Full textDue to the persisting failure of ever continuing reforms driven by politics a new mode of reform has been established during the last decade: Universities are granted higher autonomie with respect to decisionmaking aiming at strengthening their capability of self-organisation. With flexible clauses in new higher education laws the possibility for self-reference has been created - Universities are responsible for themselves. This possibility is nevertheless just one of the required conditions for sucessful self-reference. The second required condition, the ability for self-reference, is not fulfilled automatically by just "loosening the chains". In order to develop this ability Universities have to recognize themselves as embedded in a tight network of relationships and they have to be able to incorporate reciprocal effects between themselves and its environment into their decisionmaking. This case of an organisation being able to reflect on its impact on its environment as well as on the backlashes created by that, can be termed "rational reflexivity" with LUHMANN (1984, p.617). This paper adresses the management instrument of creating mission statements and analyses, how this instrument can contribute to the rational reflexivity of Universities. Using the theory of social systems three conditions are suggested that should be accounted for when aiming to unreveal the potential of the orienting and coordinating management instrument mission statements

Full textOrganizational change and game theory were separately investigated over time. Due to lack of scientific research on the relationships of those two fields of knowledge, an investigation of the game theoretic applications in managing change was performed in this research. Game theoretic applications were structured concerning the analytical use of game theory, strategic formulation with game theory and equilibrium analysis. By a qualitative flexible research method, main problematic areas of organizational change were identified with suitable game theoretic applications. Those problem areas are: making cooperation and coalition in change, group dynamic difficulties and the problem of incentive rewards. In each problem area, game theoretic solutions were discussed to help managers to make better decisions. Four mechanisms were inferred to support the game theoretic analysis of change management problems. Those mechanisms are: sub games, practical games, specific modeling and behavioral studies of games. Finally, an instructional framework was developed to conclude findings and illuminate the game theoretic approach in organizational change.

Full textThe main objective of research is to determine how business processes influenced by corporate strategy can be entrenched in an organisation. Organisations rely on business processes to deliver product and services to customers and meet organisational goals. Several process weaknesses prevail in organisations and impede process performance. Organisations merely focus on technical aspects of the transformation to address efficiency and effectiveness in business processes and tend to ignore the social elements attached to the transformation which bring considerable changes in the employees working environment. Human attitude and behaviour can thus impede process change and entrenchment. As a result, the change endeavour fails, and processes are not entrenched. The study thus gave due consideration to the socio-technical elements because process relies on human intervention to progress at some points. The study aimed to understand and interpret how business processes can be entrenched in an organisation and used a selected organisation in the Western Cape, Cape Town as a case study. To address the main research objective three subordinated objectives were developed and a main research question and three sub-research questions were investigated. Given the human element involved in the process transformation, the phenomenon is a socially constructed reality that can be understood and interpreted using a social theory. Actor Network Theory (ANT) was used as a lens through which to understand and interpret the factors influencing the entrenchment of business processes. It is argued that enterprise resource planning (ERP) influences both technical and non-technical factors involved in process entrenchment and that entrenchment emanates from the alignment of interests of social, process and technology actors. An interpretative paradigm applies to the study where qualitative philosophy was followed together with the underpinning theory. The theory and review of literature were used to develop semi-structured interview schedules to collect opinions from participants. The research participants included twenty-one managers at senior, middle and lower level positions from the Finance, HR and IST departments of the studied organisation. Ethical considerations applied to this research relate to the data collection process and the disclosure of the research findings. Data collection was approved by the institution under study to ensure confidentiality and non-violation of organisation policies. In addition, interview questions were reviewed by senior managers to ensure that the information obtained would not hurt the reputation of the organisation. The research findings revealed that actors need to be transformed and supported to accommodate the change and that the principles of ERP can be implemented as a strategy to lead the process transformation and entrenchment. The research generated a general framework to guide the use of technical and non-technical factors to influence process entrenchment. As such, recommendations are made to actors of process transformation to ensure entrenchment.

