Full textAbstract:
With the increasing understaning of the need for sustainable development, many are finding that existing systems of governance are not sufficiently complex to solve the environmental crisis (see Glasbergen, 2011; Brown et al., 2009). As a result, the recent years has seen the rise of public-private participation, strengthened by the endorsement of the concept by the World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002 (Andonova, 2010). In Europe, the concept of collaboration between state and private sector has been further endorsed by EUCETSA and former SWENTEC. Using a literature review to establish a theoretical basis, the study then embarks on a qualitative case-study of regional environmental technology networks. This study investigates the motivations causing the companies and networks to go into partnership with one another, and whether these motivations conflict. It also aims to find the perceived benefits of cooperation and the perceived end goals. The study finds that motivations for entering into partnership often seem to be business opportunity-oriented, although elements of risk, values, legal compliance and using existing capabilities also play a large role.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this research was to increase the knowledge base regarding Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software implementation, particularly in the public sector. To this end, factors regarding benefits sought through ERP system implementation and critical factors surrounding successful ERP implementation were identified. In addition, the perception of project team members' satisfaction with modules implemented and their concerns about implementing ERP software were identified in this study. The results of this study provided recommendations for public and private sector organizations in order to increase their opportunity for successful ERP system implementation. The literature review and results of this study found suggested that the benefits sought during ERP system implementation were consistent among public- and private-sector organizations. Benefits such as increased standardization, better reporting, and reduced operational costs were recognized as goals of ERP implementation. Factors that attributed to successful ERP system implementations were top management support, and knowledgeable project managers and team members. The t-test analyses found differences among the two groups, public and private sector organizations, regarding some benefits sought and the level of satisfaction with some modules. The study included recommendations for organizations to fully research ERP functionality prior to implementation, implement strong change management, use other means of measuring return on investment, ensure employee buy in and top management involvement, and avoid scope creep.<br>Ed.D.<br>Department of Educational Research, Technology and Leadership<br>Education<br>Educational Research, Technology, and Leadership

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação de mestrado consiste em um estudo de caso das contratações das parcerias público-privadas (PPPs) das Linhas 4 e 6 de metrô em São Paulo. A partir do estudo indutivo realizado, buscou-se compreender como os instrumentos jurídicos são efetivamente utilizados para viabilizar o provimento de uma atividade de interesse público para a população; a evolução institucional ocorrida no processo de aprendizagem de utilização dessas ferramentas; e o papel desempenhado pelas empresas estatais nesse novo cenário. Para tanto, o texto constrói a evolução das formas de concessão de serviços públicos e situa no plano histórico o surgimento e a adoção das PPPs como indicativos de uma nova forma de atuação estatal na economia. O estudo de caso foi elaborado a partir de análise documental e construção de narrativas, por entrevistas semiestruturadas, dos atores envolvidos nos processos de contratação das Linhas 4 e 6. A observação empírica revelou que as empresas estatais cumprem um papel fundamental na criação de arranjos institucionais funcionais para a viabilização dos empreendimentos conjuntos, exercendo uma função coordenação público-privada e promovendo aprendizado institucional. Também observou-se que complexos arranjos contratuais são utilizados como forma de separar as obrigações contratuais de demandas políticas, insulando os direitos do concessionário de alterações posteriores. Isso ficou evidente, especialmente, no tocante à diferenciação entre tarifa política e tarifa contratual, às garantias de pagamento de contraprestação e aporte e ao sistema de pagamentos de tarifas. Os resultados obtidos a longo dessa pesquisa acrescem ao conjunto de estudos que apontam para a inadequação de medidas institucionais de tamanho único para o desenvolvimento (teoria das dotações institucionais). A experiência indica que as PPPs estudadas foram bem-sucedidas justamente porque foram construídas a partir de soluções e arranjos institucionais específicos ao contexto em que estavam inseridas, levando em consideração as limitações e as potencialidades do direito local. Desse modo, a pesquisa conclui pela existência de um modelo brasileiro de PPPs que envolve, necessariamente, intermediação de empresas estatais na construção de arranjos institucionais cooperativos entre os atores públicos e privados.