Importance of Leadership Competencies for the Transition to Sustainable Healthcare in SwedenLindeberg, Anna, Dina, Claudia, Augustsson, Håkan, Vasileva, Mariana January 2020 (has links)
Our unsustainable way of living has created a precondition for the emergence of more and new illnesses, jeopardizing the overall health of society. The Swedish healthcare system faces complex challenges that threaten its ability to live up to its obligations as stated in the law. It is proven that leaders in public organisations can have a substantial function in leading towards sustainability. Leadership competencies have a big role to play in that journey.This thesis explores the complex challenges administration leaders in the healthcare sector of two Swedish public organisations – Region Blekinge and Västra Götalandsregionen face when it comes to sustainability. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development is used to analyse the complexity and the sustainability within the study’s context. The Framework of Sustainability Research and Problem-solving Competence is utilized to understand the application, the relevance of the key competencies in sustainability in leadership, as well as the barriers in applying them, to deal with challenges. The conclusions are based on documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The results show the need for all key competencies, with biggest emphasis being put on systems thinking, interpersonal, intrapersonal and implementation. The findings reveal potential enablers and barriers for the organisations in moving society towards sustainability.

Towards people's participation and rural development : the case of Kudumane DistrictBotchway, Samuel Asare 06 1900 (has links)
Traditional development theories concentrated on stimulating economic growth without
considering the extent to which growth would affect rural people's quality of life.
Modernisation has failed to improve life in rural Third World areas.
Current development thinking emphasises the human aspect of development and IS more
inclined towards participatory rural development.
Referring specifically to the Batlharos Water project, the study investigates and identifies the
causes ofthe limited initiatives in participatory development within the Kudumane district in
the North-West Province of South Africa. Trends in the evolution of development thought to
people's participation, including factors, processes and approaches that may facilitate
participatory development in the Kudumane area are discussed. Factors that have affected
and limited earlier participatory initiatives in this area are isolated.
The study concludes that unless rural communities constantly become the planners, initiators
and executors of local development, no real transformation of their lives can be
accomplished. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Administration)
