Emergent digital era governance: Enacting the role of the ‘institutional entrepreneur’ in transformational change

Tassabehji, Rana, Hackney, R., Popovic, A. 09 April 2016 (has links)
Yes / ‘Digital Era Governance’ (DEG) enables electronic networked processes for integrated, holistic public sector delivery through the adoption of contemporary digital technologies. Our study, based within the States of California and Nevada (USA), investigates the logics embedded in DEG and the critical issues involved for transformational change. We draw upon the concept of ‘enactment’ as a lens to provide insights into relevant theoretical issues. These are operationalised through an enhanced Technology Enactment Framework (TEF) to consider reforms to explore the new DEG environment and, specifically, the role of the CIO and e-government policies. Our findings reveal how public sector CIOs adopt the role of an ‘institutional entrepreneur’, who demonstrate a series of initiatives augmented through identified behaviours relating to proactive community mobilisation (leadership, member focus) and legitimisation (discourse, success stories). Furthermore, the characterisation of entrepreneurial enactment appears to be extremely beneficial to the transformation to DEG within any contemporary public sector context.

L'entrepreneur institutionnel et la dimension spatiale du travail institutionnel. / Institutional Entrepreneurship and the spatial dimension of Institutional Work.

Pokrovsky, Alexis 22 March 2016 (has links)
La théorie néo institutionnelle nous renseigne sur les facteurs structurant les organisations et les marchés. Elle offre une grille de lecture adaptée pour tous ceux qui sont soucieux de comprendre et maîtriser les évolutions d’un champ organisationnel, en particulier s’ils sont acteurs de cette évolution. Cette grille de lecture est particulièrement riche d’enseignement pour les entrepreneurs qui cherchent à modifier durablement le domaine dans lequel ils interviennent. Un des axes peu étudié de l’action entrepreneuriale, concerne la dimension spatiale, c’est-à-dire la capacité à arranger la disposition des réalités sociales distinctes. La littérature sur les territoires nous renseigne sur le lien fort qui existe entre espace et institutions. Ce qui nous mène à la question de recherche principale : comment une action forte sur l’espace va modifier les institutions, et transformer l’entrepreneur en entrepreneur institutionnel ? Cette recherche se propose d’étudier plusieurs cas de parcours d’entrepreneurs suivant une stratégie spatiale et de vérifier si leur démarche s’inscrit dans le processus du travail institutionnel. Le premier intérêt de cette recherche sera de définir ce qu’est une « stratégie spatiale » en matière de gestion et, plus précisément, en matière entrepreneuriale, en détaillant son processus, les compétences clés et en fournissant des modèles génériques. Le second intérêt sera d’apporter un éclairage théorique nouveau sur l’entrepreneur institutionnel, « boson de Higgs » de la Théorie Néo Institutionnelle. / The new institutional theory plays an important part to our understanding of the structural elements shaping organizations and markets. It brings an analytical framework for anyone interested in understanding and managing changes in an organizational field, and more specifically for those who want to be actor of that change. This framework is particularly helpful for entrepreneurs wishing to change their field of operation. Spatial activity, namely the capacity to organize social distinct realities, is a dimension of the entrepreneurial activity that has remained quite unexplored. The literature on territories gives us an indication of the strong relationship between space and institution. This brings us to the backbone question of this research: how can deliberate actions on space (or “doing with space” as written by Michel Lussault) change institutions and turn the entrepreneur into an institutional entrepreneur? This research will be based on several case studies about entrepreneurs who follow a spatial strategy, to test whether it fits the definition of institutional work. First, it will define what a “spatial strategy” is in management studies, and in particular for entrepreneurship, by detailing its process and the key competences and by proposing various generic models. Finally, it will shed a new light on the institutional entrepreneur, “Higgs boson” of the New Institutional Theory.