<br>This thesis is the written product of a case study of São Paulos Metro Lines 4 and 6 public-private partnerships contracts. The objectives of this empirical study were to fully understand how: the legal tools are handled in order to provide a public service to the people; the institutional development in the process of learning the use of these tools; and the role played by state-owned enterprises in this new context. In order to do so, the text builds on the historical evolution of state concessions and the emergence of PPPs as indicators of a new way of State intervention in the economy. The case study was made using documental analysis and the building of narratives, through interviews with the main actors in the processes of contracting out the services of metro. The empirical observation revealed that state-owned enterprises play a significant role in the making of functional institutional arrangements necessary to the existence and function of joint enterprises, working as a coordinator of the public-private relationship and promoting institutional learning. Also, it was noted that complex contractual arrangements are used as a way of detaching contractual obligations from political demands, insulating concessionarys rights from ulterior changes. This was evidenced, specially, by the description of the contractual differentiation of tariffs (political vs contractual), also by the structure of the counterparts warrantees, and by the payment system that was created. The results from this research add to the growing literature that points out the inadequacy of one size fits all institutional changes in order to promote development. The reported experience indicates that the PPP contracts were well succeeded precisely because they were built on context-specific solution and institutional arrangements, that took into account the limitations and potentialities of the local legal system. In this sense, the research shows the existence of a Brazilian model of PPP contracts that involves, necessarily, the intermediation of state-owned enterprises in the formation of cooperative institutional arrangements between public and private actors.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Nationalekonomiska institutionen, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-177108.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, different ways to evaluate social business are compared and discussed.The relatively new concept “social business” is used to describe a private sector enterprise, the purpose of which is not primarily to maximise profit but to achieve a social mission. However, in doing so, it needs to be sustainable in financial terms, and this means that sufficient profitability is a necessary condition. (Environmental sustainability is another important prerequisite, which is not discussed in depth here).Assessing the success of a social business, it is therefore necessary to evaluate both the social impact and the financial viability. This means, on one hand, using appropriate evaluation methods that have mainly been developed for the public sector and the civil society. Such methods are based on unequal power relations requiring accountability – a concept not normally used in the private sector, where funding is based on a voluntary exchange of money for goods or services. On the other hand, not all traditional methods for assessing performance in a private sector company are suitable for determining financial sustainability in a social business. Nevertheless, existing methods should be used where appropriate.Among the findings are:- the importance of the local context and particular features, which makes comparisons between different social businesses difficult, and which necessitates adaptions of assessment methods- that several financial indicators, used for for-profit business, may also be useful for social business (especially those related to revenue trends and liquidity). However such indicators are based on accounting (history) rather than a forward-looking analysis of the business environment, and may not be fully comparable.- that the main purpose of impact evaluation is the need to improve operations, but also to enhance legitimacy among stake-holders and – to some extent – regulators and prospective investors. Stake-holder involvement is therefore normally an advantage.- that methods that build on monetising outcomes and impacts (for example Social Return on Investment) are normally less appropriate than models that use non-monetary forms for publishing evaluation results, eg. anecdotal analyses- that with the exception of evaluations done by the academia to increase knowledge, available resources will normally not be sufficient to carry out fully fledged external evaluations using methods to establish a counterfactual situation.The development of social business also challenges traditional economic assumptions of the profit maximising individual through introducing such concepts as solidarity, social capital and citizenship. The fact that in several ways, social business crosses the borderline between on one hand the private sector and on the other hand public sector and civil society makes it necessary for representatives from many different academic fields to cooperate closely in future research: economics, business administration, political and social scientists etc.

Previous issue date: 2008-09-05<br>This study aims to investigate the differences in organizational culture between public
and private enterprises in the manufacturing and service sectors as well as to highlight
some features that have been identified as typical of public organizations, to enable the
distinction between public enterprises and private. However, this effort should not be
regarded as an interest to criticize the enterprise public, as both have been identified in
the literature. The study is structured in ten chances from the results of research of
scholars in the area. Was used as a tool to search a wide Brazilian, already validated, to
measure the values and organizational practices embedded in organizational culture.
