How enterprises manage strategic stability and change: A qualitative comparative analysis of different enterprise performance groups / Wie Unternehmen strategische Stabilität und notwendige Veränderung managen: Eine qualitative vergleichende Analyse unterschiedlicher Performancegruppen von Unternehmen

Kunadt, Falk 13 January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
In today’s globalized business world enterprises face increasing competition and accompanying internal and external threats that challenge their enterprise strategies. Multiple examples of enterprises show that long-lasting strategies need to be progressively overworked in order to secure competitiveness. One key for long-term competitiveness seems to lie in the ability to find a reasonable ratio of strategic stability and change. Neglecting the tension of strategic stability and change can have fatal consequences. Strategic management research increasingly focuses on this challenge. Lately research on ambidexterity and dynamic capability attempts to explain the underlying issues of proactively balancing strategic tensions in dynamic markets. Yet, there remain a couple of questions that – unanswered – limit the explanatory power of recent research models. Because of conceptual ambiguities around the concepts of ambidexterity and dynamic capabilities, until now it remains unclear how a balance between strategic stability and change is reached and managed, and how the underlying strategic decision and strategic management processes at the organizational level look like. To address these open issues, this work develops an alternative framework of strategic ambidexterity. It is defined as a deliberate mechanism to detect, monitor, steer, coordinate and balance stability and change of the enterprise strategy. It argues that enterprises do not deal with strategic stability and change accidently. Quite on the contrary, the enterprises’ key actors are aware of this challenge and have a mechanism in place that allows them to deliberately and continuously employ the right ratio of strategic stability and change. This deliberate mechanism is assumed to create performance differences. High-performing enterprises have a particular setting of the mechanism that distinguishes them from low-performing peers and that secures their long-term competitiveness. In order to empirically test the mechanism a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) using a sample of 74 mechanical engineering enterprises is performed. As will be shown there are in fact differences between high and low-performing enterprises. The strategic behavior of high-performing enterprises can be classified as Guided Long-Term Inclusive Planning (GLTIP). This work adds new knowledge to the research on ambidexterity and dynamic capabilities and also contributes to the methodological discussion on the analysis of sustainable competitive advantage in today’s globalized and dynamic markets.

Le député prisonnier de sa circonscription : étude de la réactivité des parlementaires au prisme des contraintes institutionnelles et territoriales / The MPs as hostages of their district : An analysis of parliamentary responsiveness through the prism of institutional and territorial constraints

Poyet, Corentin 17 October 2016 (has links)
Cette recherche traite de la réactivité des parlementaires français vis-à-vis de leur circonscription.Ce faisant, notre thèse investit l’aspect dyadique de la représentation politique qui a été largementignoré par la littérature française et offre ainsi un nouveau regard sur la variété des activités desdéputés français tant à Paris qu’en circonscription. En s’inspirant des écrits du néoinstitutionnalismedes choix rationnels, notre thèse vise à mettre en lumière les déterminantsinstitutionnels de la réactivité vis-à-vis de la circonscription ainsi que les logiques qui sous-tendentles pratiques de représentation. En surmontant le descriptivisme de beaucoup d’études à ce sujetet à l’aide de solides matériaux empiriques, nous montrons que le territoire d’élection affectegrandement le comportement des députés tant dans le contenu que sur la forme des activités. Lacirconscription et les attentes différenciées des citoyens agissent de manière systématique sur lamanière dont les députés mènent leur mandat. / This research deals with French MPs responsiveness. This dissertation studies the dyadicrepresentation in the French Assemblée nationale which was largely neglected by scholars. It givesthus a new insight on the diversity of French MPs activities both in Paris and in their district.Following the arguments of the rational choice new institutionalism, our dissertation aims tohighlight the institutional determinants of MPs responsiveness toward their district and the logicsthat underlie their practices of representations. By overcoming the descriptiveness of many studiesand thanks to original and solid empirical data, we show that the characteristics of the districtstrongly affect both the kind and the content of MPs activities. The district and the various citizens’expectations systematically affect the way French MPs conceive their mandate.

