Full textGovernments struggle with inefficiencies and an inability to achieve interoperable information communication technology (ICT) systems. Apparent issues include a failure of local government to realize the benefits of electronic government (eGov) initiatives, high project failure rates, administrations hampered with inefficiencies, and a lack of interoperability between systems within the local government. Thus, local governments need to address their eGov initiatives in a structured way to improve their chances of providing the benefits that are sought after. Sweden’s eGov model is decentralized, following a strict new public management (NPM) model. Whilst eGov ought to bring benefits to local government, Sweden is still hampered by inefficiencies and an inability to achieve interoperable ICT systems. This has been the case for quite some time. One reason why systemic gains from adopting eGov have not reached the levels sought after could be that, in many cases, ICT implementations are not enough. The transformation needed for eGov is not instantaneous; it requires various new ways of working. Enterprise Architecture (EA) has come to be seen as a possible solution to the apparent issues of developing, adopting and managing eGov successfully. By utilizing EA, it is argued that it is possible to bridge ICT systems and business processes, thus making the organization more efficient. However EA’s usefulness for eGov development and adoption is the subject of debate. Some researchers argue that EA lacks clearly defined scopes and concepts, which makes the use of EA in government difficult. Whereas other argues that although EA frameworks are comprehensive logical frameworks, they lack content that is related specifically to government organizations. The thesis posits the following research questions: What is the role of EA in eGov adoption in Swedish local government? together with three sub questions: What are the prerequisites for using EA in Swedish local eGov adoption? What has the Swedish local government in Örebro achieved with its use of EA in eGov adoption? And What problems have the Swedish local government in Örebro experienced in its use of EA when adopting eGov? To explore the role of EA in eGov adoption a longitudinal case study is carried out on the municipality of Örebro’s eGov project MovIT, a project launched in 2007 that ended in 2009. I study the prerequisites, results and problems associated with using EA in Swedish local government as part of eGov adoption. A comparative study is conducted of the goals of eGov, as stated in official eGov documents at EU and Swedish governmental levels will attest as to the supposed benefits of EA in contemporary EA-literature. From the study, it can be concluded that EA, as a phenomenon, is thought to be, if not a silverbullet, then at least a prerequisite to eGov success. In term of prerequisites, EA use cannot assist Swedish local government where there are more politicized objectives; in this situation, local government is required to look elsewhere to find support for its work. The study identify several critical issues from the empirical study of the prerequisites: distinction between administrative and political responsibilities; political mandate; political timing; resource allocation; coordination under NPM; dependence on providers; and choosing among standards and best practices. These issues need to be acknowledged and handled appropriately by Swedish local government in order to improve the chances for success in eGov adoption. The study also showed that NPM as governance model becomes a hindrance in eGov adoption, preventing the project from a more explicit use of an EA-framework and negatively affecting the projects possibility to adopt eGov. However, despite this structural problem, it is still possible – as observed – for a project that is based on EA-thinking to begin working. EGov, NPM and EA-thinking form a triad, with structural properties that, in some instances, correlate. In such cases, this can lead to positive changes. However, in other situations, they are contradictory, resulting in Swedish local government having a difficult time in adhering to the suggestions endorsed by the eGov project. This lead to incoherent progressions towards requested results. The existing structures hindered effective cooperation, both internally between different departments and externally with other local governments. This licentiate thesis has shown that the initial use of EA in local government eGov adoption is complex. Given the contradictory nature of NPM and eGov, local government has to acknowledge the negative impacts of NPM on eGov adoption. As well as acknowledging the issues that arise from EA use, a key area is a lack of support of local government in an area that is most likely to be endorsed by politicians. Politicians do not get re-elected based on efficient internal processes with a highly integrated ICT; rather, changes must be visible to citizens and businesses. This licentiate thesis has also shown that ‘EA-thinking’, as a means for local government, can move towards an EA without the explicit use of an EA framework or EA method. However, ‘EA-thinking’ may give rise to other issues that need to be acknowledged and dealt with. This licentiate thesis contributes to research by improving our understanding of the nature and importance of promoting and inhibiting different factors. Including critical issues for succeeding with eGov adoption, the negative effects of NPM and how EA-thinking can lead to positive changes, even though it cannot assist local government in all aspects deemed important to eGov adoption. In terms of practice, this thesis contributes by highlighting the problematic nature of institutionalized structures and the effect that this has on eGov adoption. It also contributes by enabling local governments to acknowledge the problems identified. This allows them to better understand their own development and possibly avoid similar problems or at least have a better understanding of how to handle the issues that arise.

