Three Essays on the Role of Corporate Governance in Firms' Spending on R&D and Controlling Earnings-Management Practices: The Role of Independent Directors’ Tenure and Network in Controlling Earnings-Management Practices; The Impact of Board Diversity on the Corporate Propensity to R&D Spending; The Association between Directors’ Multiple-Board Sittings, Tenure, Financial Expertise, and R&D SpendingAsad, Muhammad January 2021 (has links)
This thesis comprises three research essays. The study documents empirical
evidence around the research themes by analysing a sample of the UK’s listed non-financial firms from 2005 to 2018. It applied panel data analysis (fixed or random effects) techniques and the potential endogeneity issue is controlled by using the two-step system, GMM. Earnings-management research holds that manipulating a firm's real activities is more damaging to its long-term growth and value than accruals manipulation. Therefore, by building on agency theory and emphasising board
monitoring, first essay investigates the role of independent directors’ tenure and
connection to several boards in controlling real earnings management (REM). This study finds that independent directors elected to board before appointment of current
CEO are negatively associated with the level of REM. Furthermore, this research
provides evidence that REM is higher in those firms whose INDs are connected to
several boards at a time. Though economically insignificant in most of the models,
this research also shows that the association between INDs’ tenure and REM varies
with the phases of their tenure. Directors in the early stage of their tenure are
observed as being less effective in controlling REM. However, as INDs’ tenure
grows, they employ better oversight over management's conduct, thereby reducing
REM. Contrary to this, the extended tenure of INDs is associated with higher REM.
These results collectively suggest that the board monitoring role protects the stakes
of shareholders/stakeholders by constraining REM; when INDs are free from the
influence of CEO, they are not over-committed due to their presence on several
boards, and they have moderate board tenure which is neither too short nor too long.
Furthermore, drawing on collective contributions and group performance
perspectives, second essay explores the role of board diversity in the firm’s R&D
investment decisions. Additionally, building on a fault-line argument about a team's
demographic attributes, the current research decomposes the impact of
demographic and cognitive diversity on R&D spending. The research observes a
positive relationship between board diversity and the level of R&D spending.
Moreover, this research documents that cognitive diversity is positively associated
with R&D investment. However, demographic diversity has an insignificant
relationship with firms’ spending on R&D projects. Further, this study confirms that
demographic diversity negatively moderates the relationship between cognitive
diversity and R&D investment. These results suggest that the board's attributes as
a group carry the significance to influence the decisions having strategic importance.
The findings on the sub-dimensions of board diversity imply that board
functional/cognitive diversity is more relevant to corporate decisions and outcomes
than is demographic diversity.
Based on the monitoring perspective (agency theory) and resource provision view
(resource dependency theory), third essay investigates the role of independent directors’ specific attributes in the corporate propensity to R&D investment. The
study documents a positive association between INDs’ moderate (median) tenure
and the firm’s spending on R&D projects, but early and extended tenure is observed
as being insignificant. INDs with a presence on three or fewer boards are observed
to promote R&D investment. However, INDs sitting on more than three boards
negatively affect the firm’s propensity to invest in R&D initiatives. Financially expert
INDs are negatively associated with corporate R&D investments, suggesting that
such directors may resist funding these projects beyond optimal risk level because
of their expertise. These results suggest that INDs’ monitoring and advising
competence improves as they spend time on the firm’s board, but that extended
tenure is counterproductive as it impairs INDs’ impartiality. Furthermore, INDs’
capital (resources) accruing from connection to multiple boards is only beneficial for
the firm’s strategic decisions if their monitoring role is not compromised because of
their over-commitment (busyness). / Mirpur University of Science and Technology (MUST)

“Att vara narkoman är något jag kommer få jobba med resten av mitt liv” : En kvalitativ intervjustudie av den egna erfarenhetens inverkan på att bli och vara missbruksbehandlareBazaz, Ava, Dahling Barger, Beata January 2023 (has links)
