between economics, politics, and human suffering. |

| dirty business meaning: President's Kill List Luca Trenta, 2024-05-31 From Fidel Castro to Qassem Soleimani, the US government has been involved in an array of assassinations and assassination attempts against foreign leaders and officials. The President's Kill List reveals how the US government has relied on a variety of methods, from the use of poison to the delivery of sniper rifles, and from employing hitmen to simply laying the groundwork for local actors to do the deed themselves. It shows not only how policymakers decided on assassination but also the level of Presidential control over these decisions. Tracing the history of the US government's approach to assassination, the book analyses the evolution of assassination policies and, for the first time, reveals how successive administrations - through private justifications and public legitimations - ensured assassination remained an available tool. |
