När det gäller barn och unga som far illa eller riskerar att fara illa spelar samverkan en central roll i att kunna förebygga att den unge inte hamnar i olika kriminella banor. Det innebär att i syfte att kunna fånga upp samt förebygga att unga hamnar i olika kriminella banor förutsätts en stark och fungerande samverkan mellan myndigheter som kan möjliggöra för en helhetssyn av problemet. Studien behandlar samverkan mellan skola, socialtjänst, polis och fritid – SSPF. Det övergripande syftet med studien var att genomföra en fallstudie kring SSPF-samverkan i Uppsala kommun samt belysa hur samverkan fungerar i teorin och i praktiken. Mer specifikt handlade det om att undersöka samverkansparternas upplevelser kring vad SSPF-samverkan innebär för deras arbete och i arbetet med barn och unga i riskzon. Studiens empiriska material baserade sig på åtta intervjudeltagare, två från respektive myndighet, med någon form av erfarenhet i arbetet med SSPF. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för studien var samverkansteori och kompletteras med ytterligare teorier och begrepp som gräsrotsbyråkrati samt handlingsutrymme. Samverkansteorin synliggör för hur samverkan mellan myndigheterna fungerar medan gräsrotsbyråkrati och handlingsutrymme visar hur respektive individ förhåller sig till sitt arbete. Resultatet synliggör att det finns tydliga skillnader mellan hur samverkan föreställs i teorin och hur det sätts i praktiken samt att det föreligger både hinder och möjligheter i samverkansarbetet. Vidare visar resultatet att det finns inte en enskild faktor som möjliggör för en god samverkan utan faktorer som gemensamma perspektiv, helhetssyn och relationsskapande har varit nödvändiga för att möjliggöra för en god samverkan. Studiens huvudsakliga slutsats är att det finns både likheter och skillnader mellan hur SSPF-samverkan framställs fungera i teorin hur det förverkligas i praktiken. Mer specifikt handlar det om att samverkan är ett komplext fenomen som inbegriper en mängd olika faktorer på strukturell, organisatorisk samt individuell nivå. / When it comes to children and young at risk, collaboration plays a significant role in being able to prevent the young person from ending up in different criminal paths. In order to catch and prevent young people from ending up in different criminal paths, a strong collaboration between authorities is needed. The study deals with collaboration between school, social services, police, and recreation centres - SSPF. The overall purpose of the study was to conduct a case study on SSPF collaboration in Uppsala municipality and shed light on how collaboration works in theory and in practice. More specifically, it was about examining the collaboration parties' experiences of what SSPF collaboration means for their work and in the work with children and young people at risk. The empirical data for the study was based on eight interview participants, two from each authority, with some form of experience in working with SSPF. The theory for the study is collaboration theory, street-level bureaucracy, discretionary power, and discretion. The collaboration theory shows how collaboration between authorities works while street-level bureaucracy, discretionary power and discretion shows how each individual relates to their work. The results highlights the differences between how collaboration is represented in theory and how it is put into practice, and that there are both difficulties and opportunities in the collaboration work. Furthermore, the results show that there is not a single factor that enables good collaboration, but factors such as a common perspective, holistic view and relationship building have been necessary to enable good collaboration. The main conclusion of the study is that there are both similarities and differences between how SSPF is presented in theory and how it is realized in practice. More specifically, it is about collaboration being a complex phenomenon that involves many factors at the structural, organizational, and individual level.