Campo organizacional e adoção de Indicação Geográfica (IG): um estudo sobre a produção de cafés especiais no Brasil / Organizational field and adoption of Geographical Indication (GI): A study on the production of specialty coffees in Brazil

Carvalho, Josué Pires de 24 February 2017 (has links)
O café se apresenta como uma commodity de grande impacto na produção agrícola e pauta de exportação do Brasil, sendo os Estados de Minas Gerais e São Paulo importantes neste contexto. Entretanto, apesar de o Brasil ser referência mundial na produção de cafés, no que se refere à produção de café especial e de maior valor agregado, ainda se constitui em um grande desafio sua aceitação plena nos principais mercados consumidores. Neste contexto, a adoção de Indicação Geográfica (IGs), se apresenta como um importante indicador para que uma região seja reconhecida formalmente na condição de produtora de cafés diferenciados. Assim, considera-se que a participação do Estado e demais atores envolvidos são fundamentais neste processo. Parte-se para a compreensão de tal fenômeno, pelo enfoque da teoria institucional, considerando o papel de todos os stakeholders bem como os indutores de isomorfismo atuantes no campo organizacional. Neste sentido, o estudo visou a estudar empiricamente essas relações. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade, análise documental e observação, com os diversos seguimentos dos agentes presentes no campo, e, em especial, em três regiões cafeeiras, quais sejam: Noroeste de Minas e Matas de Minas, no Estado de Minas Gerais e a Alta Mogiana no Estado de São Paulo. As três regiões foram escolhidas por serem as mais representativas e convenientes para o universo de cafés especiais brasileiros e seu elevado grau relativo de desenvolvimento institucional, sendo que duas (Noroeste de Minas e Alta Mogiana) já possuem Indicação Geográfica (IGs) e a terceira (Matas de Minas) está em processo de adoção. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam a experiência longeva da atividade produtiva no Brasil, onde se manifesta a institucionalização de um campo organizacional, como variável fundamental para o aperfeiçoamento do mercado de cafés para uma realidade econômica atual que privilegia qualidade e experiências de consumo diferenciados. O universo dos cafés especiais é, portanto, o locus da construção e desenvolvimento de uma cultura mais do que a mera produção e consumo de uma commodity / Coffee presents itself as a commodity of great impact in the agricultural production and basis of exportation of Brazil, and the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo are important in this context. However, even though Brazil is a global reference regarding coffee production, when it comes to the production of specialty coffee with higher added value, its full acceptance by the greatest consuming markets is still a challenge. In this context, the adoption of Geographical Indications (GI) is presented as an important indicator for a region to be formally recognized in the condition of producer of differentiated coffees. Therefore, it\'s perceived that the participation of the State and other involved agents is fundamental in this process. It\'s important to understand such situation through the perspective of the institutional theory, considering the role of all stakeholders, just as the inducers of isomorphism present in the organizational field. In this way, the present study aimed at empirically studying these relations. For that, in-depth interviews, documental analyses and observation were conducted with varied segments of the agents present in the field, with emphasis on three coffee producing regions: Noroeste de Minas and Matas de Minas, in the state of Minas Gerais, and Alta Mogiana, in the state of São Paulo. All three regions were selected for being the most representative and most convenient for the universe of specialty Brazilian coffees and their high relative degree of institutional development, considering that two of the areas (Noroeste de Minas and Alta Mogiana) already have Geographical Indication (GI), and the third (Matas de Minas) is currently in the process of adopting it. The results of the research indicate a long-lasting experience of the production activity in Brazil, where the institutionalization of an organizational field is presented as a key variable for the enhancement of the coffee markets for the present economical situation, which privileges differentiated quality and consumption experiences. The universe of specialty coffees is, therefore, much more a locus of construction and development of a culture than of the mere production and consumption of a commodity

