Abstract
I have opened this piece with ‘background’ to help prepare the reader for what follows. I had the pleasure of writing one of the perspectives in the first issue of this journal, and since then I have written a couple more (Stewart 1998, 2005; Elliott and Stewart 2017). The first issue piece was in a section labelled ‘Soapbox’. That label is an appropriate description of each of my previous contributions and also appropriate to what follows. My intention is to be provocative, beginning by saying I wish to challenge lazy thinking about the meaning of a term in use every day in academia but without much, if any, questioning of what is meant when it is used. If you are willing to be challenged, read on.
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
