Hoareau, Charlène. "Le Réseau Créatif de Pratiques pour soutenir et diffuser des pratiques innovantes : structurer et animer une innovation organisationnelle : le cas du champ de la santé." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Aix-Marseille, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021AIXM0008.
Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche questionne la diffusion de pratiques innovantes dans un champ de la santé pluri-institutionnalisé et pluraliste. Notre cadre théorique aborde la diffusion de pratiques innovantes entre différents lieux d’activités soutenue par une innovation organisationnelle : le Réseau Créatif de Pratiques (RCP). Le RCP repose sur deux concepts : le « réseau de pratiques » potentiellement favorable à la diffusion de pratiques et les « collectifs créatifs » pour assurer son management face à deux tensions (exploitation versus exploration et généralisation versus contextualisation). Notre démarche méthodologique s’appuie sur deux études de cas longitudinales : une Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) et un Collectif National des pilotes MAIA (Collectif). La méthodologie qualitative repose sur des entretiens semi-directifs, observations et des données secondaires. Nos deux études de cas montrent comment émerge et s’auto-organise un RCP au regard de deux caractéristiques : sa structuration et son animation. Ces deux cas montrent une situation instable des collectifs créatifs orientés par la politique d’un Haut (ARS) ou de l’expertise opérationnelle d’un Bas (Collectif). Pour autant, ce déséquilibre tend à se résorber à la faveur des efforts récents de mise en visibilité et de justification. Notre modèle d’analyse nous conduit à réaliser une lecture critique des mix organisationnels et managériaux des RCP étudiés et discuter des mécanismes correctifs (un encastrement complémentaire de justification, une structure duale, une double capacité à agir) qui leur sont nécessaires pour parvenir à compenser leur fort enracinement dans l’une des deux autres strates (Haut ou Bas)Our research questions the diffusion of innovative practices in a pluri-institutionalized and pluralistic health field. Our theoretical framework addresses the diffusion of innovative practices between different places of activity supported by an organizational innovation: the Practice Creative Network (PCN). The PCN is based on two concepts: the "network of practice" potentially favorable to the diffusion of practices and the "creative collectives" to ensure its management in the face of two tensions (exploitation versus exploration and generalization versus contextualization). Our methodological approach is based on two longitudinal case studies: a Regional Health Agency (RHA) and a National Collective of MAIA pilots (MAIA Collective). The qualitative methodology is based on semi-directive interviews, observations and secondary data. Our two case studies show how a PCN emerges and self-organizes with regard to two characteristics: its structuring and its management. These two cases show an unstable situation of creative collectives oriented by the policy of an Upperground (RHA) or the expertise of an Underground (MAIA Collective). However, this imbalance tends to be reduced thanks to recent efforts to raise visibility and justification. This model of analysis leads us to make a critical reading of the organizational and managerial mix of the PCNs studied and discuss the three corrective mechanisms (a complementary embeddedness of justification, a dual structure, a dual actorhood) that are necessary to compensate for their strong roots in one of the other two layers (Upperground or Underground)

Full textAbstract:
The evaluation of creative participatory community projects remains a controversial issue in politics, policy and the arts, its focus sharpened by the reality or rhetoric of austerity. Despite the recent plethora of policy documents and reviews there is little consensus about how projects should be evaluated or what constitutes good evidence about the impact on individual and collective wellbeing of ‘being creative’. This research set out to develop and trial feasible and effective evaluations for small to medium sized projects in the West Midlands of the UK based on field research into how impact is produced. Through mainly qualitative research in diverse contexts it was able to identify a range of conditions in projects reflecting the interrelationship of creativity and participation in which positive impact could be maximised. The research sought to theorise the impact of these conditions using elements of Actor Network Theory and Freire’s concept of praxis, concluding that impact is likely to be incremental, partial and non-linear. Central to this theorisation was the synthesis of evidence about the impact of creativity and embodied making on thinking, affect and a sense of agency, with ideas about how people change, producing a new evidence-based theory of change. In a practice-led approach, new creative methods were trialled in which data produced by participants had aesthetic as well as communicative value and the evaluation process itself contributed to positive impact. While it was possible to evaluate aspects of this impact through episodic interventions, field trials showed that it was more effective to develop a systemic evaluation strategy. Such a strategy needed to be participatory and integrated into project planning, in order to respond to the stochastic systems creativity inevitably provokes. This proved to offer two advantages: the potential to engage many stakeholders, not just as respondents but also as agents actively defining and measuring evaluation outcomes; and the potential for reflection about impact as process rather than outcome. These findings were then implemented in a number of projects, including trials of the Arts Council UK’s developmental Children and Young People’s Quality Principles. The method has been identified as ‘improving the conversation’ amongst partners, stakeholders and artists who can re-position themselves as active agents of evaluation rather than mere respondents, using the tropes, practices and materials of their own professional practices.