However, due to market changes and the rapid expansion of direct competitors, their survival has been threatened. One of the strategies to reverse this process is the project of revitalization that aims to raise the attractiveness of the high street retailers. In Brazil, unlike the international context, there is no institutionalized model with specific legislation that allows a cohesive articulation and mobilization for the revitalization process between the public and private sectors. In some Brazilian states, few initiatives have been developed due to the concerns of some retailers in the high street retailers or of organizations outside the field. These retail leaders became institutional entrepreneurs (IE) because they were actors who made strong efforts to modify and structure the organizational field for the street retailers. However, to act as IE these retailers had to build their legitimacy among their peers and later with external institutions. But this process of building legitimacy requires a lot of effort from the IE, otherwise it will not be able to propose the deinstitutionalization of the existing structures in search for new organizational forms. Throughout this context, the main objective of this research is to describe how IE build their legitimacy in fields not yet institutionalized, as is the case of the high street retailers in Brazil, and how these "pre-emergent" fields influence this process. With the proposal to clarify these issues, this research was based on a qualitative approach and applied a multiple case study design. A series of semi-structured interviews were conducted with retailers that acted as institutional entrepreneurs in the revitalization project, totaling eight high street retailers in Brazil. In addition to the interviews, observations, collection, analysis of documents made available by the entrepreneurs and research of secondary data on the web were carried out to add depth to the case studies. Our results showed the difficulties of retail entrepreneurs to raise the degree of maturity of the high street retailers the presentation of a structured project, with collective benefits and with the purpose of increasing local attractiveness, was not sufficient to guarantee the construction of the legitimacy of the retail institutional entrepreneur in its integrity. In addition, our analysis s indicated a strong influence of the precarious degree of institutionalization of the high street retailers in the construction of the legitimacy of the retail institutional entrepreneur (RIE). The high street retailers were positioned in the organizational field in such a poorly structured stage that we have come to call it the “pre-emergent” field. Thus, our research generates contribution to better describe how institutional entrepreneurs retailers sought to build their legitimacy among their peers and towards the other social actors outside the high street retailers. We also contribute to generating managerial recommendations for the high street retailers itself, as well as for public policies to effectively support and even stimulate the high street retailers’ revitalization process and thus avoid the phenomena of degradation in the central areas of cities / Os polos varejistas de rua assumem um papel relevante na vitalidade das cidades. No entanto, devido às mudanças de mercado e a rápida expansão de concorrentes diretos, sua sobrevivência vem sendo ameaçada. Uma das estratégias empregadas no intuito de tentar reverter este processo são representadas por intermédio de projetos de revitalização fundamentados na proposta de elevar a atratividade dos polos de ruas. No Brasil, diferentemente do contexto internacional, não existe um modelo institucionalizado resguardado por uma legislação específica que permita uma articulação e mobilização coesa para o processo de revitalização, viabilizando uma interação positiva entre o setor público e o privado. Em alguns estados brasileiros, algumas iniciativas surgiram em razão de inquietações de alguns varejistas e/ou organizações externas ao campo. Esses líderes varejistas se transformaram em empreendedores institucionais (EI), pois assumiram a condição de atores imbuídos de fortes esforços, a fim de modificar e estruturar o campo organizacional para os polos varejistas de rua. Frente a todo esse esforço estes varejistas precisaram construir a sua legitimidade entre os seus pares e, posteriormente, com instituições externas, caso contrário, não conseguirá propor a desinstitucionalização das estruturas vigentes, em busca de novas formas organizacionais. Dito isto, tem-se como o objetivo principal, nessa pesquisa, ressaltar a oportunidade de descrever como o EI constrói a sua legitimidade em campos ainda não institucionalizados; como são tratados os casos que envolvem os polos de rua no Brasil; e de que maneira estes campos “pré-emergentes” influenciam esse processo. Esta pesquisa fundamentou-se na abordagem qualitativa, aplicando um desenho de estudo de caso múltiplo. Foram realizadas uma série de entrevistas semiestruturadas envolvendo varejistas que atuaram como EI no projeto de revitalização, totalizando oito polos varejistas espalhados pelo Brasil. Também foram realizadas observações, coleta, análise de documentos disponibilizados pelos empreendedores e pesquisa de dados secundários realizados na web, no intuito de agregarem profundidade aos estudos de caso. Os resultados trouxeram à tona amostras das dificuldades encontradas pelos empreendedor institucional varejista (EIV) diante da pretensão de elevarem o grau de maturidade do polo varejista. A apresentação de um projeto estruturado, com benefícios coletivos e com o propósito de ampliar a atratividade local não foram suficientes para garantir a construção da legitimidade do EIV, na sua integridade. Além disso, nossas análises indicaram uma forte influência do precário grau de institucionalização do polo varejista na construção da legitimidade do EIV. Averiguou-se que os polos varejistas estavam posicionados no campo organizacional em um estágio pouco estruturado, a ponto serem caracterizados como campos pré-emergentes. Assim, a nossa pesquisa gera uma contribuição valorativa ao procurar descrever, da melhor forma possível, como os EIV buscaram construir a sua legitimidade entre os seus pares, assim como perante os demais atores sociais externos ao polo. Em outro viés, contribuímos também com o avanço proposto nessa pesquisa ao viabilizar recomendações gerenciais para o próprio polo, e também para que políticas públicas passem a apoiar, de forma efetiva, todo esse processo, estimulando a revitalização de polos, evitando-se, com isso, fenômenos de degradação de áreas centrais das cidades.

