Full textAbstract:
The contracting company is in the desire of an autonomous system that can do tedious administrative work that is today done manually. They would like to autonomically notify customers about incoming alarms from the customers’ real estates’ Data Under Centrals and to notify about bookings, in which a complete booking system has to be created, together with a file system analyzer that notifies about new files in the customers’ project folders. A notification system was made that was easily deployable and ready to use. The system had to be completely configurable for the contracting company to use it to its full potential. The notification system was to send notifications when a new alarm had entered the database, a booking had to be reminded of, a rebooking was made or a file had been added to the file system in a designated project folder. The contracting company had a web portal that was further developed in ASP.net in which a booking calendar and booking viewer page was added together with a form creation and management system. A demo buttons page was also added for generating demo notifications for the company to show it’s customers how the system responds to certain events. The employees at GATE IBS feel confident that this system will help them in their working environment to further strengthen their position as an industry leading business in control- and monitoring technology.Det uppdragsgivande företaget önskar ett autonomt system som kan utföra tidskrävande administrativt arbete som idag utförs manuellt. De vill autonomt informera kunderna om inkommande larm från kundens fastigheters "Data Under Centrals" samt meddela om bokningar där ett komplett bokningssystem måste skapas tillsammans med en filsystemanalysator som meddelar om nya filer i kundens projektmapp. Ett notifikationssystem gjordes som var enkelt att distribuera och redo att använda. Systemet måste vara helt konfigurerbart för att det uppdragsgivande bolaget ska kunna använda programmet till sin fulla potential. Anmälningssystemet skulle skicka meddelanden när ett nytt larm hade kommit in i databasen, en bokning måste påminnas om, ombokning gjordes eller en fil hade lagts till filsystemet i en utsedd projektmapp. Kontraktsföretaget hade en webbportal som vidareutvecklades i ASP.net där en bokningskalender och bokningsvisningssida lagts till tillsammans med ett formulärgenererings- och formulärhanteringssystem och en demoknappssida för att generera demonotifikationer för att företaget ska kunna visa kunderna hur systemet svarar på vissa händelser. De anställda på GATE IBS är övertygade om att detta system kommer att hjälpa dem i sin arbetsmiljö för att ytterligare stärka sin ställning som branschledande företag inom kontroll- och övervakningsteknik.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if there is processes that stand out whenmanaging a logistic real estate, both in terms of methods, transaction costs andresponsibilities.We used a qualitive method because it suited our open approach. We conducted foursemi-structured interviews. The respondents were selected based on their experience inthe logistic real estate industry.Based on this study’s empirical data it is read that real estate management has becomemore important during the last decades, and that there is many different ways to managereal estate, including logistic real estate. There is no template for how companiesmanage any kind of property. But that there are different standards in contract writing,risk management and way of thinking when it comes to logistic real estate.The studies contributed with showing that forthcoming verities in the industry, logisticreal estate sometimes differ with management methods compared to other properties.

Cornell, Brent T. "Open Innovation Strategies for Overcoming Competitive Challenges Facing Small and Mid-Sized Enterprises." Thesis, University of Maryland University College, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3567900.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage open innovation to increase their economic viability and success in this modern, globalized post-industrial society marked by constant change and intense competition. To date, most open innovation research has focused exclusively on large companies, while neglecting the specific competitive challenges and strategies of SMEs. This dissertation evaluates the open innovation landscape from the vantage point of SMEs because these firms play a significant role in economies around the globe. Innovation is a crucial driver in their ability to survive, compete, and prosper. The dissertation author created three new models to explore the research topic. The first, the Holistic Model of Innovation, is useful to more fully understand the entire innovation landscape (both closed and open innovation as well as product and non-product innovations). This dissertation also presents the author’s SME Competitive Challenges Model , which identifies the main size-related competitive hurdles that SMEs face (i.e., challenges related to a lack of resources, limited dynamic capabilities, and excessive risk exposure). Additionally, the author presents his SME Open Innovation Strategies Model, which evaluates various open innovation strategies for overcoming these competitive challenges. This dissertation presents a series of propositions based on these new conceptual models and tests them by conducting a systematic review, several meta-syntheses, a case study, and multiple statistical meta-analyses with data from 34,676 SMEs across dozens of industries in 27 countries.
