Let's think together! (a review of dialogue in the workplace).

[摘要] This thesis explores a conceptual understanding of dialogue within a community ofpractice. It argues that meaningful conversations are at the core of critical, reflective,and analytical praxis, and that a critical understanding holds transformative possibilitiesfor teaching and learning. Aspects of western and ethnic paradigms and theirtheoretical constructs, which may either enhance or hinder current practices, areidentified, as are elements that arise from several case studies drawn from a largebanking organisation operating out of South Africa. It is hoped that an evaluation of theresearch findings will provide a basis for an understanding of dialogue within a localcontext and that, further, it will provide a platform for extended dialogical explorationand research.