Les démarches d’écologie industrielle et territoriale (EIT) sont encore rares alors que d’une part, le développement durable dont elles se revendiquent est de plus en plus présent dans la vie des organisations et que d’autre part, elles relèvent de ce que certains appellent la « science de la durabilité ». On s’aperçoit par ailleurs que les travaux de recherche qui leur sont consacrés portent principalement sur la dimension physique des flux de matières et d’énergies échangés. Peu de choses sont dites sur les acteurs qui utilisent ces flux et sur les organisations qui les produisent ou les consomment. Pourtant, dire avec l’EIT qu’il faut sortir d’un fonctionnement optimisé aux bornes de l’organisation pour s’inspirer du fonctionnement performant des écosystèmes naturels, c’est dire qu’il faut parvenir à construire des coopérations inter-organisationnelles. La problématique des coopérations inter-organisationnelles n’est pas nouvelle pour les sciences de gestion. Les travaux disponibles traitent toutefois rarement de la phase amont d’initialisation des coopérations, en particulier lorsque l’intérêt de la coopération n’est pas évident a priori. L’objectif de cette thèse est alors de comprendre comment donner envie aux acteurs (organisation et individus) de coopérer quand, il n’y a ni contrainte règlementaire ni incitations économique évidente à le faire, comme c’est le cas pour l’instant dans les démarches d’EIT. En s’appuyant d’une part sur les travaux de la sociologie de la traduction et de la théorie émergente des objets-frontières et d’autre part, sur l’analyse de quatre démarches françaises d’EIT, notre travail propose des éléments de réponse sur ce qui permet d’ « enrôler » les acteurs dans ces démarches et partant, sur la façon dont il est possible d’initier les coopérations inter-organisationnelles qu’elles requièrent. Les résultats de ce travail suggèrent une grande souplesse dans la conduite de ces démarches : plutôt que d’essayer de convaincre d’un intérêt peu évident à formuler a priori, les promoteurs de projets peuvent avoir intérêt à laisser parler les besoins, envies et attentes des acteurs sollicités. A eux de mobiliser des objets-frontières qui puissent aider à construire un contexte partagé, et à identifier les intérêts de participer ensemble, à la dynamique d’une démarche d’EIT. La thèse montre en définitive comment la traduction doit être envisagée dans le contexte spécifique de l’EIT. Elle a cependant des implications concrètes et théoriques pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à la dynamique des coopérations inter-organisationnelles, à la sociologie de la traduction et à la théorie des objets-frontières. / Industrial and territorial ecology (ITE) is still a very recent and rare approach. However, the method of sustainable development, to which ITE belongs, is more and more present in today's organizations and ITE is increasingly considered to be the 'science of sustainability'.Research on ITE is mainly focused on the physical dimension of energy exchanges and material flows. Today, little has been found on the actors who use these flows and the organizations who produce or consume them. However, stating that the implementation of ITE requires change from a mechanism optimized at the organizational boundaries to a performing natural ecosystems mechanism, means thinking outside organizational boundaries. While inter-organizational cooperation is not new to management studies, the research carried out on this topic rarely addresses the initiation phase of cooperation, especially when the interest of cooperation is not clear at first insight. The objective of the present thesis is to understand how to prompt actors (organizations and individuals) to cooperate when there are no regulatory constraints or obvious economic incentives to do so, as it is currently the case in ITE approaches. This thesis is based on first the work of the sociology of translation and the emerging theory of boundary objects, and second on the analysis of four French ITE approaches. This thesis provides a better understanding of the mechanisms that allow to "enrol" players in the ITE processes and how it is possible to initialize the inter-organizational cooperation they require. The results of this study suggest a high degree of flexibility in the conduct of the ITE approach: rather than trying to convince actors of a benefit that is difficult to formulate, project leaders may have more success letting the needs, desires and expectations emerge. If they see it as their responsibility to mobilize boundary objects that can help in building a shared context and identify the common interests to participate all together, the dynamics of a successful ITE process can emerge.Ultimately, this thesis shows how translation must be considered as an important element in the specific context of ITE. We show both practical and theoretical implications for those who are interested in the dynamics of inter-organizational cooperation, in the sociology of translation and in the theory of boundary objects.

