The Art of Dealing with Religious and Cultural Diversity in the Classroom

International Journal of Business and Management (IJBM), 9(10) , s. 149-160. Doi: https://doi.org/10.5539/ijbm.v9n10p149

Religion is an intrinsic element of our cultural mind-sets that implicitly impacts how we communicate, not only at work but also in the classroom. Indeed, there is a general consensus in the management literature that religious dimensions within a wide range of work and learning contexts are important variables which impact our communication and leadership. This article fills a gap in this literature by exploring how different religious and cultural based norms may specifically impact the student-teacher (and also student-student) interaction in a higher education empirical setting. A brief discussion of fundamental values within five world religions is first offered in order to explore how these values may manifest themselves in differing cultural contexts. The article then reflects upon real classroom experiences in a business school setting. Based on these classroom cases, a five-point plan is provided to offer practical guidelines which can be applied by teachers to make the most of religiously and culturally diverse learning environments. By knowing yourself, acting with authenticity and actively seeking out interaction with different others we can practise what we preach and develop personal mindfulness as learning facilitators – this is the art of dealing with religiously and culturally diverse classrooms.

Rethinking Strategic Leadership: Stars, Clans, Teams and Networks

Journal of Strategy and Management., 6(4) , s. 411-432. Doi: https://doi.org/10.1108/JSMA-09-2012-0051

Purpose: Most of the thousands of studies of leadership as well as strategic leadership in organizations choose as the unit of analysis the individual leader. This choice runs contrary to the often-observed fact that organizations have numerous leaders at all levels of the organization - in other words, a network of leaders, which permeates the formal organizational structure. This paper aims to reconceptualise strategic leadership by advancing understanding of: 1) the effects of variations in internal complexity and external turbulence and 2) the effects of choices by the strategic leadership based on those variations. Design/methodology/approach: This paper advocates a network approach to strategic leadership where there is a set of highly dynamic role changes, based on both human and social capital. The typology and propositions in the paper emerged over a period of many years of observation of organizations (direct and indirect) as well as reflection of theories on how strategic leadership actually occurs in medium to large-size profit-oriented organizations. Findings: This paper proposes a model of strategic leadership based upon four modes of single actor and shared leadership (stars, clans, teams and leadership networks). It sets forth propositions for the situational appropriateness of each of these four forms and identifies avenues for future research to advance the theory. Originality/value: This paper cross-fertilizes extant research streams in leadership and strategic management to create a contingency theory of strategic leadership that is closer to what executives actually experience in the workplace.