台糖開創蝴蝶蘭產業組織新制度分析

黃瀚諄, Huang,Han Chun Unknown Date (has links)
1985年開始,台糖公司在不與民爭利的原則下拓展蝴蝶蘭事業的發展,延續台灣社會對於蝴蝶蘭的喜好與優勢,進行花卉產業之商業化;產業的萌生源於隸屬於國營事業體制下的正式化組織,基於組織中制度企業家之社會技能動員組織中的成員且策動策略變革,而讓組織固有的制度優勢得以發揮,也克服了體制僵化的瓶頸,而成就了蝴蝶蘭產業於台灣甚至在世界的發展。 本研究透過田野調查以及非線性之質化比較方法,試圖分析台糖開創蝴蝶蘭產業組織新制度的建構模式。研究時間點的劃分,主要以1985年蝴蝶蘭產業小型試種至2001年組織邁入新紀元為止。事實上,在制度環境的架構上,台糖公司發展新興產業的抉擇,隨時間而有階段性的選擇,凸顯了新制度理論在制度環境變遷上歷史性之偶然的觀點(Mizruchi et al. 2006)。事實上,台糖公司落實蝴蝶蘭產業之發展並使之商業化,必須透過三個面向予以說明,首先,制度環境上,組織透過鬆散式結合之運作邏輯化解正式化組織過於僵化的運作模式,並藉此運用正式化組織之資源,結合組織內外之正向的制度環境,發展領先的蝴蝶蘭經營與栽培能力。另外,能夠如此地善用組織資源與變革制度環境,關鍵在於推展產業時,組織任用具有社會技能的制度企業家,不僅聯繫組織內外之菁英,也創造了獨特的經營模式。最後,制度能夠逐漸形成,必須觀察個體行動對於制度環境日常生活實踐的情形,台糖公司在產業開創之時,因其農業企業公司之特質具備優異的農業知識,又基於台灣民間蝴蝶蘭知識資源深厚,經由非正式的接觸,創造了蝴蝶蘭知識,也透過互動的模式擴散知識的分享。 / Taiwan Sugar Company developed an Orchid industry in 1985. It turns flower planting into business in order to continue the advantage in Taiwan. The industry originated from State-owned enterprises, which is the formal way of organization. The organization succeeded in developing orchid industry in the world. It helps that there are entrepreneurs who have the social skills to mobilize members and alter strategies in the organization; therefore, the organization can expand these useful institutions and resolve the institutional myth. The study used field research and qualitative comparative analysis to analyze the structural model of the organizational institution when Taiwan Sugar Company initiated orchid industry from 1985 to 2001. In fact, choosing the produce for this developing industry depends on different stages. It appears that the viewpoint of new institutional theory is that institutional transformation is historically contingent (Mizruchi et al. 2006). Actually, there are three levels that Taiwan Sugar Company uses to develop orchid industry and turn flower planting into business. First, the organization is loosely coupled with formal organization in order to resolve inconsistencies. Moreover, it uses the resources of formal organization and links institutional environment. There was positive feedback about becoming a pioneer in managing and planting in the orchid industry. Second, because there are entrepreneurs who have social skills, the organization can use the advantage of resources and institutional environment. It not only connects the people who own high capability in orchid, but also creates special business model. Finally, the study surveys individual action in the institutional environment, in order to research and understand how to form an institution. When Taiwan Sugar Company created the orchid industry, it was a state-owned enterprise and had rich knowledge in agriculture; in addition, there is rich knowledge about orchids in Taiwanese society. From interaction between the members in the organization and farmers in society, it has created knowledge in orchids and diffused the knowledge in the field.

The expansion of sustainability through New Economic Space : Māori potatoes and cultural resilience

