Teacher attrition is an ongoing problem in education, and the lack of leadership opportunities contribute to that problem. Teachers who serve in leadership roles are more likely to remain in the profession and positively impact students and the profession as a whole. However, there is little qualitative research to address how teachers develop the needed leadership skills to take on additional leadership roles. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experiences of participants in a District Teacher Forum. The District Teacher Forum is a cohort of teachers identified as Campus Teachers of the Year led by the District Teacher of the Year with the intended purpose of helping the members to develop leadership skills. The conceptual framework that guided this study was a congruence of the social cognitive theory, constructivist theory, and perceived organizational support. The study aimed to examine the experience of teachers participating in a teacher leadership development program. Interviews of 6 Forum members selected through maximum variation sampling and a focus group provided the needed information, and findings were analyzed in relation to the research questions. This study provided insight into how teachers perceive their experiences in a teacher leadership development program as a foundation for future professional development processes to develop teacher leadership. Findings showed that teachers who are provided the opportunity to participate in professional development related to leadership in a cohort setting gain a self-identity as a teacher leader and want to serve as teacher leaders. Implications for social change include a guide for other districts to use to establish a Forum or other leadership initiative and potentially greater teacher retention.

Networks are an increasingly common aspect of administrative life in almost any policy arena. In 1999 the health care industry created the National Quality Forum, a network administrative organization, whose founding mission was to improve American healthcare through endorsement of consensus-based national standards for measurement and public reporting of healthcare performance data that provide meaningful information about whether care is safe, timely, beneficial, patient-centered, equitable and efficient. The NQF is representative of a network administrative organization because it was created to address issues of health care quality in a new way by bringing together organizations from the public and private sectors and providing them with a forum to discuss and debate measures of quality, and ultimately, to effect change. The NQF thus represents a major administrative experiment in addressing health policy issues. In spite of the popularity of networks, little is known about a network managerâ s or, more appropriately for this dissertation, a network entrepreneurâ s critical tasks in creating a network administrative organization. The purpose of this dissertation is to present the results of an empirical study of the critical leadership tasks of the NQFâ s President and CEO during the NQFâ s formative stages. This dissertation identifies and conceptualizes three critical leadership tasks of the NQFâ s President and CEO: defining the NQFâ s mission, building and maintaining the NQFâ s social base, and creating the NQFâ s Consensus Development Process. In addition, this dissertation proposes a series of testable hypothesis based on these three critical tasks that can be used for exploring leadership in other NAOs. The findings indicate that leadership is crucial to the formation of a network administrative organization and fills a gap in our understanding of network management by developing the concept of network leadership and exploring the critical tasks a leader undertakes during the formative stages of building an NAO like the NQF.

Internal communication has an important role in an organization’s every action. It is affecting to the efficiency of processes as well as sense of community among the members of an organization. Even though internal communication as such is relatively much searched topic, developing internal communication and internal communication policy have been disregarded among scientific community. The objective of this research is to find out how to develop an internal communication policy when there are factors that are strongly affecting to that. The main theory is contingency theory which argues that there is no one universal way to organize an internal communication policy. There are some external and internal factors that affect to organizing such. In this research the growth is an external factor which has affected to the internal factor, the amount of tacit knowledge. The research is made for an IT company Aava Mobile Oy which needs development for three different internal communication channels: intranet, familiarization package and Common Coffee Break. The goal is to find the objectives of development for each channel. The research is a case study which is using qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and observation. The researcher was an active part of the working community which meant the observation was inclusive. The research philosophy is critical realism which means there is an objective reality but the knowledge is socially constructed. This research found out that growth has many impacts on the development of internal communication policy. The growth makes the organizational structure more complex than it was before which affects the flow of information and the amount of tacit knowledge. Internal communication can be measured in multiple ways, in this research the employee satisfaction was connected with the success of the internal communication policies. Employee satisfaction and the amount of tacit knowledge was also connected, less tacit knowledge within an organization equals more satisfaction among employees.

There are many reasons why smaller businesses should have an environmental management system, but also many difficulties, such as limitations in the time and resources available, and the size of the environmental impacts. How can a small business providing intellectual services make environmental improvements by creating and implementing an environmental management system (EMS)? This report is a case study on how to create an EMS. It was carried out with the management consultancy Radical Sports Management (RSM), a UK registered company based in Chamonix, France. Background studies on EMS, international standards of certifications of EMS, green procurement and carbon offsetting were carried out. With this background knowledge an EMS was developed in association with the company on site in Chamonix, France, and by correspondence. The environmental management system itself included An environmental policy A baseline assessment where the activities were divided into different areas, and their environmental aspects were scored from 1-5 on significance, potential and manageability to separate the more relevant aspects from the not so relevant. The process revealed that the most important environmental aspects were linked to production and handling of waste, transport and development of sports equipment. An investigation of the concerned legislation in France (which handles waste and chemicals) A research of how to decrease the environmental impact of relevant aspects An action plan where the chosen solutions to the environmental problems and the environmental targets were listed together with the methods to implement these and make them functional A monitoring document where the management can rate the progress of the different actions An auditing document to aid in the evaluation of the EMS Recommendations of how to make continuous improvements The following conclusions were made during this project: A small actor is dependent on its partners, suppliers, and other actors around it. It can make a difference by influencing its partners by providing information to open their eyes to existing possibilities and supporting them when they choose to take steps towards environmental solutions. The input from both management and employees is vital to have an organic EMS that evolves with the company. Establishing responsibilities at all levels of the enterprise is an effective method to reach a higher level of involvement, but it is also important that there is a feedback in the system, and lines of communications that are in function. The level of detail, the number and size of improvements to be made, the cost of the improvements and the documentation of the EMS must be kept at a level where it feels manageable to the company. Environmental Management Systems Tove Fritzell For a company such as RSM, that doesn’t have any large costs of material, energy and handling emissions and waste, the primary benefits of the EMS will be competitive advantage, attracting new customers and markets; and improved image towards public, regulators, investors and lenders, which make communication, marketing and advertising essential. Quantification of activities associated to environmental is important to perform a good baseline assessment, achieve better target formulations, monitoring and reviews of environmental performance.

