Re: Lingua Franca Today
Which sounds a lot like your: "When a company needs to move information
from Manhattan to Milan in the click of a mouse, routers speak BGP to one
another in order to move network traffic without losing it. "
actually, i ripped it off from my own dissertation research. here's the entire paragraph.
The experience of downsizing challenges meritocratic individualism. As Newman's study shows, managers experience 'a fall from grace' . However, they are acutely aware that it is not one of their own making. Hence, they are forced to accept an alternative explanation for their plight which Newman (pp. 65) calls "categorical fate." Unemployed managers must accept a structural explanation which attributes their plight to larger socioeconomic forces that are beyond their control: They must learn to see themselves are members of a category "that is...subject to victimization." (p. 65). They recognize that middle managers have been identified as dysfunctional for corporate competitiveness in the global economy. They learn that the high salaries they command as experienced managers make them vulnerable to the current vogue of 'slash and burn' lay offs of well paid managers who are subsequently replaced by lower paid, newly-degreed MBAs. And, they are increasingly aware that middle managers are being rendered obsolete by a computer revolution that makes it possible to transmit information from Milan to Manhattan with the click of a mouse.
you're welcome to write my advisor, Gerald Grant, at Syracuse University for a copy of the paper. He has it on file.
