Syftet med denna komparativa, enkätbaserade studie var att synliggöra eventuella skillnader i uppfattningen om processen för bedömning av lärares prestationer hos skolledare i några skolor i Sverige och på några internationella skolor. I litteratur-genomgången gick jag igenom ett antal faktorer alt. delmoment som skulle kunna stödja en systematisk utvärderingsprocess och jag placerade in lärarutvärdering som ett led i skolutvecklingsarbete, ett led i den enskilde lärarens professionsutveckling och ett verktyg som stöd för att individuell lönesättning (på de skolor där lön/anställnings-kontrakt kopplas till prestation). Sex olika förutsättningar för utvärdering av lärare presenterades, vilka kopplades till ett systematiskt arbete med lärarutvärdering på skolor. Utifrån dessa ställde jag upp två utgångspunkter, vilka jag avsåg att utvärdera genom denna enkätundersökning: att skolenheter som har en tydlig vision/mission/värdegrund har en mer strukturerad process för bedömning av lärares individuella prestationer och att skolledarna på de internationella skolorna som deltar i undersökningen genomför en mer systematisk utvärdering av lärarnas arbete. Enkäten skickades ut till 94 skolledare genom ett bekvämlighetsurval, med en svarsfrekvens på 38 (40 %). Resultaten visar att den första utgångspunkten inte kunde styrkas genom resultaten men däremot visar det sig att de deltagande skolledarna på de internationella skolorna arbetar något mer systematiskt med lärarutvärdering. Några av de områden där de skiljer sig från de svenska skolledarna i sina svar och som är potentiella utvecklingsområden i det pedagogiska skolledarskapet är utbildning i ämnet, processinriktad utvärdering och tid ägnad åt detta, frekvensen i användandet av observationer/lektionsbesök i utvärderingsprocessen, en tydlig struktur för utvärderingsarbetet och systematik för dokumentation om lärarnas arbete. Utifrån resultaten ser jag en risk att skolledare saknar ett systematiskt och strategiskt förhållningssätt och kunskap om lärarutvärderingar både vad gäller varför, vad, hur och när de ska göras. Kanske gör de bedömningar av lärares individuella prestationer mest på en höft, går på känslan, saknar underlag, utgår från personliga relationer och fattar ad hoc beslut. Vad detta innebär för skolutvecklingsprocessen måste utredas vidare. / The purpose of this comparative, online survey was to bring forth any differences in the perception of the process around teacher performance evaluation among school leaders of a few public schools in Sweden and of a few international schools. In the literature review a number of factors and modules were presented that could support a good systematic evaluation process and I positioned teacher assessment within the frame of school development, within the frame of individual teacher professional development and as a tool to support individual salary systems (at schools were salary and/or contracts are connected to performance). Six main presumptions were put forward concerning teacher assessment, which were connected to a systematic approach to teacher evaluations.  Based on these, two main assumptions were made and aimed to be evaluated through the survey; that schools with a clear vision/mission/value statement have a more structured process for individual teacher assessment and that the participating international school leaders have a more systematic evaluation process for teacher assessment. The survey was sent out to 94 school leaders chosen through a convenience sample, with a response rate of 38 (40 %). The results from this study do not support the first assumption but do show that the school leaders at the represented international schools have a somewhat more systematic work process for teacher assessment. Some of the areas were differences are present and that can be considered potential development areas within the pedagogic leadership are: education about teacher assessment, a process orientated assessment system and time spent on this process, the frequency in usage of lesson observations during the assessment process, a clear structure for the assessment process and the use of a systematic method to document collected data. Based on the results I see a risk that school leaders lack a systematic and strategic approach and knowledge about teacher assessment both considering the why, the what, the how and the when it should be conducted. Maybe they judge teachers’ individual achievements based on coincidence, feeling, limited information, and personal relationship and/or make ad hoc decisions. How this effects school development needs to be researched further.