Engineering companies frequently face product development challenges. Competitive pressures, industrial or societal innovations, and government regulations are some of the many factors that drive the need for new or better products. Companies respond to these drivers and changing needs by developing new products and employing product development processes (PDPs) to coherently manage the risks inherent in their development. Well-designed PDPs reduce development time, create better products, generate profit, and increase market share. In contrast, poorly-designed PDPs can severely harm both product lines and the companies that manufacture them. Many companies seek guidance in making important PDP design decisions. This thesis introduces PDPs as risk management frameworks. The research investigates the relationship between PDPs and risk management and seeks to help companies improve PDP design. It begins by discussing the drivers and risks of product development and then describes different PDPs. The traditional stage gate process is compared with the modified waterfall process, evolutionary prototyping, evolutionary delivery, design to schedule/budget process, the spiral process, and several other PDP variations. The research then proposes several iteration- and review-based metrics by which PDPs can be more effectively identified and compared. Ten company case studies exemplify a wide variety of actual PDPs, demonstrate the utility of iteration and review metrics in distinguishing PDPs, and illustrate how different processes manage different risks. Case study findings indicate that software development companies face rapidly-changing markets, generally perform quick integrations and tests, and are likely to employ flexible PDPs.
(cont.) In contrast, manufacturing companies that face greater integration difficulties and technical risks are likely to employ more rigid PDPs. Integration and risk are both instrumental in determining the applicability of different PDPs. The research employs case study lessons to propose a method for improved PDP design based on risk and integration. To demonstrate the method, it is applied to one company. The thesis concludes that PDPs vary more than previously documented; that the proposed metrics are useful in distinguishing PDPs, their different integrations, and their different risk management methods; and that companies facing different risks can more thoughtfully tailor their PDP designs to suit their own unique circumstances.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Local authorities, being at the coalface of government service delivery, have a statutory duty to deliver a wide range of services to their communities. Having limited resources themselves, and due to the poverty in their communities, municipalities aim to maximise the efficiency of their operations in order to be able to deliver appropriate quality services at the lowest possible cost. Municipalities are subject to a variety oflaws, regulations and policies which regulate the way in which they go about their business. In the context of supply chain management, the recently promulgated Municipal Finance Management Act and its associated Regulations and Guidelines is the most important of these. Supply chain management, defined by the MFMA to include procurement, disposal of assets and contract management, is an important issue in Lukhanji Municipality due to the amounts of money allocated to capital projects as well as to operations. Municipalities, as organs of State, are also required to implement policies which are aligned with other provincial and national polices and, in the context of supply chain management, which do not prejudice national economic policy. Municipalities, in addition to their service delivery role, have a mandate, conferred by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, to play a developmental role in their communities. They are required, in their procurement of goods and services, to apply preferential procurement processes in order to promote the use of: enterprises owned and managed by previously disadvantaged individuals; Small- Medium- and Micro-enterprises (SMMEs); local resources; and other marginalised individuals and groups. Municipalities are thus required to comply with statutory requirements and to strive for the achievement of social and economic objectives. The purpose of this study is to: describe all the current legislation, regulations and policies affecting municipal supply chain management; examine the conflicts arising from the different perspectives of the various statutory and policy requirements; describe the factors which constrain the municipality in its efforts to maximise the benefits arising from supply chain management activities; develop objectives for the supply chain management policy m terms of statutory compliance, social aspects and economic goals and which are not in conflict with each other; analyse the draft Supply Chain Management policy developed for Lukhanji Municipality to determine its efficacy in supporting the objectives developed; make recommendations regarding the final Supply Chain Management policy for Lukhanji; and propose further research arising out of the findings of this study. The main findings of the study are: some of the requirements of legislation and applicable policies are mutually exclusive and some compromises have to be made; the Supply Chain Management policy can be used as a tool to achieve socio-economic objectives while still complying with the statutory requirements; in particular, the Supply Chain Management policy can be used for the promotion of SMMEs, black economic empowerment, local economic development and job creation; a comprehensive set of socio-economic objectives and statutory requirements have been developed for Lukhanji Municipality's Supply Chain Management policy; the current high levels of provincial and national government spending on infrastructure development represent an opportunity for local economic development; the promotion of local SMMEs is an important element in increasing the multiplier effect, on the local economy, of the economic injection of the extensive infrastructure development currently in progress in the Lukhanji municipal area; the potential benefits are reduced by the capacity constraints and scarcity of resources within local government; and the draft policy prepared for Lukhanji will ensure compliance with the statutory requirements for supply chain management but needs to be amended to increase its efficacy in achieving Council's socio-economic objectives. The study highlighted several deficiencies in current knowledge especially in industries other than the construction industry. Research to test the hypothesis that the principles applicable to the construction industry can be applied to other industries is proposed. More research is also recommended to be done on establishing the link between spending on infrastructure and local economic benefits and how to maximise the benefits especially to increase local economic development, job creation and poverty.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Plaaslike owerhede staan op die voorpunt van die regenng se dienslewering aan die gemeenskap. Gekonfronteer deur hul eie gebrek aan hulpbronne, en die armoede van hul gemeenskappe word munisipaliteite genoodsaak om dienste van gepaste gehalte teen minimum koste te lewer deur om hul doeltreffendheid te maximiseer. Munisipaliteite is onderhewig aan 'n magdom wette, regulasies en beleide wat op hulle aktiwiteite van toepassing is. In die geval van voorsieningskettingbestuur is die Munisipale Finansiëlebestuurswet en gepaardgaande Regulasies en Riglyne die belangrikste wetstuk. Voorsieningsketting aktiwiteite, soos deur die Munisipale Finansiëlebestuurswet gedefineer om aankope, verkoop van bates en kontrakbestuur in te sluit, word as belangrik geag as gevolg van die hoeveelhede geld wat betrokke is. Die bedrae sluit in die allokasies aan kapitaalprojekte asook die lopende begroting. Munisipaliteite, in hul hoedanighede as Staatsinstansies, word verplig om alleenlik beleide wat provinsiale en nasionale beleid ondersteun toe te pas en, verder, om te verhoed dat hul beleide met nasionale ekonomiesebeleid teenstrydig is. Afgesien van hul diensleweringsrol word munisipaliteite, deur die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid Afrika, ook belas met die plig om hul gemeenskappe te ontwikkel. Deur middel van hul aankope van goedere en dienste word munisipaliteite gelas om voorkeur aan die volgende te gee: Besighede wat deur voorheen benadeelde individieë besit en bestuur word; Klein- Middelmatige- en Micro-sakeondernemings; Plaaslike hulpbronne; en ander benadeelde individieë en groepe. Opsommend, moet munisipaliteite aan alle wetgewing voldoen terwyl hulle ook streef om sosiale en ekonomiese doelwitte te bereik. Die doel van hierdie studie is om: al die huidige wetgewing, regulasies en beleid wat van toepassing is te beskryf; die konflikte voortspruitend uit die verskillende oogpunte van die wetgewing en beleidstukke te ondersoek; die faktore wat die munisipaliteit strem in sy strewe om sy doelwitte te bereik; die formulering van die doelwitte van sy voorsieningskettingbestuursbeleid ten opsigte van die wetlike vereistes asook die sosiale en ekonomiese doele wat nie teenstrydig met mekaar mag wees nie; die ontleding van Lukhanji se voorgestelde voorsieningskettingbestuursbeleid om sy doeltreffendheid ten opsigte van die ondersteuning van sy doelwitte te bepaal; die formuleering van voorstelle rakende die finale beleid; en verdere navorsing aan te beveel. Die belangrikste bevindinge is: van die wetgewing en beleide wat van toepassing is het uiteenlopende vereistes wat sekere kompromieë noodsaak; die Raad se voorsieningskettingbestuursbeleid kan gebruik word om sy sosiale en ekonomiese doelwitte te bereik sonder om enige wetgewing te oortree; in besonder, kan die beleid die gebruik van Klein- Middelmatige- en Mikrosakeondernemings, swart bemagtiging, plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling en werkskepping bevorder; 'n volledige stel doelwitte vir voorsienings ketting bestuur is geformuleer; die plaaslike ekonomie kan voordeel trek uit die omvattende infrastruktuur ontwikkeling wat huidiglik in Lukhanji deur provinsiale en sentrale regering befonds word; die betrokkenheid van Klein- Middelmatige- en Micro-sakeondernemings kan die positiewe effek, op die plaaslike ekonomie, van bogenoemde ekonomiese inspuiting vermenigvuldig; die omvang van die voordele word egter deur die gebreke aan menslike en finansiele hulpbronne beperk; en Lukhanji se voorgestelde beleid sal verseker dat die munisipaliteit aan die wetlike vereistes voldoen maar sal moet aangepas word om sy sosiale en ekonomiese doelwitte te bereik. Die studie het uitgewys dat sekere kennis van voorsieningskettingbestuur in gebreke bly, veral in nywerhede anders as die konstruksie bedryf. Navorsing om die hipotese, dat die beginsels van die konstruksie bedryf ook in ander nywerhede toegepas kan word, te toets word voorgestel. Verder navorsing om die verwantskap tussen besteding aan infrastruktuur en plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling beter te verstaan word ook aanbeveel. Die gebruik van staatsbesteding om plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling en werkskepping te bevorder om armoede te bekamp is van kardinale belang.