Missbruk medför samhällsproblem i flera avseenden och innebär en social utsatthet för individen. Ansvaret för utförande av missbruksbehandling ligger delvis inom socialt arbete. Tolvstegsbehandling av alkohol- och narkotikamissbruk är en av Socialstyrelsens rekommenderade behandlingsformer. Denna Studie utforskar hur tolvstegsbehandlare påverkas av sina tidigare erfarenheter av missbruk i utvecklingen av professionell expertis, identitet och i det behandlande arbetet. Fyra kvalitativa djupintervjuer analyserades med hjälp av en fenomenologisk analysmetod. Studiens resultat visar hur behandlare med egen erfarenhet av tidigare missbruk arbetar för att uppnå och bibehålla en professionell expertis och professionell identitet. Kunskap genom utbildning, praktisk kunskap och personliga erfarenheter blir grundläggande, samtidigt som bearbetning av erfarenheter och självreflektion är särskilt avgörande för ett gott behandlande arbete. Resultaten visar på att den egna erfarenheten har en positiv inverkan på behandling och behandlingsrelationen genom att öka delaktighet, mottaglighet och nyttjandet av behandlarens förebildsroll. Däremot utgör den egna erfarenheten risker som kan inverka på behandling och behandlarens känslotillstånd genom överidentifikation. Tidigare erfarenheter kan även skapa konflikt mellan professionell och privat roll, både utifrån tidigare kännedom om klienten och utifrån fortsatt medverkan i tolvstegsmöten som privatperson. Respondenterna delar en öppen syn på behandlingsmetoder, samtidigt som de delar en icke-flexibel syn vad det gäller medicinering. Resultaten är genomsyrade av vikten att arbeta med sig själv genom handledning, egenvård och fortsatt engagemang i tolvstegsrörelsen. Resultaten diskuteras utifrån tidigare forskning, teorin för psykosocialt arbete och de teoretiska begreppen dubbel relation, förebild, professionell expertis, kunskap, situerat lärande och identitet. / Substance abuse results in several different societal problems and leaves the individual in question socially vulnerable. Responsibility for substance abuse treatment partially lies in the hand of social work. Twelve-step treatment is one recommended form of treatment for substance abuse by The National Board of Health and Welfare. The present study explores how recovered twelve-step counselors are affected by their previous experiences of substance abuse in the development of professional expertise, identity and in their treatment work. Four qualitative in-depth interviews were analysed using a phenomenological analysis method. The results of the present study show how recovered counselors work to achieve and maintain professional expertise and a professional identity. Knowledge through education, practice and personal experience is fundamental, and to continuously process ones previous experiences and engage in self-reflection is crucial for recovered counselors to be able to work within their professional role. Results further show that the previous experiences has a positive impact on treatment and the client-counselor relationship by increasing engagement, receptivity and motivation through role-modeling. However, the previous experiences also infers risks that can have a negative effect on treatment and the counselors emotional state through overidentification. Another risk is the conflict between the counselors professional and private role, due to prior knowledge of clients or through engagement in twelve-step meetings. The present study’s participants share an open attitude towards the use of different treatment methods, while sharing a non-flexible attitude towards medical treatment. Something that has permeated the present study’s results was the importance of continuously working with yourself through supervision, self-care and continued engagement in the twelve-step movement. Results are discussed in relation to previous research, the theory of psycosocial work and the theoretical terms double relationship, role-modeling, professional expertise and knowledge, situated learning and identity.

Contesting Risk, Expertise, and Environmental Justice on the Fenceline: The Cases of the Navajo Nation, Radford Arsenal, and Camp MindenNelson, Gregory Douglas 14 September 2016 (has links)
This dissertation examines the contestations over the politics of knowledge, risk, and environmental justice in three fenceline sites. Mobilizing the fenceline standpoint to study risk strengthens our objective understanding of the social situatedness of risk. To illustrate how a fenceline standpoint contributes to stronger objectivity of risk contestations, I survey public discourse of coal slurry extraction in Black Mesa, Arizona using an environmental justice framework. Discursive justifications for the construction of the slurry pipeline reveal how environmental injustice in the fenceline community emerged through urban controversies over water and power generation that excluded a fenceline standpoint. Insights from Black Mesa frame the next two cases: open burning hazardous waste at Radford Army Ammunition Plant, and M6 Disposal at Camp Minden, Louisiana.
