Full textStakeholder involvement is widely acknowledged to be an important aspect of program evaluation (Mertens, 2007; Greene, 2005a; Brandon, 1998). However, limited work has been done to empirically study evaluators’ practices of stakeholder involvement and ways in which stakeholder involvement is affected or guided by various factors. As evaluators interact with and place value on the input of stakeholders, social, cultural, and historical backgrounds will always be infused into the context (Mertens & Wilson, 2012; MacNeil, 2005). The field of evaluation has done little to critically examine how such contexts impact evaluators’ perceptions of stakeholders and their involvement. The present study attempts to fill these gaps, focusing specifically on the relationships among evaluator identities and characteristics, evaluation models, and stakeholder involvement. Using the frameworks of critical evaluation theory (Freeman & Vasconcelos, 2010) and a theory of capital (Bourdieu, 1986), the present study utilized a sequential explanatory mixed methods approach. A sample of 272 practicing program evaluators from the United States and Canada provided quantitative survey data, while a sample of nine evaluators provided focus group and interview data. Regression analyses and thematic content analyses were conducted. Findings from the quantitative strand included relationships between: (1) measures of individualism-collectivism and stakeholder involvement outcomes, (2) contextual evaluation variables and stakeholder involvement outcomes, (3) use of use, values or social justice branch evaluation models and stakeholder involvement outcomes, and (4) whether the evaluator identified as a person of color and the diversity of involved stakeholders. Findings from the qualitative strand demonstrated the role of dominant frameworks of evaluation serving to perpetuate systems of power. Participating evaluators revealed ways in which they feel and experience systems of power acting on them, including participation in, recognition of, and responses to oppression. The qualitative strand showed that evaluation models may be used to help recognize power dynamics, but that they are also used to reinforce existing power dynamics. Implications and recommended directions for future research are discussed

This dissertation contributes to our understanding of the strategies the companies use to engage external stakeholders, as well as the processes and outcomes of engagement. The first essay proposes a framework for evaluating a firm's stakeholder engagement strategy, comprised of eight dimensions that vary on a spectrum from least to most advanced. This essay also proposes six kinds of engagement outcomes: three involving learning and relationship building, and three involving tangible changes. The essay concludes with preliminary findings about engagement outcomes at the two case companies. The second essay uses the first essay's strategy framework to develop and validate scales for measuring each strategy dimension, and test which of these vary together to comprise a higher-order strategy. This type of analysis has not yet been done in the research on stakeholder engagement, which instead relies on descriptive typologies comprised of elements that are assumed, but not proven, to cluster together. The analysis in this paper generated six first-order factors, five of which combined to form a Strategy factor. This was used to score companies in the oil and gas, electric power, and automotive industries. Together, the first and second essays represent a first step towards more precisely defining and measuring the level of sophistication of a firm's stakeholder engagement strategy. The third essay is a fine-grained social psychological analysis of how negotiation frames, interpersonal trust, and issue characteristics interacted in one long-term engagement between a power company and environmental non-governmental stakeholders. The question motivating the analysis is: What prevented the participants from realizing the possibility they envisioned for engagement? I argue that a combination of issue characteristics and relational ambivalence -- the simultaneous presence of interpersonal trust and distrust -- motivated the company to engage in "quasi-cooperation" with stakeholders. Quasi-cooperation is the simultaneous deployment of cooperative and competitive tactics. The discovery by stakeholders of the company's quasi-cooperation triggered a conflict spiral that led to the destruction of the parties' working relationships, ending their engagement. Theoretical implications and practical lessons drawn from this case expand our knowledge of how practitioners might approach long-term engagements differently in the future.

