This paper will discuss the growing interest in transdisciplinarity and consider its implications for teaching and learning at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Transdisciplinarity is distinct from multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity but there is confusion about what it actually is: the terms have been to some degree used interchangeably. The paper will seek to clarify understandings of what transdisciplinarity means and how it may contribute to the idea and work of schools and universities, and encourage viable links between them. 1999-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/16721 Four gaps in public relations scholarship and practice: The need for new approaches Macnamara Jim McCallum, K (ed.) Contemporary scholarship recognises the importance of diversity and open ongoing construction and reconstruction of knowledge to remain current and relevant. However, content analysis of fourteen contemporary public relations prescribed texts and reference books supports claims of a Western, and particularly a North American, dominant paradigm and identifies four problematic gaps in contemporary public relations scholarship. This article argues that these require significant shifts in epistemology as they are limiting the efficacy of practice in the Second Media Age of interactive social media and social networks, the social relevance of the practice, the education of future generations of practitioners, and potentially stifling theory-building. Addressing these four gaps will offer increased potential for public relations to expand its remit, influence, and reputation within organisations and society¿albeit in a reconfigured form responsive to the social, cultural and political environments in which it operates. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/12359 Albert Mangelsdorff's Es sungen drei Engel: Navigating a path through jazz, German folklore and post-war (West) German identity Hurley Andrew Benbow, H.

This investigation was necessitated from a need to establish an understanding of the barriers in the implementation of e-business on a global level. The paper begins with an overview of current business-to-user (B2C) e-commerce implementation on the web, and then describes cultural issues in the global e-commerce. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