Full textIt is widely established that industrial innovation has to take into account imaginaries which could cause enthusiasme or rejection effects. That is why, nowadays designers consider them in their design processes. The traditionnal approach considers as stable as exogenous imaginaries, which could be shaped ex-ante and conformed new products and services to be designed. Could it be possible to plan a new approach, that would overpass the stability hypothesis, avoiding a kind of fixation and narrow-mindedness for designers or users ?The thesis focuses on this second approach, which endogenizes imaginaries by considering their renewal properties. It tackles three matters: how the transformation of imaginaries could account for the innovative technical object ? What an engineering system to stimulate imaginaries and feed innovation processes ? Lastly, what managerial actions to collectively support a stimulation of imaginaries, in an industrial context ?Thanks to the recent progress in design theory and empirical experiences led in the automotive industry, we could expand a modelisation effort. This work finds out three main results. Firstly, the thesis characterises the imaginaries dynamic transformation from a concrete and original technical object, by new criterias: heterogeneousness, number, tensions and non-polarity of imaginaries. Secondly, the thesis suggests a theoretical modelisation of the imaginaries expansion throughout a design process made of a knowledge structure with three logics hanging on together, based on the Lacanian approach and redefined by the design way: “real”, “symbolic” and “imaginary”. The thesis shows how to analyse empirical dynamics and set out managerial hypothesis in order to expand imaginaries. Thirdly, the experimentations led on four collective organisations of imaginaries, chosen for their complementarity, confirm, enrich and precise the hypothesis suggested by the theoretical model. It shows that the generativity of imaginaries is directly connected with their diversity and dynamism. Their transformation comes less from the injection of exogenous imaginaries than from a design effort combining with real, symbolic, and available substrates. Thanks to that, it is possible now to create an evolution on imaginaries through a stimulation organisation and a specific management to obtain strong generativity innovation processes

Full textThis dissertation provides an analysis of the management of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) in the presence of strategic interactions between different types of agents. First, I study under which conditions two asymmetric firms, extracting a nonrenewable resource, may agree upon a cooperative agreement and, thus, merge into a cartel. I analyse, in particular, the set of feasible agreements and the possibility that every players accept one of them. Second, I focus more specifically on the incentives for the Opec members to over-report or under-report their oil reserves since the set of production quotas in 1982. Third, I characterize the optimal policy of a government in favor of the developing of backstop technologies through R&D subsidies in order to ensure the ecological transition from polluting fossil fuels to non-polluting renewable energies. However, I conduct this analysis in the context where the supply is controlled by an independent firm and when the government cannot implement a Pigovian tax on emissions. A common theme of these different chapters is the presence of agents whose interests are contradictory. From a methodological point of view, I use game theory and, in particular, differential games in the two first chapters

At the same time the question of theorganization causes including that of the organizational environment as an organization exists andevolves in a given environment with which interactions are created. The problem of organizationaldynamics of sub-Saharan pimping networks, raises the question of their visibility and legitimacy inthis environment, because they are criminal, secret organizations and therefore not eligible for anyadvertising. However, these networks do work well and the consequences of their actions areperceived. How to understand the possibility of operating in such circumstances ? It's certain, thatyoung women recruited by sub-Saharian pimps undergo management by terror. A key elementsuggests that these women live in fear that goes beyond the simple fear of the pimp. It's the« voodoo », a phenomenon linked to the socio-cultural realities of sub-Saharan communities. Doesthe institutional environment of sub-Saharan pimping networks inspire their operation ? This thesisaims to shed light on organizational practices and the operation of sub-Saharan pimping networks,in the light of two theories : neo-institutionalism and contingency. Both theories emphasize therelationship with the environment that can affect an organization and its behavior