The data were analyzed using SPSS in the Student's t-test and linear correlation
coefficient of Pearson, allowing the testing of hypotheses of the study. The results
revealed significant differences between public and private enterprise regarding the
adoption of values and practices of organizational culture. Unlike the results between
enterprises of the sectors of manufacturing and service, with no differences in
organizational culture. I conclude that there are significant differences in organizational
culture between public and private enterprises, which indicate the need for attention by
the managers of these organizations. Thus, in comparison, three issues deserve
attention: the practice of integrating foreign, practices of training and professionalism
and reward competitive and individualistic.<br>Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar as diferen?as na cultura organizacional

Full textAbstract:
Title: A Comparison of the Equity-supportiveness of Organizational Cultures of (Public) NHS Organizations and (Private) Social Enterprise (SE) Providers Theory: New Public Management (NPM) has been the most influential paradigm in public administration in the last three decades. NPM-driven ideas such as provider competition, privatisation and patient choice have resulted in increased interest from recent UK governments in Social Enterprises (SEs) for delivering public health services. NPM-based changes have been criticized for creating inequitable provision of healthcare and increasing unjust health inequalities. It is worth asking whether equity for patients is promoted equally effectively by public (NHS) organizations and SE providers. Research Aims and Methodology: A mixed methods approach was employed. The quantitative strand used a survey to compare the equity-supportiveness of NHS and SE organizational cultures [124 respondents (68 NHS and 56 SE staff) from 21 organizations (12 NHS and 9 SEs)]. The qualitative strand used semi-structured interviews with 27 SE staff members to examine organizational changes in SEs and the impact of these changes on equity in service provision. Findings: By achieving better alignment with organizational values, reducing bureaucracy, speeding up decision-making, giving staff more autonomy and responsibility, encouraging initiative, risk-taking and innovation, involving staff more actively in strategic decision-making, and making better use of technology, Social Enterprises are promoting equity to an equal or greater degree than public (NHS) organizations. Implications: However, the SE model (currently limited to community healthcare services) remains unclear and problematic, suggesting caution in its use by larger NHS acute Trusts. More research is needed before a policy to support the adoption of the SE model in public service delivery is mainstreamed.

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais<br>O turismo é atualmente considerado um setor estratégico e relevante para a economia portuguesa. Todavia, a maioria das empresas que nele operam são de pequena e média dimensão, e que sentem dificuldades em investir e subsistir à medida que atuam isoladamente num mercado global.
Este projeto pretende aferir, de acordo com a visão dos operadores turísticos, o potencial e viabilidade das parcerias público-privadas para o desenvolvimento do turismo e de projetos turísticos, assim como definir as condições essenciais para tais parcerias atingirem o sucesso. Considerando estes objetivos, recorreu-se ao método Delphi a duas fases como ferramenta de investigação qualitativa, procurando recolher a opinião de um painel de profissionais e académicos especialistas nas áreas do turismo, gestão de projetos turísticos e financiamento.
Os resultados da investigação demonstram que, sendo o principal problema do setor turístico em Portugal a falta de cooperação entre stakeholders, não só é possível como viável aplicar PPP no turismo. Verificou-se também que o Estado deveria adotar um papel de facilitador de investimento e que, aquando da negociação, devem ser garantidas a transparência, a justa partilha de risco e benefícios, e a devida monitorização desde o início do acordo. Por fim, foi possível destacar as áreas mais importantes do turismo para possíveis aplicações de PPP no futuro.<br>Tourism is nowadays considered a strategic and important sector for the Portuguese economy. However, the majority of companies that operate in it are small and medium companies that are struggling to invest and to survive, while acting separately in a global market.
This project intends to assess the potential and feasibility of public-private partnerships in tourism according to the operators' perspective, as well as to define the key conditions for these partnerships to achieve success. Considering these objectives, a two-phased Delphi method was used as a tool for qualitative data research. The goal was to seek the opinion of a panel of specialized professionals and academics in the fields of tourism, tourism projects management and financing.
The results from the investigation show that while the main issue in the tourism sector in Portugal is the lack of cooperation between stakeholders, it is both possible and feasible to apply PPP in tourism. The State should adopt the role of an investment facilitator and, while negotiating, there should be guarantees for the contract's transparency, its fair share of risks, and an appropriate monitoring routine implementation from the start of the deal. Finally, it was also possible to highlight the main tourism areas in which possible PPP should be applied in the future.

Le thème de la privatisation des entreprises publiques constitue, pour un pays comme l’Algérie, un sujet nouveau compte tenu des moyens Et des richesses que à la recherche d’un développement rapide tout en essayant d’intégrer les règles del’économie de marché en vue d’un passage à une économie ouverte sans pour autant que les décideurs affichent leurs véritables intentions politiques. Dans son discours, devant les élus en 2007, le président BOUTEFLIKA a reconnupubliquement que l’Etat s’est trompé dans ses grands choix économiques, faisant allusion à la loi sur les hydrocarbures. Un recul qui remet en cause la politique de privatisation dans sa globalité. Si l’économie de marché nécessite en premier lieu le respect des règles d’une concurrence loyale avec un minimum d’ouverture sur le secteur privé, le cas de l’Algérie dans son processus de privatisation nous renvoie sur un certains nombres d’éléments d’analyses de la situation économique de ce pays qui tente de sortir d’une économie dirigée imposée par un pouvoir qui cherche une légitimité pourgouverner.