As evidências teóricas sobre as influências da troca de informações e de conhecimentos entre as empresas e instituições em um ambiente de inovação conduziu este estudo. Desse modo, o estudo tem como objetivo propor um esquema conceitual que possibilite compreender os elementos envolvidos na promoção de ambientes de inovação em parques científicos e tecnológicos, a partir da dinâmica de cooperação entre universidade, empresa e governo. Partindo da investigação empírica procurou-se elaborar um esquema conceitual para auxiliar a compreensão do ambiente de inovação. A pesquisa utilizou a estratégia de estudo de casos múltiplos, sendo realizada através de entrevistas em profundidade com os gestores das empresas e das instituições envolvidas no Tecnosinos (Brasil) e no Taguspark (Portugal). Dentre as principais conclusões da pesquisa são sintetizadas as seguintes evidências teóricas: a) os fatores determinantes de necessidade, reciprocidade e legitimidade influenciam a formação de uma relação interorganizacional; b) a coerência entre os objetivos individuais e coletivos, a interação entre as organizações e os mecanismos de coordenação influenciam a cooperação interorganizacional; c) a cooperação interorganizacional, os efeitos da proximidade geográfica, as infraestruturas e os serviços, a universidade, o governo e o capital de risco são elementos envolvidos na promoção de ambientes de inovação e influenciam os ganhos coletivos em um contexto de parque científico e tecnológico. Em resumo, as evidências da pesquisa indicam que as contingências, os atributos e a cooperação, os efeitos da proximidade geográfica, as infraestruturas e os serviços, a universidade, o governo e o capital de risco incluídos no esquema conceitual correspondem aos principais elementos envolvidos no ambiente de inovação em parques científicos e tecnológicos. / This thesis deals with the cooperation between universities, companies and government in the promotion of innovation environments in science and technology parks. The theoretical evidence on the influence of the exchange of information and knowledge between companies and institutions in an environment of innovation led this study. In this way, the study aims to propose a conceptual scheme that allows the understanding of the elements involved in the promotion of innovation environments in scientific and technological parks, from the dynamic of cooperation among universities, business and government. Based on the empirical research, we sought to establish a conceptual scheme to assist the understanding of the innovation environment. The research used the strategy of multiple case study, being conducted through in-depth interviews with managers of companies and institutions involved in Tecnosinos (Brazil) and Taguspark (Portugal). Among the main conclusions of the research are summarized the following theoretical evidences: a) determinant factors of necessity, reciprocity and legitimacy influence the formation of an interorganizational relationship in the context of scientific and technological park; b) consistency between the individual and collective goals, the interaction between the organization and the coordination mechanisms influence the interorganizational cooperation; c) interorganizational cooperation, the effects of geographical proximity, infrastructure and services, university, government and risk capital are elements that are implicated in the promotion of innovation environments and influence collective gains in a context of science and technology park. In summary, the research's evidences indicate that the contingencies, the attributes and cooperation, the effects of geographical proximity, infrastructure and services, the university, government and risk capital included in the conceptual schema correspond to the main elements involved in the environment for innovation in scientific and technological parks.

Diante disto, a Elster-BR, um dos fornecedores tradicionais do segmento, vem lançando mão de alianças estratégicas para manter-se competitiva, porém sem a utilização de um processo claro e definido na seleção de parceiros. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo propor um processo, composto por instrumentos e procedimento, de seleção de empresas para alianças estratégicas, adequado ao contexto da Elster-BR. Para tanto, adotou-se o método denominado design research. O método constituído por cinco passos (consciência do problema, sugestão, desenvolvimento, avaliação e conclusão) possibilita a construção e avaliação de um processo. A primeira etapa do design research, consciência do problema, é a identificação da necessidade de um processo de seleção de parceiros. A análise da literatura consistiu na segunda etapa. Nesta etapa, buscou-se a identificação de referências para a construção dos instrumentos e procedimento de operacionalização do processo. O terceiro passo, desenvolvimento, referiu-se à construção do processo adequado à realidade da Elster-BR. Já o quarto passo centrou-se, primeiramente, na validação do processo junto aos executivos da empresa. O quinto e último passo refere-se à apresentação do processo consolidado, o resultado dessa dissertação. O processo de seleção de parceiros é composto por instrumentos (questionário, sistema de pontuação e gráficos) e um procedimento de operacionalização (estágios e fluxo). O processo desenvolvido tem como objetivo garantir uma forma objetiva e sistemática para os executivos selecionarem as empresas para alianças, bem como dar subsídios para configurar a aliança com o parceiro selecionado. O processo visa contribuir com a literatura já existente, bem como com a gestão da empresa, objeto de estudo. / The Brazilian segment of metering electricity is inserted in a context of increased competition due to a transition process of technology, which consequently brought the entry of new companies providing metering solutions. Given this, Elster-BR, one of the traditional suppliers of the segment, is using strategic alliances to remain competitive, but without using a clear defined process for selecting partners. This dissertation aims to propose a process composed of instruments and procedures to select companies for strategic alliances, appropriated to the context of Elster-BR. Therefore, the method called design research was adopted. This method consists of five steps (problem awareness, suggestion, development, evaluation and conclusion) which allow the construction and evaluation of a process. The first stage of the design research, awareness problem, is the identification of the need for a process to select partners. The literature review consisted of the second stage. In this step, references were identified to the construction of instruments and procedures to put the process in practice. The third step, development, referred to the construction process adapted to the reality of Elster-BR. The fourth step focused, primarily, on the validation of processes with company executives. The fifth and last step refers to the presentation of the consolidated process, the result of this dissertation. The process of partners selection consists on instruments (questionnaire, scoring system and graphics) and a procedure for operation (stages and flow). The developed process is designed to ensure an objective and systematic process for the company executives to select companies for alliances, as well as giving subsidies during alliance configuration with the selected partner. The process aims to contribute to the existing literature, as well as the company's management, object of study.