Keywords: Small and Mid-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), Small Business Strategy, Global Open Innovation, Closed Innovation, Size-Related Competitive Challenges

Full textAbstract:
Arrivée à ces noces d’étain, la fiducie continue de déranger autant qu’elle déroute. Alors que tout oppose la prétendue propriété fiduciaire de la propriété, la doctrine, presque à l’unisson, défend ce mariage contre-nature. Pour administrer le patrimoine créé pour l’occasion, le fiduciaire se verrait confier la toute puissance d’un propriétaire, qu’il faudrait immédiatement s’empresser de contenir pour que fiduciant et bénéficiaire ne se retrouvent pas démunis face au fiduciaire roi dans son royaume. Pourquoi persister en ce sens ? N’est-il pas possible de puiser dans nos catégories juridiques au lieu de les épuiser ? Assurément, la réponse est positive. En replaçant l’affectation voulue par les parties au contrat au cœur de l’opération et en acceptant de sortir des sentiers battus, il est possible de rendre au fiduciaire sa véritable place, celle d’un administrateur de patrimoine doté de pouvoirs propres. L’analyse alternative proposée permettra à la fois d’éclairer le régime applicable, de lever certaines zones d’ombre et d’accroître l’efficacité de l’opération, en offrant au fiduciant et au bénéficiaire les moyens de faire face à un fiduciaire peu scrupuleuxIntroduced in the french law since ten years yet, the french trust, as know as « fiducie », keeps destabilising. While everything seems oppose that so-called fiduciary property and the real property, the doctrine preaches for assimilation. To manage the fiduciary estate, the trustee is said to own the whole power as a proprietor, but wich has to be straight away limited to spare the settler and the sestui que trust findind themeselves helpless in front of a powerfully trustee. Why then to prevail in this way ? Isn’t it possible to deal with others mechanism of the legal arsenal instead of altering it ? Doubtlessly, a positive answer has to be given. To focus attention on the allocation (affectation) and to depart from the beaten tracks, allow to take back the trustee his rightful palce : he is an estate manager provided with inherent powers. The analyse suggested succeed in explaining the legal regime, clarifying doubts and increasing effectiveness thanks to means for settler and sestui que trust to deal with a careless trustee

Full textAbstract:
Background: Today’s global social and environmental issues are impacting the way of doing business around the world with an increased pressure on organizations to implement sustainability practices in a more strategic manner. Many organizations lack the practical knowledge to integrate sustainability efficiently. Scholars argue for the importance of organizational learning for the transition towards sustainable corporations. While the problem is evident across industries, dealing with the problem effectively is particularly important within the property sector since property development is a fundamental part of building a sustainable society, hence crucial for Sweden’s achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Purpose: To analyze the management of organizational learning for the integration of corporate sustainability in organizations within the Swedish property sector. Method: By using a qualitative research methodology with a single-case study of a Swedish property management firm, in-depth empirics could be collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with members of the organization from various departments and positions, and across regions. An abductive approach was applied where we used and extended previous theory before presenting a final model where theory and findings were aligned. Conclusion: Our model showed how organizational learning can be managed for the integration of corporate sustainability across different levels of an organization – individual and group, organizational, and societal where various practices where identified on each level – see Figure 7.Bakgrund: Företag runt om i världen står inför en utmaning att implementera hållbarhetsfrågor på ett mer strategiskt sätt för att hantera de globala sociala och miljömässiga aspekterna inom hållbarhet. Många organisationer saknar den praktiska kunskapen att integrera hållbarhet effektivt. Enligt forskning är organisatoriskt lärande viktigt för övergången till mer hållbara företag. Även om problemet är tydligt inom alla industrier, så är det speciellt viktigt för företag inom fastighetsbranschen att integrera hållbarhet då fastighetsutveckling är en grundpelare för att bygga ett hållbart samhälle. Följaktligen innebär detta att fastighetsbranschens hållbarhetsarbete är kritisk för Sveriges möjlighet att uppnå de 17 globala målen och utförandet av Handlingsplan Agenda 2030. Syfte: Att analysera hur organisatoriskt lärande kan hanteras för att integrera hållbarhet i organisationer inom den svenska fastighetsbranschen. Metod: Genom att använda oss av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en fallstudie av ett svenskt fastighetsbolag samlades djupgående empiri in från semi-strukturerade intervjuer som hölls med medlemmar ur organisationen från olika avdelningar, roller och regioner. Med ett abduktivt tillvägagångssätt till forskningsarbetet använde och utvecklade vi tidigare teori innan vi presenterade en slutlig modell där teori och empiri sammanställdes. Slutsats: Vår modell visar hur organisatoriskt lärande kan hanteras över olika organisatoriska nivåer av ett företag – individ och grupp, organisation, och samhälle – för att integrera hållbarhet genom olika tillämpningar, se figur 7.

Ray, Rosalind. "The Relationship Between Georgia Public School Educational Funding Sources and Academic Achievement." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5407.
Full textAbstract:
In the United States, state educational finance systems are required to ensure that every student obtains an adequate and equitable education. The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate the financial management aspect of public funding and the consequences of Georgia's reliance on local property tax revenue for financing its public school districts and attaining student academic achievement outcomes. The research questions examined whether there was a difference in student academic achievement levels of economically disadvantaged (ED) students based on the total 8th grade student population, annual property valuations, and median home sale prices during the 2006-2014 school terms. Systems theory management, resource allocation, and property taxation provided the theoretical framework for the study. Data were obtained from public, online databases in Georgia. Purposive sampling identified the ED students who took the Grade 8 Writing Assessment (EGWA), the test used to measure the ED students' academic performance levels (n = 27,136). Results from Pearson correlation analyses indicated an inverse relationship between the number of ED students who passed the EGWA and the median sale prices of homes, and school districts with high property tax revenue were more likely to have higher test scores than school districts located in areas with low property tax revenue. Multiple regression analyses showed that the academic performance of 8th grade ED students who passed the EGWA was predicted by the total number of 8th grade students who passed the test. The implication for positive social change is that it is not the amount of public funding that affects student academic achievement, but how the funds are spent that can change academic achievement.

Adiaba, Stanislaus Yaw. "A framework for land information management in Ghana." Thesis, University of Wolverhampton, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2436/332138.
