Key Success Factors for End-User Adoption of 5G Technology Within a Low-Middle Income Country : A case study in Malaysia / Nyckelfaktorer för möjliggörandet av 5G teknologier bland slutanvändare inom ett låg- medelinkomstlandOlofsgård, Markus, Göransson, Philip January 2022 (has links)
Recent breakthroughs within technology and data science have initiated talks of a new emerging industrial revolution, being the fourth of its kind. This revolution, titled as Industry 4.0, implies further digitalization with AI and machine learning helping pave the way for improved robotic interconnection, decentralized decisions and linking the physical world with the virtual world. An important enabler for the transformation is 5G which will allow higher data speed, lower latency of communication, and improved network resilience, compared to its precursor 4G. That being said, a successful 5G rollout and adoption is not an easy task, especially for low-middle income countries. The 5G technology and the innovations it enables, could act as major economical catalysts for these countries and thus it is important to understand the potential barriers they are facing. To help clarify the matter, this study included a conduction of semi-structured interviews with some of the most important actors in the Malaysian 5G ecosystem. The ambition was to uncover the biggest barriers impeding the adoption of 5G technologies, as well as key enabling factors accelerating it. The results showed that low fibre infrastructure development, obscure pricing of 5G spectrum, high trait of complexity among 5G technology and associated innovations, customer unawareness, potential hampering of innovation due to a Single Wholesale Network approach (SWN), and a “Chicken or Egg”-dilemma between infrastructure providers and 5G application providers, represent the main barriers for a successful 5G implementation in Malaysia. At the same time, enabling factors such as a strong governmental backing, increased demand amongst end-users, high competitiveness of the telecommunication industry, and the SWN potentially mitigating the "Chicken or Egg"-dilemma were also identified and presented. An external validity assessment showed that most of the barriers could also be applied to neighbouring countries within the Southeast Asia region, providing practical implications for policy makers and industry actors working with the adoption of 5G technology within low-middle income countries. / De senaste genombrotten inom teknik och datavetenskap har föranlett diskussioner om närmandet av en ny industriell revolution, som blir den fjärde av sitt slag. Denna revolution som har fått tituleringen ”Industry 4.0”, väntas innebära ytterligare framsteg inom digitalisering med hjälp av AI och maskininlärning, vilket banar vägen för förbättrad robotkoppling, decentraliserade beslut och sammanlänkning av den fysiska och virtuella världen. En viktig delkomponent för denna transformation är 5G som väntas möjliggöra högre datahastighet, lägre kommunikationsfördröjning och förbättrad nätverkselasticitet jämfört mot sin föregångare 4G. En framgångsrik utrullning av 5G är dock inte en lätt uppgift, särskilt för låg- och medelinkomstländer. Tekniken bakom 5G och de innovationer den möjliggör, kan agera viktiga ekonomiska katalysatorer för dessa länder och därför blir det viktigt att förstå de potentiella hinder som de står inför. För att bättre förstå problemet genomfördes i den här studien semistrukturerade intervjuer med några av de viktigaste aktörerna i Malaysias 5G-ekosystem. Ambitionen var att avslöja de största hindren som hämmar införandet av 5G-teknik, samt viktiga möjliggörande faktorer som påskyndar denna process. Resultaten visade att låg fiberutveckling, oviss prissättning av 5G-spektrum, hög komplexitet bland 5G-teknik och tillhörande innovationer, kundomedvetenhet, potentiella innovationshämningar till följd av en ”Single Wholesale Network”-strategi (SWN) samt ett "Kyckling eller ägg"-dilemma mellan infrastrukturleverantörer och leverantörer av 5G-applikationer, utgör de främsta barriärerna för en framgångsrik 5G-utrullning i Malaysia. Samtidigt identifierades de viktigaste möjliggörande faktorerna som statligt stöd, ökad efterfrågan bland slutanvändare, den höga konkurrenskraften inom telekommunikationsindustrin samt SWN-strategins potentiellt positiva påverkan på "Kyckling eller ägg"-dilemmat. En extern validitetsbedömning visade att de flesta av barriärerna även kunde tillämpas på närliggande inom Sydostasien, vilket genererade praktiska implikationer för beslutsfattare och branschaktörer som arbetar med införandet av 5G-teknik inom låg-och medelinkomstländer.