At Radford, scholar-activist research examines the contestations of risk at one of the most hazardous waste facilities in the nation. I analyze the construction of risk from open burning of hazardous waste from a fenceline standpoint. I discursively situate the controversy over fenceline community risk from open burning, by showing the inadequacies of official risk assessments. Critical discourse analysis of risk shows the extant contestations over the practice of open burning.
In juxtaposition to Radford, the Camp Minden open burn controversy demonstrates how a fenceline movement successfully constructed alternatives to open burning. Fenceline success in Minden is forcing scrutiny over the risks produced by the practice of open burning explosives across the United States. The activation of fenceline knowledge and expertise, through grassroots organizing, is propelling inquiry from scientific and technical experts of the American Chemical Society who are questioning why the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency have approved the use of open burning at other sites despite safer alternative technology.
Synthetically, each case illustrates the importance of fenceline knowledge as a crucial site of expertise. I present an argument for how a fenceline standpoint can challenge regulatory and producer constructions of fenceline risk. The creation of a program of research: Critical Risk Analysis, offers a model for scholar-activist intervention on the fenceline. The Camp Minden Dialogue demonstrates a successful example of how fenceline expert-activists can influence the construction of risk. Normatively, I build the argument that environmental justice research within Science and Technology Studies ought to situate the fenceline standpoint as equal to the competing epistemological claims of production and regulatory experts in order to strengthen the objectivity of our research in contested fenceline sites. / Ph.

L’orientation des stratégies de recherche de traces matérielles par les techniciens en identité judiciaire : entre savoirs occupationnels et pouvoir(s) discrétionnaire(s)Mousseau, Vincent 07 1900 (has links)
Si les développements technologiques dans le domaine de la science forensique améliorent sans contredit les capacités de détection et la précision des appareils et des analyses effectuées, la qualité, l’intégrité, l’efficacité et l’efficience de l’exploitation des traces matérielles à des fins judiciaires et sécuritaires demeurent avant tout tributaires de décisions humaines prises tout au long du processus forensique, de la scène d’incident au tribunal. À ce sujet, bien qu’ils soient désormais reconnus comme des acteurs au premier plan du déploiement des efforts forensiques, les techniciens en identité judiciaire responsables de l’investigation des scènes d’incident n’ont fait l’objet que de très peu d’études empiriques. Pourtant, les quelques études qui sont disponibles mettent en lumière un degré élevé de variabilité dans leurs pratiques et leurs performances en matière de recherche et de collecte de traces matérielles, suggérant ainsi un processus décisionnel sur lequel nous ne savons toujours que très peu de choses. Dès lors, la thèse se propose de mieux comprendre, à travers une lentille théorique inspirée de certains concepts-clés issus de la sociologie de l’expertise et de la sociologie de la police, l’orientation des stratégies de recherche de traces matérielles par les techniciens en identité judiciaire. Plus précisément, elle cherche à approfondir les mécanismes de prise de décision et le système de savoirs occupationnels auquel se réfèrent les techniciens en identité judiciaire pour guider et justifier leurs actions, les processus de construction et d’acquisition de ces savoirs occupationnels ainsi que l’étendue du pouvoir discrétionnaire des techniciens en identité judiciaire et les conditions sous-jacentes à sa reconnaissance. Pour ce faire, la thèse repose sur une enquête de terrain de type ethnographique réalisée auprès de 19 techniciens en scène de crime du Québec entre 2020 et 2022, combinant 18 entretiens semi-directifs (35 heures) et 200 heures d’observation participante (au poste et sur de véritables scènes d’incident).