In 2007, in his speech, before the elected mayors, President Bouteflika publicly admitted that the state was mistaken in its important Economic choices, referring to the hydrocarbon law.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Durante a década de 1970, ocorreu, no Brasil, a fase pioneira de internacionalização das empresas privadas brasileiras do setor de prestação de serviços de engenharia de construção. Essa internacionalização deu-se, apesar da ausência de uma política estruturada do setor público. A incapacidade estatal de perceber esse processo como algo profícuo em seus planos, impediu o governo de criar uma política consolidada para a multiplicação dessas empresas no exterior. Essa miopia estatal é percebida tanto na esfera da política doméstica, voltada para manter uma política de substituição de importação dentro das fronteiras, como, na política externa, ao desenvolver uma internacionalização das empresas públicas ao invés das do setor privado. Essa situação pode ser percebida no caso analisado da empresa privada brasileira Mendes Júnior, que ingressou no mercado iraquiano mais por conta própria do que em decorrência de uma política estatal brasileira.<br>During the 1970s, occurred in Brazil the pioneer step of private sector internationalization process of Brazilian building companies. This process, however, was made without the presence of a well-structured public policy. The incapacity of public administration to observe this process as something able to provide benefits, halted the Brazilian government to create a policy able to multiply the presence of private building companies of boards. This public myopia is observed not only in the domestic sphere, directed to continue the import substitution policy inside borders, but also, in the international sphere, when government directed efforts to internationalize public enterprises instead of the private ones. This situation can be seen um the case of Brazilian private enterprise, called Mendes Junior, which entered in Iraqi market more by its efforts than by governmental support.

Mestrado em Gestão e Estratégia Industrial<br>A recente crise financeira global veio agravar substancialmente aquele que permanece como um dos principais desafios que se colocam às PME: o acesso ao financiamento, visando garantir a implementação das suas estratégias de crescimento.
Não obstante do crédito bancário tender a manter-se como o instrumento financeiro preferencial para as PME em determinados países, não será menos verdade que a perspetiva económico-financeira mundial apela a uma crescente adoção de instrumentos financeiros designados alternativos, nomeadamente instrumentos de capital, considerando as vantagens associadas.
O presente Trabalho Final de Mestrado pretendeu identificar os fatores de enquadramento institucional, mas também os fatores intrínsecos à realidade das PME, que tendem a restringir o desenvolvimento do setor do Capital de Risco em Portugal. A prossecução do objetivo deste Trabalho materializou-se na realização de um estudo empírico onde foram inquiridas dez entidades relevantes no contexto da oferta de financiamento, quer do lado dos agentes públicos, quer do lado dos operadores privados.
Como principais resultados da análise empírica realizada, destaca-se, na perspetiva do investidor de Capital de Risco, o fator cultural e o desenvolvimento do mercado financeiro como aspetos que parecem restringir relevantemente o crescimento desta atividade em Portugal. Por outro lado, na ótica das PME, foi recolhida evidência empírica suficiente para aferirmos quanto à importância de aspetos como a manifesta insuficiência dos seus capitais próprios, o seu elevado receio de perda de controlo das empresas, assim como também a existência de poucas competências no domínio financeiro e de muito desconhecimento sobre a indústria do Capital de Risco.<br>The recent financial global crisis has substantially worsened the factor that remains as one of the main challenges faced by the SMEs: the access to finance, to ensure the implementation of their growth strategies.
Even though bank credit seems to remain the preferential financing instrument for SMEs in some countries, the global financial-economic scenario calls for a growing adoption for alternative financing instruments, such as equity instruments, considering the associated advantages.
This Master's Thesis intended to identify what are the factors regarding the institutional framework and also the intrinsic aspects related to the reality of SMEs, which tend to restrict the development of the venture capital industry in Portugal. The pursuit of the objective of this Thesis materialized in the realization of an empirical study in which ten relevant institutions were surveyed considering the perspective of the financing supply, both from public and private operators.