Full textAbstract:
Land information management in Ghana, as in many developing countries, remains a practice monopolised by public sector land administration agencies, which are known for being inefficient in delivering services that satisfy the needs of citizens. Under this monopolised regime, landed property related data gathering, processing through land registration, storage and dissemination of the information as final product for public use is entirely based on expert knowledge. Meanwhile, reliance on this kind of knowledge for land information management has continuously failed to promote smooth flow and a broad based access to reliable information for decision making by citizens. This failure has created a huge land information gap between market participants’ especially genuine and fraudulent landed property owners on one hand and potential buyers, lenders, and investors on the other hand. Thus, there is information asymmetry, which this study identifies as a major contributory factor to the challenges of uncertainties and high transaction costs that characterise dealings in urban real estate markets in Ghana. In order to verify how the information gap can be closed, this research adopts quantitative research methodology. The research mainly explores multinomial logistic regression model to test Economic Theory of Knowledge propounded by Hayek (1945) using Ghana as the context of study. Primary data was collected from potential land information suppliers within the private sector and existing users of land information as likely beneficiaries of an efficient land information management regime. Interrater agreement index and Pearson’s bivariate correlation analysis were used to analyse primary data gathered from users of land information in relation to land information needs and competition in land information harnessing. Following verification of the relationship between competition and economic knowledge, the key research finding is that there are two kinds of land information management knowledge and these are expert and entrepreneurial land information management knowledge. Thus, the research presents empirical evidence that out of four types of entrepreneurial knowledge verified, two types namely adaptive and cost-efficient knowledge are most likely to influence competition in land information supply. Also, competition is likely to deliver land information services that satisfy the needs of users of land information. Altogether, the research findings converge with the theory verified. The research outcome suggests that deregulation of state monopoly of land information harnessing for competition among private economic actors in Ghana is due. Removing this barrier is likely to promote dynamic competition in which licensed land information suppliers can use adaptive and cost efficient knowledge in gathering and disseminating land information at competitive prices. The study also provides evidence that all-in-one land information, which is broadly accessible at competitive prices is likely to be required to help address the problem of information asymmetry in the context of Ghana. For purposes of practice in the context of urban real estate markets in Ghana, a framework based on the research findings is developed and validated. The framework is proposed to inform policy decision on deregulation for competition in land information harnessing to enable the real estate sector function well. To kick start the process, deregulation in land data gathering and dissemination of land information is suggested.

Febriyani, Yeni. "The Perception of Knowledge Management System Implementation to Employee Performance is Measured With Balanced Scorecard at PT Vale Indonesia TBK." TopSCHOLAR®, 2016. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1598.
Full textAbstract:
Knowledge Management System (KMS) is a necessary concept as knowledge possessed by each individual employee is an intellectual property asset that will provide benefits for any organization. In a company, in terms of KMS, employees’ performance holds an important role in helping run the business of the company becoming sustainable and successful. Therefore, the measurement of employees’ performance based on a balanced scorecard is needed to understand the current business situation. This research helped focus on the perception between the KMS and employee’s performance based on a balanced scorecard (BSC) regarding a financial perspective, customer perspective, internal business process perspective, and learning & growth perspective. A survey was conducted at PT. Vale Indonesia Tbk (Vale) to ascertain these perspectives and perceptions of employees regarding performance based on a BSC. These perception data were analyzed, and conclusions were drawn regarding hypotheses. The findings section of this thesis shows the results in details. The results of the survey showed that the employees had a good perception of the value and benefits of KMS as measured with the BSC with the exception of the financial aspect. The interpretation of the results created recommendations to further implement KMS, and to improve employees’ performance at Vale.

Jackson, Daniel Lee. "Strategies for Insurance Agency Managers to Retain Customers and Improve Revenue." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4924.
Full textAbstract:
The cost of creating new property and casualty insurance accounts is much greater than the costs associated with sustaining current accounts. Property and casualty insurance agency managers lack strategies to retain customers, the retention of whom has been found to improve revenue. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore strategies for insurance agency managers to retain customers and improve revenue. The population used for the study was 4 insurance agency managers in the Northeastern United States. The conceptual framework was customer relationship management, which is a technological and organizational mechanism for buffering market instability by understanding customer concerns. Three data collection methods were used: semistructured interviews, documentation review, and review of physical artifacts. The approach to data analysis was general inductive to allow codes to emerge from the raw data, one with qualitative software used to condense raw data into key themes. Five themes emerged in the study: customer relationship management, employee communication, customer satisfaction, influence of strategic planning, and competition. The study may contribute to social change by offering guidance to property and casualty insurance agency managers on business sustainability, which may result in improvements to the local economy through the provision of sustainable jobs to community members, increases in employee retention, and the offering of reliable services to customers.

Mazboudi, Mohamad. "Accounting choices under IFRS and their effect on over-investment in capital expenditures." Diss., University of Iowa, 2012. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2941.
Full textAbstract:
IFRS allows firms to choose between fair-value accounting and historical cost accounting with impairment testing for property, plant and equipment (PPE). This study examines the effect of firms' accounting choices for this group of non-financial assets on over-investment after IFRS mandatory adoption in the European Union (EU). My results indicate that over-investment in PPE (or capital expenditures) is lower following IFRS adoption among EU firms that used historical cost accounting with impairment testing in the post-IFRS period, consistent with EU firms having more timely loss recognition for PPE under IFRS strict impairment rules. In my analysis of United Kingdom (UK) firms, I find that most UK firms elected to use historical cost accounting with impairment testing for PPE after IFRS mandatory adoption. I also find that UK firms that previously used fair-value accounting under UK GAAP and then switched to historical cost accounting with impairment testing under IFRS exhibit greater reductions in over-investment relative to other EU firms that used historical cost accounting with impairment testing prior to IFRS adoption. Additional analysis suggests that the reductions in over-investment after IFRS mandatory adoption are greater as the severity of agency conflicts increases, consistent with outside shareholders demanding timely loss recognition as a means of addressing agency conflicts with managers.