This study explores how governments use knowledge to inform telecommunications policy-making and policy-implementation in regional development. It focuses on epistemological aspects and assumptions made within the parameters of Enlightenment thinking or the Newtonian paradigm, also known as the classical scientit1c paradigm. It argues that lmowledge formed within this paradigm, usually generated at a distance, has been individ,uated, detached, segmented and abstracted. 'Individuation' focuses on individuals and things rather than communities and processes. 'Detachment' separates the subjective mind from the objective environment to produce reliable information. 'Segmentation' produces validity of information by parsing the objective environment from its social and historical context. 'Abstraction' allows objectivity and systematisation of information. When used to inform policy, such knowledge creates a narrow 'standardising gaze' that 'disciplines' communities to conform to dominant social behaviour and beliefs. Case studies are used to demonstrate that the two major models of development, as products ofthis paradigm, employ this gaze rendering replicability difficult ifnot impossible. These models are the top-down and bottom-up approach that are epitomised by the Silicon Valley model and telecentre moveluent respectively. How this gaze inhibits/facilitates development in policy implementation is then examined in the Goldfields Esperance region in Western Australia. An holistic approach using cotnplex adaptive systems is used to understand the multidisciplinary aspects involved in development. This is combined with action research, a reflexive methodology. Action research has the ability to access local knowledge to provide data and evaluation in situ rather than on a post hoc basis. The findings demonstrate that complex systems analysis and action research provide a modus operandi that: a) recognises the interplay of various factors (such as power relations, economic cycle, social and political institutions) at different levels of the system; b) recognises time, context and path-dependence of regional development; c) provides a filter that minimises the 'standardising gaze' and d) gives an access to knowledge and insight to local issues, which can facilitate policy implementation of development that is sympathetic to regional communities.

In Central America, two conflicting narratives are used to describe the relationship between forest cover and water availability, with implications for management of water resources throughout the region. Many resource managers believe forests increase dry season water availability, but scientific consensus refutes this perspective. This study analyzes the narratives explaining the relationship between forest cover and dry season water yields in Central America and how they influence resource management. In a case study of the Sasle catchment in Nicaragua, I use a combination of satellite imagery analysis and SWAT hydrologic modeling to investigate land use change over the past 25 years and the potential impact of these changes on the hydrology of the catchment. False perceptions of the role of land cover in hydrology are influencing management practices in sensitive headwater catchments and creating unintended results. A broader perspective on the socio-political and scientific context of these narratives is needed.

Namibia has been praised for having rigorous policy frameworks that address various national development challenges. Over the years, the country has introduced various policy initiatives to address the housing challenge in the country. However, implementation of such policies and programmes faced various challenges resulting in suboptimal outcomes and consequently, a situation where such programmes are abandoned, and new ones are introduced with little learning from past experiences. This paper, analysed the role of governance on effective programme management using a case study of Namibia’s Mass Housing Development Programme. The findings highlight governance challenges, as one of the key contributing factors to failing programmes. A qualitative approach was employed in gathering data using face to face in-depth interviews with the informants who represented the target population in the study. The paper contributes to the body of knowledge on the importance of governance which public policy and programme makers can draw lessons from for effective programme implementation.

This investigation, conducted under the auspices of the Lean Aerospace Initiative (LAI), studied how engineers from different specialties interpret and communicate about technical design problems while working on product development teams. Data was collected on 98 cases via interviews with engineers at LAI member companies. For approximately one-third of the cases, two engineers with different backgrounds were interviewed, allowing comparisons to be made between their descriptions of the problems under study. For the remaining cases, one interview was conducted per case. The most important finding of this study was that engineers from different specialties do interpret the same problem differently. Specifically, two engineers were likely to evaluate the benefits or drawbacks of a potential solution using different sets of criteria. Thus, some design disputes were the result not of mutually exclusive needs but of a failure to recognize the different ways in which engineers were evaluating solutions to the problem. Furthermore, data collected during this study illustrated that in some cases these differences were the result of engineers addressing related, but unique problems. Therefore, a solution to one engineer's problem often created a new problem for another engineer on the team.
(cont.) A second conclusion of this study was that how design tools were used had a greater impact on a team's problem solving abilities than what tool was used. In this context, design tools included objects such as real or "virtual" prototypes as well as processes like simulations and tests. The results of this investigation suggested that such tools offered their greatest benefits when they were used in a participatory fashion in which a large fraction of a team shared in their use. Additionally, the more elements of a problem's context that were captured in a design tool, the greater its utility. Under such conditions, team members were able to create a shared evaluation system to judge potential solutions to the problem they were confronting, thereby facilitating problem resolution. Based on these results, the traditional model of engineering communication derived from the information processing framework requires modification. The information processing model assumes that individuals have a shared understanding of meaning when they communicate. This study, however, suggests that such shared understandings do not exist in advance, but are instead ...

