Abstract:

This research responds to calls from several fields (including project management and organisational change) questioning the engineering paradigm of objective rationality, systems control and universally-applicable structured methods underpinning conventional ‘best practice’ approaches to managing business change projects. The call is for better understanding of the reality of business change projects as experienced by the people working on them, and for improved theory based on that. This research seeks to explore whether more effective approaches to delivering benefits from business change i

Abstract:

Driven by advances in internet and wireless communications the information economy is exemplified by the unprecedented speed at which large amounts of information is created and disseminated. As a result, organisations and individuals now need to process more information and create new knowledge faster than ever before. This has forced organisations to consider how individuals and groups create knowledge that enables them to innovate fast enough to compete in the global marketplace. This portfolio contains a collection of studies and an investigation of practice-based approaches to knowing and

Abstract:

The prominence of executive management failures brings to the fore concerns with a perceived lack of management scholarship impact. Executive managers should be better prepared for a complex world of work and there is a growing scholarly awareness that this requires more focus on practical knowledge (developed though phronesis), which has largely been ignored in favour of theoretical knowledge (developed through episteme) and specialist craft skills (developed through technê). This thesis contributes to the discourse by analysing phronesis, as the virtue underpinning practical knowledge within

Being exposed to serious games showed that some simulations widely vary in quality and learning outcome.

The findings from both research efforts were then collated and cross-referenced against each other in order to determine three things: firstly, the practices and features used by simulation companies tha

Abstract:

Acknowledging the difficulties of achieving effective strategic management in practice, this thesis investigates how formal strategies quite often succeed in conditioning organisational actions even in firms such as professional service firms, which may lack effective measures for coercing action and which often depend on distributed decision-making. The fundamental question posed in this investigation is: what are the social processes that make strategies work? This thesis addresses that question by contributing to our understanding of strategy realisation as a continuing process of translati

Abstract:

Quality management has often been advocated as being universally applicable to organisations and organisations activities. This universal stance is part of the emergence of a new paradigm in Operations Management based on the assumption that the adoption of best practice in a wide range of areas leads to superior performance (the best practice paradigm). This is in contrast with the manufacturing strategy contingency approach in which the field of Operations Management has been strongly rooted from its inception, which advocates internal and external consistency between manufacturing strategy

This study showed several potential disconnects between how decision-makers say they will punish, and how they actually punish. Punishment theory states that

Since its introduction by management consultants in the early 1980s, the supply chain management (SCM) concept has risen to prominence in both academic and commercial circles.

There is significant evidence that the effective implementation of SCM can result in improvements in the performance of firms. However, there is also evidence of a divergence between theory and practice in terms of SCM understanding and adoption. The fundamental purpose of the research described in this thesis is to