Those fixed-term, competitive and highly networked programs offer a wide array of resources, services and connections to participant companies. However, the business acceleration phenomenon remains scarcely studied considering the newness of the phenomenon and the availability of usable data, especially at national level. This study proposes an exploratory study of early-stage company acceleration in France and asks the question of what are the characteristics and differences of the French acceleration ecosystem in comparison with other ecosystems. The study is built upon a survey distributed among French accelerators in the country. The study shows strong evidence of a specific logic of company acceleration in France marked by a higher relative importance of accelerators in the ecosystem, contrasting with a lack of maturity of accelerators. This translates into a higher relative number of accelerators, a lower share of for-profit accelerators, strong variance in the portfolio of resources and services, including lower levels of investment end equity ownership by accelerators in the country. / A aceleração de empresas novas, enquanto um fenômeno bastante recente, surge cada vez mais como ume opção atraente para os fundadores de startups e está se tornando um elementochave do ecossistema global de empreendedorismo. Esses programas de prazo fixo, competitivos e bem ligados com outros atores da economia oferecem uma ampla gama de recursos, serviços e conexões para empresas participantes. No entanto, o fenômeno da aceleração de startups continua sendo pouco estudado considerando a novidade do fenômeno e a disponibilidade reduzida de dados, especialmente ao nível nacional. Este trabalho propõe um estudo exploratório da aceleração de empresas novas na França e interroga quais são as características e diferenças do ecossistema de aceleração francês em comparação com outros ecossistemas no mundo. O estudo é baseado em uma pesquisa distribuída entre aceleradores franceses no país. O estudo mostra evidências de uma lógica específica de aceleração de empresas novas na França, marcada por uma maior importância relativa dos aceleradores no ecossistema, contrastando com a falta de maturidade dos aceleradores. Isso se traduz em um maior número de aceleradores, uma menor participação de aceleradores com fins lucrativos, uma forte variação na gama de recursos e serviços oferecidos, incluindo níveis mais baixos de investimento e de participação dos aceleradores no capital das empresas aceleradas.

Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The extension of the school day implies changes in the pedagogical and administrative organization of the educational institution, through a process that involves the functioning of the existing daily practices. The present paper proposes to find answers to the following question: What needs to be reconsidered in the organization of the pedagogical work after the implementation of the More Education Program (PME) in full-time school? The study was motivated mainly by the interest in investigating how the school that extends its daily school day was conceived in terms of the governmental policies that instituted in Brazil the SME. The aim is to verify to what extent the political presuppositions of the SME, the pedagogical hypotheses of the theoretical field and the school practices present coherences and contradictions in their relations. Thus, the research has as general objective to analyze the organizational and pedagogical development of the More Education Program at the Municipal School Elias Montalvão. Specifically, it aims to: (1) identify the educational and political dimensions expressed in the Articulated Action Plan (PAR), the School Development Plan (PDE-Escola) and the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP); (2) to analyze the organizational and pedagogical development foundations in the PPP and its relation with the SME; (3) to explain the progress and challenges of the SME, based on the views of the SME coordinator and the school council of the school investigated. The methodological course used was the qualitative research, characterized as a case study. As strategies and instruments of data collection, we used: documentary analysis and structured interviews. For the analysis of the data, the content analysis method was employed. The empirical information is evidenced by the PME coordinator's views through individual interview and the school council through a press conference, based on four indicators: dialogue, pedagogical assumptions, didactic materials and the effects of the program in schools. The research presents as a result the reading and the interpretation of the organizational and pedagogical dimensions of a full time school of the Municipal Public School of Education of Aracaju. / A ampliação da jornada escolar implica mudanças na organização pedagógica e administrativa da instituição de ensino, mediante um processo que envolve o funcionamento das práticas cotidianas existentes. O presente trabalho propõe-se a encontrar respostas para a seguinte questão: O que precisa ser reconsiderado na organização do trabalho pedagógico após a implementação do Programa Mais Educação (PME) na escola em tempo integral? O estudo foi motivado, principalmente, pelo interesse em investigar como a escola que amplia a sua jornada diária escolar foi concebida em termos das políticas governamentais que instituíram no Brasil o PME. Pretende-se verificar em que medida os pressupostos políticos do PME, as hipóteses pedagógicas do campo teórico e as práticas escolares apresentam coerências e contradições em suas relações. Dessa forma, a pesquisa tem como objetivo geral analisar o desenvolvimento organizacional e pedagógico do Programa Mais Educação na Escola Municipal Elias Montalvão. Especificamente, objetiva-se: (1) identificar as dimensões políticas e pedagógicas escolares expressas no Plano de Ações Articuladas (PAR), Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola (PDE-Escola) e o Projeto Político Pedagógico (PPP); (2) analisar os fundamentos do desenvolvimento organizacional e pedagógico presentes no PPP e sua relação com o PME; (3) explicitar os avanços e desafios do PME, a partir dos olhares da coordenadora do PME e do Conselho Escolar da escola investigada. O percurso metodológico utilizado foi a pesquisa qualitativa, caracterizada como estudo de caso. Como estratégias e instrumentos de coleta de dados, foram utilizados: a análise documental e entrevistas estruturadas. Para a análise dos dados, foi empregado o método de análise de conteúdo. As informações empíricas são evidenciadas pelos olhares da coordenadora do PME através de entrevista individual e do Conselho Escolar através de entrevista coletiva, com base em quatro indicadores: o diálogo, os pressupostos pedagógicos, os materiais didáticos e os efeitos do programa nas escolas. A pesquisa apresenta como resultado a leitura e a interpretação das dimensões organizacionais e pedagógicas de uma escola em tempo integral da Rede Pública Municipal de Ensino de Aracaju.