Les résultats de la thèse révèlent, d’une part, que l’orientation de la recherche de traces matérielles par les techniciens en identité judiciaire est dépendante d’un système de savoirs occupationnels tacites largement ambigu, voire contradictoire par endroits, nécessitant l’interprétation des mandats, des normes informelles et des méthodes à privilégier pour prendre ou justifier une décision. D’autre part, ils suggèrent que ces savoirs seraient principalement issus, aux yeux des techniciens en identité judiciaire, de l’expérience pratique (à titre de policier et de technicien en identité judiciaire) et des échanges avec les pairs expérimentés, traduisant un discours soutenant le primat de la socialisation professionnelle informelle sur la formation et l’éducation formalisée. Enfin, les techniciens en identité profiteraient d’un important pouvoir discrétionnaire de facto leur permettant d’exercer plutôt librement leur jugement professionnel et de définir les savoirs qui sont considérés comme légitimes. Mis ensemble, ces constats proposent de comprendre la prise de décisions des techniciens en identité judiciaire en matière de recherche de traces matérielles au prisme de l’interaction entre un pouvoir discrétionnaire dynamique et un système de savoirs occupationnels ambigu et plus ou moins partagé. / While technological developments in the field of forensic science are undoubtedly improving detection capabilities and the accuracy of the equipment and analyses performed, the quality, integrity, effectiveness, and efficiency of the exploitation of material traces for judicial and security purposes remain above all dependent on human decisions made throughout the forensic process, from the crime scene to the courts. In this regard, although they are now recognized as key players in the deployment of forensic resources, crime scene examiners responsible for investigating incident scenes have only been the subject of very few empirical studies. Yet, those that are available highlight a high degree of variability in the practices and performances of crime scene examiners regarding the search for material traces, suggesting a decision-making process about which we still know very little. This thesis therefore aims to gain a better understanding of the orientation of crime scene examiners’ strategies for searching material trace through a theoretical lens inspired by key concepts of the sociology of expertise and the sociology of policing. More specifically, it seeks to investigate the decision-making mechanisms and occupational knowledge system to which crime scene examiners refer, the processes of construction and acquisition of such occupational knowledge, and the extent of crime scene examiners’ discretionary power and the conditions underlying its recognition by other stakeholders. The thesis is based on an ethnographic fieldwork among 19 Quebec crime scene examiners between 2020 and 2022, combining 18 semi-structured interviews (35 hours) and 200 hours of participant observation (at the office and at actual incident scenes).
The results of the thesis reveal, on the one hand, that the orientation of the search for material traces by crime scene examiners depends on a tacit system of occupational knowledge which is largely ambiguous, even contradictory in places, leaving room for interpretation of mandates, norms, and preferred methods for making or justifying a decision. On the other hand, they suggest that such knowledge is mainly acquired, in the eyes of crime scene examiners, from practical experience (as a police officer and crime scene investigator) and exchanges with experienced peers, reflecting a discourse supporting the primacy of informal professional socialization over formalized training and education. Finally, crime scene examiners would benefit from a significant de facto discretionary power, enabling them to exercise their professional judgment rather freely and to define the knowledge that should be considered legitimate. Taken together, these findings suggest that the decision-making process of crime scene examiners in the search for material traces can be understood through the prism of the interaction between a variable discretionary power and an ambiguous, more or less shared, system of occupational knowledge.

The Sixth Sense of Investing: How Expertise Shapes Gut-Driven Financial DecisionsHerath, Ruwini, Morgan, Oliver January 2024 (has links)
Background: This study investigates the role of gut feelings in early-stage venture investments, particularly in environments characterized by high uncertainty. By examining how both inexperienced and experienced investors utilize intuition, the research aims to uncover the cognitive and emotional foundations that influence investment decisions. Purpose: The research aims to understand how gut feelings impact investment decisions across different levels of investor experience. It compares the strategies of seasoned investors with those of novices, providing insights into how intuition and analytical reasoning are integrated. The objective is to offer practical guidance for investors on effectively combining gut feelings with analytical methods to navigate uncertain investment landscapes. Method: A multi-method qualitative approach was employed, combining semi-structured interviews and think-aloud protocols to capture real-time decision-making processes. Data were gathered from 11 investors, resulting in 14 hours of verbal protocols, which were subsequently analyzed using protocol analysis. A hypothetical investment scenario involving a fictional company, EcoPower Innovations, was used to elicit detailed responses from participants. Conclusion: The study finds significant differences in how gut feelings influence investment decisions based on the level of investor experience. Experienced investors skillfully blend intuition with data analysis, leveraging their expertise to manage uncertainty more effectively. In contrast, inexperienced investors tend to rely more on emotional impulses, demonstrating less integration of intuitive judgment with analytical reasoning. These findings highlight the importance of investor education in promoting the balanced use of gut feelings and analytical techniques, thereby improving decision-making in uncertain environments. Additionally, the research offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs on tailoring their approaches to potential investors based on their level of experience and expertise.

