Abstract

This study explores the potential of position making as a tool for building a working community in the context of two seemingly disparate entities: the largest steamship in Britain and the Greenville Kennedy Landscaped Academy. Drawing on theories of community building and organizational behavior, the study examines the ways in which the two entities utilized position making to establish a sense of belonging and shared purpose among their members. Through a combination of surveys, interviews, and case studies, the study demonstrates how position making can be an effective means of fostering community and promoting collaboration. The findings suggest that position making can help organizations to overcome challenges such as communication barriers, conflicting goals, and power imbalances, and can contribute to the development of a more cohesive and productive working environment. The study concludes by highlighting the potential implications of these findings for organizations in a range of sectors, and by outlining directions for future research in this area.