As the main results of this empirical analysis, we can highlight, from the venture capital investor's perspective, the cultural factor and the financial market development are indeed aspects that seem to influence significantly the growth of this activity in Portugal. On the other hand, from the SME's point of view, it was collected sufficient empirical evidence to conclude about the relevance of factors such as their insufficient equity capitals, their high fear of losing control over their companies, their lack of skills about finance and also a high degree of ignorance regarding the venture capital industry.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Além de abordar o papel do Estado como acionista de sociedades privadas e a compatibilidade dessa forma de intervenção com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, promove-se uma releitura da doutrina e jurisprudência sobre as sociedades de economia mista e sobre as empresas públicas. Estuda-se as razões que levam o Estado a intervir na economia de uma maneira geral, seja de forma direta ou indireta, a partir das teorias econômicas normativas e descritivas sobre a intervenção estatal na economia. Discorre-se sobre os fundamentos constitucionais à intervenção do Estado na economia e os possíveis motivos para a criação de empresas estatais e participação minoritária em sociedades privadas, bem como sobre os condicionamentos impostos pelo princípio da livre iniciativa à intervenção do Estado na economia, em especial à luz da jurisprudência dos Tribunais Superiores. Foram abordados, ainda, os princípios da eficiência, da livre concorrência e da proporcionalidade, que também constituem fundamentos e limites gerais à intervenção do Estado na economia, além da necessidade de autorização legal. Além de apresentarmos um breve resumo da discussão histórica sobre a criação das empresas estatais no Brasil e os motivos para a escolha de um ou outro tipo de sociedade estatal, analisa-se o regime jurídico aplicável a essas entidades, à luz dos dispositivos constitucionais e da jurisprudência sobre o tema, incluindo-se o estudo do seu regime de pessoal, de bens, tributário, licitações, contratual, responsabilidade civil e falência. Estudaremos, ainda, as formas de controle incidentes sobre essas entidades. Por fim, a dissertação também abrange o estudo da intervenção do Estado como acionista minoritário em sociedades privadas, abordando os motivos para essa participação societária, bem como a natureza dessa intervenção. Trata-se de empresas controladas pela iniciativa privada, mas que têm algum grau de participação estatal em seu capital. São muitos os motivos que podem levar o Poder Público a participar sem poder de controle em empresas privadas. A participação minoritária pode visar a permitir um maior controle do Estado sobre a empresa participada, ou mesmo a tomada de controle gradual de determinada companhia, mas também pode constituir uma forma de parceria entre a iniciativa estatal e a privada, como forma mais eficiente de fomento de atividades consideradas de interesse público ou de compartilhamento de riscos e custos envolvidos em determinada atividade explorada pelo Poder Público e pela iniciativa privada. Aborda-se a relação das sociedades meramente participadas com a Administração pública, bem como os condicionamentos constitucionais à participação minoritária estatal sem controle em sociedades privadas (proporcionalidade, eficiência, necessidade de autorização legal, realização de procedimento licitatório com vista à escolha do parceiro privado, e controle do Tribunal de Contas da União).<br>This dissertation discusses the limits imposed to State intervention in the economy under corporate form and the respective control enforced. Further, to approach the role played by the State as shareholder on private Companies and the compatibility of this form of intervention with the Brazilian legal order, it promotes a doctrine and jurisprudential rereading over joint capital Companies and public capital Companies. It studies the reasons for a direct or indirect State intervention in the economy, from a normative and descriptive economic perspectives. It also analyses the constitutional fundaments for the economic intervention and possible reasons for the creation of state-owned enterprises and public-private companies without state control. It also approaches the principles of free market, efficiency, competition and proportionality, that constitute fundaments and general limits for the state interventionism on the market, besides the necessity of legal authorization. After a brief introduction about the historical discussion over Brazilian state owned enterprises, it analyzes the applicable law for those entities, according to constitutional jurisprudence over this theme, including the regime of labor, goods, taxes, bidding, contracts, liability and bankruptcy. It also encompasses the study of the forms of control falls on those entities. Finally, this dissertation also reaches the State as a minority shareholder on private Companies, landing reasons for this shareholder intervention. These companies, as not being controlled by the state partner, are not included in private and public joint stock companys definition given by the Decree-law n200/67. Its about corporations controlled by the private initiative, but with some degree of state participation on their capital. There are many reasons that may take the Public Power to participate without control power in private companies. The minority participation may aim to allow a bigger control by the State over the under-taking company, or even the gradual investiture of control on determined company, but may also constitute a way of partnership between public and private initiatives, as a more efficient way of promotion of activities considered of public interest or sharing risks and costs involved in certain activity explored by the Public Power and by the private initiative. This study gives special attention to the constitutional basis and limits for this kind of State intervention on the economy, as well as the incident control over it, with emphasis on the control done by the Brazilian Superior Audit Institution.