In Washington, DC, historical data are used to adequately size for rainfall events, and efforts to increase stormwater management requirements are fought against by internal stakeholders. In urban planning, extreme rainfall events, that may occur more frequently than expected, are often not a consideration when designing for green infrastructure facilities. The purpose of this case study was to explore how internal and external stakeholders influence stormwater management policies related to extreme rainfall events in Washington, DC. The power and politics organization theory, which focuses on how individuals obtain influence, and the resource dependency theory, which explores how organizations benefit from sustainability, were used as the theoretical framework in this study. The case study analysis was conducted via phone interviews; through phone interviews, data were collected from 4 policymakers (i.e., external stakeholders), 5 real estate developers (i.e., internal stakeholders) and 3 internal team members (i.e., internal stakeholders) and analyzed thematically. All the stakeholders believed that it is not necessary to design the green infrastructure systems to the extreme rainfall event; however, the developers said that they would design their green infrastructure systems larger if required by policy. The results of the study showed that each group's effect works in a cyclic fashion to each other. Recommendations for future studies include to expand and increase stakeholder participation. This collaboration and better communication can help in developing more efficient stormwater management policies for a better city, which is an implication for positive social change.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Master of Arts in the Department of Social Work in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2013.
The study investigates the implementation process of the Employee performance management development systems policy within the Department of Social Development, attitude of staff and policy makers towards whether or not it is achieving its goals, the strengths and constraints in its implementation as a way to improve it. This study is conducted with an aim of coming up with solution to the problem or to identify drawbacks and establish if the policy is implemented correctly with the required tools for the purpose of improving service delivery. Since the EPMDS aims at organizational development and efficiency, this study will investigate if social workers are delivering their services to their best and to find out it is the right tool in the grooming and career pathing of social workers. The study reveals that there has been some dissatisfaction the way in which retention strategy was implemented, thus roll out campaigns are highly recommended for the provision of clarity provision of information on how it was implemented by the implementers. It explores the processes involved in implementation of Employee Performance Management Systems (EPMDS) it also identify what tools are used in the identification of other support mechanism and implementation of EPMDS mechanism. It establishes challenges that exist in the implementation and gain from participants possible recommendations for successful implementation of EPMDS. The study also establishes if there is integration of EPMDS with Integrated Service Delivery model (ISDM) and Situational Leadership Supervision Model (SLS), and focuses in the investigation of how Retention Strategy was implemented. The researcher utilizes evaluative research because the study aims at evaluating how EPMDS policy has been implemented within the Department of Social Development .Evaluation research, frequently referred to as program evaluation or practice evaluation, involves searching for practical knowledge in considering the implementation and effects of social policies and the impact of programs.

This dissertation examines the internationalisation of production and its implications for the role of government in South Africa's industrial development. The research has two specific areas of focus. The first is a case study of government policy formulation and implementation in the instance of competition policy. The second is a study of firms in the plastics sector. Through an analysis of secondary data on the performance of manufacturing sub-sectors it is demonstrated that the expectations of the policy of trade liberalisation have not been realised in South Africa, nor are the outcomes consistent with the orthodox trade theory underpinning the policy framework. Understanding government policy formulation and its influence on economic outcomes requires a deeper analysis of the nature and extent of the internationalisation of production. Close examination of the formulation and implementation of competition policy reveals the influence of large established business in setting the terms of the debate and the way in which internationalisation affects the relative strengths of interests. The study utilised case-study interviews and participatory observation to collect information on the formal and informal policy processes, the negotiation of the policy agenda, decisionmaking within this agenda, and establishment and operation of the institutions responsible for implementation of the new legislation. A survey of plastics firms complemented by in-depth interviews of selected firms enabled an analysis of the importance of the internationalisation of production for the sector. This revealed the importance of relationships beyond those involving either trade or ownership. The survey focused in particular on the factors underlying production changes, and the relationship between domestic competition and international competitiveness. The combination of methodologies and research areas allowed the central research question to be approached from different sides, integrating understandings of firm behaviour and government policy in an approach embodying a dynamic interpretation of internationalisation.

Because of the country's well-established socio-economic status, citizens from many neighbouring countries, such as Zimbabwe, have resorted to seeking refuge in South Africa. Different refugee organizations, such as Adonis Musati Project (AMP) emerged in order to meet refugee needs in Cape Town. AMP was formed in 2007 with the aim of providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. Named after a Zimbabwean, Adonis Musati, who died of starvation in a queue at the Department of Home Affairs, trying to access legal documentation, AMP set out to ensure that this would never happen again. The aim of this research is to explore whether the organisation is meeting its intended goal; whether it abides by any policies; what impact it has on its stakeholders; which current life stage it is facing and challenges dealt with during this period; and what effectiveness approach it uses, if any, in order to achieve sustainable growth and remain relevant in its community.

The effects of economic and political transition dominated Thailand’s economy since the 1990s; with the great change from economic and trade victory to widespread financial slump, the political crossroads in 1992 and the reform of political democracy, Thailand drew up a preliminary version of a new constitution and pledged significant political and economic improvement. In the context of the reconstitution of the Thai telecommunications policy from the beginning of 1990 to the end of 2001, this study presents the progress of restructuring Thai telecommunications industry and examines key forces determining the policy-making process of its Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In order to investigate the role of manifold policy factors and the role of the Thai State in ICT policy formulation, the study applies political model of policy process and is based on the conceptual framework of J. P. Singh (1999)’s factors in determining the nature of the telecommunications restructuring in developing country and the State’s role in the decision-making process. While the primary impelling force for restructuring was Thailand’s ambition to become the economic centre of Southeast Asia, a vast number of secondary forces are discovered to have been involved in the restructuring of telecommunications industry and evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) policy. Economic cooperation and a global liberalisation programme enforced by the WTO and the IMF have had an explicit effect on Thailand’s policymaking. Internally, in the collocation of the advanced development of parliamentary democracy and intensifying money politics, business interests became steadily stronger in ICT policymaking through the more direct political manipulation of the situation to gain some advantage at the top levels. There was also a growing impact from public interest groups and the Senate. The diversity of interests in the policy process limited the power of the State to direct policy decisions. In a system in which policy-making was plagued by political infighting among groups seeking to control the social system and the activities from which they derived private benefit, the policy-making function of the State was seriously impaired and the progress of Thai telecommunications reform and its ICT policy underwent a major crisis in consequence. The thesis seeks to answer: how the ICTs policymaking developed during the telecommunications industry reform, and the interplays among the policy forces; and what role the State played in the policy-making process. It argues that the Thai State’s weakness to create a regulatory regime to implement the ICTs policy of telecommunication liberalisation represents essentially a problem of institutional change. The thesis demonstrates that the State role in policymaking was phenomenon, and even facilitated particular group’s interest and idea, and that it was ill-suited implementation for society at large.

Nonprofit organisations (NPOs) play an important role in society as they help government in service delivery. In their quest to deliver services, these organisations face insurmountable challenges, including, but not exclusive to inadequate funding and staff shortages. Yet in spite of this, some of these organisations have overcome these challenges, and continued to provide services to communities. This study sought to explore the perceptions of the staff working in development NPOs regarding the reasons they thought their organisations were able to deliver effective services to their beneficiaries. A qualitative research design was adopted as it focuses on the subjective realities of the respondents. A purposive sample of nineteen respondents from four different organisations was drawn up. The criterion for selection was: organisations that had been in existence since 1994; had at least eight staff members; and a Director who had been in charge for at least five years.

