Instantiations -- pt. 2. Articulations.This ambitious book by one of the most original and provocative thinkers in science studies offers a sophisticated new understanding of the nature of scientific, mathematical, and engineering practice and the production of scientific knowledge. Andrew Pickering offers a new approach to the unpredictable nature of change in science, taking into account the extraordinary number of factors-social, technological, conceptual, and natural-that interact to affect the creation of scientific knowledge. In his view, machines, instruments, facts, theories, conceptual and mathematical structures, disciplined practices, and human beings are in constantly shifting relationships with one another-"mangled" together in unforeseeable ways that are shaped by the contingencies of culture, time, and place. Situating material as well as human agency in their larger cultural context, Pickering uses case studies to show how this picture of the open, changeable nature of science advances a richer understanding of scientific work both past and present. Pickering examines in detail the building of the bubble chamber in particle physics, the search for the quark, the construction of the quarternion system in mathematics, and the introduction of computer-controlled machine tools in industry. He uses these examples to address the most basic elements of scientific practice-the development of experimental apparatus, the production of facts, the development of theory, and the interrelation of machines and social organization.SciencePhilosophyScienceSocial aspectsSciencePhilosophy.ScienceSocial aspects.501UB 6000rvkPickering Andrew45185MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973530703321The mangle of practice4353268UNINA04854nam 22007215 450 991025491780332120260209172842.09783319573731331957373X10.1007/978-3-319-57373-1(CKB)3710000001633012(MiAaPQ)EBC4942031(DE-He213)978-3-319-57373-1(PPN)22223962X(Perlego)3497939(EXLCZ)99371000000163301220170809d2017 u| 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierPolitical Marketing and Management in Ghana A New Architecture /edited by Kobby Mensah1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2017.1 online resource (207 pages) illustrations, tablesPalgrave Studies in Political Marketing and Management,2946-26229783319573724 3319573721 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.1.

Covering a range of topics including political HR and branding in parties, it lays important foundations for new political marketing and management research.' -Jennifer Lees-Marshment, Professor, The University of Auckland, New Zealand 'A pace-setting book on political marketing in Ghana that offers a strategic direction to political campaigning, financing, human resource management and leadership.' -Joshua Yindenaba Abor, Professor and Dean, The University of Ghana Business School, University of Ghana This book focuses on the emergence of new frames of political engagement underpinned by concepts in marketing, management, and organisation. It goes beyond political electioneering and campaigning and considers business theories such as market research, segmentation, social media, brand architecture, and human resources. With contributions from a range of skilled experts, Political Marketing and Management in Ghana emphasises and provides insights on the symbols-oriented approach of political campaigning in Africa, and distinguishes this from the technology-driven process of the west. Offering a total understanding of African politics and its supply and demand interactivity between key actors, this book is of great use to academics interested in political science, communications, marketing, and business and management.Palgrave Studies in Political Marketing and Management,2946-2622Strategic planningLeadershipBranding (Marketing)ElectionsTelemarketingInternet marketingAdvertising media planningBusiness Strategy and LeadershipBrandingElectoral PoliticsDigital MarketingMedia PlanningStrategic planning.Leadership.Branding (Marketing)Elections.Telemarketing.Internet marketing.Advertising media planning.Business Strategy and Leadership.Branding.Electoral Politics.Digital Marketing.Media Planning.320.60941Mensah Kobby A.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254917803321Political Marketing and Management in Ghana2252834UNINA