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last three decades, scholars in management, policy, and geography have examined the growing economic, social, and spatial impact of the financial sector. Venture capital firms have been a focus, generating a contested but deep literature around the roles of such "value-adding" capital providers in supporting the growth of firms, industries, and various territorial innovation models. In parallel, there has been substantial government support-financial, regulatory, and otherwise-of these private sector financial intermediaries, despite scepticism. The past twenty years have seen the emergence and rapid growth of analogous funders in the third sector, itself the realm of substantial experimentation and growth. These new intermediaries, "venture philanthropists", have become important players in shaping, structuring, and channelling funding to the third sector. The activities and effects of venture philanthropists are underexplored, as are their growing interactions with governments-despite intentional and striking similarities between the evolution of venture capital and that of venture philanthropy. This dissertation addresses these gaps by systematically examining the emergence, evolution, and operational practices of two influential British venture philanthropy funds: the first such fund in Europe (Impetus Trust) and the first fund in the world co-created with the state (Inspiring Scotland). The two venture philanthropy organisations (VPOs)-one with roots in venture capital, the other with roots in the voluntary and government sectors-both conducted the venture capital-inspired operational model of venture philanthropy in similar ways. That said, the VPOs reflected the logics and practices of their founders and funders. Impetus Trust more closely resembled early-stage venture capital, with a reliance on London-based networks, funders, and service providers-and a heavily London-focused portfolio. Inspiring Scotland evidenced the logics of government rather than charity in several instances, with substantial original research into social issues, heavily structured portfolios on set timelines, and regionally-distributed staff. This approach broadened access, allowing support of SPOs and their clients across various (and underserved) geographies, but limited options for opportunity-driven or expressive functions of philanthropy. I surveyed the CEOs of most organisations supported by the two venture philanthropy funds (82 of 98 charities and social businesses), supplemented by interviews of selected CEOs and the founders and staff of the two funds. I find that, overall, the two VPOs each engaged in seven core activities of venture capital, intentionally adapting them to the third sector: sourcing and selection, due diligence, an engaged relationship, provision of funding, provision of non-financial support, creation of network linkages, and intentional exiting of relationships. As in venture capital, this process had broader effects: providing signals of investee quality, preparing investees for subsequent funding, and expanding networks. The combination of long-term relationships and high formal reporting requirements imposed significant costs for SPOs-and also created a virtuous cycle of trust and collaboration between VPOs and SPOs. The venture philanthropy model also had broader societal effects, creating data regarding individual organisations and the efficacy of responses to social issues, which in both cases informed policy. As intermediaries, venture philanthropists decreased power differentials and improved the flow of (oft-anonymized) information amongst funders, statutory bodies, and funded organisations, facilitating several types of collaboration. SPO managers indicated that they received, on average, approximately ten different types of non-financial support-like strategy consulting, human resources support, or legal counsel. These managers reported in interviews and surveys that the non-financial services provided by venture philanthropists were highly valued, on average. Further, managers believed these services provided more value than it cost the VPOs to provide them. Likewise, managers highly valued most forms of new networking connections (though not all services or linkages were found to be valuable). Smaller SPOs valued services and network links more highly than larger SPOs, although all sizes of SPOs indicated both were valuable, on average. Importantly, this data was provided by SPO managers and focused on the SPO-VPO dyad-rather than provided by VPOs and focused at the portfolio or trust level. This filled an important gap in the literature: academics and practitioners often lament that the voices of charities supported by foundations are not often enough heard, which limits our understanding of many aspects of organizational philanthropy and its effects-in particular the burdens and benefits for recipient organisations. I documented the co-creation of the first government-supported venture philanthropy fund through eleven interviews with founding managers and government officials. This model, in which state, private, and civil society actors collectively founded and funded a value-adding capital provider, militates against neoliberal assumptions of an ever-diminishing state, as does the leveraging of private resources in alignment with state aims-though it raises concerns around democratic processes, accountability, and local control. This work helps inform the changing nature of the voluntary sector and its relationship with the state. I focus on the increasing interaction of actors between and across systems-sometimes in new roles and coordinated by new intermediaries-in the allocation of resources and delivery of services in the public interest. These new interactions inform broad bodies of work that seek to understand changing sectoral roles, most notably discourses surrounding neoliberalism(s), financialisation, and public management. Overall, I find privately- and publicly-funded venture philanthropy playing a role in the third sector analogous to the role of venture capital in the private sector, with similar practices and concomitant effects in data generation, network formation and strengthening, facilitating partnerships, and signalling the quality of supported organisations. By examining two such emerging models of capital provision, I contribute grounded understanding of the way such systems are created and function across the private, public, and third sectors.

