Mobile Money in developing markets : What should Mobile Money providers consider when trying to drive activity from the already registered user base?

Fallah, Milad, Luo, Johanna January 2014 (has links)
For the past decade, there has been many innovations made to the mobile phone and new features such as payments have been added to the mobile phone’s capabilities. East Africa is the region with the fastest uptake and highest adoption rates of mobile money in the world. Despite the success, the amount of active users of mobile money is still low in comparison to the number of registered users. The purpose of this master thesis is to analyze what mobile money providers should consider when trying to drive activity from the already registered user base. The main theoretical concept that was used is resource-based view and the analytical framework is an importance-effort matrix. The empirical study consisted of in-depth interviews with key experts and stakeholders from the mobile money industry. Most of the interviews were face-to-face interviews during a research trip to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The findings were then reviewed during the Mobile Money Africa 2014 conference in South Africa. This thesis has identified a number of reasons for low user activity of the registered user base together with strategies that has the potential to tackle them. In order to drive activity, it is important for the service provider to understand and consider what that is desired and required to possess in terms of tangible, intangible and human resources to be able to successfully implement and run the identified strategies. The study concludes that tangible resources (physical and financial resources) are of great important for enabling success of most of the identified strategies whereas intangible (intellectual property, reputation and culture) and human (skills and knowledge, communication and interaction, and motivation) resources have great variance of importance. / Under det senaste decenniet har det skett många innovationer till mobiltelefonen och nya funktioner som mobilbetalningar har lagts till. Östafrika är den region med den snabbast växande adoptionen och högsta utnyttjandegraden av mobilbetalningar i världen. Trots regionens framgångar är det dock fortfarande få aktiva användare av mobilbetalningar i förhållande till antalet registrerade användare. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysera vad mobilbetalningsleverantörer bör tänka på när man försöker driva aktivitet från den registrerade användarbas. Det teoretiska ramverket har byggts huvudsakligen på resource-based view och den analytiska modell som används är en viktighet-instats-matris. Den empiriska studien bestod av ingående intervjuer med nyckelpersoner och intressenter från mobilbetalningsindustrin. Majoriteten av intervjuerna utfördes på plats med intervjuobjekten under en forskningsresa till Kenya, Uganda och Tanzania. Resultaten utvärderades därefter under Mobile Money Africa 2014 konferensen i Sydafrika. Denna studie har identifierat ett antal anledningar som orsakar låg användaraktivitet av den registrerade användarbasen och strategier som har möjlighet att angripa dessa anledningar. För att driva aktivitet, är det viktigt att mobilbetalningsleverantörerna förstår vad för materiella, immateriella och mänskliga resurser som är önskvärda samt krävs för att framgångsrikt kunna genomföra och driva de identifierade strategierna. I studien dras slutsatsen att materiella resurser (fysiska och finansiella resurser) är av stor betydelse för att möjliggöra framgång av de flesta identifierade strategier medan viktigheten för immateriella (immaterialrätt, rykte och kultur) och mänskliga (kompetens och kunskap, kommunikation och interaktion, och motivation) resurser varierar.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Tony de Oliveira Figueiredo.pdf: 3843318 bytes, checksum: a1fa743767aa3a8a863d66ad3b43e64e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014 / Mestrado Profissional em Enfermagem Assistencial / Situação Problema: há uma tendência na gestão de pessoas, no qual a ênfase está no “Capital Humano”. Nesse modelo as pessoas são consideradas como capital, pois agrega valor as organizações. Observa-se que a ausência de um sistema informatizado de indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem parece não oferecer subsídios suficientes aos gerentes para fundamentar sua prática, bem como condutas e tomadas de decisão. A informação sobre recursos humanos em saúde no Brasil ainda é incipiente, existindo uma lacuna no conhecimento produzido sobre o tema, o que justifica e torna relevante a realização deste estudo. Para desenvolver o presente estudo foram traçados os seguintes objetivos: Objetivo geral: Construir um sistema de indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem para o Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro (HUAP). Objetivos específicos: Identificar na literatura científica a utilização de indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem; evidenciar junto aos enfermeiros que desempenham