WERKSTATTLOGIK - Computer im Spannungsfeld von Handwerks-Expertise und Akteurs-BeziehungenLöwe, Hendrik 20 November 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Diese Arbeit erklärt anhand von Vertragswerkstätten der Volkswagen AG, wie Kfz-Handwerker im komple-xen Feld Werkstatt Probleme lösen. Sie deckt auf, wie und warum Kfz-Handwerker auf besondere Weise Denken und Handeln. Dies meint, wie sie arbeiten, lernen und vor Allem, wie und warum sie Medien an-eignen – oder verweigern: Täglich diagnostizieren und reparieren Kfz-Handwerker Fahrzeuge. Dabei ist oft zu beobachten, dass extra dafür hergestellte Hilfsmedien von ihnen umgangen oder gar offen abgelehnt werden. Dies führt teils zu schweren Fehlern, teils aber auch zu herausragenden Leistungen.
Bislang ist kaum geklärt, aus welchen Gründen dies erfolgt. Von den Handwerkern genannte Gründe er-scheinen in der Außenperspektive oft sonderbar. Doch sie sind subjektiv vernünftig. Die Untersuchung zeigt, mit welchen Begründungen die Handwerker sich gegen Medienaneignung entscheiden. Und sie er-klärt, inwiefern dies daran liegt, dass Computer im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen den Expertise-Denk¬wei-sen der Handwerker und den sozialen Beziehungen der Akteure stehen. Die Akteure sind Mitarbeiter im Autohaus, aber auch beim Hersteller und beim Importeur des jew. Landes.
Dies gelingt durch die theoretische Basis subjektwissenschaftlicher Lerntheorie, unter Bezugnahme auf wissenschaftliche Nachbardisziplinen und mit der Methodologie, Strategie und Methodik qualitativer So-zialforschung. Die Phänomene werden exemplarisch aus mehrwöchigen Feldstudien in Werkstätten der Volkswagen AG in Deutschland qua O-Ton-Audiomittschnitt, Interview und Beobachtung rekonstruiert und mit begleitenden Quellen ergänzt. So entstehen z.B. Modelle
- zur Typologie intuitiver und analytischer Arbeitsstrategien der Handwerker
- zu Reflexionsauslösern
- zu Medienkontakthürden und
- zur Medien(vertrauens)bewertung im Prozess der Medienkompetenzentwicklung.
Durch diese erstmals in solcher Form geleistete Phänomen-Aufschlüsselung werden
- neue Ansatzpunkte des didaktischen Designs
- und für die technische Redaktion
- Herausforderungen an Medien und Prozesse
- und für die Qualitätssteigerung zwingend zu leistende Aufgaben
aufgezeigt.
Es werden fast banal scheinende, subtile alltägliche Phänomene analysiert und deren massiver Einfluss auf Fehler und Erfolge des Handelns verdeutlicht. Da ersteres oberflächlich altbekannt und oft unhinterfragt ist, wird die große Bedeutung für einen erfolgreichen Reparaturprozess zumeist übersehen. Darum bietet sich hier noch ungenutztes Verbesserungs-Potential.
Die Befunde fokussieren auf deutsche ‚Werkstattlogik‘, sind aber mit kritischem Rückbezug auf kulturelle Besonderheiten auf die Volkswagen AG Vertragswerkstätten in über 150 Ländern anwendbar.

The implications of the out of field phenomenon for school managementDu Plessis, Anna Elizabeth 30 November 2005 (has links)
The out of field phenomenon, that is, educators who teach outside their field of expertise, adds complexity to the education environment. This growing phenomenon in South African schools impacts colleagues, learners, parents, governing bodies and school management. Teaching characteristics that ensure success in classrooms are threatened by the out of field phenomenon. It puts extra strain on school management's responsibility to provide quality management and jeopardises effective teaching and quality learning. This problem was investigated by a literature study and an empirical investigation using a qualitative approach.
Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with selected participants who shared their experiences of the phenomenon. Findings indicated that the existence of the out of field phenomenon should be recognised in order to provide substantial educator support and sufficient staff development programmes. It is recommended that new evidence-informed knowledge about the out of field phenomenon can contribute to improve effective decision making and policy developing in this regard. / Education management / M.Ed.