Lambert, Simon J. January 2008 (has links)
The return of Māori land to a productive role in the New Economy entails the innovation and diffusion of technologies relevant to the sustainable development of this land. Sustainable development requires substantive changes to current land and resource use to mitigate environmental degradation and contribute to ecological and sociological resilience. Such innovation is emerging in 'New Economic Space' where concerns for cultural resilience have arisen as political-economic strategies of the New Economy converge within a global economic space. New Economic Space comprises policy, technology and institutional innovations that attempt to influence economic activity, thus directly engaging with local 'place-based' expressions of geohistorically unique knowledge and identity. This thesis approaches contemporary Māori development from three perspectives. First, by viewing the changing links between ecosystems and communities as examples of innovation diffusion, the evolution of relevant policies, technologies and institutions can be examined for their impact upon Māori resilience. Second, such innovation diffusion can be described as a form of regional development, acknowledging the integral role of traditional territories in Māori identity and culture as well as the distinct legislative and governance contexts by which this land is developed. Third, by incorporating the geohistorical uniqueness of Māori ideas, values and beliefs, standard concepts of political-economy can be reformulated to show an explicit cultural economy – Māori Traditional Economic Space – in which Māori horticulturalists participate in parallel with the New Economy. Two methods are used in the analysis of the participation by Māori horticulturalists in New Economic Space. Fuzzy set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA) allows the rigorous investigation of small-N studies of limited diversity for their partial membership in nominated sets. This thesis uses fs/QCA to organise theoretical and substantive knowledge of each case study to score its membership in agri-food networks, Māori institutions and post-production strategies, allowing the identification of causal configurations that lead to greater resilience for Māori growers and their communities. The second method is Actor-Network Theory (ANT) that incorporates elements of nature and society, showing the extensive and dynamic entwinement that exists between the two. ANT describes the enrolment of diverse 'actants' by a range of eco-social institutions and the subsequent translation of the resulting assemblages into resilience strategies. The results of this research first show a 'System of Provision' (SOP) in which Māori development strategies converge with non-Māori attempts to expand research and marketing programmes. These programmes seek to implement added-value strategies in supplying novel horticultural products within New Economic Space; parallel 'cultural logics' ensure food is supplied to traditional Māori institutions according to the cultural logics of Māori. In addition to this finding, results also show that the participation of Māori growers in New Economic Space can paradoxically lead to an expansion of the Traditional Economic Space of Māori. This expansion is not simply contingent upon configurations of policy, technology, and institutional innovations that originate in New Economic Space but is directed by Māori cultural logics, located in Māori territories but seeking innovations from an amorphous universal 'core'. The interface between the global New Economy and the localities of a Māori cultural economy is defined by the 'interrogation' of these innovations, and innovators, through eco-cultural institutions in their diffusion to and from Māori land, Māori resources and Māori people. Within the boundaries of this interrogation border resides a malleable assemblage of actants, enrolled by Māori as components of resilience strategies, which can lead to the endurance of Māori culture.

"This money begged here is paid with blood" : A qualitative study of the Romanian beggars' perceptions on their health status before and during begging, and their health maintaining strategies in Uppsala, Sweden

Gaga, Filip Daniel January 2015 (has links)
Introduction The beggars are one the most vulnerable and stigmatized groups in the European society and are determined to live in substandard conditions, characterized by lack of sanitation and overcrowdings, and bare the harsh weather conditions to earn their living. Often, they have limited access to healthcare and their lifestyle has a great impact upon their health. However, little is known about their own perceptions of their health and their strategies to keep it. Aim The aim was to explore the Romanian beggars’ perceptions of their health prior to and during begging, the perceived consequences of begging on their health, and their coping strategies to maintain health while begging in Uppsala, Sweden. Method Data was collected from 8 semi-structured interviews in Uppsala, Sweden during March 2015. The collected data was then analysed using manifest qualitative content analysis. Findings The Romanian beggars in Uppsala perceived their health status to be affected through their activity. Physical consequences involved developing new illnesses and conditions, but also aggravating previous health conditions, and mental consequences included degrading and marginalizing effects of begging, but also harassment from passersby. Access to healthcare in Sweden was limited and determined the beggars to develop alternative strategies for health management or to return to Romania for treatment.     Conclusion The health status was found to be both negatively and positively affected through complex interactions between the individual and the surrounding levels: social network, community, institutions and society. More attention should be given to this group from all levels to improve their health status.

Para isso foi utilizada a metodologia de análise qualitativa comparativa (QCA), em um estudo de múltiplos casos com uma amostra de 14 instituições de ensino superior. A partir da revisão de literatura conceitual e empírica sobre desenvolvimento de novos serviços (NSD), foi testado o modelo de competência e desempenho em NSD dos autores Menor e Roth, 2008. Os resultados forneceram evidências de que o modelo de competência em NSD identificado na literatura internacional também se aplica ao Brasil. Porém o resultado desse estudo aponta casos contraditórios ao modelo que podem ser base para futuras pesquisas. Em especial pela ausência da dimensão de formalização dos processos de NSD nos casos em questão.

