Data, Methods and Theory in the Organizational Sciences: A New Synthesis Murphy Kevin R.

Data, Methods and Theory in the Organizational Sciences explores the long-term evolution and changing relationships between data, methods, and theory in the organizational sciences. In the last 50 years, theory has come to dominate research and scholarship in these fields, yet the emergence of big data, as well as the increasing use of archival data sets and meta-analytic methods to test empirical hypotheses, has upset this order. This volume examines the evolving relationship between data, methods, and theory and suggests new ways of thinking about the role of each in the development and presentation of research in organizations.This volume utilizes the latest thinking from experts in a wide range of fields on the topics of data, methods, and theory and uses this knowledge to explore the ways in which behavior in organizations has been studied. This volume also

Imperial Panegyric from Diocletian to Honorius Omissi Adrastos

Imperial Panegyric from Diocletian to Honorius examines one of the most important literatures of the late Roman period - speeches of praise addressed to the reigning emperor - and the panegyrical culture of the late Roman world more generally. Unlike much previous work on this topic, ImperialPanegyric takes a consciously comparative approach, especially between eastern and western, Greek and Latin texts.Each contributor draws upon evidence taken from multiple authors or from different kinds of panegyric in order to explore both the communal and the particular in this most idiosyncratic of media. The volume investigates to what extent there was a unified concept of imperial panegyric, and how local circumstances shaped individual speeches. It also considers the ways in which traditional forms of praise-giving respond to fourth-century phenomena such as the expansion of