This thesis hypothesized that extensive telecommunications liberalization would not increase the penetration rate of the fixed telephone service better than other, less competition-oriented, policy alternatives. The hypothesis was validated in the case of Thailand and the Philippines. However, for the cellular mobile telephone and Internet services, extensive telecommunications liberalization could increase the penetration rates better than other, less competition-oriented, policy alternatives. Thus, the thesis demonstrates that past research has not paid sufficient attention to this issue and has assumed that the more extensive reform could lead to the faster and the better telecommunications development of all telecommunication services. The thesis suggested that less-developed countries (LDCs) should realize that they do not have to fully implement liberalization reforms, but should instead specifically tailor their telecommunications reform policies to their own pace and needs. This study found that extensive liberalization reforms or extensive opening of the market does not necessarily increase penetration rates of services better than other less competition-oriented policy alternatives under the following conditions: Assuming that the services have not yet reached their saturation levels based on the S-curve,
(cont.) 1. Users perceive the service as a necessity; and 2. the government perceives the service as a basic necessity; and 3. the government strictly commits and implements purposeful policies with the intention of increasing penetration rates of the services through the distribution of service provision authority. Or, 4. If the liberalization is implemented after the saturation level of the service is reached. The thesis results have the policy implication that liberalization can be a useful and effective alternative to lead to higher penetration rates, when and only if, the country and its people understand its goals, effects and implications and, more importantly, when the government provides the policy framework for universal service for the benefits of its people so that the liberalization can lead to self-sustainable development.

Certificate Authorities (CAs) carry a huge responsibility in today's internet security landscape as they issue certificates that establish secure end-to-end connections. This thesis conducts a policy review and survey of CAs' Certificate Policies and Certificate Practice Statements to find similarities and differences that could lead to possible vulnerabilities. Based on this, the thesis then presents a taxonomy-based analysis as well as comparisons of the top CAs to the Baseline Requirements. The main areas of the policies that were focused on are the issuance, revocation and expiration practices of the top 30 CAs as determined by the use of Tranco's list. We also determine the top CA groups, meaning the CAs whose policies are being used by the most other CAs as well as including a top 100 CAs list. The study suggests that the most popular CAs hold such a position because of two main reasons: they are easy to acquire and/or because they are connected to several other CAs. The results suggest that some of the biggest vulnerabilities in the policies are what the CAs do not mention in any section as it puts the CA at risk for vulnerabilities. The results also suggest that the most dangerous attacks are social engineering attacks, as some of the stipulations for issuance and revocations make it possible to pretend to be the entity of subscribes to the certificate rather than a malicious one.

Includes bibliographical references.
In the future, it is unlikely that complex system products will compete solely on the basis of technical performance. What will differentiate such systems and their developers is the ability to balance all the dimensions of product performance, including product pricing and timing (which are functions inclusive of development cost and cycle time). Furthermore, this balance must be congruent with customers' perceptions of value. Once this value is ascertained or approximated, complex system developers will require the capability to adjust the design process to meet these expectations. The required amount and sophistication of project planning, control, information, and flexibility is unprecedented. The primary goal of this work is a method to help managers integrate process and design information in a way that supports making decisions that yield products congruent with customer desires and strategic business goals. This work consists of three parts. Part one contains two exploratory studies that further understanding of complex system product development processes. One study explores process iteration and seeks to explain why some aircraft development programs do not address iteration with existing project planning and control methods. The other study examines sources of risk, classifying these into six categories (cost, schedule, performance, technology, business, and market risks) and building causal frameworks to represent their relationships. Both studies point to avenues for improving existing process '·models and in some cases reveal process characteristics requiring new methods. These results, while derived from projects in the aerospace industry, are highly applicable across a variety of complex system development projects. Part two entails an effort to model some of the characteristics observed in part one. After a review of four types of dependency structure matrices (DSMs), notably the activity-based or schedule DSM, extensive data are collected from an uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) design process. Part two thus describes how to build a DSM model and provides data for example applications of the detailed models developed in part three. Based on the foundational work of parts one and two, part three develops a new methodology and models for understanding product development process cost, schedule, and performance. The methodology complements activity-centric schedule models such as DSM in that activities provide direct contributions to process cost and schedule and design performance. This approach sets the stage for integrated cost, schedule, and performance analyses. A cost and schedule model is presented first, and it is extended to account for the effects of activities on product performance. The stochastic, simulation model generates distributions of possible cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. These distributions represent uncertainty and are analyzed in relation to impact functions and targets to determine levels of risk. The model outputs enable the exploration of the costs and benefits of several management options and yield interesting insights. The goal is to improve product development planning and control though the capability to balance cost, schedule, and performance appropriately.

According to The Joint Commission (TJC), 98 unexpected and unacceptable events related to alarm fatigue were reported in United States hospitals between January 2009 and June 2012. There were 80 deaths, 13 permanent loss of function, and 5 extended care stays that occurred during this time period. The problem identified in this quality improvement (QI) initiative was the TJC report that nursing staff in the US was experiencing alarm fatigue due to the overstimulation of senses from continuous beeping from alarms on the unit. Framed within the Iowa model of evidence-based practice to promote quality care, the purpose of the project was to develop a patient care alarm fatigue initiative as mandated by TJC including a policy and procedure for managing alarm fatigue, a curriculum plan for educating the nursing staff on alarm fatigue, and a survey on nurse attitudes toward alarm fatigue to be administered at the beginning of the education. The developed policy and procedure was approved by the committee with the recommendation to revise the policy to involve all ancillary staff in direct contact with clinical alarms. The curriculum objectives were evaluated by 2 content experts using a 4 item met/not met response format. Findings showed that all objectives were met. The content of the nurse survey was reviewed by the experts using a 3 item Likert scale and all the items were deemed relevant. Finally, team members (n = 9) completed a summative evaluation of the project using an 8 item, 5-option Likert scale. All were in agreement that the project met its intent. The implementation of this project after graduation has the potential to bring about social change by increasing patient safety, patient well being and reducing healthcare costs.

This thesis explores rural development strategy in Mexico within the context of infrastructure development. It finds that although the tenants of decentralization and neoliberalism on which the strategy is based are conducive to gains in productivity, equity, and environmental sustainability in rural Mexico, the current government apparatus creates a number of market failures which limit the beneficial potential of the development strategy. Lessons learned from the Mexican experience should be applied in other contexts for development strategies.

