Di, Francesco Michael Francis, and not available. "Program Evaluation and Policy Management in Australian Central Agencies." The Australian National University. Public Policy Program, 1997. http://thesis.anu.edu.au./public/adt-ANU20010726.162328.
Full textAbstract:
Of the many components of reform to Australian government administration in the
1980s, the introduction of systematic program evaluation is perhaps one of the least
examined. This thesis seeks to assess the Federal Labor Government's evaluation
strategy as an instrument for enhancing what are here termed the policy management
capacities of central agencies. It proceeds in two steps. First, the thesis traces in detail
the development of program evaluation policy in Australian federal government from
the effectiveness reviews of the Coombs Report of 1976 to the current evaluation
strategy, and argues that, despite competing purposes for it, evaluation was intended
primarily to serve decision making in central government. This policy aim was
cemented by the economic crisis of the mid 1980s and framed around budgetary issues
by its steward, the Department of Finance. Second, in order to assess the impact of the
evaluation strategy, the thesis develops a framework for analysing program evaluation
as one instrument for strengthening the core policy management functions of central
agencies. In this context, policy management is essentially a coordination task. The
contribution of evaluation to two aspects of policy management-resource
coordination, and policy development and coordination-is examined. The findings
confirm that attempts to formalise evaluation processes have had a variable impact-
central budgetary processes remain dependent on relatively informal assessment
procedures, although recent attempts to enhance policy coordination through the
evaluation of policy advising processes have proved potentially to be more influential.
In conclusion, the thesis argues that the evaluation strategy represented a credible
attempt to better inform policy making in central government, but suffered for want of
clear policy design and firm execution that resulted in only a marginal impact on these
processes.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I study the legitimacy of the Federal Reserve System. Administrative legitimacy, I argue, is an evaluative (or subjective) concept consisting of two beliefs: first, administrative institutions have a right to govern; second, they are an appropriate way to handle public tasks.
After discussing scholarship on legitimacy, I examine the Federal Reserve System, asking two questions about it. First, how have its officials attempted to legitimate both their institution and their actions over time? Second, how have elected officials, scholars, and political activists attempted to (de)legitimate the Fed and its officialsâ actions?
While answering my research questions, I tell a story about which strategies the institutionâ s supporters have used to legitimate the Fed and which strategies the institutionâ s opponents have used to delegitimate it. To do so, I examine two things: the public argument about the Fedâ s administrative legitimacy from 1970 to 1995; the Fedâ s interactions with its environment, those with direct implications for its legitimacy, during this time.Ph.

Pongatichat, Panupak. "The alignment between performance measurement and strategy in central government agencies." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2005. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2601/.
Full textAbstract:
This research involved an investigation of the alignment between performance measurement and strategy in central government agencies. A review of the literature suggested that, although the topic is of great interest and importance, it has been underresearched. The context of the existing studies appears to be based primarily on for-profits/business rather than not-for-profit/public sector domain. Moreover, the existing research is mainly normative lacking supporting empirical evidence. The objectives of this research were to (1) develop greater understanding of performance measurement in the public sector, and (2) provide supporting empirical evidence in place of the normative arguments regarding the alignment between performance measurement and strategy. This research aimed to answer the question, ‘how, in central government agencies, is the alignment between performance measurement and strategy managed?’ This interpretive multiple-case research comprised of the studies of four central government agencies in Thailand. The primary data source was interview data supported by documentation. The interpretational analyses were conducted both at intra-case and inter-case levels. This research found that public officials often regarded, ‘strategy’ as equivalent to ‘policy’ and that these terms were used interchangeably. The research also found that the existing definitions of fundamental performance measurement/management terminologies did not fit comfortably with public sector management owing mainly to their lack of practical perspectives. This research proposed refined terminologies. Additionally, the research found eight advantages of stategy-misaligned performance measurement despite the absence of their recognition in the existing literature. As a result, misalignment could be preferable in some circumstances. However, public managers were under pressure to demonstrate alignment between performance measurement and strategy thus ‘alignment tensions’ occurred in practice. In order to deal with these tensions, three strategies were identified including (1) neglecting the tensions (as in ‘do-nothing strategy’), (2) attempting to realign performance measurement with strategy (as in ‘realigning strategy’), and (3) directing attention from the alignment issue (as in ‘distracting strategy’).

