Misunderstandings are often perceived as something to be avoided yet delineate an integrative part of everyday work. This book addresses the role that misunderstandings play in collaborative work and, above all, their effects on the organisational result. As exemplified by project collaboration across three offices of a multinational corporation in India, Frauke Mörike explores how misunderstandings shape the organisational system and why they prove not only necessary but even productive for organisational functioning. In doing so, she offers new ways to think about collaboration and establishes `misunderstanding' as a key factor of insight for the field of organisational research.
This book introduces a simple idea: when we tell a story, we tell a story and at the same time create the world where this story takes place. Narration creates environments, spaces and, in a certain sense, gives symbolic meanings and values to the identities by which people interact in their daily experiences. Set in the multicultural and multireligious Taiwanese environment, this book describes the interactions, and above all the narrations, linked to a Catholic village located in the Taiwanese countryside. Catholicism in Taiwan is a minor religion (around 2% of the population), and considered a foreign and heterodox religion, something different and "other" from the Taiwanese mainstream religious environment. It is this sense of alterity that creates the stories about this place and, as a consequence, creates this place and its special identity.

Wie viel Anthropologie verträgt die Theologie? Für Wilfried Engemann sind Menschen um ihres Menschseins willen religiös. Freiheit, Liebe und Gelassenheit sind für ihn die anthropologischen Leitplanken einer zeitgenössischen Praktischen Theologie. Diese Festschrift ehrt den passionierten Theologen und würdigt sein theologisches Œuvre in all seinen Facetten. Die Beiträge vertiefen anthropologische Reflexionsperspektiven seiner Theologie und setzen markante theologische Argumentationsmuster kreativ fort. Sie reflektieren die Bedeutung der Freiheit im menschlichen Leben, widmen sich der zwischenmenschlichen Solidarität in der Kirche und erörtern den Mut als integralen Bestandteil chris...