Ämnet för uppsatsen grundar sig i en ökad efterfrågan av att kunna införa teknik och informationsteknik (IT), som är testad och anpassad för en verksamhet redan innan införandet. Vidare finns det ett behov av att, genom nya innovationer, uppnå långsiktiga strategiska mål inom vård och omsorg. Därför har Sveriges innovationsmyndighet Vinnova startat en satsning på testbäddar inom vård och omsorg. En testbädd kan liknas vid en innovations- och testmiljö där samarbete mellan vårdpersonal, företag och forskning kan ske för att ta fram produkter, processer och tjänster som är anpassade till den miljö där dessa sedan ska tillämpas. Denna studie berör hur utveckling och organisering av en innovations- och testmiljö kan gå till och vilka utmaningar som finns. Vidare tar vi upp intressenters roller och behov i utvecklingen samt hur innovation kan stimuleras i en organisation. Detta har genomförts med hjälp av en fallstudie kring utvecklingen av en testbädd i Landstinget i Östergötland (LIÖ). Teorier inom områdena intressenter, utveckling och innovation används för att stödja analysen och skapa förståelse för vissa begrepp. Den empiriska undersökningen utförs genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med representanter från olika intressentgrupper till testbädd LIÖ. Analysen genomförs även med hjälp av dokumentstudier som en del i den empiriska undersökningen. Det empiriska materialet diskuteras i relation till den teoretiska referensramen för att uppnå ett kunskapsbidrag i form av en slutsats. Denna berör hur en innovations- och testmiljö kan utvecklas och organiseras, intressenternas roll och behov i utvecklingen samt hur innovationer kan genereras och utvecklas i organisationer. Med fallets hjälp kan praktiken ge ny kunskap om dessa områden inför kommande utvecklingsprojekt av liknande karaktär. / The topic of this paper is based on an increased demand for the introduction of technology and information technology (IT), which is better tested and adapted for a business before the implementation. Furthermore, there is a need that through new innovations, achieve long-term strategic objectives in the care sector. Therefore, the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova started a venture in test beds in healthcare. A test bed can be likened to an innovation and testing environment. In these, collaboration between healthcare professionals, businesses and research is done to develop products, processes and services that are adapted to the environment in which they are then applied. This study concerns the development and organization of an innovation- and testing environment and what the challenges are. It also concerns the roles and the needs of the stakeholders in the development and how innovation can be achieved in an organization. This has been studied by a case concerning the development of the testbed LIÖ in Östergötland County Council. Theories in the fields of stakeholders, development and innovation are used to support the analysis around these parts, and to create an understanding of some concepts. The empirical study is carried out through semi-structured interviews with representatives from various stakeholder groups to testbed LIÖ. The analysis is also carried out with the help of document studies as part of the empirical investigation. The empirical data are discussed in relation to the theoretical framework for achieving a knowledge contribution in the form of a conclusion. This affects how an innovation and test environment can be developed and organized, stakeholder roles and needs of the development and how innovations can be generated and developed in organizations. The study of the case can provide new knowledge in these areas for future development projects of similar nature.