Savoirs d’expérience et savoirs professionnels : un projet expérimental dans le champ de la santé mentaleGodrie, Baptiste 09 1900 (has links)
Cette thèse est une réflexion d’épistémologie sociale sur la construction des savoirs professionnels et expérientiels portant sur les problèmes de santé mentale ainsi qu’une exploration de leurs rapports à partir d’un projet de recherche montréalais. Ce projet fédéral de recherche et de démonstration visait à évaluer l’impact de l’approche Logement d’abord auprès de personnes avec des problèmes de santé mentale en situation d’itinérance.
À Montréal, des pairs, avec une expérience vécue des réalités de la santé mentale et de l’itinérance, ont été impliqués dans le projet de recherche aux côtés d’intervenants, de gestionnaires et de chercheurs. Au fil des mois, leur présence a eu des effets contrastés, contribuant parfois à renforcer les barrières entre les savoirs et les hiérarchies professionnelles en présence dans le projet, et, à d’autres occasions, à les surmonter et entrer dans un processus de co-production de nouveaux savoirs et pratiques.
L’analyse des rapports entre les savoirs en présence dans le projet souligne leur caractère complémentaire dans l’intervention publique dans le domaine des services sociaux et de la santé et les forces de l’approche expérimentale mise en oeuvre. La thèse offre également une contribution à la littérature sur la participation citoyenne en proposant une réflexion sur la capacité des citoyens à transformer les institutions publiques.
Les données analysées sont issues d’un terrain de deux ans mêlant observations de la participation des pairs et une cinquantaine d’entretiens individuels et collectifs réalisés auprès de pairs aidants, intervenants, chefs d’équipe, psychiatres, gestionnaires et chercheurs. / This thesis is a contribution of social epistemology on the construction and nature of professional and experiential knowledge of mental health issues and an exploration of their relationship rooted in a research projet in Montreal. This federal research and demonstration project aims to assess the impact of the Housing First approach for homeless people with mental health problems.
In Montreal, people with a lived experience of the realities of mental health and homelessness have been involved in the research project. Over the months, the presence of these peers had mixed effects, contributing sometimes to build up barriers between different types of knowledge and existing professional hierarchies, and allowing, on other occasions, to overcome them and get into a process of co-production of new knowledge and practices. The analysis underlines the complementary nature of professional and experiential knowledge in the field of health and social services and the strength of the experimental approach mobilized in the project. This thesis also provides a contribution to the literature on citizen participation by offering a look on the capacity of the citizens to transform the state institutions.
The qualitative data was collected both throughout observation during a PhD field work and fifty individual and group interviews conducted between 2012 and 2013 with 25 peer support workers, clinical staff (nurses, social workers, and psychologists), program managers and psychiatrists. / Esta tesis presenta una reflexión en epistemología social respecto a la construcción de saberes profesionales y experienciales sobre problemas de salud mental, así como una exploración de las relaciones entre estos saberes a partir de un proyecto de investigación montrealés. Este proyecto federal de investigación y de demostración tenía como objetivo evaluar el impacto del enfoque Housing First con personas con problemas de salud mental y en situación de calle.
Personas que tenían una experiencia vivida de las realidades de la salud mental y de la situación de calle, participaron en el proyecto de investigación en Montreal junto con trabajadores sociales, personal de gestión e investigadores. Con el paso de los meses, la presencia de estos pares tuvo efectos disímiles: en algunos casos contribuyó a reforzar las barreras entre los saberes y las jerarquías profesionales presentes en el proyecto y, en otros casos, contribuyó a superarlos y a iniciar un proceso de coproducción de nuevos saberes y prácticas.
El análisis de las relaciones entre los saberes presentes en el proyecto destaca su carácter complementario en la intervención pública en el marco de servicios sociales y de salud, así como las fuerzas del enfoque experimental implementado. Asimismo, la tesis ofrece una contribución a la literatura sobre la participación ciudadana, proponiendo una reflexión sobre la capacidad de los ciudadanos de transformar las instituciones públicas.
Los datos analizados provienen de un trabajo de terreno de dos años, que incluyó observaciones de la participación de estos pares facilitadores, así como cincuenta entrevistas individuales y colectivas realizadas con los pares, trabajadores sociales, jefes de equipo, psiquiatras, personal de gestión e investigadores.
