Hur hanterar medlemmar i företag spänningar? - En kvalitativ studie om hur medlemmar hanterar spänningar mellan ett traditionellt styrsystem och ett modernare styrsystem / How do members in a comapany handle tensions? - A qualitative study of how members handle tensions between a traditional control system and a modern control system.

Chand, Dev, Wigren, Dennis January 2021 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet med denna studien är att öka förståelsen kring hur medlemmar hanterar spänningar mellan ett traditionellt styrsystem och ett modernt styrsystem. Metod: För att besvara studiens syfte har vi använt oss av den naturalistiska forskningsfilosofin och en induktiv forskningsansats. Empiriinsamlingen har bestått av intervjuer av en kvalitativ karaktär. Analys av den empiriska data gjordes med hjälp av en tematisk analys. Bidrag: Studien tillför ett teoretiskt bidrag där spänningarna bevisligen existerar mellan styrsystem. De centrala spänningar vi har fått fram är Ansvarstagande, Organisationsstruktur, Kommunikation och Arbetssätt, när Lean används som styrkoncept. Med hjälp av att kunna se verksamhetsstyrning som ett paket kan spänningarna dels förstås bättre, dels förklara varför de kan uppstå. Till sist, kan Loose coupling med framgång användas för att analysera hur medlemmarna hanterar spänningar som uppstår mellan dessa styrsystem. Vi kan se att företagen som undersöks i studien använder olika metoder för att hantera spänningarna. Förslag till vidare forskning: ● Vidareutveckla de teorier vi presenterat i studien gällande identifiering av spänningar. Genom att vidare undersöka hur spänningar fungerar och var de kan uppstå kan forskare bidra till en stabilare verksamhetsstyrning för företag. ● Mer fördjupning inom hantering av spänningar. Genom att utveckla de metoder som redan finns kan det underlätta för företag med spänningar och genom att formulera nya metoder och identifiera nya verktyg kan forskningen föras framåt ytterligare. ● Att undersöka om spänningar går att mäta, för att sedan bygga ett verktyg för företagen att kunna identifiera och hantera spänningarna. / Aim: The aim is to increase the understanding of how members in a company handle tensions between a modern traditional control system and a modern control system. Method: This study was conducted with a qualitative design using a multiple case study and an inductive process. Furthermore, has the study been shaped after the scientific method. Empirical data has been gathered from interviews and the analysing of the empirical data has been done using thematic analysis. Contributions of the thesis: The theoretical contribution of this study is proof that tensions exists between two different control systems. The most central tensions that we have discovered are Responsibility, Organizational structure, Communication and Working methods, when Lean is used as a control concept. With the help of being able to see business management as a package, the tensions can be better understood and also explain why they can arise. Finally, Loose coupling can be successfully used to analyse how members handle tensions that arise between these control systems. We can see that the companies that are analysed in this study use different methods to handle the tensions. Suggestions for future research: ● To further develop the theories we presented in the study regarding the identification of tensions. This can be made by further investigating how tensions work and where they can arise. Researchers can contribute to more stable business management for companies. ● More in-depth study of handling the tensions. By developing the methods that already exist, this can make it easier for companies to handle their tensions between the control systems. But also formulating new methods and identifying new tools that could take the research further. ● To examine if tensions could be measured in order to build a tool that could identify and handle the tensions.

[en] HISTORICAL SOCIOENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES AND GEO-HIDROECOLOGICAL RESULTANTS IN MANAGEMENT AREAS (QUILOMBO DO CAMPINHO DA INDEPENDÊNCIA, PARATY, RJ). / [pt] MUDANÇAS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS HISTÓRICAS E RESULTANTES GEO-HIDROECOLÓGICAS EM ÁREAS DE MANEJO (QUILOMBO DO CAMPINHO DA INDEPENDÊNCIA, PARATY, RJ)