Elston, Thomas. "Reinterpreting agencies in UK central government : on meaning, motive and policymaking." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2014. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14045/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a qualitative and interpretive exploration of continuity and change in the role of executive agencies in UK central government. Its three objectives are: (i) to test the longevity of the semi-autonomous agency model first introduced by Conservative governments after 1988; (ii) to explore the department-agency task division in the policymaking processes supposedly fragmented by this ‘agencification’; and (iii) to evaluate the paradigmatic testament of contemporary agency policy and practice in Whitehall. The thesis builds from an extended case study conducted during the 2010 Coalition Government in the Ministry of Justice and three of its agencies – the National Offender Management Service, HM Courts and Tribunals Service, and the Office of the Public Guardian. Social constructivist meta-theory and the application of narrative and discourse analysis together make for an account of interpretive transformation that is theorised by discursive institutionalism. Substantively, the thesis first describes an asymmetric departure from the ‘accountable management’ philosophy which the 1988 Next Steps agency programme originally epitomised. Agency meaning is multivocal, but contemporarily converges towards accountability and transparent corporate governance, rather than managerial empowerment, de-politicisation and decentralisation. Secondly, institutional preservation of the policy-delivery work dichotomy is registered, yet found to be a poor descriptor of both historic and contemporary policy processes. Agency staff act as policy initiators and collaborators, contrary to Next Steps’ quasi-contractual, principal-agent logic, and further evidencing the departmentalisation of the once arm’s-length agency model. Thirdly, and paradigmatically, while no unidirectional trend is found, the thesis adds to the growing literature positing some departure from the former ideological and practical predominance of ‘new public management’. In so doing, it also demonstrates the challenges faced by large-N population ecology and administrative systems analysis – the favoured methodology in much international agencification scholarship – in accounting for continuity and change in policy, practice and paradigm.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Customs Border Patrol reported a total of 67,339 children crossed the Mexican border illegally into the Unites States in the 2014 fiscal year. The Office of Refugee Resettlement found 34% came from Honduras, 32% from Guatemala and 29% from El Salvador. The United States has been strained with the task of finding, providing and funding adequate housing, health care and education amongst other things for these minors while they wait for court immigration proceedings. The purpose of this research was to explore the barriers social and human service agencies face in finding a safe, stable and nurturing environment for Central American unaccompanied undocumented minors in the United States. A qualitative method to understand the phenomenon was taken. This study revealed six common themes: 1) barriers in providing a safe, stable and nurturing environment was lack of the English language in the children and stigma surrounding immigration 2) barriers in education were lack of English language, financial situation and lack of transcripts or history of the child’s educational background, 3) barriers in health care was the limited access to health care 4) barriers in housing were crowded living situation, lack of affordable housing and placement in foster care, 5) barriers in language were the child’s limited knowledge of the English language, lack of bilingual providers, lack of educational material in Spanish, child’s limited knowledge of Spanish language, 6) other barriers not inquired about were the participants lack of knowledge of available resources for the children and the child’s immigration status.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, one of the most significant pieces of environmental legislation in New Zealand has been the Resource Management Act (New Zealand Government 1991) that has empowered local government agencies to manage the use of natural resources in their regions. Three Government Departments have been responsible for developing policies directly relating to the use of natural resources in New Zealand. The Department of Conservation has been mainly concerned with the management of natural resources on public land. The Ministry for the Environment has particularly addressed environmental policy issues of national significance. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has worked with New Zealand's agricultural, horticultural and forestry industries to encourage sustainable resource use and development for the benefit of all New Zealanders. In general, local and central government agencies carrying out policy analyses have drawn upon highly goal driven theories such as Rational Choice or Incremental Policy Theories or alternatively they have applied more loosely framed theories such as Systems Policy Thinking or Garbage Can Theory. Policy formulation and instrument selection may have been based upon instrumentalist, proceduralist, contingentist or constitutivist selection criteria, depending upon the assumed influence of peoples' behavioural and social contexts in addition to the technical characteristics of the tools themselves. However, there has been a limited range of policy theories to guide the integration of policy analysis, and formulation and operational planning into a management strategy for effective policy delivery. Such theories would have assisted policy agencies to identify the human and social behaviours most closely related to policy issues and to better match policies to differences in the political and social context of each of the issues that they were dealing with. In academic articles a number of behaviour models from social psychology have been used to explain and predict human behaviour. One of those, the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) has a long history of use in research and application. It has been adapted to suit the needs of policy makers in human health, marketing, and education. Applications of the TRA have been reported to have achieved coefficients of determination for behaviour of on average, 53% in one study and 71% in another. Some of the modified models based upon the Theory such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour, have in themselves been able to make additional contributions to peoples' understanding of how to explain and predict human behaviour in more complex situations. In this report, unless otherwise stated, references to the TRA are inclusive of all associated models, such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour. This thesis has examined the application of the Theory of Reasoned Action in the formulation of environmental policy. Five research questions were considered. 1. Could a human behaviour model based upon the Theory of Reasoned Action be developed sufficiently for environmental policy makers to explain landowner behaviour associated with managing indigenous vegetation? 2. How well could the social psychology model of human behaviour based upon the TRA have predicted public responses to a policy programme? 3. How well could the social psychology model of human behaviour based upon the TRA have distinguished between the policy-intervention needs of different stakeholder groups? 4. How much have peoples' values, attitudes and beliefs affected their behaviour? 5. What would be the immediate antecedents to peoples' behaviour and how have they led to behaviour change? This has been a quantitative study to develop and test models of human behaviour specific to the preservation of indigenous vegetation. Three data sets were compared from surveys of peoples' bush protection behaviour, the establishment of indigenous woodlots and the protection and planting of riparian areas with indigenous vegetation. The results from the analyses have shown that accounting for peoples' intentions could have been used to improve the estimates of peoples' use of policy-desired practices. The coefficients of determination in multivariate equations to predict peoples' natural resource behaviour based upon non-specific (external) variables, varied between 3 - 10%. By including intentions in the models, the level of explanation increased to 10 - 17%. The results may have been lower than expected from other examples in the literature due to poorly specified measures of behaviour relative to the measures used for intentions. When it came to estimating intentions (rather than the actual behaviours), the TRA variables in regression equations achieved coefficients of determination of 55 - 75% and these provided a measure of how well the underlying values, attitudes and beliefs could have given policy makers an understanding of peoples' behaviour. Comparing the beliefs of people with high and low intentions to perform the behaviours, clear differences have been identified that could have been the basis of policy strategies for behaviour change. After analysing and considering these examples, this thesis has argued that the TRA could be used in the future to provide policy agencies with an increased level of understanding of human behaviour and so enable them to formulate policy interventions for achieving predictable levels of behaviour change.