Full textAbstract:
Föreliggande uppsats behandlar hyresgästmixen i köpcentrum ur ett förvaltningsperspektiv. Förvaltning av köpcentrum skiljer sig åt från andra typer av fastighetsförvaltning. Den största skillnaden är att fastighetsägarna och hyresgästerna är beroende av varandra för att lyckas. I och med att hyresintäkterna är en viktig faktor för ett köpcentrums lönsamhet kan det konstateras att en god förvaltning kan höja värdet på fastigheten. Inledningsvis gjordes en litteraturstudie som visade att hyresgästmix, ankarbutiker och image anses vara viktiga faktorer för att skapa kundflöden och framgång för ett köpcentrum. Det finns trots detta ingen övergripande teori om hur fastighetsägare och förvaltare skall gå tillväga för att utforma en optimal hyresgästmix. Det är därför av intresse att undersöka hur förvaltare av köpcentrum arbetar med hyresgästmixen. Vi vill ta reda på om förvaltare av köpcentrum arbetar aktivt med hyresgästmixen samt vad de anser att en bra hyresgästmix ska innehålla. Vidare vill vi studera hur förvaltare arbetar med ankarbutiker och köpcentrets image. För att uppfylla syftet med vår uppsats har vi genomfört en kvalitativ studie där vi har intervjuat respondenter kunniga inom ämnet. Totalt har sex intervjuer genomförts med en representant från respektive köpcentrum som vi valt att studera. Tre av intervjuerna utfördes med respondenter ansvariga för uthyrning, två intervjuer med centrumchef och fastighetschef samt en intervju med fastighetsförvaltare. Av intervjuerna kan det konstateras att förvaltare av köpcentrum arbetar aktivt med hyresgästmixen. En god hyresgästmix ska innehålla ett brett och varierat utbud, anpassat och riktat till köpcentrets målgrupp. En god hyresgästmix kommer att skilja sig åt mellan köpcentrum, beroende på var de är belägna. Det går därför inte att fastställa en optimal hyresgästmix som är applicerbar på alla köpcentrum. Av studien framkom ett nytt och intressant synsätt inom köpcentrumförvaltning, vilket är att bygga en stad. Förvaltarna har som strategi att skapa fler anledningar för kunderna att besöka köpcentret än bara i shoppingsyfte. Konsekvensen av detta är att hyresgästmixen idag inte längre består av endast butiker, utan innefattar också andra aktörer som exempelvis vårdcentraler och kontor. Vidare kan det konstateras att förvaltare arbetar aktivt med att identifiera och inkludera lämpliga ankarbutiker i hyresgästmixen i köpcentrumen. Förvaltare anser att ankarhyresgäster är av stor betydelse för köpcentrums lönsamhet. De för med sig kundflöden som resterande hyresgäster kan dra nytta av, vilket skapar synergieffekter för köpcentret. De agerar även lockbete för nya hyresgäster till köpcentret. Vi har sett att imagen inte är någonting som förvaltare arbetar särskilt aktivt med. Den uppkommer snarare automatiskt och påverkas av butikerna, främst ankarbutikerna, och allt arbete som görs kring hyresgästmixen. Sammanfattningsvis kan det konstateras att faktorerna hyresgästmix, ankarbutiker, kundflöde och image tydligt hänger samman och påverkar varandra i flera led. Dessa faktorer är också ständigt föränderliga.This study deals with tenant mix in shopping centers from a property management perspective. Shopping center management differs from other types of property management. The biggest difference is that the property owners and the tenants are dependent on each other to succeed. Since rental income is an important factor for a shopping center’s profitability it can be stated that good management can increase the value of the property. Initially a literature study was made, which showed that tenant mix, anchor stores and image are considered important factors in creating customer flows and success for a shopping center. Despite this, there is no overall theory about how property owners and managers should proceed to design an optimal tenant mix. It is therefore of interest to investigate how shopping center managers work with the tenant mix. We want to find out if shopping center managers work actively with the tenant mix and what they consider a good tenant mix should include. Furthermore, we want to study how managers work with anchor stores and the shopping center’s image. To fulfill the purpose of our study, we have conducted a qualitative study where we have interviewed people with knowledge within the subject. A total of six interviews were conducted with a representative from each shopping center that we chose for this study. Three of the interviews were conducted with representatives responsible for letting, two with center owner and property owner and one with a property manager. From the interviews, it can be stated that shopping center managers works actively with the tenant mix. A good tenant mix should contain a wide and varied range of supply, adapted and aimed at the shopping center’s target group. A good tenant mix will differ between shopping centers, depending on where they are located. It is therefore not possible to determine an optimal tenant mix that is applicable to all shopping centers. The study revealed a new and interesting approach within shopping center management, which is to build a city. The managers’ strategy is to create additional reasons for customers to visit the shopping center than just for shopping purposes. The consequence of this is that the tenant mix today no longer consists only of shops, but also includes other actors such as health centers and offices. Furthermore, it can be stated that managers work actively to identify and include suitable anchor stores in the tenant mix in the shopping centers. Managers believe that anchor tenants are of great importance for the shopping centre's profitability. They attract customer flows that the other tenants can benefit from, which creates synergy effects for the shopping center. They also act as bait for new tenants to the shopping center. We have also seen that the image is not something that shopping center managers work particularly actively with. Instead, it arises rather automatically and is influenced by the tenants, mainly the anchor tenants, and all the work that is done around the tenant mix. To summarize, it can be stated that the factors tenant mix, anchor stores, customer flow and image are clearly connected and affect each other in several stages. These factors are also constantly changing.