Verksamhetsstyrning i utbildningssektorn : Ett möjliggörande och tvingande perspektiv / Performance Management in education sector : An enabeling and coercive perspectiveCombler, Johan, Kuylenstierna, Wilhelm, Alkour, Khaled January 2022 (has links)
Tidigare forskning inom verksamhetsstyrning har fokuserat mestadels på finansiell drivna företag med hierarkisk styrning. Där den grundläggande tanken till verksamhetsstyrningen kommer från David Otleys ramverk från 1999 men har senare utvecklas. Med bland annat mer tydlighet i kommunikation och styrning mellan ledning och anställda. Det teoretiska ramverket som har används är Borys & Adlers ramverk från 1996 om möjliggörande och tvingande kontroll och som innehåller fyra attribut: reparation, intern transparens, global transparens och flexibilitet. Den datan som samlades in är insamlad med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med lärare som jobbar på grundskolor eller gymnasieskolor i syfte att ge inblick i hur de upplever verksamhetsstyrning. Lärarna kände att de fick lösa mång problem som uppstår självständigt och endast ifall det var något större och som inte lärarna enskilt kunde lösa så kopplades andra resurser och chefer in som stöd. Lärarna var autonoma i deras egna arbete och tyckte att kompetensutveckling bidrog till kunskaper som gynnade dem i deras yrkesutövning och därmed den interna transparensen. Lärarna hade även en organisationskännedom i form av samspel med kollegor med till exempel planering av ämnesöverskridande uppgifter. Det fanns även en möjliggörande flexibilitet i lärarnas arbete. / Earlier research within Management Control systems had focused on mostly the financially controlled companies with typical hierarchical guidance. There the main research thought about this type of management control or performance control system is coming from David Otley´s framework from 1999 but the framework has been further developed by him and other researchers. With, among other things, more clarity in communication and control between management and employees. The theoretical framework that has been used under this thesis research is Borys & Adlers framework from 1996 about enable and coercive control which includes four different attributes which are: repair, internal transparency, global transparency, and flexibility. The data was collected in semi-structured interviews with teachers that work at primary or secondary schools with the purpose of achieving insight into how they feel about the performance management control. The teachers felt that they needed to solve many of the problems that appeared by themself and only if the problem was too big or complex for them alone did they take help of other resources or the school management at the schools for support. The teachers were autonomous in their work and thought that competence development contributed to the knowledge that benefited them in their professional practice and therefore contributed to internal transparency. The teachers also had organizational knowledge in terms of interaction with their colleagues with, for example, the planning of cross-disciplinary courses. There was also enabling flexibility in the teachers' work. / <p>Arbetet skickades in till examinator 13/1-2022.</p><p></p>

Understanding resilience and coping in child-headed households in Mutasa District, ZimbabweKapesa, Mary Joyce 09 1900 (has links)
Text in English / Zimbabwe had 50 000 child-headed households (CHH) in 2002 and by 2010, the figure had gone up to more than 100 000, making Zimbabwe the African country with the highest number of CHH (UNICEF & UNAIDS 2010). These statistics gave rise to the sprouting of many organisations and programmes aimed at catering for the needs of the affected children. Not much attention is given to what the CHH can do for themselves and how they have be surviving without outside help. The present study explored the resilience factors and coping strategies used by children living in CHH in the Mutasa District, Zimbabwe. The mixed method concurrent triangulation design was used in the study and a constructionist theoretical framework was adopted. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data from 28 children in CHH, 46 community members, 24 teachers, 25 child service professionals, 10 advisory panel members, 3 government officials involved in policy formulation and implementation and 5 members of the CHH’s extended family. The Resilience Scale was administered to the CHH and the Tree of Life and problem solving activities were carried out with the children. Resilience scores obtained from the children in CHH were in the high to very high category of resilience. The qualitative data was thematically analysed. The research findings indicate that children in CHH use problem focused coping strategies. Their resilience is anchored in both individual and environmental factors. A Bidirectional Model of Resilience that is based on the findings emerged from the study.Three pathways to resilience that are embedded in this model were identified, furthermore the Self-Efficacy Strengths-Focused Model of Coping was proposed. Intervention strategies to foster resilience in CHH should focus on creating coping enabling environments and strengthening individual characteristics. / Psychology / Ph.D. (Psychology)

Who are we and what do we measure? : A case study of the dynamic relationship between performance measurement and organizational identityKällgren, Marcus, Vejbrink Kildal, Adrian January 2022 (has links)
Performance measurements have been described as a tool by which management can communicate expected standards of behavior as well as a shared meaning among members regarding the intended direction of the firm. In parallel, the organizational identity field relies on the premise that members can answer the question “who are we as an organization?” through a sense of shared understanding. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the implications a performance measurement system has on the employees’ perception of “who we are“, related to the theoretical framework of organizational identity. This paper utilizes a qualitative research method, a case-based approach of a Swedish life science company which is conducted in an exploratory manner. The case company is chosen due to its contextual setting regarding the newly implemented performance measurement system, along with the inherent characteristics of the industry in general, which is typically considered to be incongruent with such quantitative measurements. The empirical data is collected through eight interviews with members from the chosen case company, as well as through internal documents describing its performance measurement system. The authors propose a revised theoretical framework in which performance measurements and organizational identity are investigated through a conceptual model which explores their dynamic relationship. The findings reinforce well-known ideas of performance measurements and organizational identity, along with providing new insights on the dynamics between them. Keywords: Organizational Identity, Performance Measurement System, Performance Management, Identity-Dynamics