JOANA STINGEL FRAGA 29 December 2021 (has links)
[pt] O litoral sul fluminense vem passando por muitas mudanças desde a abertura da rodovia Rio-Santos na década de 1970, o que provocou diversos conflitos socioambientais em decorrência de um intenso processo de especulação imobiliária. Em paralelo, a criação de diversas unidades de conservação restringiu práticas das comunidades tradicionais locais e reorganizaram de diversas formas seus territórios. No ano de 2014, a crise hídrica do sudeste brasileiro afetou também comunidades rurais em Paraty, entre elas, a comunidade do Quilombo Campinho da Independência localizada na bacia do rio Carapitanga. Buscou-se compreender se a crise hídrica local se deu em decorrência unicamente de uma variabilidade climática ou se foi potencializada por mudanças socioambientais recentes. Sendo assim, foram analisados os processos sociais históricos que conduziram às mudanças de uso do solo na região, tendo como foco as comunidades quilombolas e suas formas de resistência e adaptação aos diferentes contextos históricos. Em seguida, foram analisadas variáveis ambientais locais como a distribuição histórica da precipitação na bacia do Carapitanga e as resultantes geo-hidroecológicas do manejo tradicional. Para tal, foram selecionadas três áreas no Quilombo do Campinho que foram utilizadas em tempos distintos: florestas de 30 e 50 anos regeneradas após abandono de roças e uma área de agrofloresta, recentemente implementada (10 anos). As variáveis monitoradas, coletadas e analisadas ao longo da pesquisa foram: precipitação, interceptação florestal, umidade do solo, capacidade de retenção hídrica da serrapilheira, propriedades físicas e condutividade hidráulica saturada (Ksat) do solo, levantamento fitossociológico das áreas regeneradas após o uso e a classificação das espécies arbóreas em grupos ecológicos. Os resultados indicam que o manejo destas comunidades produz na paisagem um mosaico vegetacional em diferentes estágios sucessionais com diferentes funções geo-hidroecológicas. Dentre essas funções, as três áreas se destacaram diferentemente. De forma geral, a agrofloresta apresentou maiores valores de Ksat e umidade do solo, consistindo numa área de maior recarga e armazenamento de água, além das espécies cultivadas servirem de alimento para a fauna, fortalecendo interações ecológicas. A floresta de 30 anos apresentou a maior diversidade de espécies arbóreas e a floresta de 50 anos a maior diversidade estrutural dos indivíduos arbóreos e, consequentemente, a maior interceptação da precipitação. Ainda que a luta e a resistência das comunidades tradicionais tenham produzido avanços, políticas e dinâmicas mais recentes na região aliadas às tendências pluviométricas para o sudeste brasileiro acendem alertas, uma vez mais, para as consequências socioambientais do modelo político e econômico dominante. / [en] The southern coast of Rio de Janeiro has undergone many changes since the opening of the Rio-Santos highway in the 1970s. This fact has caused several socio-environmental conflicts as a result of an intense process of real estate speculation and several conservation units were created, which controlled traditional community practices and so, reorganized their territories in different ways. In 2014, the water crisis in southeastern Brazil also affected rural communities in Paraty, including the Quilombo Campinho da Independência community located in the Carapitanga river basin. We sought to understand if the local water crisis occurred solely as a result of climate variability or if it was enhanced by recent socio-environmental changes. Thus, the historical social processes that led to changes in land use in the region were analyzed, focusing on quilombola communities and their forms of resistance and adaptation to different historical contexts. Then, local environmental variables were analyzed, such as the historical distribution of precipitation in the Carapitanga basin and the geo-hydroecological results of traditional management. To this end, three areas were selected in Quilombo do Campinho that were used at different times: 30- and 50-year-old forests regenerated after the abandonment of swiddens and an agroforestry area, recently implemented (10 years). The variables monitored, collected and analyzed throughout the research were: precipitation, forest interception, soil moisture, litter water retention capacity, physical properties and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of the soil, phytosociological survey of regenerated areas after use and the classification of tree species into ecological groups. The results indicate that the management of these communities produces a vegetation mosaic in the landscape at different successional stages with different geo-hydroecological functions. Among these functions, the three areas stood out differently. In general, the agroforestry showed higher values of Ksat and soil moisture, consisting of an area of greater water recharge and storage, in addition to the cultivated species serving as food for the fauna, strengthening ecological interactions. The 30-year-old forest had the greatest diversity of tree species and the 50-year-old forest the greatest structural diversity of individual trees and, consequently, the greatest precipitation interception. Although the struggle and resistance of traditional communities have produced advances, more recent policies and dynamics in the region, combined with rainfall trends for the Brazilian Southeast, raise alerts, once again, for the socio-environmental consequences of the dominant political and economic model.