This thesis is an analysis and a comparative study of current trends in Waste Management in the UK and Malaysia. The focus is on identifying the policy and strategy framework of Sustainable Waste Management as adopted in the UK and its application for future waste planning and management in Malaysia. The research on the UK waste management practices was done through analyses of official waste policy documents from 35 English counties. Analyses of the 615 policy statements revealed 52 issues and repetitions of terms or terminologies which were labelled in the analyses as 'variables'. These variables were grouped into five categories which were further analysed by; category, county and source of documents. It was discovered that solid waste management in the UK is well institutional ised and legislated. The UK legislative framework provides policy makers with accessible information so as to identify the objectives and to construct necessary measures for sustainable waste management policies. It also established, that the waste management industry needs active participation both from the public and private sectors A case study on Malaysian waste management indicated a total contrast with those discovered in the UK studies. The present Malaysian waste management systems have to be improved with the introduction of specific legislation on waste and the formation of the correct institutions to overlook the Country's waste activities. The research enabled the author to produce a concise set of recommendations for the improved handling of waste in Malaysia.

This study explores the perceptions, experiences and challenges that Early Childhood Development (ECD) practitioners in ECD centres in Blouberg have with implementing the norms and standards for both partial care facilities and learning programmes as regulated by the Children’s Amendment Act 41 of 2007. ECD refers to the developmental, physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and social processes in children from birth until at least nine years of age (Department of Education [DOE], 2001). Since ECD centres are at the frontline of providing a range of ECD services paramount to the development of children, the way in which ECD practitioners understand, experience and operate under the influence of legislation and policies needs to be researched to improve service delivery and develop effective models of practice. The study targeted ECD centres in the Blouberg region of the Western Cape where 20 ECD practitioners belonging to 18 ECD centres were interviewed. An exploratory qualitative research design and a non-probability sampling approach making use of both purposive and snowball sampling techniques, were used to select the participants. The main findings emanating from the study were that: most ECD practitioners perceived that the norms and standards for ECD facilities promote the safety and protection of their service recipients; the implementation of norms and standards, however, were not effectively monitored; they were extremely costly to implement; practitioners did not have sufficient time in the day to implement them; that adhering to norms and standards for ECD learning programmes enhanced the development of the child and cultivated diversity; continuous changes in the curriculum posed various challenges to how effective learning programmes were monitored; norms and standards for learning programmes did not adequately account for children with disabilities; factors such as the long and difficult registration and re-registration processes, as well as the local economy and external financial environment made implementing norms and standards challenging; ECD practitioners in smaller, privately run centres experienced a lack of support from government; and that ECD practitioners were supported by various structures such as the Blouberg ECD Forum, the Department of Health, the Fire and Rescue Services as well as the local community that consisted of parents, businesses and professionals. The main recommendations emanating from the study include: providing tax incentives to private sectors supporting ECD centres; increasing the capacity, responsibility and authority of local ECD Forums; improving the Department of Social Development’s (DSD) reporting and investigating processes by partnering with the Department of Health (DOH), extending the current national school feeding scheme to include ECD centres; providing a once off registration/re-registration grant to NPO’s and smaller privately run ECD centres based on a means test; increasing support and introducing an increased grant to ECD centres catering for children with disabilities; promoting partnerships with professionals in the private sector to promote disability screening campaigns and education; to provide ECD centres with specific curricula so that they are able to cater for children with disabilities; rewarding positive parent-practitioner partnerships; and promoting parent involvement practices from a policy and legislation point of view. Recommendations relating to the research process specifically include expanding on the sample of participants to include privately run ECD centres as well as NPO’s.

Irrespective of the regional setting, displacement of all kinds results in considerable disruption and loss of assets for both the individual and the collective, with greater likelihood of socio-economic impoverishment and reduced access to rights entitlements. Although there is evidence that displaced people face additional challenges of life in a new environment, living day to day with uncertainties around their survival, the larger proportion of these studies are concerned with physical resettlement and the livelihood restoral of people displaced as a result of conflict or large development projects (whether as refugees or internally displaced people (IDP). There has been relatively little critical reflection on how the policy framework can deliver the rights and entitlements of forced migrants, including those who should be obliged to protect them and the relevance of individual agency . This paper critically engages with current internal displacement protection policies that are based on risk management or short-term relief measures. It considers how a policy paradigm of social protection might offer a framework to minimize the loss of rights so often associated with displacement.

This dissertation addresses the issue of performance standards in developing nations, focusing on the role of local content requirements. It proposes a theoretical framework to understand the impact of this policy on the decisions of firms and the welfare of the domestic economy, and offers a methodology to apply the analysis to the context of the automotive supply chain. The central conclusion of the thesis relates to the existence of a gap between private and social opportunity returns and costs, an aspect that has been overlooked by previous literature. In a developing country, resources employed by foreign investors and their local suppliers often generate spillovers and learning effects that are not accounted for in the valuations of private economic agents. This creates an externality-from-entry, whereby positive economic effects of new domestic suppliers are overlooked in the sourcing decision of the foreign firm. This dissertation proposes a model to illustrate how this gap between social and private valuations justifies the enactment of domestic content requirements, which become welfare enhancing. The analysis also reveals that content requirements are a preferable policy to tariffs and subsidies as a means to increase domestic purchases and discusses the use of subsidies and requirements as incentive mechanisms to align firm decisions with government objectives. A case study of the automotive industry, where content restriction policies are extremely active, is used to demonstrate the applicability of the model. This entailed the development of a new methodology, called Systems Cost Modeling (SCM), which uses simple metrics and rules to build bottom-up cost structures where estimates for large number of components have to be considered. Detailed empirical data from a particular car is then used to build a sourcing cost structure.
(cont.) These costs are integrated with the domestic content model to show how, for existing market and policy conditions; there can be value to the enactment of modest levels of domestic content requirements in the auto industry. It also explains that the impact of the policy is very sensitive to project characteristics and that this should be factored into national decisions.

The aim of my PhD work is to study how heritage and archaeological knowledge can be applied in practice to meet the aims of Agenda 2030, in particular goal no.11 Sustainable cities and communities. This licentiate thesis serves to provide a foundation for this research. Here, I investigate how Swedish contract archaeology can contribute to sustainable development. First, I analyse how government policy and regulations convey the relation between sustainable development and contract archaeology in practice, and examine how professionals within the contract archaeological system see that they can work with sustainability issues in practice. The results show that there is a gap between policy and practice which is mainly connected to the understanding of sustainable development as a concept and not a practice. This may potentially limit Swedish contract archaeology´s ability to play an active role in sustainability practice. In a case study, I research a modern urban planning project in Kalmar, Valnötsträdet, where contract archaeology played a decisive role in the planning process. By analysing the project process from a sustainability perspective and interviewing participants, I come to the conclusion that contract archaeology´s significant role in the project was due to the ability of individual persons to see the value of using a holistic working method and archaeological knowledge to strengthen the planning process. However, the results also show that archaeology and archaeological heritage have an inherent attraction that can cause imbalances between values in a manner that potentially affects sustainable urban development if not taken into account and managed throughout the process. Although research has established that heritage and archaeology has an important role to play in the achievement of environmental, economic and social sustainability, there are still few practical examples of this. The results of this licentiate thesis point to the fact that the sector still needs to develop an understanding of sustainability as a practice in order for this to change.