This master thesis is based on analyses of the Cypriot banking sector from 2010 to 2016. The aim is to describe the effects of the recent financial crisis in Cyprus to locally operating banks, to assess the assistance provided to Cypriot banks and especially to analyze the development of systemically important Cypriot banking institutions, namely the Bank of Cyprus Group, Cooperative Central Bank, Hellenic Bank and RCB Bank Ltd with emphasis on the most important banking institution in Cyprus. The work draws mainly from published financial results of the systemic banks and from the Central Bank of Cyprus representing the consolidated banking sector. Furthermore, for the purpose of this study was used the Eurostat database, EBA and the IMF periodicals, along with the websites of the credit rating agencies.

Full textAbstract:
Le développement rapide de la société contemporaine et de la communication, ainsi que l’avènement de la mondialisation aboutissent à la diversification et complexité des affaires publiques. Ces missions nouvelles exigent que l’administration ou le fonctionnaire reste flexible et ouvert pour répondre aux besoins du peuple, cependant l’État et les administrations hiérarchiques ne sont pas capables d’assouplir facilement la structure et la procédure administrative non contentieuses en raison du cadre authentique. D’une part, l’État s’est attaché à des services publics en intervenant longtemps sur le marché libre, à l’origine, les services publics ont eu pour but de promouvoir l’intérêt général, une part des politiciens et des fonctionnaires ont satisfait illégalement l’intérêt privé à travers la puissante confiée ; d’autre part, l’efficacité des services publics restait plus mauvaise que celle des entreprises privées. C’est-à-dire que les administrations ont ignoré souvent l’importance de l’analyse coût-avantage. Même si une administration remplit sa tâche au nom de l’intérêt général, les citoyens ne lui permettent pas de gaspiller les ressources étatiques. Le design de l’institution de l’organisation publique au dehors de l’administration hiérarchique peut se référer à la théorie de gouvernance publique nouvelle. Afin d’assurer la limite de compétence entre pouvoir législatif et pouvoir exécutif, la séparation des pouvoirs mérite de prendre en considération la légitimité et raisonnabilité. Enfin, le mécanisme de l’imputabilité se concrétise la demande de la démocratie et la responsabilité politique. Compte tenu de la corruption potentielle et de la diminution de juge et partie, l’apparition de l’organisation administrative indépendante a la fonction de maintenir la compétition équitable et d’éviter la corruption aux États-Unis à la fin de 19e siècle. La France a instauré la première autorité administrative indépendante, la Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL) en 1978. Il existe 26 autorités administratives indépendantes jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Le pouvoir législatif élargit les fonctions de celles qui sont susceptibles de la régulation de la concurrence, de la promotion des rapports entre les administrations et les citoyens, ainsi que la protection des droits fondamentaux. Par rapport à l’autorité administrative indépendante en France, le législateur taïwanais a fait preuve de prudence en matière de la création de l’organisation administrative indépendante. Selon son point de vue, elle se soustrait au contrôle de l’administration supérieure en suscitant des querelles au sein du gouvernement. Le Yuan législatif a inauguré la première commission administration indépendante, la Commission de la concurrence équitable (CCE) en 1992. (...)The fast development of modern society and communication, as well as the emergence of globalization, bring on the diversification and complexity of public affairs. New missions require that administrations or civil servants become flexible and open to meet the needs of the people, but, because of the authentic framework, the State and hierarchical administrations are not able to easily change the rigid structure and procedure in the administration. On the one hand, the State has provided public services for the people through continuous intervention in the free market. In the original, public services have had the aim of promoting the general interest, some politicians and civil servants have illegally satisfied the private interest through their powers; on the other hand, the efficiency of public services is worse than that of private companies. Administration is used to ignoring the importance of cost-benefit analysis. Even if an administration carries out its task in the name of the general interest, citizens do not allow it to waste state resources.The design of the public organization’s institution outside the hierarchical administration can refer to the theory of new public governance. In order to ensure the boundary between legislative power and executive power, the separation of powers claims to take into consideration legitimacy and reasonableness. Finally, the accountability mechanism is embodied in the demand for democracy and political responsibility. Taking account of the potential corruptions and the decrease the conflict of interest, the emergence of the independent administrative organization arrived for maintaining the fair competition and avoiding the corruption in the United States at the end of the 19th century. France established the first independent administrative authority, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL) in 1978. Up to now, there are 26 independent administrative authorities. The legislative power extends the functions of those who are likely to regulate competition, promote relations between administrations and citizens, and protect fundamental rights. Compared with the independent administrative authority in France, the Taiwanese legislation has been cautious about creating the independent administrative organization. In his view, it evades the control of the senior administration and easily causes the flight within the government. The legislative Yuan inaugurated the first independent administrative commission, the Fair Competition Commission (FCC) in 1992. (...)