This thesis, aims to identify changing and excluding elements in the solidarity economy management process, together with a group of workers of solidarity economic enterprises, promoted by the local public policy of solidarity economy, seeking ways to improve the daily practice of management. An introduction with the contextualization of the theme, a literature review on self-management in solidarity economy groups and a characterization of the public policy of solidarity economy, focused in São Carlos/SP, were performed. The methodology used for conducting the present research was the Critical Communicative Methodology (CCM), which places the dialogue, interaction, interpretation and validation of the results collectively, in a communicative process of knowledge production. The CCM provides, through communication, the construction of a critical analysis of reality by the people who experience it, seeking, thereby, to obtain results to transform or validate a social reality. It is a participatory methodology, which enables in its development the flattening of the relations between participants/researcher through consensus building. Data collection in the CCM is performed using quantitative and qualitative methods, as in a traditional methodology. What makes this methodology different is its participatory nature, in which the representatives of communities or collectives that are part of the research participate of the project, investigation process and its conclusions, in order to interact, reflect and make decisions in all these steps, following the communicative orientation's postulates. To carry out the research, a critical communicative group with people from solidarity economic enterprises, participants of São Carlos public policy, was formed. Analysis matrices were produced, so that the excluding or changing elements identified by the group were distributed into two categories: public policy and solidarity economy. After the realization of communicative groups, the systematization of data was performed by the researcher and the results submitted to the group for discussion, construction and validation of its final content. The matrices with the final result listed 70 elements, 46 (65.7%) classified as excluding dimension and 24 (34.3%) in the changing dimension. It means that the dialogue pointed out that the themes solidarity economy and public policy have more challenges to be overcome than elements that have been changing the reality of enterprises fostered by São Carlos public policy. This research considers that these changing elements identified should be strengthened. For those elements identified as excluding, they represent a platform that can guide new actions or even redirect those ones that already exist, so they can become changing in public policy and in the self-management experience.
Esta tese tem por objetivo identificar elementos transformadores e excludentes no processo de gestão em economia solidária, junto a um grupo de trabalhadores e trabalhadoras de empreendimentos econômicos solidários, fomentados pela política pública municipal de economia solidária, buscando formas de melhoria na prática cotidiana da gestão. Foi realizada uma introdução com a contextualização do tema, uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a autogestão em grupos econômicos solidários e uma caracterização da política pública de economia solidária, com enfoque no município de São Carlos/SP. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi utilizada a Metodologia Comunicativa Crítica (MCC), que coloca o diálogo, a interação, as interpretações e a validação dos resultados de forma coletiva em um processo comunicativo de produção de conhecimento. A MCC possibilita, por meio da comunicação, a construção de uma análise crítica da realidade pelas próprias pessoas que a vivenciam, buscando, assim, obter resultados para transformar ou validar sua realidade social. É uma metodologia participativa, que em seu desenvolvimento permite a horizontalização das relações entre participantes/pesquisadora por meio do processo de construção de consensos. A coleta de dados na MCC é realizada utilizando-se métodos quantitativos e qualitativos, como em uma metodologia tradicional. O que a diferencia é seu caráter participativo, no qual os representantes de comunidades ou coletivos que fazem parte da pesquisa participam do projeto, da realização da investigação, incluindo a análise dos dados, e de suas conclusões, de maneira a interagir, refletir e decidir em todas estas etapas, seguindo os postulados da orientação comunicativa. Para a realização da investigação, foi formado um grupo comunicativo crítico com pessoas de empreendimentos econômicos solidários, participantes da política pública de São Carlos. Foram produzidas matrizes de análise, de maneira que os elementos excludentes ou transformadores identificados pelo grupo foram distribuídos em duas categorias: políticas públicas e economia solidária. Após a realização dos grupos comunicativos, foi realizada a sistematização dos dados pela pesquisadora e o resultado submetido ao grupo para discussão, construção e validação de seu conteúdo final. A matriz com o resultado final elencou 70 elementos, sendo 46 (65,7%) classificados na dimensão excludente e 24 (34,3%) na dimensão transformadora. Isto significa que o diálogo estabelecido apontou que as temáticas economia solidária e política pública apresentam mais desafios a serem transpostos do que elementos que têm sido transformadores da realidade dos empreendimentos fomentados pela política pública municipal de São Carlos. A presente pesquisa considera que estes elementos transformadores identificados devem ser fortalecidos. Em relação aos elementos identificados como excludentes, estes representam uma plataforma que pode orientar novas ações ou mesmo reorientar ações já existentes, para que estes elementos possam se tornar transformadores na política pública e na vivência autogestionária.

