This document summarizes a study examining workplace learning and innovation in new enterprises. It discusses key concepts around innovation including the creative process, levels of innovation (micro and macro), rhythms of innovation (episodic and continuous), and magnitudes of creative change (adaptive and generative). The study analyzed 109 entrepreneurs from service-based businesses with 2-5 staff members. It aimed to understand what conditions foster innovative learning and the forms/processes of innovation learning. Key findings were that supervision vs freedom, compelling social purpose, recognition, generating multiple ideas, optimization, problem-solving, and self-confidence supported innovative learning.

The document summarizes key aspects of actor-network theory (ANT) developed by Bruno Latour and others. ANT assumes that both human and non-human actors influence networks and the meanings derived from them. It provides the example of a hotel manager's attempts to get customers to return their keys by attaching weights to them, which changes the meanings and behaviors of both keys and customers within the network. While descriptive, ANT has been criticized for potential issues like being endless or amoral in assuming all actors are equal.ANT presentation

Actor-Network Theory (ANT) examines the relationships between human and non-human actors, highlighting that all actors exist in relation to one another within a network. The theory aims to bridge the gap between positivism and social constructionism, illustrated through examples like yeast's role in wine fermentation. Key figures such as Bruno Latour emphasize the interconnectedness of actors, including institutions and scientific practices.Actor Network Theory

The document discusses actor-network theory, which proposes that both human and non-human actors form heterogeneous networks. It notes several key theorists in developing this perspective, including Bruno Latour. Actor-network theory aims to symmetrically study all actors and their relationships without privileging humans. An example is provided of a case study examining the implementation of a healthcare information system in the Faroe Islands.Mapping Experiences with Actor Network Theory

Donna Haraway's 'A Cyborg Manifesto' presents the cyborg as a metaphor for post-gender identities, emphasizing the blending of humans and machines, which challenges traditional boundaries and identities. The work explores themes of survival, power, and the construction of self and group identity through creative choice and collective experiences. Additionally, Shelley Jacksons 'Patchwork Girl' exemplifies cyber-feminism and the concept of monstrosity in postmodern literature, highlighting the need for fragmentation and reassembly in understanding identity.Actor Network Theory

Actor-network theory (ANT) rejects distinguishing between the social and technological, seeing both humans and non-humans as having agency. ANT is based on three principles: agnosticism toward human and non-human actors, general symmetry in explaining their viewpoints, and the idea that associations, not inherent qualities, determine an actor's power. Important questions in ANT include what associations comprise networks, how stable the networks are, and how their elements change over time.Actor Network Theory

This document provides an overview of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) including its origins, key concepts, and criticism. It describes ANT's development by French sociologist Bruno Latour and how it views innovation as the result of socio-technical networks rather than a distinction between social and technical factors. The document outlines some of ANT's core principles such as impartiality and symmetry when examining actors. It also discusses key ANT concepts like translation and moments of translation in how actors become aligned. Criticism of ANT notes its lack of consideration of power dynamics and highly descriptive nature.Creativity and innovation Framework .pdf

Creativity involves bringing something new into existence that did not exist before through intentional thought. It can involve developing new systems, combining existing information in novel ways, or applying known relations to new situations. Creative thinking is a type of divergent thinking that is adapted to reality. Innovation is the process of creating something new that is also of value, from identifying opportunities to commercializing inventions. Factors like personality, age, intelligence, motivation, and work environment can influence creative efficiency. Brainstorming principles include deferring judgment, embracing wild ideas, building on others' ideas, and focusing on quantity over quality.Sheila Corrall, University of Pittsburgh #RLUK14

Creativity and innovation are critical for organizational performance and survival. While creativity fuels new ideas, innovation exploits those ideas through successful implementation. Three key components of creativity are creative-thinking skills, expertise, and motivation. Managers can leverage creativity within their organizations by challenging employees, granting freedom, designing collaborative work groups, providing encouragement and incentives, and offering organizational support. Open innovation that incorporates external perspectives can stimulate new ideas beyond what internal research alone can produce.Chapter 1 Introduction to Management.ppt

This document outlines key concepts around participation and knowledge from a situated perspective. It discusses how participation in a community involves the purposes, norms and challenges of the moment's activity, the tools used including technology and languages, and the community's history, assumptions and relationships. Through interaction and joint action, knowledge is constructed but is not absolute or fixed, and depends on what is relevant, meaningful and useful for the community. Knowledge is not portable or static, but is transformed and reinvented as it spreads between communities. Educators should consider what constitutes meaningful participation in a given community and how issues of gender, power, race and class influence whose knowledge is prioritized.I dont think i am a learner acts of naming learners at work

Bracken and Jeanie K. Allen. The study examined the experiences of non-faculty staff at universities who were also returning adult students. It found that these staff felt overlooked, unrecognized, and undervalued in their roles. Taking on student roles improved their self-esteem and excitement but also created challenges with managing work, school, and family responsibilities. Their work environments were sometimes unsupportive and coworkers were unaware of educational policies.The Influence of National Culture on Educational Videos: The Case of MOOCs