In the light of the urgence of cooperation in the world, for handling global issues, this study offers a discussion on bilateral cooperation, more specifically on municipal partnerships. While previous research has examined some specific cases on possibilities and challengeswith this kind of cooperation, the view of proven efficiency in relation to the symbolic value has fallen short. The organization Swedish International Centre for Local Democracy offers a Network for Human Rights and aims to promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences between local authorities. This study, which is based on ten in-depth qualitative interviews, ought to explore what challenges and learnings can be found in ongoing municipal partnerships, in this Network. The study further aims to explore how those findings relate to a North and South perspective and the municipalities’ values and goals, by collecting experiences from South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Sweden. Through a thematic analysis process of the empirical data and the use of a theoretical framework in the field of organizational learning, developed by Chris Argyris and Donald A. Schön, this study has been able to identify several findings. Challenges involve implementation, cultural obstacles and lack of resources, which prove to be divergent between North and South. Values and goals of the partnerships are hence hard to perform in practice. The outcomes circle practical activities, however, the most evident outcome is to learn from one another, which puts the learning experiences in focus of the study.

The Swedish Public Employment Service's reform based on the so-called January agreement from 2019 has since its initiation been an ongoing issue in the Swedish public debate. As a result of the reform, several municipalities have expressed experiences that the operational cooperation in individual cases has deteriorated. The experiences are significant, as cooperation between the Swedish Public Employment Service, municipalities and other actors has been described as a prerequisite for realizing labor market policy. The purpose of the thesis is therefore to study what the operational labor market policy cooperation in individual cases looks like in four Swedish municipalities and how municipal officials perceive that the conditions for this cooperation are affected by the Public Employment Service's reform. This through a qualitative interview study, with a strategic selection of municipalities. The study is thus based on a local perspective and the selection of municipalities is made in order to cover several contextual factors that could potentially affect the municipal experiences. The theoretical starting points are taken from the theory of interorganizational cooperation. The result shows consistent experience in all the municipalities interviewed that the conditions for the interorganizational operational cooperation in individual cases at the local level being negatively affected by the Swedish Public Employment Service's reform. Both in terms of cooperation between the municipalities and the Public Employment Service as well as between the municipalities and independent actors (in cases where they cooperated before the reform). The main reason for the deteriorating cooperation is described as a changed local presence, reduced contact areas and reduced personal relationships at the administrator level. These factors have also been identified by the municipal representatives as the most important factors to address in order for there to be an appropriate and well-functioning cooperation. / Arbetsförmedlingens reformering med utgångspunkt i den så kallade Januariöverenskommelsen från 2019 har sedan dess initiering varit en pågående fråga i den svenska samhällsdebatten. Till följd av reformen har flera kommuner uttryckt erfarenheter av att det operativa samverkan i individärenden försämrats. Erfarenheterna är betydelsefulla eftersom samverkan mellan Arbetsförmedlingen, kommuner och andra aktörer beskrivits som en förutsättning för att realisera arbetsmarknadspolitiken. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att studera hur den operativa arbetsmarknadspolitiska samverkan i individärenden ser ut i fyra svenska kommuner samt hur kommunala tjänstepersoner uppfattar att förutsättningarna för denna samverkan påverkats av Arbetsförmedlingens reformering. Detta genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie, med ett strategiskt urval av kommuner utifrån kommunernas geografiska position och hur Arbetsförmedlingen valt att arrangera myndighetens lokala närvaro. Studien utgår därmed från ett lokalt perspektiv och urvalet av kommuner görs i syfte att täcka in flera kontextuella faktorer som potentiellt kan påverka de kommunala erfarenheterna. Studiens resultat visar på samstämmiga erfarenheter hos de intervjudade kommunföreträdarna om att förutsättningarna för den interorganisatoriska operativa samverkan i individärenden på lokal nivå påverkats negativt av Arbetsförmedlingens reformering. Både när det gäller samverkan mellan kommunerna och Arbetsförmedlingen samt mellan kommunerna och fristående aktörer (i de fall de samverkat innan reformen). De främsta orsakerna till den försämrade samverkan beskrivs vara Arbetsförmedlingens förändrade lokala närvaro, minskade kontaktytor och minskade personliga relationer på handläggarnivå. Faktorerna har utifrån de intervjuade kommunföreträdarna identifierats som viktiga för att främja en ändamålsenlig och välfungerande samverkan.