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo geral deste estudo é analisar o controle patrimonial dos bens permanentes da UTFPR, em seus 13 campi, como uma ferramenta de Governança Pública. Como objetivos específicos, buscou-se: compreender os princípios da Administração Pública e os princípios da Governança Pública; descrever os procedimentos, as tecnologias e os recursos empregados no controle patrimonial da UTFPR; verificar o atendimento dos princípios da Governança Pública pelo controle patrimonial da UTFPR; e, por fim, propor soluções para o aperfeiçoamento da atividade de controle patrimonial na UTFPR com base nos princípios da prestação de contas e transparência da Governança Pública. Por serem destinados ao atendimento de um interesse coletivo, os recursos públicos devem ser administrados de forma a maximizar os benefícios à coletividade, observando os princípios da legalidade, impessoalidade, moralidade, publicidade e eficiência. Para que os atos administrativos não se afastem de tal liame foram instituídos os mecanismos de controle interno e externo. O controle patrimonial é um tipo de controle interno que permite a manutenção de informações atualizadas acerca dos bens públicos permanentes, tais como, as informações sobre a aquisição, responsável pela carga patrimonial e os registros de baixa patrimonial. Para o atendimento dos objetivos do estudo optou-se pela realização de uma pesquisa qualitativa, mediante a técnica do estudo de caso. Foram identificados 21 servidores responsáveis pelo controle patrimonial atuantes nos 13 campi da UTFPR. Ainda foram identificados três servidores que contribuem com a atividade de controle patrimonial. Foram empregados questionários, análise documental e a análise de artefatos tecnológicos. Como método de exame dos materiais coletados utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo. Ficou demonstrado que o controle patrimonial de bens permanentes da UTFPR não é, atualmente, uma ferramenta de Governança Pública, tendo em vista a inexistência de transparência no que tange ao controle patrimonial. Da mesma forma, o atendimento ao princípio da prestação de contas encontra-se prejudicado, pois não são disponibilizados dados analíticos acerca dos bens que compõem o patrimônio da UTFPR. Por outro lado, as informações disponibilizadas de maneira sintética nos relatórios de gestão não encontram lastro com a realidade, tendo em vista que os inventários patrimoniais não são realizados em alguns campi. Como forma de superar tais desafios propõe-se a realização de treinamentos, a elaboração de normas acerca do controle patrimonial, o estudo da possibilidade da adoção de novas tecnologias e a realização efetiva dos inventários nos campi.The overall objective of this study is to analyze asset tracking of permanent property belonging to UTFPR, in all of its 13 campuses, as an Public Governance tool. The specific objectives were: to understand the principles of Public Administration and principles of Public Governance; describe the procedures, technologies and resources employed in asset tracking at UTFPR; attest that the principles of Public Governance through asset tracking at UTFPR have been observed; and lastly, propose solutions to improve the activity of asset tracking at UTFPR based on the principles of accountability and transparency of Public Governance. Because they are intended to meet a collective interest, public resources must be administered so as to maximize the benefits to the collectivity, abiding by the principles of legality, impersonality, morality, disclosure and efficiency. Internal and external control mechanisms have been implemented to prevent administrative acts from straying from this ideal. Asset tracking is a type of internal control that makes it possible to maintain updated information on permanent public assets, such as information on acquisition, asset record keeping and records on asset write-offs. To meet the objectives of the study, it was decided upon the qualitative research study method using the case study technique. A total of 21 servants were identified as responsible for asset tracking at the 13 UTFPR campuses. Another three servants were identified as contributing to the activity of asset tracking. The study used surveys, documental analysis, and analysis of technological devices. Content analysis was used as the method to examine collected materials. It was demonstrated that permanent asset tracking at UTFPR is currently not an efficient tool of Public Governance, considering the non-existence of transparency with regard to asset tracking. Likewise, the fulfillment of the principle of compliance has been compromised, as analytical data are not provided regarding the goods that comprise the assets of UTFPR. Moreover, the information provided in shortened format in management reports does not reflect reality, considering that inventories are not carried out in some campuses. In order to overcome these challenges, proposals include training, creation of norms regarding asset tracking, studies on the possibility of adopting new technologies, and effectively performing inventories in the campuses.