L’accélération des changements politiques et socioéconomiques influe fortement sur l’équilibre budgétaire des organisations publiques. Elles sont contraintes de tendre vers un modèle d’organisation plus réactif et flexible. Pour les organisations publiques, l’enjeu est de déterminer la meilleure hybridation public-privée, déclinée en une structure réticulaire, permettant d’assurer la performance économique de leurs services mais également la création de valeur publique. Ces réorganisations présentent de nombreux écueils insuffisamment adressés par la littérature en gestion publique. Elle analyse les évolutions et les lacunes en matière de management dans la sphère publique mais elle ne propose que rarement les méthodes et outils supportant les formes de management qu’elle recommande. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de cette thèse est de s’approprier la littérature en gestion publique pour y apporter un nouveau regard et proposer la mise en oeuvre de modèles, méthodes et outils du génie industriel. Ainsi, nous proposons un méta-modèle et un cadre méthodologique pour l’ingénierie d’une organisation étendue. Cette proposition vise à maîtriser la complexité d’une structure réticulaire sans nuire à l’autonomie des organisations (publiques et/ou privées) qui la composent. La mise en oeuvre de la méthodologie proposée est illustrée par le biais d’un cas d’école inspiré de la fonction habillement du ministère des Armées : le scénario d’une externalisation de cette fonction habillement est étudié en prenant en considération son inclusion dans une structure réticulaire<br>The increasing of political and socio-economic changes strongly influences the budget balance of public organizations. They are constrained to move towards a more reactive and flexible organizational model. For public organizations, the challenge is to determine the best public-private hybridization, into a reticular structure, ensuring the economic performance of their services but also the creation of public value. These reorganizations present many pitfalls that are insufficiently addressed by public management literature. It analyzes management changes and gaps in the public sphere, but rarely suggests the methods and tools that support the forms of management it recommends. In this context, the aim of this thesis is to review the public management literature in order to bring a new perspective and propose the implementation of models, methods and tools of industrial engineering. Thus, we propose a meta-model and a methodological framework for the engineering of an extended organization. This proposal aims at controlling the complexity of a reticular structure without damaging the autonomy of the organizations (public and/or private) that compose it. The implementation of the proposed methodology is illustrated by a textbook case inspired by the clothing function of the French armies: the scenario of an outsourcing of this clothing function is studied taking into account its inclusion in a reticular structure

This study gathers, compiles and examines demographic and financial information on 585 private and public companies that operate in the Private Military Industry. The demographic analysis reveals that an overwhelming majority of firms are privately held and offered no financial information. Firm inception dates are closely correlated with past and current world events. Majority of the private firms founders have military or government backgrounds and are located in the United States and United Kingdom. Using Singer's and Avant's classification of the Private Military Industry, the study determines that most firms are not restricted to one classification as they operate in more then one arena. The analysis of public firms reveals that revenues and profits have been increasing steadily since 2003 as well as operating expenses, shrinking profit margins. The public firm analysis presents the financial relationships between the Initial Public Offerings, locations, and employee numbers to the success of the companies. Overall this study and the analysis of the Private Military Firms offer insight into the prevalence of the Private Military Industry in the business world and how financially rewarding it can be.

Full textAbstract:
Since the inception of economic reform, China has undergone comprehensive changes which have stimulated substantial research on various aspects of Chinese society. In recent years, research on management and organisation in China has grown rapidly, but with relatively little attention being devoted to the ethnographic analysis of private enterprises, despite the fact that such enterprises play a crucial role in China’s economy and make a significant contribution to labour employment. A lack of close, personal and meaningful access to everyday organisational activities is often cited as one of the main reasons preventing such research. This thesis attempts to fill the gap through investigating the everyday nature of management and managerial work in seven large private shipbuilding enterprises in China. In so doing it seeks to provide ethnographic answers to one main question – what are the characteristic features of the emerging management systems employed in private enterprises in contemporary China? In so doing the research investigates how such systems have evolved and the ways in which they impact on the nature of everyday managerial work.Research that seeks to understand the reality of management and managerial work however is not research that deals exclusively with static or structural organisational phenomena. Instead it is also research that requires sensitivity to changing events and processes – ones that interact constantly with elements of a complex and dynamic environment. It is argued here that such research demands a theoretical framework capable not only of appreciating the diversity of formal management systems in contemporary China, but which can also incorporate informal social and cultural factors into its analysis. To establish sensitivity both to structural and cultural phenomena the research approach developed here is one that combines two, very different, sociological theories - labour process theory (LPT, derived from Braverman, 1974) and Chaxugeju theory (derived from Fei, 1947). On the one hand, LPT offers a framework for appreciating structural forces stimulating changes to management systems and managerial work. On the other hand, Chaxugeju theory facilitates appreciation of how cultural, historical and social factors are synthesized in rules and principles that characterise the operation of society and the values and logics that guide human