  • Summary

    This chapter examines journalistic representations of the yerba mate industry created by the Hispano-Paraguayan author Rafael Barrett. It describes the long history of the yerba industry from its origins in the sixteenth century to the current vogue of nutraceutical herbal supplements before focusing on the conditions that led to massive exploitation of agricultural laborers in the debt-peonage system of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This establishes the context for a detailed examination of the politics and poetics of Barrett’s chronicles. Barrett, known today as a pioneering anarchist intellectual in the Río de la Plata region of South America, was primarily focused on exposing the human rights and labor abuses of the yerba industry, but his writings also suggest a mode of ethnobotanical inquiry at odds with the Western ontological distinction between nature and culture, a mode in which yerba itself demonstrates a startling and fascinating agency.

  • This paper discusses an exploratory investigation into vision and mission, the starting points of the classical strategic planning process (Ginter, Rucks and Duncan 1985). Constructs measuring vision and mission are identified, as well as three other items that are frequently cited in the literature as being critical for effective formulation and implementation of vision and mission statements (latent abilities, market focus and competitor focus). It is argued that clearer definitions of these constructs and others discussed in strategic literature are a necessary step to allow empirical investigation into the interactions inherent in the strategic process.