Déclencher le changement institutionnel : une analyse de l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre initiale des lignes directrices en allaitement maternel au Québec

Agnolon, Maria Carolina 03 1900 (has links)
L’allaitement maternel est reconnu comme la façon optimale de nourrir les nourrissons et les jeunes enfants. Néanmoins, le Québec présente des taux d’allaitement parmi les plus faibles au Canada. Dans un tel contexte, le gouvernement provincial plaça l’allaitement comme l’une de ses priorités de santé publique et il publia, en 2001, la politique L’allaitement maternel au Québec : Lignes directrices (LD). Cette étude a pour but de comprendre les processus d’émergence, d’élaboration et de mise en œuvre des LD. Il s’agit d’une étude de cas unique qualitative. Les données ont été recueillies par des entrevues et un groupe de discussion auprès de personnes engagées dans ce domaine et par la recension documentaire. Une analyse thématique déductive-inductive a été réalisée en utilisant la théorie institutionnelle. Les LD ont émergé à partir d’un mouvement professionnel qui a collaboré avec le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux pendant la phase d’élaboration et le début de la phase d’implantation de la politique. Au fil du temps, la prise de décisions a été centralisée, les mécanismes de concertation sont devenus désuets et les relations entre les acteurs concernés sont devenues moins coopératives. L’inconfort et le mécontentement avec cette nouvelle façon de gérer le dossier allaitement ont favorisé l’émergence d’un nouveau mouvement professionnel. L’étude conclut cependant que les acteurs concernés par l’allaitement au Québec visent l’atteinte du même but et que la collaboration est possible même dans un domaine très institutionnalisé comme celui de la santé, la preuve étant la formulation consensuelle des LD. / Breastfeeding is the optimal way of feeding infants and young children. Nevertheless, breastfeeding rates in Quebec are among the lowest in Canada. Within this context, the government of Quebec included breastfeeding among its public health priorities, and in 2001 published the policy L’allaitement maternel au Québec : Lignes directrices (Breastfeeding in Quebec: Guidelines; LD). Using a qualitative single case study design, this study aimed to understand the processes of emergence, development and implementation of the LD. Institutional theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. Data were collected through individual interviews and a focus group with professionals involved in the process under examination, as well as documentary analysis. Deductive-inductive thematic analysis was performed on transcribed verbatim. The LD emerged from a professional movement which worked in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services in the initial phases of policy development and implementation. Over time, however, the decision making was centralized, consultation mechanisms became obsolete, and the relationships between different institutional actors became less cooperative. The discomfort and dissatisfaction with the Ministry’s new way of managing the Quebec breastfeeding policy triggered the emergence of a new parallel professional movement. The study concludes, however, that even in a highly institutionalized domain such as health, those committed to breastfeeding in the province could work together as they aim to reach the same goal, i.e., higher rates of breastfeeding. The initial consensual formulation of the LD proves that, in this particular institutional field, collaboration is possible.