Full textBusinesses fail in the absence of a sustainable engagement strategy with stakeholders who influence and are influenced by a company's business activity in communities where the company has a presence. The purpose of this multiple case study was to investigate factors that defined a framework regarding the creation of shared value when applying the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) of sustainable development as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy between business, the community, and U.S. watershed initiatives to help resolve often conflicting stakeholder views. The specific problem was the lack of an existing framework regarding the creation of shared value when applying the TBL of sustainable development to CSR engagement initiatives between the firm, the community, and U.S. watershed initiatives to help resolve often conflicting stakeholder views. The theoretical framework was stakeholder theory integrated with the corporate imperatives of CSR, TBL, and shared value. The study focus was to compare shared value, CSR, and the TBL perspectives of 22 leaders and participants from two collaborative watershed initiative partnerships in one mid-eastern state. The study research question was: How do shared value, CSR, TBL define a community engagement framework between the firm, the community, and U.S. watershed initiatives to help resolve often conflicting stakeholder views? Two primary study conclusions emerged: (a) shared value, CSR, TBL were factors that defined a community engagement framework when integrated into a strategy between the firm, the community, and U.S. watershed initiatives to help resolve often conflicting stakeholder views; (b) the factors that contributed to creating shared value were interrelated and contributed to creating shared value when joined together in a Sustainable Community Engagement Framework to help resolve often conflicting stakeholder views.

Full textFormer research discusses the development of sustainability reporting and the way stakeholders are being engaged in the development and the content of the reports. The importance of stakeholders influence is also discussed. Freeman´s (1984) definition of the stakeholder concept sets the foundation for former research within the subject. The stakeholder concept is broad and different researchers define the concept differently, which results in a problematization of the concept.The purpose of this study is to enhance the development of sustainability reporting over time and how companies engage their stakeholders in the reports. The result will contribute to higher knowledge about the company’s ways to engage their stakeholders in their sustainability reports. To answer our purpose and research questions we´ve used a content analysis where we analyzed information from sustainability reports, websites and carried out a word analysis.The study includes three different companies’ sustainability reports from 2008 and 2013 and information from their websites which includes stakeholders and their sustainability work. The study also includes GRI´s guidelines which sets the foundation for the company’s sustainability reports. The result shows that two of the companies that are included in the study have developed their communication with their stakeholders during the years that were analyzed. This becomes clear by the amount of times their different stakeholder groups are mentioned through a word analysis in the reports from 2008 and 2013. The companies have identified their stakeholders in their sustainability reports in different ways and also described how they engage them in their sustainability work.

Full textTjänstedesign är ett fält som fortfarande håller på att växa fram. Dess ursprung kan hittas i när praktiker och akademiker inom människo-centrerad design blev intresserade av tjänster som designmaterial. Tjänstedesign byggs upp baserat på kunskap från design- såväl som tjänsteforskning. Dock så innebär detta möte av traditioner att tjänstedesignspraktiken ställs inför utmaningar som dess moderdiscipliner inte har ställts inför. Syftet med denna avhandling är att utforska hur involveringen av intressenter i designprocessen påverkas vid design av tjänster. Fyra studier har genomförts för att studera hur användare, personal och andra intressenter involveras i tjänstedesignsprojekt. Två av studierna fokuserade på att bygga upp en holistisk bild av intressentinvolvering. Dessa båda studier genomfördes med intervjuer respektive deltagande observation som datainsamlingsmetod. De båda andra studierna fokuserade i mer detalj på specifika aspekter av intressentinvolveringen. Av dessa två studier så studerade en skillnader mellan hur designers och antropologer närmar sig etnografi och den andra vad som kommuniceras av de visualiseringar av tjänstemiljöer som är vanligt förekommande inom tjänstedesign. Slutsatsen dras att tjänstedesign kan beskrivas som en intressent-centrerad designdisciplin. Verktygen som används inom tjänstedesign är till stor grad lånade från annan kvalitativ forskning, men även designspecifika verktyg förekommer. Den information som fås genom intressentinvolvering omvandlas till insikter genom analys och syntes. Dessa insikter visualiseras sedan i lättillgängliga representationer av tjänstetransaktioner.