Female and Sustainable Entrepreneurship: Practical Implications

Enri Peiró, Sandra 02 September 2024 (has links)
[ES] El objetivo principal de la tesis doctoral es identificar los factores y condiciones que influyen en las mujeres emprendedoras, profundizando en los vínculos establecidos con su iniciativa empresarial sostenible. De esta forma se busca mejorar el entendimiento de las implicaciones de gestión dirigidas a ellas. Dada la fragmentación actual de la literatura en este campo, combinamos diferentes técnicas de análisis que nos permiten enriquecer el estudio y visibilizar las tendencias existentes. En la primera fase, nos centramos en el emprendimiento femenino. Desarrollamos una revisión sistemática de la literatura seguida de un análisis bibliométrico que nos posibilita detectar las principales lagunas de conocimiento y delimitar conceptos emergentes como el crowdfunding. Nuestros resultados señalan el rol de las instituciones y la familia, entre otros factores, y sus conexiones establecidas en la literatura. En la segunda fase de la presente investigación, analizamos la intersección entre emprendimiento femenino y sostenible. Se realiza una combinación de análisis descriptivo y de contenido. Por un lado, los indicadores descriptivos proporcionan una comprensión multidisciplinar actualizada. Por ejemplo, la India se perfila como el país con más publicaciones en la intersección del empresariado femenino-sostenible. Por otra parte, el análisis de contenido mapea clústeres que esbozan las temáticas existentes más relevantes. Pretendemos mostrar cómo la sostenibilidad se entrelaza con la iniciativa empresarial femenina y qué factores la potencian. Dentro de los términos identificados por los clústeres, la innovación, la educación y la multiplicidad del contexto aparecen como elementos cruciales. En la tercera fase, desde una perspectiva empírica, analizamos bajo qué configuraciones causales se promueve la intención emprendedora femenina. Para ello, aplicamos el Análisis Cualitativo Comparativo o Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), utilizando una muestra de 203 profesionales. Los datos obtenidos presentan la actitud hacia la iniciativa empresarial y el compromiso sostenible como variables significativas dado su nivel de consistencia. A partir de los resultados alcanzados, desarrollamos la cuarta fase para dar respuesta al objetivo principal de la tesis doctoral. Nuestro estudio destaca las aportaciones más relevantes, centrándose en los factores clave que infieren el desarrollo de las emprendedoras y sus vínculos sostenibles. Además, proponemos implicaciones específicas de gestión en este campo dirigidas a responsables políticos, futuros investigadores y responsables de la toma de decisiones. En este sentido, reflexionamos sobre el concepto de Educación para el Emprendimiento Sostenible o Education for Sustainable Entrepreneurship (ESE) y la necesidad de adoptar esta perspectiva educativa en escuelas, universidades y centros de formación profesional. En particular, sería interesante introducirla en los programas de formación para emprendedores. Este enfoque puede tener un impacto social positivo y contribuir a mitigar las desigualdades, mejorando así la consecución de las metas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). En esta línea, en torno al concepto holístico de familia, destacamos la utilidad de los programas educativos orientados a la familia de las mujeres emprendedoras, el papel de la innovación inclusiva y el poder de la digitalización. Estos factores pueden promover y facilitar el acceso a los recursos y el mantenimiento de los proyectos empresariales femeninos. Aunque nuestro estudio aporta valiosas orientaciones, es necesario que futuras investigaciones profundicen en el fomento de la innovación y la mejora de la cultura financiera en el marco de la educación de las mujeres emprendedoras. Además, establecemos una agenda de investigación específica para ser más concretos con las vías deseadas. / [CA] L'objectiu principal de la tesi doctoral és identificar els factors i condicions que influeixen en les dones emprenedores, aprofundint en els vincles establerts amb la seua iniciativa empresarial sostenible. D'esta manera es busca millorar l'enteniment de les implicacions de gestió dirigides a elles. Donada la fragmentació actual de la literatura en este camp, combinem diferents tècniques d'anàlisis que ens permeten enriquir l'estudi i visibilitzar les tendències existents. En la primera fase, ens centrem en l'emprenedoria femenina. Desenvolupem una revisió sistemàtica de la literatura seguida d'una anàlisi bibliomètrica que ens permet detectar les principals llacunes de coneixement i delimitar conceptes emergents en este camp com el micromecenatge. Els nostres resultats assenyalen el rol de les institucions i la família, entre altres factors, i les seues connexions establides en la literatura. En la segona fase de la present investigació, analitzem la intersecció entre emprenedoria femenina i sostenible. Es realitza una combinació d'anàlisi descriptiva i de contingut. D'una banda, els indicadors descriptius proporcionen una comprensió multidisciplinària actualitzada. Per exemple, l'Índia es perfila com el país amb més publicacions en la intersecció de l'empresariat femení-sostenible. D'altra banda, l'anàlisi de contingut mapea clústers que esbossen els principals temes existents. Pretenem mostrar com la sostenibilitat s'entrellaça amb la iniciativa empresarial femenina i quins factors la potencien. Dins dels termes identificats pels clústers, la innovació, l'educació i la multiplicitat del context