The diploma thesis investigates causes and progression of the mortgage crisis beginning in 2006 in the United States. Theoretical part of the thesis explains general causes of economic crises in accordance with the Austrian theory of the business cycle. Some of the basic problems of nonmonetary business cycle theories are mentioned and the most common ABCT attacks refuted. Analytical part of the thesis tries to explain why the current business cycle appeared primarily in the form of mortgage crisis. For this reason institutions playing the main role in the American mortgage market are being analysed including Federal Reserve System, government-sponsored enterprises, and three biggest rating agencies Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings. Thesis conclusion should answer the question why and how the mortgage crisis originated in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study is to develop knowledge about what employees in communication agencies and its customers perceive as central to the relationship. The research questions are: What do communication agencies experience as central to the relationship with customers? and What do customers experience as central in the relationship with communication agencies? Based on Social Exchange Theory (SET), supplemented with Behaviorally Driven Relationship Marketing Theory (BRM), we have investigated what is central in the communication agency– customer. As a basis for achieving our goal, we have in total conducted semi-structured interviews with nine people, six people from a communication agency and three of their customers. We have interviewed employees from both a communication agency and from customers to achieve a more nuanced view of the research problem. In our thematic analysis of our interview transcripts we found the concepts Phases in the Relationship, View of the Relationship, and Cooperation as central aspects. Through these aspects we illustrate the respondents' perceptions of what is central in the relationship. The study's results indicate that the longer the relationship is, the better the cooperation gets, which enables both parts possibilities to achieve desired product. In addition, a crucial part of this seems to be the start up phase and an equal view of the relationship. Furthermore, an ongoing relationship should be characterized with trust, commitment and two-way communication.

Full textAbstract:
En septembre 1994, une convention internationale sur la sureté nucléaire a posé les principes d'organisation du contrôle de la sureté des centrales nucléaires civiles. Ces principes issus de la réflexion de plusieurs groupes d'experts internationaux sont-ils appliques tant par les organisations internationales que par les grands états nucléaires, et notamment par la France ? Au niveau international, l'étude menée concerne la structure et les fonctions de l’AIEA, l'AEN et le traité Euratom. Au niveau national, l'organisation française de contrôle de la sureté nucléaire est comparée aux organismes compétents des États-Unis, du Canada, de la Belgique, du Japon, du Royaume-Uni et de l’Allemagne. Les règles de droit international dans le domaine nucléaire prennent généralement la forme de propositions, de principes généraux. Les organisations qui les édictent favorisent les échanges et les conseils scientifiques. Toutefois depuis l'accident de Tchernobyl, des conventions ont été élaborées et signées concernant l'alerte et l'assistance en cas d'accident. La convention sur la sureté nucléaire tente d'imposer un cadre règlementaire minimum de contrôle de la sureté. Mais la diversité des organisations nationales de contrôle de la sureté nucléaire induit la diversité des législations. Pour ce qui concerne la France, la règlementation, construite empiriquement, ne comporte pas de loi établissant des principes de bases du contrôle de la sureté nucléaire. Tous les autres grands états nucléaires étudiés ici ont voté des lois nucléaires. Cette particularité française, si elle présente certains avantages de souplesse, n'en est pas moins la preuve d'un déficit de débat démocratique en la matière. Le droit nucléaire français, comme la réglementation internationale, doit s'ouvrir au débat avec le public. L'information complète et la participation de ce dernier sont le gage de la pérennité de l'industrie electro nucléaire.

Full textAbstract:
Les nouvelles technologies se succèdent dans la formation sans que de véritables réponses aux problématiques de la formation continue en ligne soient apportées. Et pourtant, à chaque introduction d’une nouvelle technologie, des travaux de recherche sont menés sur les apprenants, la théorisation du design ou encore la caractérisation des dispositifs créés. Mais il manque une analyse sur le terrain du design pour envisager des évolutions positives et l’introduction de résultats de recherche dans les pratiques.A l’ère des MOOC et de leur utilisation par les entreprises, comment les formations continues en ligne sont-elles « designées » ? Dans le contexte spécifique de la création de MOOC en agence, nous décrivons le design des formations en ligne sous deux angles : celui de l’activité de design et celui des expériences produites.Bénéficiant d’un statut particulier de Doctorante salariée d’une agence spécialisée en formation en ligne, des « scènes de vie » issues d’une participation observante ont permis d’établir un modèle de design, selon la Théorie de l’Activité.Pour l’étude d’expériences, quatre projets MOOC de l’agence ont servi d’études de cas. Après la présentation des choix de conception spécifiques à chaque projet et des résultats quantitatifs obtenus, les représentations issues d’expériences sont analysées suite à la réalisation d’entretiens semi-directifs.Ces travaux proposent finalement une méthode de description du design et d’analyse conjointe du design et des expériences. Dans le cadre du terrain observé, de nouvelles perspectives dans le design de ces formations sont soulevées concernant la médiation des savoirs, ses dimensions stratégique et évolutiveIn the domain of training, new technologies have come and gone but have not provided real answers to the problems of online continuing training. And yet, with each introduction of a new technology, research is conducted into the learners, the theoretical aspects of course design and the characterization of the devices created. What is lacking seems to be an analysis of design in the field; such an analysis would make it possible to imagine positive developments and to implement research results in hands-on practice.In the era of MOOC and their use by companies, how are online continuing training courses designed ? In the specific context of the creation MOOC by an agency, we set out to describe the design of online training from two perspectives : that of the design activity and that of the experiences that the training brings about.For this research I had the advantage of being at the same time a PhD student and a salaried employee of an agency specialized in online training and was thus able to collect « scenes of life » as both participant and observer and these were used to establish a model of design, according to the Theory of Activity.For the study of the experiences, four MOOC projects of the agency served as case studies. After a presentation of the design choices specific to each project and the quantitative results obtained, the representations resulting from the experiences are analyzed based on the semi-directive interviews that we carried out.Finally, this work proposes a descriptive method of design and joint analysis of design and experiences. As part of the observed field, new perspectives related to the design of online training were raised concerning the mediation of knowledge, its strategic and evolutionary dimensions