Full textAbstract:
Dhaka city and Bangladesh is unique in many ways. The country profile is most definitely an interesting case to study through the lenses of disaster management. In this thesis a framework or theories encompassing collaborative governance and coordination crisis- management networks is applied to the challenging context of Bangladesh. The study looks at themes such as ‘history of conflicts’, ‘trust building’, ‘power imbalances’, ‘comprehensive overview’ and crisis network variables like ‘complexity’ and ‘familiarity‘. The theory block is foremost gathered from Michael Hillyard, Naim Kapucu and Alison Gash and Chris Ansell. The study is based on interviews from individuals representing different types of organizations that have connections to coordination avenues. A thematic analysis approach is used to apply the theories on the empirics. Three research questions encapsulates the core of the study; what components stimulate collaborative governance theoretically and how does part- takers of disaster management in Dhaka perceive collaborative governance and coordination under disaster preparedness? Finally, how does the presented theories conform to the practises focused on coordination and collaborative governance when preparing for disasters in Dhaka, Bangladesh? The study finds that the establishment of coordination avenues are evident in Dhaka and that the development of various parts of coordination activities is moving rather strong. The study show that many organizations are project- based in Dhaka and that competition over intellectual property and funding can work in both directions for coordination and collaborative governance. Either lowering the ambition for collaborations or increasing it. The study also confirms findings of previous coordination studies in Bangladesh that suggest that the institutional approach is very much individualistic which can, to some degree, hamper coordination activities. The study suggest that the system for coordination and its reach appears to be more established horizontally on a strategic level than on the vertical level. Coordination activities and collaborative governance also operates simultaneously in Dhaka, both vertically and horizontally. In closure the experiences of DM- employees in Dhaka suggest that earthquakes and droughts, or combinations of quakes and flooding may pose a serious challenge to the disaster management relief resources of Dhaka city.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The globalization has made organizations knowledge based and knowledge as a key resource in order to keep up with the changing market. Therefore, knowledge management became increasingly important which also was customer-centric throughout the whole supply chain in order to create customer value. With knowledge management being important, transfer barriers arose and as the increased collection of customer data was also evident as a result of organizations becoming tmore customer-centric and the rapid changes in technology. As a result of this, privacy issues about the data of the customer arose which lead to the implementation of GDPR. Research Questions: What are the challenges and possibilities of the processes of customer knowledge transfer between organizations in a distributor-dealer relationship? In what way has the implementation of GDPR affected the transfer of customer knowledge between a distributor and a dealer? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how customer knowledge is maintained and transferred between organizations within a distributor-dealer relationship. In addition, the paper aim to investigate what forces affects the processes of transferring customer knowledge within these types of relationships. Furthermore, the study investigates what effects transfer barriers and the implementation of GDPR has on customer knowledge transfer within a distributor-dealer relationship. Method: The paper investigated two cases. One case entailed one distributor and one dealer which had a relationship through a common supply chain. The qualitative data was obtained through 13 semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: This study proves that customer knowledge transfer has both challenges and possibilities in a supply chain with a distributor and dealer relationship. Furthermore, there are several factors that affect this transfer such as communication, customer relationship management and transfer barriers. In addition, GDPR has barely any impact on the customer knowledge transfer. However, it does have an impact on the processes of organizations and can be seen as an opportunity for organizations even if organizations sometimes choose to see the negative aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Ces dernières années, le contexte concurrentiel a démontré la nécessité de réformer la politique portuaire française. C’est ainsi que la réforme portuaire issue de la loi n°2008-660 du 4 juillet 2008 a créé les grands ports maritimes. Le modèle du « landlord port », autrement dénommé port propriétaire/aménageur, a été consacré en France. Le grand port maritime voit ses activités recentrées sur ses missions régaliennes, ses missions d’exploitation ayant été transférées aux opérateurs privés portuaires. Face aux contraintes domaniales, issues du droit administratif, les grands ports maritimes ont dû valoriser leur domaine portuaire en attirant les investisseurs privés et en développant leurs activités avec leur « hinterland ». Le partenariat public/privé est donc la solution pour améliorer la compétitivité des grands ports maritimes. Si du point de vue juridique, l’autorité portuaire est en position « dominante » par son rôle décisionnaire d’attribution d’espaces portuaires aux différents opérateurs, du point de vue économique, le rapport de force est inversé au profit des opérateurs. Il est donc indispensable de parvenir à équilibrer ces visions dans le respect du libre jeu de la concurrenceThese last years, the competitive context demonstrated the necessity of reforming the French port policy. This is how the port reform stemming from the law n°2008-660 of July 4th, 2008 created the Major seaports. The model of landlord port was recognized in France. The Major seaport sees its activities refocused on its kingly missions, its missions of operation having been transferred to the port private operators. In front of state property constraints, stemming from the administrative law, the Major seaports had to value their port domain by attracting the private investors and by developing their activities with their «hinterland». The public / private partnership is thus the solution to improve the competitiveness of the Major seaports. If, from the legal point of view, the port authority belongs in «dominant» position by its decision-making role of allocation of port spaces to the various operators, from the economic point of view, the balance of power is inverted for the benefit of the operators. It is thus essential to succeed in balancing these visions in the respect for the free play of competition

Full textAbstract:
Procédant dʼune volonté de modernisation et de rationalisation de lʼinstitution judiciaire, la présence des nouvelles technologies dans l’administration de la justice pénale est croissante. Ces outils esquissent un changement sans précédent, dans une institution pourtant marquée par un certain traditionalisme. Touchant aux aspects juridiques, symboliques, humains, et gestionnaires de lʼintervention judiciaire, cette émergence du numérique pose les jalons de la justice pénale du XXIe siècle. Inexorablement, le formalisme qui caractérise lʼinstant de justice, procédural ou ritualisé, subit de profondes modifications, parfois dans le sens dʼune altération ; le fond culturel fondamental de la justice pénal est alors mis à lʼépreuve. Entre influence néfaste et renouveau bénéfique, les apports de ces instruments du travail judiciaire sont marqués par lʼambivalence. La résistance obstinée semble inadaptée, et le modernisme irréfléchi au nom d’une optimisation des moyens de l’institution, à proscrire. Seule la régulation de lʼusage dʼoutils qui sʼimmiscent jusque dans le contenu de la décision de justice peut être gage dʼune évolution harmonieuse. Afin que cette transition technologique nʼinduise pas une dénaturation de lʼintervention judiciaire, mais constitue au contraire, une aide à la relégitimisation dʼune justice pénale encore traversée par une crise à la fois de confiance et fonctionnelle, un véritable processus