El fútbol peruano atraviesa una crisis institucional, económica y deportiva a consecuencia de la informalidad con la que han sido gestionados los clubes deportivos locales. Sin embargo, no se necesita ir muy lejos para comprobar que las entidades deportivas, gestionadas adecuadamente, y adaptando herramientas del ?management? a sus modelos de negocio, entre los que destaca la comunicación corporativa, han logrado convertirse en instituciones sólidas, reputadas y exitosas. En ese sentido, resulta preciso advertir cuál es el valor que se le da al corporate en dos de los clubes de fútbol más sólidos del campeonato local (Sporting Cristal y la Universidad San Martín de Porres); del mismo modo, es oportuno conocer la forma en la que se viene desarrollando la comunicación en ambas instituciones; lo cual permitirá realizar una primera aproximación al estado de esta importante herramienta del management en las entidades deportivas nacionales. / Trabajo de investigación

Ledare vill att medarbetare skall vara engagerade i sitt arbete och i organisationen som helhet. Ett sätt att uppnå detta är att arbeta utifrån ett styrkebaserat förhållningssätt vilket har flera positiva effekter i organisationer såsom att behålla medarbetare och öka lönsamheten. Utgångspunkten i detta är att fokusera på styrkor och möjligheter istället för svagheter och problem. Trots att tidigare forskning har visat att ett styrkebaserat förhållningssätt är effektivt har inga studier undersökt vilka faktorer som påverkar om en organisation använder sig av metoden eller inte. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka vad som gör att vissa organisationer väljer att arbeta utifrån ett styrkebaserat förhållningssätt och andra inte samt vad som krävs för att lyckas med implementeringen. Detta har utforskats genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem specialister inom området. Därefter gjordes en tematisk analys av resultatet. Studien visade att många inom organisationer har en positiv inställning till det styrkebaserade förhållningssättet när de får höra om det men att det är få som känner till det. Skulle det styrkebaserade förhållningssättet och dess effekter vara mer kända skulle detta förhållningssätt kunna tänkas vara mer etablerat i organisationer. Att många fokuserar på problem och svagheter framför möjligheter och styrkor beror på fostran i problembaserade tankebanor. För att lyckas med implementeringen behöver organisationen vara mogen för förändring samt genomföra en bedömning av sitt utgångsläge. Eftersom ett styrkebaserat förhållningssätt passar i alla organisationer men inte alla situationer behöver organisationen klargöra hur utvecklingen ska se ut i sin organisation. Det kräver ett tydligt mål med implementeringen samt att ledningen står bakom initiativet och driver hela förändringsprocessen tillsammans med medarbetarna. Studien visade också att det är av stor vikt att ha uthållighet och genomföra hela processen utan genvägar.

The quality of a communication in every organization is shown in a level of management and influence the relationship among co-workers. All at once has an impact to general organization habit and undermines the processes. Leaving the old concept of a management of organization, considering communication as a direction flow, leads to raise an awareness of a communication process itself as well as of its conditions. The diagnostic helps to recognize the current situation and identify the problematic processes displayed in a communication process flow. The theoretical part of this dissertation is devoted to the topic of an Organization and its development with reference to communication. This supports the empirical part of the dissertation where the diagnostic of an organization realized in non-profit market segment organization is presented. The research work is focusing on two communication layers and brings the knowledge of either a communication process or its significant aspects as of management, organizing, planning and working processes. The recommendation for either optimization or change follows after identifying the problematic processes of a communication. The communication is apprehended in wider concept of an organization development which becomes a real improvement for examined kind of...

Despite the increased rate of women in the workplace and more women acquiring advance degrees, there are still barriers in the workplace that hinders the advancement of women. The focus of this qualitative study was first to understand the perceptions and beliefs of six female managers' experiences during the developmental process of an all-female mentoring program. The second focus was to provide information on the importance of mentoring in the development and advancement of women in the workplace. Utilizing a phenomenological methodology, a descriptive approach was employed to examine and describe the thought processes and subjective views of the participants' role, understanding, and expectation of the program development. The purpose of this applied dissertation was to examine and describe from the participants' perspectives the factors that hindered the successful development of the mentoring program. Based on the analysis of the data collected from the semi-structured interviews, four themes emerged: (a) purpose for mentoring program development, (b) perception of barriers to mentoring program development, (c) perception of management role in program development, and (d) perception of program outcome. The data collected as a result of this study revealed five findings: (a) mentoring programs are an important human resource intervention, (b) the lack of top management support and commitment adversely affected the successful development of the mentoring program, (c) the successful development of a mentoring program requires the clear establishment of the program goals and objectives, (d) research does not fully support the findings that women in senior positions will advocate for women in lower ranking positions, and (e) the top management role is an essential component in the continued success of mentoring programs. This study offers insight into female managers' perceptions of the barriers that affect mentoring program development and insight into the development of successful mentoring program.