Ainsworth, Rodney Phillip. "The entrepreneurial playwright : a relational approach to marketing plays in the regions." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2008. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/19241/1/Rodney_Ainsworth_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This exegesis examines the proposition that playwriting is an entrepreneurial activity when combined with the role of producer. The thesis demonstrates that, when a playwright combines the two roles and considers the development of a network of relationships in the process, positive steps can be made towards the marketing of a work and the career progression of the playwright. The issues of marketing and career progression are considered in a regional context.
The thesis comprises the creation of a full-length theatrical work through the MA (Research) Program at Queensland University of Technology and an analysis of that journey in the context of regional theatre practice in Queensland. Nicolas Bourriaud’s theory of the Relational Aesthetic is used as a way of charting my practice and of examining how this approach might be appropriate to theatre-making in regional Australia. The paper establishes strategies by which the playwright, when also undertaking the role of producer, might manage the complex set of circumstances and interactions between the work, the community and the industry.
Using practice-led research methodologies, the exegesis examines the process of the creation of a new play, Sinking, and explores, through the use of an autobiographical case study, what the process has meant to the author’s development as a playwright over a fifteen month period. The paper uses a network map to explore the interactions created through a rehearsed reading of the first draft of the play in October 2006 and, in doing so, demonstrates how a close engagement with the community formed the basis of the entrepreneurial strategy.
The exegesis demonstrates that Bourriaud’s work connects very closely with the author’s practice and examines how the approach might be useful for other regional arts practitioners, particularly those in the early stages of their careers. The research aims to identify how the creation of the play, and the subsequent interactions generated within a regional community, can lead to opportunities to create connections both within the author’s place of residence and in broader theatre industry contexts, nationally and internationally, in order to provide commercial and professional outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to study the practice of networks in the crea- tive industries, which are thought to carry great economic, social and cultural po- tential inherent in them. The creative industries are said to be valuable especially for the development of a small and open economy like Finland. Networks, on the other hand, are identified as important in the business of micro entrepreneurial firms composing the creative industries, but the practice is still less researched. Thus, in order to better understand and support the needs of the creative industries regarding networks this thesis aims to identify best practices of networks in one specific creative industry of the small and open economy of Finland, the Finnish music industry. Seven Finnish music industry professionals including both men and women and representing different roles, music genres, lengths of careers and aspects of the Finnish music industry are face-to-face interviewed according to the method of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) focusing on successes and positive aspects instead of weaknesses and limitations. That is, with AI the Finnish music industry profes- sionals were encouraged to discuss their networks as part of their lives and work as truthfully and naturally as possible without pushing them to list some sort of requirements or expectations. A comprehensive list of best practices of networks is identified. Additional- ly, aspects of a great networking seminar are included in the list. Most important- ly, networks and relationships are said to mean everything to the Finnish music industry professionals interviewed in terms of developing their career and busi- ness as well as adding to their personal well-being. The findings discuss the ap- preciated aspects of and the appreciated elements received through networks. Al- so, the findings show how different practices of networks are needed in different situations in the lives of the Finnish music industry professionals interviewed and how different aspects of networks best serve their needs. To give an example, ap- preciated elements received through networks include information, ideas, advice, support, increase in happiness, facilitation of the work load, identification of new business opportunities, new opportunities through being recommended, progress business-wise, results, increase in the effectiveness of business, increase in the feeling of belonging to a community and new additional network contacts, and whereas the need to recognize new business opportunities, for example, is best satisfied with weak links, the need for support is better satisfied with strong ties.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis interrogates my and others?? creative praxis using the tools of the Internet, webcam, blogging and digital video, to elucidate possibilities for communication. I examine whether these tools are productive for my creativity and others?? in increasing communicative spaces and building social networks amongst the complexities of globalised culture. Many cultural commentators consider the Internet as a new kind of public sphere, developing community, strengthening the lifeworld and providing ethical discourse. The Internet, however, is a context not without problems. Still, less that one quarter of the world??s population has access, and computer illiteracy and governance (to name only a few) contribute to its limitations ?? this dichotomy is central to my investigation. I demonstrate that information communication technologies (ICTs) such as the Internet are radically altering our everyday lives and mediation is increasingly pervasive. I argue, therefore, that our globalised context demands alternative communicative spaces to mainstream media that allow diversity, plurality, intersubjectivity and new forms of interrogation. I ask whether the Internet can assist in the development of social networks and newest social movements (NSMs) by increasing civic bonds and communities. I posit communicative action, reflexivity and praxis as productive tools for a critical practice. I suggest that these theories are influential in researching the Internet??s potential in generating social awareness. I argue that the Internet can be used to construct social spaces and, in conjunction with creativity, can increase its productive capacity in developing diverse and ethical communicative contexts.

