Although radical thoughts of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of the "Big Six" pioneers of Romantic era in British Literature and his effects over the refinement of the eighteen-century English society have been widely discussed, not much attention has been drawn into the underlying backdrop and principal grounds that he founded his anomalous ideas on. Even though some critical studies shed some light on his relationships with the marginal communities in Bristol, there is still much to say about the intellectual development of a genius mind. In this respect, this paper aims to address how Coleridge's main ideas such as pantisocracy, Unitarianism and political radicalism were shaped, what drove him to adopt such radical opinions, and what role the Dissenting circle in Bristol played in shaping Coleridge's intellectual mind. To do so, the present study first presents a brief introduction to Coleridge's biography, focusing on significant turning points that shaped his radical personality and thoughts. Then, the study examines the social, theological and political thoughts of this genius poet who had a great influence on British Romanticism.

Many 1980s western managers, stressed by global changes in resource costs, competitive pressures, and technological imperatives, strive to emulate Japanese management models and practices, such as Quality Circles (QCs). The implementation and cultural‐motivational barriers to an effective QC intervention, such as differing Japanese versus western administrative practices and group processes are examined. In Japan QCs are an integral part of structure, process and strategy; in the west they represent a new, untried adjunct to structure requiring new roles in addition to changed decision making authority patterns. Reasons for mixed western QC outcomes are examined, as is their potential for promoting innovation.

Quality control circles, a Japanese management technique for improving quality, productivity, and worker morale, have been widely adopted in western industry. The apparent hope is that the circles are a key to competing with the Japanese. In this article QC circles are shown to resemble, and potentially overlap with, six other western work improvement programmes, most of which have had successful histories. Case observations offer limited evidence that plant configuration considerations should be foremost among the factors emphasised in an industrial work improvement programme and that western industry should not expect too much from quality control circles.