This study was undertaken to find out how the SME sector in Nigeria has developed over time and to what extent it has performed its critical role of driving the country’s industrial transformation and development as it has done in other developed countries. This study has explained in detail, the development of SMEs in Nigeria and identified the economic potential of SMEs, their major problems, challenges and constraints, which have hindered them from playing the vital role in the Nigerian economic growth and development as well as made appropriate recommendations for redressing, reducing and/or eliminating them so that they could occupy their pride of place in the Nigerian economy. It also considered the various programmes implemented by various governments, to support and promote SMEs’ growth and development as well as the roles played by the government and the financial institutions towards promoting the development and growth of SMEs in Nigeria. The study employed primary date via questionnaires which were administered to the sampled financial institutions and SMEs’ operators, and the emanating data was analysed using simple percentages, charts and mean ranking. The Chi-square analytical technique was employed and the empirical analysis indicates that there has not been any significant contribution of government support towards developing SMEs, and also that there is a relationship between the sizes of SMEs and their modes of financing. The study determined, among others, that with the exclusion of lack of finance, the major constraints or challenges of SMEs ranked in descending order are inadequate managerial/board expertise, poor infrastructural facilities, inconsistencies in government policies, lack of financial records, multiple taxes and levies, etc. It also determined that lack of finance is a function of multiple problems and that the major sources of credit available for the financing SMEs in Nigeria are personal savings, family/friend support and commercial banks. The study recommended, among others, SME partnership and equity participation by financiers, loan guarantees, interest rate concession, fiscal incentives, and adequate training for SMEs as the factors that will drive the rapid transformations and development of the SME sector in Nigeria.

This research demonstrates that sustainable development is a multidimensional concept that should be approached in a transdisciplinary manner. Its objective has been to synthesize and integrate disparate and currently unconnected lines of thought that have not yet been applied in a systematic way to promote sustainable development and sustainable transportation. The primary contribution of this research is the theoretical development of a decision-support framework that identifies the tools and approaches that decision-makers could/should use to create policies and programs that transition society towards sustainability. These tools and approaches are either articulated or developed by the author throughout the dissertation. Specific ideas explored include a Rawlsian/utilitarian decision-making philosophy; a hybrid trade-off/positional analysis framework that is presented as an alternative to benefit-cost analysis; ecological vs. environmental economics; participatory backcasting; and ways to stimulate disrupting and/or radical technological innovation. To identify gaps that exist between theory and practice, the approach embodied in the proposed sustainable transportation decision-support framework is compared with current metropolitan transportation planning and decision-making processes in the U.S. The framework is then used to consider how the U.S. federal government might move the nation's transportation system towards sustainability.