Watson, Allan. "Sound practice : a relational economic geography of music production in and beyond the recording studio." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2012. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/10432.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis develops a relational geography perspective on creative work and practice, with a specific focus on the recording studio sector. Drawing on an extensive social network analysis, a questionnaire survey, and nineteen semi-structured interviews with recording studio engineers and producers in London (UK), the thesis reveals how recording studios are constituted by a number of types of relations. Firstly, studios are spaces that involve a material and technological relationality between studio workers and varied means of production. Studios are material and technological spaces that influence and shape human actions and social inter-actions. Secondly, studios are sites of relationality between social actors, including engineers, musicians and artists. The thesis reveals how the ability to construct and maintain social relations, and perform emotional labour , is of particular importance to the management of the creative process of producing and recording music, and to building the individual social capital of studio workers. Finally, the thesis argues that studios are sites of changing employment relations between studio workers and studio as employer. In the recording studio sector, a complex and changing set of employment practices have re-defined the relationship between employee and employer and resulted in a set of employment relations characterised by constant employment uncertainty for freelance studio workers. It is argued that the three types of relations revealed in this thesis, manifest at a multiplicity of geographical scales, construct recording studios as distinctive social and economic creative spaces. In conclusion, it is argued that a relational perspective is central to progressing geographical accounts of creative work and of project-based industries in general.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to analyze business incubators and the relevant factors that take place inside these organizations.
The methodology used was a case study approach, which investigates a real environment, in this case: NeoEmpresa, a business incubator located in La Paz, Bolivia. The explanatory approach is also considered in this research since the purpose is to explain the business incubation characteristics as well as understand the importance of knowledge transfer and network creation inside business incubators.
The findings propose that the most adequate incubation model strongly depends on the incubator’s main purpose and that the learning practices that take place inside an incubator involve knowledge transfer, more considered experience transfer, and networking as relevant factors.

Ferreira, Paulo Sergio Altman. "Value co-creation in practice : an activity theory approach to service-based and networked business relations." Thesis, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10443/2965.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines value co-creation in networked service-for-service business relations. Current literature considers value through the experiential and circumstantial properties that permeates co-creation. Contemporary research also indicates the integration of resources and value facilitation as key aspects for co-creating value. This work suggests that value co-creation is a continuously changing practice that expands within on-going knowing and learning movements. The research collected the data of the study during the years of 2010-2012 in the city of Fortaleza – Brazil. Fieldwork concerned the implementation of IT systems in hospitals and clinics. The investigation comprised six case studies nested in two main cases. The first main case presents the perspective of the supplier side, while the second approaches a client organization. The methodology of the study, the case study ethnography, draws on cultural-historical activity theory and applies developmental work research in natural settings. Value co-creation in networked service-for-service relations emerges as multifaceted systems of diverging interests. Resource integration relates to questioning daily practices and envisioning potentialities. Interactions evolve through fast and distributed encounters that co-configure resolutions. In the context of multiple and diverging interests and contradictions, co-creating value refers to managing change. Knowing and learning how to co-create value consist in practicing transformational movements of navigating and interacting within multiple locations and participants in order to resolve contradictions in and between activity systems. The study identifies value co-creation as a dialectical system of practice. Contradictory elements hamper mutually benefiting relations at the same time that create possibilities for changes in the direction of co-creating value. The practice of value co-creation concerns questioning daily practices, knotworking value, and managing change. The central aspect of this practice concerns knowing and learning to accomplish these situated performances within the flow of daily market interactions.