funções de gerência no Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro, aspectos relacionados à utilização de indicadores de gestão de capital humano de enfermagem. Método: Estudo metodológico com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, desenvolvido em três fases: 1ª Fase Revisão integrativa da literatura cientifica em bases virtuais de dados, realizada em setembro de 2012, atualizada em maio de 2013, no recorte temporal: 1998-2013; 2ª Fase entrevista com enfermeiros gerentes do HUAP, a fim de evidenciar aspectos relacionados à utilização de indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem; 3ª Fase construção do sistema de indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem para o HUAP. Resultados: 1ª Fase A revisão da literatura identificou 11 categorias que foram divididas em 02 grupos: Indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem; Possíveis indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem. Permitiram elucidar o tema e subsidiaram a construção do instrumento de coleta de dados da segunda etapa. 2ª Fase A abordagem aos enfermeiros gerentes possibilitou a identificação do perfil destes profissionais, evidenciar a utilização de indicadores de gestão do capital humano de enfermagem no hospital e analisar por meio de escala Likert a concordância quanto à relevância dos indicadores identificados na revisão integrativa da literatura. E, ainda, identificar possíveis novos indicadores propostos pelos gerentes. Na 3ª Fase da pesquisa, 05 indicadores base foram eleitos, estudados e desenvolvidos, derivando em um total de 26 indicadores, que foram operacionalizados através da construção tecnológica do software “Sistema de Indicadores de Gestão do Capital Humano de Enfermagem do HUAP”. Conclusão: O sistema de indicadores de gestão desenvolvido neste estudo possibilita uma visão ampla e sistemática do capital humano de enfermagem do hospital. Constitui importante fonte de dados, permitindo o monitoramento e comparação com parâmetros internos e externos, favorecendo a tomada de decisão gerencial e a identificação de áreas que necessitem de intervenção / Problem situation: there is a tendency in personal management, in which the emphasis is on "Human Capital". In this model people are considered as capital, because adds value to organizations. It is observed that the absence of a computerized system of indicators of human capital management of nursing does not seem to provide sufficient subsidies to managers to support their practice, as well as behaviors and decision making. Information on human resources for health in Brazil is still incipient, there is a gap in knowledge produced on the subject, which justifies and makes this study relevant. To develop the present study the following objectives were outlined: General Objective: Building a system of indicators of human capital management of nursing for the Antonio Pedro University Hospital (HUAP, in Portuguese). Specific Objectives: Identify the use of indicators of human capital management of nursing in the scientific literature; to evidence together with nurses who perform management functions in the Antonio Pedro University Hospital, aspects related to the use of indicators of human capital management of nursing. Method: Methodological study with quantitative and qualitative approach, developed in three phases: Phase 1 Integrative review of the scientific literature on virtual databases, held in September 2012, updated in May 2013, of publications dated in the period from 1998 to 2013; Phase 2 interview with the nurse managers of the HUAP in order to highlight issues related to the use of indicators of human capital management of nursing; Phase 3 construction of the system of indicators of human capital management of nursing for HUAP. Results: Phase 1 The literature review identified 11 categories that were divided into 02 groups: Indicators of human capital management of nursing; Possible indicators of human capital management of nursing. Helped to clarify the issue and supported the construction of the instrument to collect data from the second step. The phase 2 the approach to nurse managers allowed the identification of the profile of these professionals and to evidence the use of indicators of human capital management of nursing in the hospital and analyze through Likert scale the agreement on the relevance of the indicators identified in the literature review. And still identify possible new indicators proposed by managers. In Phase 3 of the research, were elected 05 base indicators, studied and developed, deriving others 26 indicators, which were operationalized through technological construction of the software: "System of Indicators for Human Capital Management in Nursing at HUAP". Conclusion: The system of management indicators developed in this study provides a comprehensive and systematic vision of the human capital nursing of the hospital. Is an important source of data, enabling monitoring and comparison with internal and external parameters, favoring the managerial decision-making and identification of areas requiring intervention