While research in the urban freight field has mainly focused on evaluating regulation, stakeholder preferences prior or after a policy has been implemented, or on a single type or sub-set of agents and freight policies, the core of this thesis centers on differentiating aspects of urban freight policy design. This thesis aims to uncover how a systematic evaluation of urban freight policy design for retail malls in Singapore could weave stakeholder engagement into the policy lifecycle. This work also provides a framework for assessing the impact that a wide range of urban freight solutions could have on the different system stakeholders. System design tools, including Stakeholder Value Network (SVN) analysis and tradespace exploration, were leveraged to (1) identify key architectural aspects of urban freight policy design and (2) generate multi-dimensional policy configurations. Insight from a survey administered to retail shop owners in two large malls in Singapore as well as findings from other research on stakeholder preferences and perceptions of urban freight solutions were used to evaluate the policy configurations generated from the point of view of key stakeholders. Results and findings from this framework include policy performance patterns among configurations and stakeholders, which can be further used to drive. policy decision-making and evaluate trade-offs among the system stakeholders under certain architectures. The systematic evaluation presented in this thesis revealed that according to retail shop owners, urban freight policy architectures with goods consolidation translate into higher efficiency for this group 100% of the time when compared to policy configurations without goods consolidation. Also, the results for policy efficiency as viewed by public-sector stakeholders highlighted the expense of public welfare - with average costs for incentive or subsidy-based policy architectures increasing more than three-fold compared to policies in which participation is required and two-fold compared to policies in which participation is voluntary. Future work will re-assess the urban freight policy scores with direct stakeholder participation and explore the performance of the policy architectures under different demand patterns.

Full textEn el complex i hostil entorn econòmic actual que acompanya des del seu inici al segle XXI, les empreses requereixen de noves estratègies, per mantenir el seu avantatge competitiu en el mercat, garantir la sostenibilitat a llarg termini i considerar les demandes de les parts interessades. En aquesta situació, el paper del manager de l'empresa és rellevant i aquest ha de disposar de noves capacitats que li permetin donar resposta a les exigències del mercat. Aquesta tesi doctoral, a través d'una enquesta realitzada a 339 mànagers utilitzant una metodologia empírica basada en un model d'equacions estructurals, proposa com a noves capacitats de gestió del manager (individual dynamic managerial capabilities- IDMC), les competències emprenedores (alertness, creativity and self-awareness) i les capacitats dinàmiques individuals (sensing, seizing i transforming). Els resultats obtinguts suggereixen que hi ha una relació directa i positiva entre el grau de desenvolupament de les IDMC i el nivell de compromís social i ambiental i amb els grups d’interès (stakeholders). Es proposa que les IDMC que posseeix el/la manager són les que impulsen el seu compromís amb la sostenibilitat i aquest al seu torn, impulsa el compromís amb els stakeholders. Finalment, s'analitza per primera vegada si hi ha diferències de gènere en les relacions anteriors, resultant que la dona disposa de més compromís tant social com mediambiental amb la sostenibilitat; si bé, es conclou que l'empresa requereix d'un equip directiu compromès amb la sostenibilitat a llarg termini independentment del gènere dels seus membres

Using new technologies, such as web-based applications and online map visualizations, to help public engagement for public transit campaigns is an emerging trend in the urban planning field. Scenario simulations and map-based visualizations to show accessibility or travel time impacts can provide users insights into the possible results of new transportation projects. CoAXs (Collaborative Accessibility-based Stakeholder Engagement platform) is a web-based application that has been implemented in experimental public engagement exercises in three cities in the United States to test its potential for facilitating the public engagement process around public transit advocacy. In 2016 and 2017, two types of experiments were conducted using CoAXs in Boston, New Orleans and Atlanta. One used a workshop-based approach, in which participants were gathered in a room and used CoAXs with facilitators' help. The other experiment took an online, remote approach, in which people used CoAXs by themselves, with the help of an online tutorial. By using a web log and survey data, this research found that the self-learning process works in the remote version and the more a user uses it, the more s/he thinks CoAXs is easy to use. However, the remote version performed worse than the workshop approach in terms of usability and possibility for inspiring imagination.