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse en urbanisme et aménagement analyse les interactions entre les grandes gares historiques et les logiques du marché ferroviaire européen. L'interférence entre les principes du marché et ceux de l'aménagement des lieux de transport invite à mobiliser de nouveaux concepts pour présenter l'évolution des grandes gares historiques dans une perspective contemporaine. Pour ce faire, il est proposé d'utiliser les méthodes de la sociologie économique des marchés et de comparer trois terrains: la gare de St Pancras à Londres, la gare du Nord à Paris et la gare centrale de Milan. Dans un premier temps, la thèse présente les différentes formes d'encastrement des principes concurrentiels (historiques, culturels, institutionnels et sociaux) dans l'aménagement des gares, en prenant le parti d'une analyse diachronique au long cours de chacun des cas. Dans un second temps, la thèse détaille les agencements marchands à l'œuvre - selon le modèle analytique synthétisé par Michel Callon. Trois agencements marchands ont été identifiés qui correspondent à trois formes d'économisation de l'objet-gare: l'agencement de l'infrastructure de transport, l'agencement du bien immobilier, l'agencement de la place marchande. Cette thèse démontre combien la rationalisation économique des gares formate autant qu'elle est formatée par ces infrastructures. In fine, elle invite à considérer les processus d'économisation de l'espace pour en comprendre l'aménagement qui en résulteThis research in urban planning and studies analyses the interaction between major historic railway stations and the logics of the European rail market. Interferences between the market principles and those of the planning and the management of transport places are an issue that requires new concepts to understand how do major historic railway stations evolve in our time. This research applies mehods developed in the field of economic sociology, especially on markets, and compares three cases: London St Pancras, Paris Nord and Milano Centrale stations. The first part of this dissertation presents the different forms of embeddedness (historical, cultural, institutional and social) that implement competition principles into the planning and the management of railway stations. A long-term diachronical approach of each case is presented. The second part of the dissertation uses the theoretical approach of market agencing developed by Michel Callon in the fields of economic sociology and of science and technology studies. Three ways of agencing railway stations are analysed: agencing the essential facility, agencing the real estate asset and agencing the “market square facility” – a new kind of market square especially developed in transit places. This dissertation shows how economic rationalisation frames railway stations as far as those infrastructures frame this economic rationalisation in return. It invites us to consider the process of economisation of space as a key part of planning practices

First, the thesis traces in detail the development of program evaluation policy in Australian federal government from the effectiveness reviews of the Coombs Report of 1976 to the current evaluation strategy, and argues that, despite competing purposes for it, evaluation was intended primarily to serve decision making in central government. This policy aim was cemented by the economic crisis of the mid 1980s and framed around budgetary issues by its steward, the Department of Finance. Second, in order to assess the impact of the evaluation strategy, the thesis develops a framework for analysing program evaluation as one instrument for strengthening the core policy management functions of central agencies. In this context, policy management is essentially a coordination task. The contribution of evaluation to two aspects of policy management-resource coordination, and policy development and coordination-is examined. The findings confirm that attempts to formalise evaluation processes have had a variable impact- central budgetary processes remain dependent on relatively informal assessment procedures, although recent attempts to enhance policy coordination through the evaluation of policy advising processes have proved potentially to be more influential. In conclusion, the thesis argues that the evaluation strategy represented a credible attempt to better inform policy making in central government, but suffered for want of clear policy design and firm execution that resulted in only a marginal impact on these processes.