This thesis documents the development of a Behaviour Management Policy in a primary school. Its broader scope explores the concept of renewal; a school community engaging in an activity of school improvement which reflects the needs and wants of that community and is geared towards satisfying the global needs and requirements of that community. As such renewal concerns itself with the possibility of change in the perceptions and attitudes of the various stakeholders in a school community. The policy making exercise was generated by a committee equally representative of staff and parents and this research explores whether it is possible for a renewal process such as this to be 'owned' by the whole school community. This study was informed by the literature relating to Behaviour Management. Renewal involves an openness to change. Hence the literature on change was explored and revealed that effective change takes place in a collaborative culture which creates a climate conducive to change. Renewal encompasses a broader perspective than change, being a holistic process managed in a planned and systematic manner. The literature suggests that if renewal is to be an authentic expression of action based on choices made in a reflective environment, the culture of the school needs to be collaborative, the community relational and the leadership service centred. A relational community and a collaborative culture can only find expression in its fullest sense if it is enriched by parental involvement which approaches partnership in reality not just in rhetoric. The literature indicates that parent participation can in fact approach the ideal of partnership and empower parents to work effectively in the policy making process with equal status to that of staff members on the committee. Consequently, the following emerged as the major research question. - What are the appropriate processes a Catholic school uses when engaging in renewal? Because the study focussed on a renewal project generated by a committee equally representative of staff and parents, the research question needed to be informed by two sub questions. - What structures and processes enable a representative sub group of staff and parents to generate a renewal project and be legitimised in their action by the school community? - Is it possible for staff and parents in such a sub group to be equal partners as leaders in a renewal process? A case study approach was considered appropriate to report on the global perspectives of a renewal project and thus address these research questions. The procedure utilised for policy deliberation was one of Action Research, more specifically aligned to the process of reflective deliberation as proposed by Bonser and Grundy (1988). The research concluded that : Bonser and Grundy's {1988) process of reflective deliberation was a suitable vehicle for a representative sub group generating a process of renewal if the community orientation of the school, its culture, the collaborative processes in operation and the leadership in the school are conducive to renewal. It also found that a representative committee of staff and parents can generate a renewal project and be legitimised in this action by the school community if that community values renewal and if collaborative structures are in place which inspire confidence in that committee. Parental participation in the leadership of renewal can be a reality if parental involvement is an integral component of the school community's culture. The process of reflective deliberation is pertinent to the needs of empowerment of teachers and parents on a committee leading a renewal process to equal partnership.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has a huge challenge to improve its world competitiveness status in order to ensure a better economic life for all. One of the more practical strategic approaches is investment in human capital and more specific people development. A more specific strategy might be to ensure that each and every supervisor is an effective counsellor/coach/mentor. From the research done its seems that this is not the case - probably due to the fact that these tools are not utilised or not well integrated in the larger human resource development strategy. It is quite clear that counsellors, coaches and mentors can and should utilise the different motivational and learning theories coherently in accordance with the applicability of the situation and the specific preferences of the individual protégé. This will ensure maximum efficiency of education, training and development interventions. But human resource systems do not seem to be integrated to the extent that the proverbial golden thread can be followed from work design to the termination of an employee. From the literature it is clear that all the necessary functions in human resources can be included in an integrative system to allow optimum efficient employees. The vagueness however (supported by the absence of work design and management information systems in some models) just aggravates the current researcher's concern about clear, exact guidelines to ensure proper counselling, coaching and mentoring. The human resource system and the function human resource development as well as performance management definitely allow for counselling, coaching and mentoring, but the support and reinforcement is not obvious. From literature surveys it is clear that that counselling, coaching and mentoring can be utilised effectively in human resource development. Insufficient evidence is however available to show appropriate application of these tools. It is thus clear that counsellors/coaches/mentors and protégés in South Africa do not have a complete, practical and integrated human resource system and programme that can facilitate maximum growth of the protégés. This is proven by the quiet period since the middle eighties till the middle nineties; where - after affirmative action and later the skills development act and employment equity act forced employers to relook their development programmes as well as our poor performance in supplying the number of managers needed for global competitiveness. Due to the lack of empirical research, but from published material one can derive that: Counsellors/coaches/mentors and or protégés in South Africa are not aware what competencies each should possess; culturally diverse groups hamper growing relationships in particular with coaches and protégés and that principles and guidelines governing the coach/mentor/protégé relationship seems not to be researched and shared in South Africa. More - over, inadequate processes exist to link and integrate counselling/coaching/mentoring closely with competencies, people development and human resource processes. However there are sufficient guidelines in overseas publications to ensure that one can compile well integrated coaching/mentoring programmes that will ensure that counselling, coaching and mentoring gain its legitimate place in people development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika staan voor 'n geweldige uitdaging om sy mededingendheidsmag te versterk ten einde beter ekonomiese vooruitsigte aan sy burgers te skep. Een van die mees praktiese strategieë is belegging in menslike kapitaal, meer spesifiek deur die ontwikkeling van sy menslike hulpbronne. 'n Meer spesifieke strategie mag wees om sorg te dra dat elke toesighouer 'n effektiewe voorligter/afrigter/mentor is. Vanuit die skrywer se navorsing blyk dit nie die geval te wees nie, moontlik as gevolg van die feit dat hierdie toerusting nie deel is van die omvattende menslike hulpbron ontwikkelings strategieë nie. Dit is duidelik dat voorligters/afrigters/mentors die beskikbare motiverings- en leer teorieë geintegreerd, in samehang met die geskiktheid van die situasie en die spesifieke vooroordele van die individuele leerder moet aanwend ten einde maksimum effektiwiteit vanuit opvoedings-, opleidings- en ontwikkelings intervensies te verkry. Maar menslike hulpbron sisteme blyk minder geïntegreerd te wees. Die navorser kon nie die spreekwoordelike goue draad opspoor en volg vanaf werksontwerp tot en met diensverlating nie. Vanuit die literatuur is dit duidelik dat al die noodsaaklike funksies in menslike hulpbronbestuur in geïntegreerde sisteme ingesluit kan word ten einde meer effektiewe werknemers te hê. Die vaagheid van hierdie integrasie (soos gesien in die afwesigheid van byvoorbeeld werksontwerp en bestuurs-informasie in sommige modelle) vererger die huidige navorser se bekommernis rakende duidelike, definitiewe riglyne om kwaliteit voorligting, afrigting en mentorskap te voorsien. Voorligting, afrigting en mentorskap het definitief 'n plek in die menslike hulpbronsisteme en menslike hulpbronontwikkeling en veral prestasiebestuur, maar die ondersteuning en versterking is nie ooglopend nie. Dit is ook duidelik uit die literatuur dat voorligting, afrigting en mentorskap effektief aangewend kan word in menslike hulpbronontwikkeling, maar nie genoegsame bewyse is beskikbaar om die toepaslike gebruik van die hulpmiddele aan te dui nie. Dit is dus duidelik dat voorligters, afrigters, mentors en leerders in Suid Afrika nie volledige, praktiese geïntegreerde menslike hulpbronsisteme en programme het om maksimale ontwikkeling van die leerder te bewerkstellig nie. Dit word bewys deur die min gepubliseerde materiaal - vanaf die middel tagtigs tot die middel negentigs, waarna regstellende aksie, die vaardigheidsontwikkelings- en werknemergelykheids - wetgewing, werkgewers geforseer het om hernude ywer ten opsigte van ontwikkelingsprogramme te toon. Verder ook deur die land se swak vertonings ten opsigte van die voorsiening van genoegsame kwaliteit bestuurders nodig vir globale mededinging. Weens die gebrek van empiriese navorsing, maar uit gepubliseerde material, kan die navorser aflei dat: Voorligters, afrigters, mentors en leerders in Suid-Afrika nie besef oor watter vaardighede hul behoort te beskik nie; verskille in kulturele groepe die ontwikkeling belemmer van goeie verhoudinge spesifiek tussen afrigters en leerders en dat beginsels en riglyne wat die verhoudinge tussen voorligters, afrigters, mentors en leerders rig nie nagevors en versprei word in Suid-Afrika nie. Verder is daar onvoldoende prosesse om voorligting, afrigting en mentorskap duidelik met vaardighede, menslike hulpbronontwikkeling en menslikehulpbron prosesse te verbind en te integreer. Daar is egter genoegsame riglyne in oorsese publikasies om te verseker dat goed geïntegreerde voorligting-, afrigting- en mentorskapsprogramme opgestel kan word wat sal verseker dat voorligting, afrigting en mentorskap hul regmatige plek inneem in menslike hulpbronontwikkeling.

Dans de nombreux pays européens, l’institution judiciaire a connu de profondes transformations ces vingt dernières années - notamment, sous l’impulsion d’une logique gestionnaire, qui se caractérise par l’attention aux enjeux d’efficacité, d’efficience et de coûts, au-delà des préoccupations en termes de qualité. La recherche vise à analyser les diverses institutions européennes impliquées dans ce processus de circulation d’une approche managériale dans les systèmes judiciaires nationaux, ainsi qu’à étudier les dynamiques de circulation d’acteurs, d’instruments d’action publique et d’injonctions au changement entre les différents échelons. Pour ce faire, une analyse prosopographique relative aux ressources, carrières, moyens d’action, stratégies et réseaux des divers entrepreneurs de changement au niveau européen sera développée, à partir d’entretiens semi-directifs et de questionnaires. L’analyse des contributions de la Commission Européenne, de plusieurs comités du Conseil de l’Europe et d’autres réseaux d’acteurs judiciaires travaillant sur thématiques d’organisation, qualité et efficacité de la justice, ainsi que de leur construction et développement, intégreront l’analyse de cette espace européen d’élaboration de politiques publiques en matière judiciaire et de ces effets sur les processus de réforme nationaux et locaux en cours ou récemment aboutis en plusieurs pays de l’Europe occidentale
In many European countries, justice has widely changed in the last twenty years under the influence of a managerial rationality, focusing on efficiency and costs, besides the interest over quality. The research analyses the different European institutions implied in the process of circulation of a managerial approach in national justice systems. It shows the dynamics of change through the circulation of actors, practices, and policy tools between the various levels of policy-making. The origins of the managerial tools applied to justice in the United States is related to its adaptation to the European context by an array of European and national actors involving justice professionals, policy officers, researchers and consultants. The analysis focuses on multiple committees of experts of the Council of Europe specialised on issues related to the organisation of courts. It shows how their work has been appropriated and used by the European Commission to pressure EU Member States over judicial reform pursuing higher efficiency and quality of service for the citizens and businesses. Two case studies on France and Italy depict the mechanisms behind policy change at the national and local level showing the conditions that favour or limit the circulation of managerial practices and tools. The analysis relies on data coming from semi-direct interviews and a prosopographic survey of the European experts, semi-direct interviews with local justice professionals and from an extensive use of documents from the European, national and local institutions involved in judicial policy-making