Full textAbstract:
This study intends to explore how social media or social networking sites (SNSs) such as Facebook can facilitate communication channels or create dialogue spaces in a language class. Social media is a form of participatory media, which broadly refers to the “collection of communication channels or mediums (primarily online and mobile) through which social networks originate and are sustained” (Flew 2008:109). Although the term social media is often used as a collective term for SNSs or as the core trademark of Web 2.0, Flew (2008:17) also distinguishes social media by calling it a “communications infrastructure” that allows for “participation, interactivity, collaborative learning and social networking”. Flew (2008) identifies various online sites including the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia and the online user-generated video site YouTube as well as various personalised web space sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Friendster and Bebo as participatory media. The study’s data collection was situated at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) and investigated how social media can be used to facilitate dialogue between a tutor and BKI1120 Communication in English B students in a Higher Education (HE) context using qualitative methodology. This study compared the use of existing and more traditional or conventional classroom communication practices with those of SNSs as a communication channel, while focusing on social media application as a communication tool to create dialogue spaces that support teaching and learning practices. The research also attempted to identify alternative applications of social media for teaching and learning practices to inform researchers in the fields of HE and media. In the first data-collection phase, BKI1120 Communication in English B Public Management students were selected as the sample for the study. Seventeen students participated in the BKI1120 Facebook page created for the purpose of this study. In the second data-collection phase, a taped focus-group interview was conducted with eight BKI1120 Communication in English B students. The interview transcript was then analysed qualitatively for themes. The research findings showed that social media or SNSs such as Facebook can facilitate communication channels or create dialogue spaces in a language class, if it is managed effectively.

Full textAbstract:
People express their national identity not only through hot nationalist sentiments, but also in their daily conversations and practices. The theory of banal nationalism highlights the everyday routines and discourses through which mundane national sentiments are produced. In China, a number of young people are engaged in the creation of Ancient Chinese-style songs which, incidentally, reveal understanding of their national identity. Ancient Chinese-style songs (Gufeng 古风 in Chinese), a variety of digital songs that are created by young netizens online with special emphasis on traditional Chinese elements, provides data through which young people's interpretation and performance of national identity in their daily lives can be examined. Drawing on the theory of banal nationalism, this research analyzes the participants' construction of their national identity in music creating and listening activities. The research uses the qualitative method of web content analysis in order to understand the song lyrics and listeners' comments on the songs. The analysis presented here reveals various aspects of the participants' sense of banal nationhood. Findings show that the participants in Ancient Chinese-style songs not only provide multiple interpretations of national culture and history, but also engage in embodied performance of the nation through music creating and listening activities. In the process, the young people link their daily experience of online entertainment with national culture, and attach new meanings to the cultural elements they draw on. It is argued here that the young people exercise agency in their interpretation of the nation. Moreover, the diverse expressions of banal national sentiment created by the participants in this music style suggests that cultural traditions are not only the stereotyped concepts identified in hot nationalism studies, but that they also include everyday experiences that the young music lovers identify with. Key words: banal nationalism, national identity, Chinese youth, online music

Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/33157.
Full textAbstract:
Clinical decision-making about psychological interventions is best supported by robust evidence and informed patient choice. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the current gold standard in evaluating intervention effectiveness and identifying harm. At present, RCTs of psychological intervention are unlikely to include measurement of adverse effects and this is in part due to lack of consensus about this topic. A Delphi study was conducted with a panel of both professionals and people with personal experience of face-to-face psychotherapy across the spectrum of mental health difficulties to seek consensus on what to include on a measure of adverse effects. Fifty-four items derived from an initial list of 147 items generated by the panel, are included on the APTMOS outcome measure, which now in it's preliminary form now requires validation before use in RCTs. To date, the evidence for psychological interventions for psychosis and schizophrenia has not been synthesised, which is important to inform patient choice and decision-making. Network meta-analysis compares multiple interventions using direct evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and indirect evidence from the network. A systematic review of the literature identified 91 RCTs across 23 different intervention/control group categories. Psychological interventions were more effective at reducing total symptoms of psychosis than control groups. One intervention with a low risk of bias, mindfulness-based psychoeducation, was consistently identified as most effective, with large effect sizes. Subgroup analyses identified differential effectiveness in different settings and for different subgroups. Further high quality RCT evidence of the highest ranked interventions is required to inform updates to clinical guidelines of psychological interventions for psychosis.