Full textABSTRACT Title: The Degree of Goal Fulfilment in the Swedish Correctional System Concerning the Central Objectives for Prison Guards’ Work Satisfaction at the Prison of Härnösand Level: Final Assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Jennie Hamberg Supervisor: Ernst Hollander Date: 2011 - January Aim: An aim with this essay was to investigate to what degree the guards at the prison of Härnösand felt work satisfaction. Another aim was to investigate to what degree the Swedish Correctional System’s central objectives for prison guards’ work satisfaction were fulfilled at the prison of Härnösand. Method: I have used a qualitative method but also a quantitative method. I have made a semi-structured interview, an observation and prison guard questionnaire with both qualitative and quantitative elements. Result & Conclusions: In my essay I concluded that a majority of guards in Härnösand had a rather low degree of work satisfaction. Many factors contributed to this. One important factor was that many guards felt that they had little control over their own work situation and how they went about their job assignments. The leaders also had a negative effect on the guards’ job satisfaction. Another central element for high work satisfaction is the leadership process, i.e. that a functional relationship exists between the prison inspectors and the guards. Many guards said they felt that the relationship between leaders and followers was not satisfactory. They felt that there was a lack of trust between the inspectors and themselves. They also stated that they felt that the management was not interested in the staff and they also felt that the inspectors should be less passive and more supportive. One contributing factor to a more possive work satisfaction was the guards’ high satisfaction with the collegues. But a negative co-worker factor was the fact that the guards were not satisfied with their job assignments. I also concluded that the management at the prison of Härnösand had failed to fulfill the central objectives for prison guards’ work satisfaction. The failures could mostly be ascribed to the unsatisfactory relationship between the inspectors and the prison guards, but also to the guards’ low degree of control over their job situation. Suggestions for future research: An area for future research could be to investigate how to create more content workers within the current organizational structure of the Swedish correctional system. Contribution of the thesis: This essay may contribute to new knowledge by emphasizing the complex net of contributing factors which affects people’s degree of work satisfaction. I have tried to do this by using a contingency theory. Key words: Contingency theory, work satisfaction, the Swedish Correctional System, bureaucratic organization, management style, leader, follower.

Full textIn most industries, competition is hard, the construction industry is no exception. One way of standing strong in the market is finding other means of competition than the traditional: price and quality. This master thesis aims at investigating the importance of the aftermarket for contractors and property owners. The thesis is written together with the construction company Zengun, whose intention is to improve its management of the aftermarket. The study has been conducted exploratively with focus on the relationship between the contractor and the property owner in the time after completion of a building project. Interviews have been conducted with representatives from four of Stockholm's major commercial property owners and representatives from two construction companies. The thesis starts with theories of service marketing, relationship management theory and organizational theory which are subsequently analyzed and discussed. The study shows that the aftermarket in the construction industry does not work satisfactorily and efficiently. This view is shared by representatives from both property owners and construction companies. The contractor does not spend a lot of time and energy on the aftermarket, even though it is the aftermarket that constitutes the majority of a building's technical service life. One reason for this is the difficulty for the contractor to see the profitability in aftermarket investments. Aftermarket-related work take place at the expense of the production of new projects, where new production is prioritized. To succeed in the aftermarket, it is important to understand what long-term benefits it can provide. With a separate aftermarket organization, the contractor eliminates the conflict of interest between production in projects and aftermarket-related jobs. The separate aftermarket organization creates the conditions for other units of construction companies to become more profitable. In addition, there is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship with the property owner and its facility management unit which can generate new projects. In order for the aftermarket organization to work, it requires that certain factors, conditions and risks be taken into account. If this is considered and the contractor can change their approach and organization in the aftermarket, it can be made more effective and adding value for both construction companies and property owners.
Aksin-Sivrikaya, Sezen. "Essays in Intangible Corporate Assets." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/22870.
Full textIn a digital world, the very existence of traditional business models is challenged as firms face disruptive innovation and intense competition. In such a business environment, intangible assets are increasingly perceived as the basis of competitive advantage. This thesis explores tangible benefits of intangible assets, specifically focusing on corporate reputation and CSR reporting quality. We take a resource-based view (RBV) of the firm and derive our testable hypotheses from the extant literature mostly in reputation, leadership, stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory, and signaling theory. Our data is mainly drawn from surveys conducted by Manager Magazin and Gold Bee Corporate Responsibility Assessment System, which has been developed by the CSR Reporting Research Group at the WTO Guide CSR Development Center. In performing our calculations, we adopt a (generalized) structural equation modeling approach. In our work, we uncover antecedent processes behind reputations. Our results imply that there is a business case for active management of both corporate and individual reputations by illustrating the link between reputations and firm outcomes. We show that corporate reputation can be utilized as a tool to protect and defend competitive positions, which can also work as a deterrent for potential market entrants. We further show that individual reputations may act as a medium to mitigate negative news and improve stakeholder perceptions in times of crises. Our findings also indicate that nonfinancial metrics are gaining prevalence. We illustrate that mere compliance with rules and regulations does not suffice anymore since in order for stakeholders to reward social and environmental progress, companies need to partake in CSR programs that resonate with their stakeholders and properly communicate associated nonfinancial metrics, which in turn will help improve firm outcomes through boosting internal and external intangible assets.