The Internet has emerged as one of the most prevalent forms of communication media. Gathering and sharing of Electronic information are becoming essential elements of modern life. Access to the Internet largely decides whether of not one can survive the increasingly turbulent and networked world. Therefore, it is important to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to benefit from the Web sites, especially those of the governments. While there is an increasing portion of people with disabilities in the society due to the demographic trends long documented by many research, the government leaders have paid little attention to their needs when planning and implementing Web projects. If the ignorance continues, people with disabilities will be even more disadvantaged since acquiring knowledge is much easier now for the other people. This study is intended to provide an in-depth evaluation on the Web sites of Taiwan's central government based on the Web Accessibility Guidelines (WAI) provided by W3C. Based on the WAI indicators, the authors carefully studied and coded each individual Web site of the central governmental agencies. The coding results indicate that the government Web sites in general have made many of the mistakes as predicted. Among the most problematic are, the

In respect of government agencies, the promotion system serves the function of promoting outstanding talents for fulfilling the common organizational objectives and visions in accordance with the needs of the organizational business. For civil service personnel, promotion is related to their career plan, honor, and job satisfaction. Apparently, promotion plays a very important role in the management of human resources. It’s already been about six years since the enforcement of Civil Service Promotion Act on July 16, 2000. The issues of whether the results have achieved the original legislative intent and function, and whether there are considerable obstacles and unfairness in the implementation of the Promotion Act, as most civil service personnel considered, call for the attention of law-executors. The personnel staff of the government agencies should survey completely the key problems concerned from more diversified viewpoints and objective perspectives. In this research, firstly, the research motives and objectives were proposed. Secondarily, the theoretical bases and literature review related to promotion were explored. Then, the legislative background and regulations of the Promotion Act were investigated, and the status quo and defects of the implementation of Civil Service Promotion Act surveyed. Furthermore, the personnel staff of the central government agencies were invited to participate in this research as the surveyed subjects. The issues likely involve in the implementation processes of Promotion Act, e.g., the factors of legal-system design, screening procedure, legal revision, man-ruling politics, promotion change, organizational structure, organizational justice, and personal characteristics/capabilities were generalized into four dimensions: the legal, executive, organizational, and personal dimensions. In-depth interview and questionnaire survey were conducted to explore the function of promotion system from the different attributive perspective of the personnel staff of central government agencies to examine whether the implementation effects have reached the expected results, and analyze the reasons for not achieving the legislative intent in hopes of seeking for the key factors to confront the difficulties in the enforcement of Civil Service Promotion Act in Taiwan from the organizational, legal, practical, and personal dimensions. In synthesizing the viewpoints of the personnel staff towards the existing problems of the Civil Service Promotion Act, the related findings and conclusion were presented and the suggestions proposed as follows: 1.Organizational dimension: to review and improve the level design and deployment of the organizational structure 2.Institutional dimension: to streamline the principle standard and procedure regulations 3.Executive dimension: to respect procedures and justice/fairness as well as the staffing authority of the chief executives and the encouragement function of civil service personnel promotion 4.Human dimension: to respect legal system; get rid of the “man-ruling” concept and political/personal lobbying; regain the spirit of merit promotion

