This article offers a humanistic approach to the development of computer‐based information systems. A theoretical framework for conceiving innovative processes as a whole is outlined. This approach interprets technology in relation to work, knowledge, and basic values. Within this framework, a methodology of systems development is sketched. This methodology is based on experience obtained through developing knowledge‐based systems for use in language research and teaching. Systems development processes are conceived as thought processes, epistemic processes, communicative processes, and learning processes. It is argued that the experience gained from the language project could be applied to other areas of work.

A successful group tutoring program validates the importance of a collaborative relationship between the social worker and the school principal

This book is a reaction to the reductionist and exploitative ideas dominating the mainstream contemporary management discourse and practice, and an attempt to broaden the horizons of possibility for both managers and organization scholars. It brings together the scholarly fields of humanistic management and organizational aesthetics, where the former brings in the unshakeable focus on the human condition and concern for dignity, emancipation, and the common good, while the latter promotes reflection, openness, and appreciation for irreducible complexity of existence. It is a journey towards wholeness undertaken by a collective of management and organization theorists, philosophers, artists, and art curators. Reading this book's contributions can help both academics and practitioners work towards building organizational practices aimed at (re)acquiring wholeness by developing aesthetic awareness allowing for more profound understandings of performativity, insights into the dynamics of power, appreciation of ambiguity and ambivalence, and a much needed grasp of complexity. The varied ways of engaging with art explored by the authors promote imaginative insights into and reflection on the beauty and vicissitudes of organizing, of management knowledge and collective expression. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of organizational theory and practice, business and management history, human resource management, and culture management.

This essay recounts how a teaching experiment with digital storytelling unexpectedly revealed how this humanistic genre enabled by contemporary technology might contribute to a more creative integration of business study with the liberal arts.

The reluctant client challenges the worker because of the cognitive distance between them. Concrete, convergent thinkers, such clients are baffled by the abstract, reflective, and introspective. A cognitive-humanistic approach bridges this distance by starting where the client is and by working within the client's world of experience.