Full textThis dissertation contributes to the limited body of knowledge on systemic consequences of management control tools, also to the limited body of research on management control as system by mobilizing management tools as an analyzer of organizational phenomena. Based on an ethnography case study in a large European railway company, this research finds that this organization utilizes successively two packages of management tools for the governance of internal entities involved in the production of services delivered ta passengers: the first one based on the levers of customer/supplier relationship, the second one by hierarchal levers. The systemic effects generated by these packages of management tools are complex, some are beneficial, other are neutral, and some are even harmful to the performance. By applying Schatzki's practice theory which circumvents the unhelpful opposition between the functionalist determinism and the sociological/psychological critical approaches, we argue that the systemic consequences of management tools can only be apprehended in the practice where they are used. Mobilizing management tools as an analyzer of organizational phenomena offers a new vista to study management control as a system

Full textIntroduction: Older people with cognitive impairment such as dementia, delirium or depression, are commonly cared for in acute hospital wards. These older people may have specific needs associated with a cognitive impairment. However, literature indicates that the milieu, organisation and care processes in acute care not always support in meeting these needs. Aim: The overall aim of the thesis was to illuminate care of older people with cognitive impairment in hospital environments. Methods: The thesis consists of four studies. Study I used a cross-sectional design to explore staff attitudes toward older people with cognitive impairment, staff satisfaction with care and work and perceived person-centeredness of the ward (n=391). Study II used a Grounded theory design to explore barriers to person-centred care for older people with cognitive impairment at an acute medical ward. Study III used a cross-sectional design to explore the psychometric properties of the Swedish version person-centred care for older people with cognitive impairment scale (POPAC) in a sample of acute hospital staff (n=293). Study IV used a phenomenological hermeneutic design to explore the meanings of caring for older people with cognitive impairment in acute hospital wards as narrated by nursing staff (n=13). Results: Study I showed that participating staff estimated a neutral attitude to older people with cognitive impairment in the spectrum between negative and positive attitudes, and that factors such as being younger, a nurse assistant and experiencing the care of older people with cognitive impairment as burdensome, were associated with more negative attitudes. The results also showed that healthcare professionals felt that older patients' cognitive ability was rarely evaluated during hospitalisation, and that care were rarely based on evidence-based guidelines for care of older people with cognitive impairment. Study II illuminated that an organizational focus on medical needs, interventions and routines contributed to staff falling behind in relation to meeting these older patients' multidimensional needs, and that this could lead to signs of suffering for older patients, feelings of being excluded for relatives, and a frustration for staff. Study III supported a continued use of the POPAC scale for ratings of perceived prevalence of person-centred care processes for older people with cognitive impairment, but further studies was recommended to explore scale dimensionality. Study IV illuminated that the greater a gap that is experienced between what nurses can do (real) and what they want to do (ideal) in caring for older patients with cognitive impairment in acute care settings, the more meaningless care is experienced and the greater a threat is experienced to the nurses personal-professional integrity. The comprehensive understanding indicated that caring for older people with cognitive impairment in acute care settings means to provide nursing care in an environment that does not support the nurses’ possibilities to protect and develop their personal-professional integrity. Conclusions: A reasonable conclusion from these studies is that there may be reasons to further discuss and study how attitudes, perspectives, and goals for care, together with the content, procedures and interventions that can support or obstruct good nursing care for older people with cognitive impairment in hospital settings. There may also be reasons to explore how staff can be supported to provide person-centred care to these older patients, for example through guidelines for care of older people with cognitive impairment, standardised assessments of cognitive ability, and implementation of care processes that supports person-centred care. In addition, to further critically examine how organisational and environmental factors in hospital wards can support or obstruct person-centred care for older patients seems needed. There may also be a need to further develop conditions that can support nursing staff to maintain and develop their personal-professional integrity, by developing environments that provides further possibilities to provide good care for these older patients.

Full textThe territory is a socially constructed apparatus and not a transcendental entity. Understanding the territorial phenomena requires to identify the mechanisms of this construction. The purpose of this thesis is to describe these territorialization processes, in a comparative approach to uncover the central figure of strategic territorial management, an ideal-typical configuration of collective action that appears when mechanisms legally instituted impede the territorial expression of strong societal dynamics.Strategic territorial management, the emergence of which is closely correlated with that of sustainable development, combines the territory as a regulatory framework, knowledge sharing as a cognitive principle, cooperation as an operational organization and governance as a decision-making process. In this context, the creation of the territory involves project based dynamics on transactional approaches and conventional logics
