Because conversation happens to be the most common and natural of human activities, companies usually undervalue the fact that good conversation channels within the company may aid in an organization's operations, especially in terms of managerial discussions that concern the dissemination of knowledge. Within an organization, good conversation is believed to be the cradle of social knowledge that would include such essential matters as individual knowledge and the trade of ideas, among others. Good conversation within a microcommunity enable the sharing of tacit knowledge because of its ability to facilitate the exchange of beliefs, thoughts, and perspectives among the members of the organization. Managing conversations would not only entail the sharing of tacit knowledge, but it would also affect several other aspects of the process of knowledge creation.Less

Numerous university faculty appeared at the board of trustees meeting, declared support for DuBois Club recognition, and stated there was no evidence to deem the club subversive and that the university’s educational environment required an open exchange of ideas. The board’s own subcommittee agreed and also recommended approval. The board voted to accept these recommendations and allow the university to recognize the club. Politicians and newspaper editorial writers immediately attacked the decision. President Henry supported the decision.Less

When firms and people are located near each other in cities and in industrial clusters, they benefit in various ways, including by reducing the costs of exchanging goods and ideas. One might assume that these benefits would become less important as transportation and communication costs fall. Paradoxically, however, cities have become increasingly important, and even within cities, industrial clusters remain vital. This book brings together chapters that examine the reasons why economic activity continues to cluster together despite the falling costs of moving goods and transmitting information. The studies cover a wide range of topics and approach the economics of agglomeration from different angles. Together they advance the understanding of agglomeration and its implications for a globalized world.Less

This chapter focuses on informational privacy rights—the ability to control the collection, use, and disclosure of one’s personal information. For this strand of privacy, the analysis reveals that the Court generally begins with the assumption that information should be open to exchange. This openness can become particularly problematic for adolescents who might benefit from increased protection, including protection from disclosure as well as protection against efforts to curb their access to information. How the Court recently has addressed adolescents’ needed protections provides a string of examples that may be used to influence other aspects of adolescents’ informational privacy rights. But, overall, this area of law reveals weak protections for adolescents’ informational privacy.Less

The contrast between the related pre-World War II attitudes to scientific research and those of the current era are described and how this affects modern research. There follows a summary of the numerous major achievements in advanced research conducted at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) from its existence as a biological unit at the Cavendish Laboratory from 1957 onwards. The impressive commercial successes of the LMB, made possible by recent changes in the policy of the Medical Research Council, are also outlined. The second half of the chapter describes the arrival, importance, and immense potential of electron cryo-microscopy (which is described in a non-technical manner) in structural molecular biology, with examples drawn from the study of neurodegenerative diseases and other areas of biology.Less