Endogenous development of natural resource management in the communal areas of Southern Zimbabwe : a case study approach

Van Halsema, Wybe 09 1900 (has links)
Despite decades of development efforts to combat desertification processes in southern Zimbabwe, a development deadlock occurs. Using the local knowledge systems as a basis, and making an effort to strategically facilitate the revival of their capacity for checks and balances as a development approach, endogenous development could become more realistic. The actor-oriented RAAKS.methodology offers relevant tools for a case study'in which an insight into the processes of innovation is obtained in order to confirm this. The Charurnbira case study shows that many local interfaces hinder development. Although the facilitation of platform processes could enhance endogenous development, the external environment provides a serious constraint. The method employed did ndt permit broad conclusions, but a deeper examination of recent experiences suggested that by giving local people a greater say in natural resource use, local knowledge could be utilized more effectively and better use could be made of traditional management structures. / Development Administration / M.A. (Development Administration)

Ekonomistyrning i svenska skivbolag : en kvalitativ studie om hur svenska skivbolags ekonomistyrning karaktäriseras utifrån ett traditionellt och modernt perspektiv / Management control in Swedish record labels : a qualitative study about how Swedish record labels’ management control are characterized from a traditional and modern perspective

Lejdeby, Robin, Ewerklou, Gustav January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund och problem: Det har riktats kritik mot den traditionella ekonomistyrningen vilket har gjort att moderna styrmetoder och verktyg växt fram för att komplettera ekonomistyrningen. De faktorer som tvingat fram den moderna styrningen går även att se i musikbranschen. Detta, tillsammans med att ekonomistyrning i musikbranschen generellt sett är outforskat, gör att det blir intressant att undersöka hur skivbolag i musikbranschen använder sig av en traditionell ekonomistyrning eller modern verksamhetsstyrning. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom att undersöka två skivbolags ekonomistyrning kartlägga hur ekonomistyrningen karaktäriseras utifrån traditionell ekonomistyrning och modern verksamhetsstyrning. Metod: Metoden som använts vid denna studie är kvalitativ. Vi har genom fallstudier hos två skivbolag undersökt och skapat oss en förståelse av ekonomistyrningen i bolagen med hjälp av semi-strukturerade intervjuer och kompletterande frågor via mail.   Slutsats: Det går att se att skivbolagen övergått delvis till en modern verksamhetsstyrning men att det alltså finns en blandning mellan användandet av traditionella och moderna styrmetoder och verktyg. / Background and problem: Criticism has been raised towards the traditional management control which pushed forward modern management methods and tools to complement management accounting. The factors that pushed out this modern management control are possible to see in the music industry aswell. This, together with the fact that management control in the music industry has a research gap, makes it interesting to examine how record labels in the swedish music industry are using traditional or modern management control. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to through the examination of two record labels create an understanding of how the management control is characterized through traditional or modern management control. Method: The method used in this study is qualitative. We have through a multiple-case study at two record labels examined and created an understanding of the management control in the companies with the help of semi-structured interviews and complementary questions through mail. Conclusion: It is possible to see that the record labels has partly moved to modern management control but also that you can see a mix between the usage of traditional and modern control methods and tools.
