Beskrivelse
In Echoes of Success, Ian Stuart Kelly uses new information about late Victorian Scottish Highland battalions to provide new insights into how groups identify themselves, and pass that sense on to successive generations of soldiers. Kelly applies concepts from organisational theory (the study of how organisations function) to demonstrate how soldiers' experiences create a 'blueprint' of expected behaviours and thought patterns that contribute to their battalion's continued success. This model manages the interplay between public perception and actual life experiences more effectively than current approaches to understanding identity. Also, Kelly's primary research offers a more certain description of soldiers' life, faith, education, and discipline than has previously been available.