Essa dissertação aborda o tema das práticas colaborativas de criação de conhecimento em redes de cooperativas de crédito. Os pequenos negócios são importantes agentes nas economias globais, tanto dos países desenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento. No entanto, historicamente esse segmento apresenta dificuldades para obter acesso a produtos e serviços financeiros formais no mercado bancário tradicional. Como alternativa para a inclusão financeira dos pequenos negócios, surgem as cooperativas de crédito, que atuando em rede realizam práticas que geram ativos de conhecimento relevantes para a inclusão financeira dessas empresas. O estudo tem como objetivo identificar as principais práticas colaborativas de criação de conhecimento, realizadas em redes de cooperativas de crédito, e como elas mobilizam diferentes tipos de conhecimento capazes de gerar ativos que fomentam a inclusão financeira. Para investigar e aprofundar o problema, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica em três Redes de Cooperativas de Crédito voltadas à criação de conhecimento para a inclusão financeira de pequenos negócios, situadas nos estados do Mato Grosso, Paraná e Minas Gerais, bem como a coordenação nacional das Redes, que é realizada pelo Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas (Sebrae). Os resultados permitem realizar uma descrição das principais práticas e do contexto necessário para que a realização dessas práticas colaborativas tenha relação com o fomento da inclusão financeira de pequenos negócios.
This dissertation addresses the theme of collaborative practices of knowledge creation in credit cooperative networks. Small businesses are important players in world economies, whether in developed or developing countries. However, historically this segment presents difficulties in obtaining access to formal financial products and services in the traditional banking market. As an alternative to the financial inclusion of small businesses, credit cooperatives emerge that, acting in networks, carry out practices that generate knowledge assets relevant to the financial inclusion of these companies. The study aims to identify the main collaborative practices of knowledge creation, carried out in networks of credit cooperatives, and how they mobilize different types of knowledge capable of generating assets that foster financial inclusion. In order to investigate and deepen the problem, an empirical research was carried out on three Credit Cooperative Networks aimed at creating knowledge for the financial inclusion of small businesses located in the states of Mato Grosso, Paraná and Minas Gerais, as well as the national coordination of Networks, which is carried out by the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae). The results allow a description of the main practices and the context necessary for the accomplishment of these collaborative practices to be related to the promotion of financial inclusion of small businesses.

BRANDNER, LOU THERESE ELISABETH. "The social capital of creative freelancers. Networking practices in digital and urban spheres." Doctoral thesis, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/11573/1568978.
Full textAbstract:
This study explores how freelancers in the creative and cultural industries (CCI) create, utilise and maintain social capital in the context of highly flexibilised, deregulated and digitalised labour markets. CCI freelancers organise their own workplace, working schedule and social security. Regardless of widespread precarity, they commonly perceive their working conditions as an autonomous choice to enjoy the privilege of working creatively. In relational, project-based working environments, their main way to find employment opportunities and reduce risk are social relationships. Their networking practices potentially lead to an intertwinement of private and professional spheres as well as digital and physical connections, and therefore to specific forms of sociality.
This project has a qualitative approach, focusing on freelance creatives in Rome, Italy, and Berlin, Germany. Interviews were conducted with 31 creative freelancers living or working in the neighbourhoods of San Lorenzo and Pigneto in Rome as well as Kreuzberg and Neukölln in Berlin. These data were analysed with a grounded theory approach. Additionally, creative freelancers’ urban surroundings, networks and social media content were analysed with a network-ethnographic perspective to networking practices in digital and urban spaces.
Findings imply that within the sample, the creation, utilisation and maintenance of social capital constitute continuous tasks throughout the careers of creative freelancers. Berlin’s urban space as a networking environment is more professionalised and adapted to the needs of the “creative class” compared to Rome’s more improvised yet more tight-knit creative scene. The relationship of social capital and the digital sphere appears to be shifting, with social media platforms increasingly serving the purpose of bonding on a more personal level with audiences through curated displays of intimacy. Constant networking as an integral part of the entrepreneurial ethos of creative professions overall leads to a profound blurring of personal and private spheres for creative freelancers.
