Impact of Licensing Cuts on Research and EducationT Scott Plutchak
This summary provides an overview of the key points from a focus group study on the impact of journal licensing cuts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB):

This document discusses the limitations of current management thinking and knowledge practices, particularly in the development sector. It argues that the dominant Western knowledge system, shaped by 19th century intellectual trends, overemphasizes quantitative analysis, measurement, and efficiency. While useful historically, this approach is ill-suited to today's complex problems and knowledge economy. The document calls for an alternative knowledge system based on rhetoric that better addresses organizational contexts and real-world situations in development work.