[pt] O objetivo da dissertação é analisar e comparar a influência de diferentes tipos de parceiros em arranjos cooperativos para projetos de PD&I sobre a apropriação de valor pelas empresas inovadoras da indústria de transformação no Brasil, considerando-se condições ambientais distintas, como nível de intensidade tecnológica e força do regime de apropriabilidade dos setores em que atuam, bem como características internas, como tamanho da empresa e capacidade para cooperar em projetos de PDeI (focalizando inovações de produto e/ou processo). A fonte de dados é a Pesquisa Nacional de Inovação (Pintec 2014), realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). A pesquisa pode ser considerada descritiva e aplicada. A metodologia adotada compreende pesquisa bibliográfica sobre inovação; mecanismos de apropriação de valor; cooperação interorganizacional para inovação e classificações tecnológicas, destacando-se a classificação de intensidade tecnológica proposta pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE); pesquisa documental referente à Classificação CNAE e ao Manual da Pintec 2014, ambas divulgadas pelo IBGE; análise de conteúdo para classificar as atividades econômicas das empresas inovadoras da indústria de transformação (respondentes da Pintec 2014), segundo quatro níveis de intensidade tecnológica e regime de apropriabilidade dos setores em que atuam e três faixas de pessoal alocado; solicitação ao IBGE de acesso aos microdados não desidentificados da Pintec 2014; e desenvolvimento de modelos econométricos logit para os doze agrupamentos de empresas, classificadas por intensidade tecnológica/força do regime de apropriabilidade do setor e por faixa de pessoal ocupado. A utilização dos microdados da Pintec 2014 para analisar a influência da cooperação interorganizacional sobre a apropriação de valor pelas empresas inovadoras da indústria de transformação no Brasil em diferentes condições ambientais conferem à pesquisa um caráter original, uma vez que os estudos anteriores baseados em Pesquisas Nacionais de Inovação não exploraram essa abordagem metodológica. / [en] This dissertation aims to analyze and compare the influence of different types of partners in cooperative arrangements for RDandI projects on the appropriation of value by innovative companies of the transformation industry in Brazil, considering different environmental conditions, such as the level of technological intensity and strength of the appropriability regime of the sectors in which they operate, as well as internal characteristics such as company size and its capacity to cooperate in RDandI projects (focusing on product and/or process innovations). The primary data source is the National Innovation Survey (Pintec), conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The research can be considered descriptive and applied. The methodology adopted includes bibliographic research on innovation; value creation and value appropriation mechanisms; and technological classifications, highlighting the classification of sectoral technological intensity proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); documentary analysis concerning the Brazilian Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE) and Pintec 2014, both published by IBGE; content analysis to classify the economic activities of the respondent companies, according to sectoral technological intensity, appropriability regime of the sectors in which they operate and number of employees; request to IBGE for access to microdata of Pintec 2014; development of logit econometric models for the companies classified by sector technological intensity/strength of the appropriability regime, and by number of employees (micro and small, medium and large companies). The use of microdata from Pintec 2014 to analyze and compare the influence of different types of partners in cooperative arrangements for RDandI projects on the appropriation of value by innovative companies under different environmental conditions give the research an original character, since previous studies based on National Innovation Surveys have not explored this methodological approach.