Utgångspunkten för studien var att Kriminalvården fick kritik från barnrättskommittén när det gäller barn till föräldrar som är frihetsberövade. Kritiken riktades bl. a. mot att barn dels reser långt för att besöka sin förälder samt dels att barn som reser långt inte med automatik får förlänga besökstiden på vissa anstalter. Uppsatsen har samtidigt pekat på utmaningar och viktiga förutsättningar för att beakta barnkonventionen inom kriminalvården. I ett svenskt sammanhang, efter att barnkonventionen blivit lag i Sverige 2020, har organisationsutvecklingen med avseende på uppfyllande av barns rättigheter inom den offentliga sektorn varit relativt outforskad. Uppsatsen fyller förhoppningsvis en del av den kunskapsluckan. Syftet med denna studie är att visa hur Kriminalvården utvecklats med avseende på uppfyllande av barnkonventionen. Frågeställningarna fokuserar på hur kriminalvården förbättrar sin verksamhet genom att ständigt beakta barnkonventionen vid ärende som rör barn. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ studie. Datainsamlingen till denna studie skedde genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer, nio respondenter som är barnombud på olika nivåer i hierarkin i region väst deltog. Studien visar att Kriminalvården styr sina processer centralt uppifrån genom att informera om lagstiftning och nationella riktlinjer för att förmedla hur barnkonventionen ska beaktas i regioner och lokala enheter. Sedan tolkar varje enhet riktlinjerna på det sättet som passar verksamheten såsom häkte, anstalt eller frivård. Studien visar att det krävs mer samarbete mellan olika myndigheter för att främja arbetet mot barnets bästa. Enligt studien räcker det dock inte med att beakta barnkonventionen i handböckerna eller genom utbildningar utan det ska finnas ett personligt engagemang hos medarbetarna om de ska anses vara kundorienterade. / The starting point for the study was that the Swedish Prison and Probation Service received criticism from the Committee on the Rights of the Child when it comes to children of parents who are deprived of their liberty, criticism that children travel far to visit their parents, and criticism that children who travel far may not automatically extend their visit to certain institutions. At the same time, research has pointed to challenges and important conditions for considering the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the prison service. In a Swedish context, after the Convention on the Rights of the Child becomes law in Sweden in 2020, the organizational development with regard to fulfilling children's rights in the public sector has been relatively unexplored. The research aims to fill part of that knowledge gap. The purpose of the study is to see how the Swedish Prison and Probation Service develops with regard to compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The issues focus on how the prison service improves its activities in order to constantly consider the Convention on the Rights of the Child in matters concerning children. The study was conducted through a qualitative study. Data collection for this study was done through semi-structured interviews, nine respondents who are children's representatives at different levels in the hierarchy in the region west. The study shows that the Swedish Prison and Probation Service controls processes centrally from above by informing legislation, national guidelines for communicating how the Convention on the Rights of the Child is taken into account to regions and then to local units. Then each unit interprets the guidelines in the way that suits the unit type, such as detention, institution, or probation. The study shows that more cooperation is needed between different authorities to promote work for the best interests of the child. According to the study, however, it is not enough to consider children's conventions in the handbooks or through training, but there must be a personal commitment on the part of employees considered customer-oriented. / <p>2021-06-11</p>

The purpose of this study is to examine what happens when design thinking is used to create a leadership development program, increase leadership competencies, and participants perceptions of design thinking. This study uses action research to examine the experiences and design thinking to create a leadership program in a formal hierarchical. This study collected data during a two-cycle action research process. The findings from this study revealed that design thinking can be used to create a formal leadership development program. The ability to use design thinking’s human centered design can also help increase the leadership competencies of trust and collaborations. Additionally, despite early concerns participants enjoyed using design thinking in this study yet concerns remain about adopting it into core work. These findings have important implications for formal organizations exploring the ability to increase leadership development programs, leadership competencies, and organizational innovation.