Full textThe increasing of political and socio-economic changes strongly influences the budget balance of public organizations. They are constrained to move towards a more reactive and flexible organizational model. For public organizations, the challenge is to determine the best public-private hybridization, into a reticular structure, ensuring the economic performance of their services but also the creation of public value. These reorganizations present many pitfalls that are insufficiently addressed by public management literature. It analyzes management changes and gaps in the public sphere, but rarely suggests the methods and tools that support the forms of management it recommends. In this context, the aim of this thesis is to review the public management literature in order to bring a new perspective and propose the implementation of models, methods and tools of industrial engineering. Thus, we propose a meta-model and a methodological framework for the engineering of an extended organization. This proposal aims at controlling the complexity of a reticular structure without damaging the autonomy of the organizations (public and/or private) that compose it. The implementation of the proposed methodology is illustrated by a textbook case inspired by the clothing function of the French armies: the scenario of an outsourcing of this clothing function is studied taking into account its inclusion in a reticular structure

Full textUsing an investigative approach the study starts by outlining the governance quandary that exists within the public sector, with observations made over the past decade by scholars and active role players in the governance arena both in the private sector and in the public sector. It continues to show a growing need for good governance in the public sector, especially in the developing economies of emerging democracies. It uses South Africa as an example in this regard, although the discussion can just as well be applied to other countries finding themselves in a similar situation. It places the governance debate in perspective and provides the background for the development of the Public Sector Integrated Financial Governance Framework (IFGF). A brief look is taken at the reasons for the growing focus on governance in general, governance in the private and public sector, the need for governance, the basic dynamics of governance, stakeholder relationships, the regulatory framework and the role of the judiciary. It then places this understanding of governance – from a financial perspective – within the South African context. Using the South African context the study discusses the need for an IFGF, the basic requirements for such an IFGF and then as a response proceeds to discuss the role of values and principles, functional application areas and governance-related activities in an IFGF. It develops a financial governance universe, which provides an overview of the various subsections within these aspects. From this basis the study proceeds to develop the IFGF by identifying specific principles and values applicable to South Africa, followed by a description of functional application areas consisting of leadership, management and control practices required as a minimum to ensure healthy public sector financial governance. It continues to develop governance-related activities based on existing frameworks recognised by public sector agencies globally and in some instance, designed for the private sector. The study proceeds to develop these areas to enable employees in the public sector to discharge their duties in a manner that can form the cornerstone in governance excellence. Having used a deductive approach during the first few chapters to develop the IFGF, the study then proceed using an inductive process to construct the conditions and the related activities required by the IFGF. It develops detailed information on specific activities that must be in place for the IFGF to be functional. These activities provide the “how” and are grouped together based on a recognised framework. Governance effectiveness depends on a situation where all areas are considered. Lastly the study focuses on the conclusions regarding the IFGF outcomes and therefore discusses the implementation of the IFGF and the impact on the accounting system, measuring governance and keeping the IFGF updated with developments internally and externally. The study shows the growing importance for developing countries and emerging economies to demonstrate healthy governance processes and practices. However, no consensus yet exists on the approach or methodology, particularly with regard to building national ownership of and political commitment to governance (Landell-Mills, 2003:369). Fortunately similar initiatives have been forthcoming from a number of countries and, although they are each focussed differently, they provide a base for developing a public sector IFGF for South Africa in particular, but can also be used as a guideline for other emerging democracies. Developing the governance universe facilitates the process of keeping track of a multitude of possibilities that are relevant in day-to-day management. The study determined the applicable criteria that an IFGF must satisfy to attract attention when funding is required from the donor community and to provide assurance to stakeholders with limited skills and knowledge that objectives are achieved effectively and efficiently in an ethical environment. The benefit of this framework is that it has passed the first scrutiny in South Africa namely that of the Provincial Treasury of the Provincial Government Western Cape (PGWC) public sector audit committees in the public sector (PGWC) and is currently being subjected to a four-year implementation process, starting with an awareness phase in all Departments of the PGWC. During this process the senior management of all the departments are being exposed to the principles contained in the IFGF and their practical observations and suggestions will be applied towards formulating an updated version of the Governance Framework of PGWC (Draft version 2.20e). This is significant, because it represents a healthy interaction between academic research and practical application, a process that is more often than not balanced, but appears to be in favour of either the one or the other.