dʼintégration des nouvelles technologies doit sʼinstaurer, mêlant considérations éthiques, juridiques et institutionnellesAs a result of a will to modernize and rationalize the legal institution, the use of new technologies in criminal courts administration is increasing. Nowadays, those tools of communication, information, and management represent essential ways of evolution of justice, at the heart of its performance. They imply an unprecedented change for an institution marked by a certain traditionalism. Related to judicial, symbolic, human and managerial aspects of the legal intervention, the emergence of digital is paving the way of (characterizing) the criminal justice in the XXI century. Inexorably, the formalism characterizing the justice moment, procedural or ritualized, is going through deep changes. Sometimes those changes are distorting the cultural founding of criminal justice. Between bad influence and beneficial renewal, the inputs of these judicial work tools are characterized by ambivalence. The obstinate opposition is inadequate. As the thoughtless modernism to optimize the institution tools, is to proscribe. The regulation of the tools’ practice, which is even involved in the content of the justice decision, is a necessity to ensure a smooth evolution. In order to avoid a denaturation of the legal intervention, a real integration processs of new technologies should be established, mixing ethical, legal and institutional considerations. In that way, this technological transition will be helping to legitimate the criminal justice, still affected by a functional and trust crisis

Full textAbstract:
The primary purpose of the study is to carry out an investigation into the role of listed real estate stocks in a mixed asset class investment portfolio in South Africa and what weighting should be allocated to this asset class. The study involved collecting data from the last ten years from January 1995 to December 2004 and then comparing the data against data collected from the investment management industry, especially those entities with exposure to direct property and listed property stock holdings over long periods. The study investigates the benefits of listed property stocks in an investment portfolio in South Africa, and empirically tests the data collected using the mean-variance theory to determine the impact of listed property stocks on the performance (maximising returns) and risk (minimising risk) of investment portfolios. The Elton and Gruber computer programme is used to test the data to give an optimal weighting to the sector and produce an efficient frontier. The weightings are then used to work out the efficiency of a portfolio as a result of the inclusion of listed property stocks, and comparing it to a portfolio of just two asset classes, namely equities and bonds, at 75% and 25% weightings respectively. The results demonstrated the benefits offered by listed real estate and revealed that the sector should be treated as a separate asset class from equities due to lower correlation of returns between these two asset classes. It also demonstrated that an increased allocation to the listed property sector would have resulted in better investment performance over the past ten years. The conclusions consistently pointed to the increased asset allocation of listed real estate in investment portfolios as the best long-term solution to diversification and volatility, as long as the liquidity and size of the sector improves. It is concluded in this study, that investment managers have underscored the relevance and allocation of listed real estate in investment portfolios in the past ten years, thus not optimising the performance and risk of their portfolios, as expected in retirement fund portfolios to the benefits of the members.Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2006.

Full textAbstract:
Under what conditions can one expect to see a sustained system of community management of forests in operation? Considerable theoretical scepticism has been expressed by economists and others about the viability of any such institution. In this view, such institutions will inevitably result in a "tragedy of the commons." However, evidence from around the world has accumulated in recent years which suggests that common property institutions do exist, and in some cases, have existed for a long time. Using archival sources in India and the U.K., this thesis explores the fate of community management of forests in a region of the central Himalayas known as Kumaun. Kumaun was under British administration over the period 1815-1949. The forests of the region were not under formal state management till the 1860s. In fact, there is evidence of customary cooperative arrangements--informal local institutions--before the arbitrary takeover of forests by the new administrators. The new property regime had a disruptive effect on local institutions and precipitated much deforestation, especially since the state did not have the logistical wherewithal to enforce the new forest rules at a time when local arrangements had lost credibility. Two schools of thought emerged within the state bureaucracy to address the emerging crisis of rapidly diminishing forests. The "centralizers" argued for more effective supervision and an increase in state power in order to protect the forests. The "devolutionists," by contrast, canvassed for decentralized management by user communities. Several decades of experimentation with centralized methods failed to protect forests effectively and caused much political protest. The government ultimately had to resurrect local institutions in the 1920s. In the beginning this was a failure, since community management had lost all credibility in the eyes of local users. However, persistent efforts by government officers finally paid off and the new system of van panchayats (village forest councils) finally solved a problem which the state, on its own, could not.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2019This study examines the effect of asset management on social work services delivery in the Department of Social Development (DSD), Capricorn District. The aim of the study was to explore factors that lead to the mismanagement of assets in the department. For social workers to deliver services or to operate, the Department of Social Development (DSD) as the employer must ensure that infrastructure (office space and facilities), information management and technology equipment must be provided to social welfare practitioners (employees). For their effective functioning, certain basic infrastructure and equipment are needed by social welfare service practitioners, particularly social workers who are legally obliged to provide services in a particular manner. The problem of lack of resources has been also observed and that service providers who are social workers end up using their own resources in an attempt to provide service delivery and administration of their duties as social workers. The objectives of this study were to examine the state of asset management in the department; to assess the effect of asset management on service delivery; and to propose strategies that may enable the department to deal with emerging issues. The study was guided by questions such as the following: What is the current state of asset management as it relates to service delivery? How does asset management affect service delivery? What strategies may enable the department to deal with emerging issues? The study adopted the qualitative research approach to collect primary data through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. It further used thematic content analysis to analyse data. Through the use of this approach, it was noted that asset problems have a negative impact on social work service delivery. From the data collected, the study revealed that there are numerous problems that social workers come across in the process of providing services and mainly because of lack of adequate assets. These problems affect service delivery negatively, and include lack of transport; insufficient office space; and lack of furniture, computers, printers and landline or cellular phones. Social work services cannot be properly, effectively and efficiently provided without adequate asset management. The study recommends that the DSD should provide social workers with assets in order to render better service. It is important for one to know that social work services and asset management are two related entities.