apareixen com a elements crucials. En la tercera fase, des d'una perspectiva empírica, analitzem sota quines configuracions causals es promou la intenció emprenedora femenina. Per a això, apliquem l'Anàlisi Qualitativa Comparativa o Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), utilitzant una mostra de 203 professionals. Les dades obtingudes presenten l' actitud envers la iniciativa empresarial i el compromís sostenible com a variables significatives donat el seu nivell de consistència. A partir dels resultats aconseguits, desenvolupem la quarta fase per a donar resposta a l'objectiu principal de la tesi doctoral. El nostre estudi destaca les aportacions més rellevants, centrant-se en els factors clau que infereixen el desenvolupament de les emprenedores i els seus vincles sostenibles. A més, proposem implicacions específiques de gestió en aquest camp dirigides a responsables polítics, futurs investigadors i responsables de la presa de decisions. En este sentit, reflexionem sobre el concepte d'Educació per a l'Emprenedoria Sostenible o Education for Sustainable Entrepreneurship (ESE) i la necessitat d'adoptar aquesta perspectiva educativa en escoles, universitats i centres de formació professional. En particular, seria interessant introduir-la en els programes de formació per a emprenedors. Este enfocament pot tindre un impacte social positiu i contribuir a mitigar les desigualtats, millorant així la consecució de les metes dels Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible (ODS). En esta línia, entorn del concepte holístic de família, destaquem la utilitat dels programes educatius orientats a la família, el paper de la innovació inclusiva i el poder de la digitalització. Estos factors poden promoure i facilitar l'accés als recursos i el manteniment dels projectes empresarials femenins. Malgrat que el nostre estudi aporta valuoses orientacions, és necessari que futures recerques aprofundeixin en el foment de la innovació i la millora de la cultura financera en el marc de l'educació de les dones emprenedores. A més, establim una agenda de recerca específica per a ser més concrets amb les vies desitjades. / [EN] The main objective of the doctoral thesis is to identify the factors and conditions that influence female entrepreneurs, deepening the ties to their sustainable entrepreneurial spirit. In this way, we aim to improve the understanding of the managerial implications addressed to them. Given the current fragmentation of the literature in this field, we combine different techniques of analysis that allow us to enrich the study and shed light on existing trends. In the first phase, the focus is set on female entrepreneurship. We developed a systematic literature review followed by a bibliometric analysis that allows us to detect main knowledge gaps and delimit emerging concepts such as crowdfunding. Our results uncover the role of institutions and family, among other factors, and their connections in women entrepreneurs' literature. In the second phase of this research, we analyze the intersection between female and sustainable entrepreneurship. A combination of descriptive and content analysis is conducted. On the one hand, descriptive indicators provide an up-to-date multidisciplinary understanding. For instance, India is outlined as the country with the most publications at the intersection of female-sustainable entrepreneurship. On the other hand, the content analysis maps clusters outlining the main existing topics. We seek to show how sustainability is intertwined with female entrepreneurship and which factors enhance it. Within the terms identified by the clusters, innovation, education, and the multiplicity of the context appear as crucial elements. In the third phase, from an empirical angle, we analyze under which causal configurations female entrepreneurial intention is promoted. Therefore, we applied Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) using a sample of 203 professionals. In this vein, perceived attitude towards entrepreneurship and sustainable commitment are presented as significant variables, given their level of consistency. Based on the results obtained, we develop the fourth phase to provide an answer to the main objective of the doctoral thesis. Our study highlights the most relevant contributions, focusing on the key factors inferring female entrepreneurs' development and their sustainable ties. Then, we propose specific managerial implications in this field addressed to policymakers, future researchers, and decision-makers. We reflect on the Education for Sustainable Entrepreneurship (ESE) concept and the need to adopt this educational perspective in schools, universities and professional training centres. In particular, it would be interesting to introduce it in entrepreneurship training programmes. This approach may have a positive social impact and help mitigate inequalities, thus improving the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets. In this vein, around the holistic concept of family, we outline the usefulness of family-oriented educational initiatives, the role of inclusive innovation and the power of digitalization. These factors can promote and facilitate access to resources and the maintenance of women's entrepreneurial projects. Although our study provides valuable guidance, there is a need for future research to delve deeper into fostering innovation and improving financial literacy in the framework of education for female entrepreneurs. Furthermore, we set out a specific research agenda to be more specific with the desired pathways. / Enri Peiró, S. (2024).