Deste, derivam-se dois objetivos específicos: analisar a relação entre indicadores encontrados na literatura e a atribuição de rating das agências; e analisar a relação entre os ratings atribuídos pelas agências e a classificação estabelecida pela Resolução n° 2.682/99, publicada pelo Banco Central do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com perfil empírico-analítico. Os resultados revelaram que existe relação entre os indicadores contábeis (ou rácios) de Assaff Neto (2012) e Marques et al. (2008) e os ratings atribuídos pelas agências, bem como foi identificada relação entre as classificações do Banco Central do Brasil (Resolução 2.682/99) e os ratings da Fitch. A pesquisa atingiu seu objetivo geral por ter sido constatado que o risco de crédito - relacionado ao fato de o Fundo Aeronáutico utilizar exclusivamente a avaliação das agências de rating na definição de suas aplicações financeiras - advém da assimetria de informação, decorrente da ausência dos dados que levaram as agências a atribuírem seus ratings, bem como da não utilização de outras ferramentas de análise financeira que auxiliem no acompanhamento da gestão dos bancos. O Comando da Aeronáutica, ao se utilizar dos resultados desta pesquisa para definir as aplicações do Fundo Aeronáutico, conseguirá acompanhar melhor a gestão dos bancos, ao identificar rácios com maior afinidade entre os significativamente correlacionados e os parâmetros utilizados para atribuição dos ratings das agências. Adicionalmente, os resultados deste estudo não se restringem ao contexto do Fundo Aeronáutico, podem ser aplicados por quaisquer gestores de recursos públicos ou privados, que busquem aferir se a atribuição de rating das agências é condizente com o desempenho da instituição bancária.

From this, derive two specific objectives: to analyze the relationship between indicators found in the literature and the rating agencies; and analyze the relationship between the ratings assigned by the agencies and the classification established by Resolution No. 2682/99, published by the Central Bank of Brazil. This is a case study with empirical-analytical profile. The results revealed that there is a relationship between financial indicators (or ratios) of Assaff Neto (2012) and Marques et al. (2008) and the ratings assigned by the agencies and was identified relationship between the classifications of the Central Bank of Brazil (Resolution 2682/99) and the ratings of Fitch. The study achieved its main objective by having been found that the credit risk - related to the fact the Aeronautical Fund exclusively use assessments of rating agencies in defining their financial investments - stems from information asymmetry, due to the absence of data led the agencies to allocate their ratings and not use the other tools of financial analysis to assist in monitoring the management of the banks. The Air Force Command, when using the results of this research to define the applications of Aeronautical Fund, will better monitor the management of banks to identify ratios with higher affinity and significantly correlated among the parameters used for assigning the ratings agencies. Additionally, the results of this study are not restricted to the context of the Aeronautical Fund, can be applied by managers of any public or private funds, which seek to assess whether the rating agencies is consistent with the performance of the bank.

Labor unions have been questioning whether using agency workers in the government is setting an example of building the working environment of the working poor, disguising employees, encouraging unequal treatment, exploiting workers and other misuses of agency work. To make better working conditions for laborers and protect agency workers’ rights, the government has been pushing the legislation of agency work actively. However, domestic studies of the legislation and related policies from agency workers’ viewpoints have been inadequate. As a result, to learn about public sector agency workers’ feelings about their jobs and thoughts on the legislations and policies, this research used job insecurity, perceived distributive justice and job satisfaction as indicators. Besides, interviews with the selected nine participants were held to gather more information about the topic. The research also predicted the effect of the passage of the draft Dispatched Labor Protection Act on agency workers. In the final chapter, the policy suggestions for the use of agency work were delivered according to the findings and analyses.

The study focuses on a partnered facilitation involving teachers, the media and the learner. The implications of educational technology-based strategies of learning and the need for teachers to develop a theoretical framework of understanding educational technology are considered. The partnership between the teacher, the learner and the media are seen as crucial to the implementation and enhancement of educational technology-based strategies of learning. In recommending the need for ongoing, sustained training of teachers in educational technology-based strategies of learning, the study concludes that satellite teachers' centre is indispensable as an agency to drive the entire process forward. In this regard it is considered that satellite teachers' centres have the potential to take the focus of training and development of skills closer to schools and arrange on-site programmes. The large mass of under-qualified and untrained teachers will be able to enhance their educational technology skills to facilitate resource-based learning which is so crucial to the new outcomes based approach to learning and education. South Africa has the media and a large population of learners who are yearning for quality education. In addition, the country has a large store of teachers who are in need of ongoing sustained training in educational technology-enhanced strategies of learning. The study concludes that teachers' centres have been under-utilised and that satellite teachers' centres could operate on a more structured basis in terms of an approved national policy.Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1998.