Full textAbstract:
O presente trabalho de investigação insere-se na área da Administração Educacional, centrando-se na questão da cultura organizacional de conservação e manutenção dos bens escolares.
No contexto nacional atual, à data do início do estudo, o estado de conservação e modernização do parque escolar era tema frequente de debate e discussão social e política.
O enquadramento teórico mobilizado para o estudo da problemática em questão focalizou-se nas questões de cultura, de cultura de escola, de cultura escolar e de cultura e clima organizacional, com uma breve referência às teorias da administração.
Apresentam-se ainda as principais razões da degradação dos espaços escolares, as formas de intervenção realizadas e as orientações fornecidas pelo organismo que tutela a educação em Portugal sobre a utilização, manutenção e valorização das escolas, bem como as políticas de intervenção na renovação e requalificação do parque escolar.
Do ponto de vista metodológico, esta investigação assentou numa abordagem de caráter qualitativo, numa perspetiva naturalista do tipo descritivo, interpretativo, centrada no estudo de caso de uma escola secundária com terceiro ciclo do ensino básico.
Para a concretização do estudo utilizaram-se, como instrumentos de recolha de dados, o inquérito por questionário aplicado aos diversos elementos da comunidade educativa e a análise documental. A interpretação dos dados obtidos foi realizada por intermédio do cruzamento dos mesmos com a literatura pesquisada e o enquadramento legislativo relativo à problemática em causa.
Neste estudo constata-se a importância da participação de toda a comunidade educativa na conservação e manutenção dos bens escolares, verificando-se que há fatores como o gosto pela escola e o envolvimento, por parte de toda a comunidade, nas decisões que fomentam essa participação, e outros que a desincentivam, tais como o distanciamento e a inadequada comunicação e ou informação entre os vários elementos dessa comunidade.This research, developed in the framework of the Educational Administration field, focus on the issue of the organizational culture of conservation and maintenance of school property. In the current national context, at the time this study began, the issue of the preservation and the modernization of school property was on high on the educational policy agenda. The theoretical framework mobilized to study the issue in question was focused on the concepts of culture, school culture, and organizational culture and climate, with a brief reference to the theories of administration. Also brought forward in this study, are the main reasons for the degradation of school property, the forms of the intervention undertaken and the guidelines provided by the governing body responsible for Education in Portugal, on the use, maintenance and upgrading of schools, as well as the intervention policies in their renovation and requalification. From the methodological point of view, this research was based on a qualitative, naturalistic perspective of the descriptive type, interpretative approach, focusing on the case study of a Secondary School that integrates the Third Cycle of the Basic Education1. The instruments of data collection used were the survey applied to the different bodies of the educational community and the document analysis. The interpretation of the data was performed through the intersection thereof with the literature and the legislative framework on the issue in question. The conclusions of the study suggest that the participation of the whole school community is a key factor in the conservation and maintenance of school property and that there are conditions that foster this participation (such as the emotional involvement with the school and the ownership, by the community, of the decisions about the school) and others that discourage it, such as the distancing and or the inadequate communication and information between the members of the school community.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to 1994, the South African Health Department was characterised by a fragmented health care system, which was largely curative and hospital based, with services planned and managed without community involvement and participation.
The government, through the establishment of a district health system, integrated the health services with the aim of overcoming the fragmentation, and providing integrated comprehensive health care services that are equitable, accessible, efficient and effective. The integration of health services in Gauteng, meant the devolution of primary health care services from the provincial health department to the local authority health department, because the local authority services are nearer and accountable to the community. The process of integration of health services also meant the closing down of provincial clinics and transferring of provincial authority nurses to the local authority clinics. The transfer process impacted negatively on staff morale and on the resources available for health care delivery to the communities.
It is against this background that the researcher decided to investigate the integration process. The researcher then conducted focus group interviews with the local authority nurses, provincial authority nurses and the district management team as these nurses's immediate supervisors. The results revealed that the local and provincial authority nurses were integrated without proper consultation and as a result integration was rejected. The following themes emerged from the results as negative perceptions and obstacles towards integration: lack of consultation, disparities in conditions of service and resistance to change. Positive perceptions also emerged from the results as strategies to improve the integration, and these strategies were used to develop guidelines to operationalise the model.
It is envisaged that the proposed model will serve as a theoretical framework for nurse managers from both spheres of government, local and provincial to improve the integration of nurses through proper consultation, and involvement of nurses in the process affecting them.
It is further envisaged that the model will serve as guideline to introduce changes within the district health system with more understanding and acceptance by nurses affected.
Health care managers will find the model useful to overcome disparities in conditions of service among nurses and, in turn this may boost the moral of nurses and lead to successful integration of provincial and local authority nurses.Health Studies
