Abstract:

<p> Ensuring all residents in Southern California have access to healthy food is one of many examples of an issue too complex and challenging for any one organization to change on its own. More and more, organizations work in collaboration and designate individuals to manage these collaborative change initiatives. This research uncovers the specific influence managers of collaborative change initiatives have in shaping positive outcomes for the collaborations they serve. Based on interviewing 11 managers and funders from six leading collaborative change initiatives, there are two contextual wa

Abstract:

Working on a current (2010/2011), small-scale, auto/biographical research project with a multiagency team who seek to offer 'collaborative advantage' (a principle promoted in recent multiagency practice) on behalf of students with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties, an interpretive hermeneutic has been employed in exploring whether something of the narrated life experiences and reflexive learning of co-participants ('Narrators') actually enables such transformational work. Here the recent history of agency and multiagency collaboration in England is briefly examined along with cert

The study presented in this dissertation examines the process of change in 39 elementary schools as they participated in the implementation of a board-wide balanced literacy initiative.

The study has several goals: (a) to better understand the nature and role of teacher agency in a change process; (b) to examine the role of professional collaboratio

The objective of the research presented in this thesis was to explore human experiences as ground for work and workplace design. The aim was to develop pragmatic tools and guidelines for work and workplace design based on a reflective design tradition.

Motivated by the need to understand which are the underlying forces that trigger network evolution, we develop a multilevel theoretical and empirically testable model to examine the relationship between changes in the external environment and network change.

Students who are (D/HH) have a history of low-reading proficiency.

Because of constraints in teacher preparation programs, much of what teachers of students who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) learn about reading instruction will be "on-the-job."

Abstract:

This thesis examines inter-organisational or collaborative change. The research commenced with an investigation of organisational change in policing and then broadened to encompass other organisations in the public and private sectors, thereby enabling comparison and contrast. The intention was to explore first principles of best practice for organisations embarking upon collaborative change. The researcher was motivated to learn and develop his thinking as a consequence of professional exposure to this area of strategic management. The exponential growth in the number and complexity of collab

Abstract:

Changes in climate result in wide-ranging economic impacts, especially for businesses that rely on consistent weather patterns. The North Carolina ski resorts (Beech Mountain Ski Resort, Appalachian Ski Resort, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, Cataloochee Ski Area, and Sapphire Valley Ski Area) are the southernmost resorts on the east coast in the US. They are able to stay in business because of the diverse terrain and elevation of the Appalachian Mountains where they can see low record temperatures of -34°F. Observable increases in temperature and less snowfall accumulations

Abstract:

This research investigates the nature and creation of common places in informal peri-urban settlements in North India through negotiation and sharing. It aims to develop a profound understanding of the effect of the post-hoc introduction of amenity buildings and city infrastructure in the creation of common places. The approach takes collaborative architectural making as a catalyst for civic empowerment and social change, discussed primarily through first-hand experience of practical small-scale live interventions in two urban conditions of scarce resources. These interventions serve as case s

Abstract:

Collaboration among higher education professors who are responsible for the education of preservice teachers is one potential solution to the problem of poor teacher preparation. Specifically, collaboration among mathematics educators and mathematicians can enhance preservice teacher preparation because it provides opportunities for preservice teachers to develop pedagogical content knowledge. However, collaborative efforts are challenging, and collaborators often face obstacles and tensions arise among the collaborative group members. Learning about ways the collaborators approach their colla