action, Taken together, the combination of LPT and Chaxugeju facilitates the analytical connection of micro and macro forms of analysis, and thus the appreciation of a range of interacting systems (economic, ideological, social etc.) of relevance to understanding the nature of management and work organization in contemporary China.Given the nature and form of both the research questions and theoretical framework, a research design based on ethnography is chosen as the primary methodological approach. As the research not only studies the systems of management in China’s private enterprises, but also managerial experiences, behaviour and subjectivity in relation to changing circumstances, an ethnographic approach that commits extensive time to the field, interacts extensively with actors, generates rich data, and detailed and ‘thick’ description of the observed works well for this research. As to the case study organisations, shipbuilding companies were chosen for three main reasons: (i) the importance of shipbuilding industry to the Chinese economy, (ii) the rapid growth and significance of private enterprises in the industry, and (iii) (at a more personal level) the extensive connections and previous work experience of the researcher in the shipbuilding sector. At a general level, the findings reported in the thesis reflect that the evolution of management systems in China’s private enterprises is the product of the interaction of a range of internal factors specific to the firm and many external forces related to China’s transitional economy. As such, issues of cultural, social and historical inheritance are assessed together with those of economic interaction/processes of globalisation to document how these forces influence events at the organisational level. On the one hand, the research describes trends towards convergence with the status and nature of ‘global’ managerial work, despite a Chinese firm’s specific ownership origins, current ownership status, and (re)structuring strategies. In so doing the data demonstrate how managerial work in China’s private enterprises is experiencing fundamental changes; for example, the on-set of greater job scope, knowledge/skill levels, organizational control, responsibilities, incentive mechanisms, and relationship-based managerial ethics. On the other hand, the findings also suggest that within China’s transitional economy, private firms still incorporate aspects of traditional Chinese management. Such methods are often reminiscent of erstwhile state-owned practices and can function as a strategy for minimizing internal resistance to change. Findings suggest that the current ‘hybrid’ character of management in private enterprises in China will endure for a considerable period of time. China’s traditional management and its values still have a strong influence on firm practices, especially in terms of people management. In many respects the social character of the workplace functions in the spirit of Chaxugeju, with the fundamental organisational rules and behavioural patterns remaining largely unchanged, as individual-based social relationships substitute for formal institutions in the firm. These findings are all explained through detailed ethnographic description and analysis. Finally, perhaps the major contribution of the research which underpins this thesis is to reduce the gap between the perception and reality of management and managerial work in China’s private firms. Insights into the daily working lives of managers are provided which reveal the deep philosophies underlying apparently rationalized practices and behaviours. Research on such intimate management phenomena is of benefit to organizational research in that it supplements the more ‘global’ style of analysis common in appreciations of Chinese corporate behaviour. The study thus adds a deeper, qualitative level of analysis to the mainstream managerial research landscape on China. Theoretically it shows the practicability and value of combining an indigenous Chinese theory (Chaxugeju) with an established western paradigm (LPT) to analyze and interpret ethnographic organisational phenomena. It thus reminds us of the importance of looking beyond the boundary of specific academic theories when developing and applying our ideas, especially when exploring international and transitional economies.

The thesis investigates private versus public space and the natural tendency for an individual to seek out its own place within a group. More specifically, the project studies whether private and public could not only occupy the same geographic space independently, but also activate one another.
A library was chosen as the program for its opportunity to serve as a â third placeâ in the community. A â third placeâ is a neutral ground that is neither a home nor workplace. The benefit of such a place is to stimulate conversation and interaction, to provide a way to either hide or be seen, and to encourage social cohesion as people meet that may not have through normal daily life.
The site is on the corner of 12th and H Streets NE in Washington, DC. Its location in a rebounding streetscape demands that the library give the surrounding context a large role in its design. Public space is a priority, and the building is porous to extend the exterior into the interior and vice versa.

Full textAbstract:
<p>A public private partnership is an alternative to procurement of the facility by the public sector, using funding from tax revenues or public borrowing. In a typical public sector procurement, the public authority sets out the specifications and design of the facility, calls for bids on the basis if this detailed design, and pays for construction of the facility by a private sector contractor. The public authority has to fund the full cost of construction, including cost overruns. Operation and maintenance of the facility are handled by the public authority and the contractor takes no responsibility for the long term performance of the facility after the construction warranty period has expired. In a public private partnership, on the other hand, the authority specifies its requirements in terms of outputs, which set out the public services which the facility is intended to provide, but which do not specify how these are to be provided. It is then left to the private sector to design, finance, build and operate the facility to meet the longterm output specifications. The project company receives payments over the life of the PPP contract, which are supposed to repay the financing costs and give a return to investors. The payments are subject to deductions for failure to meet output specifications, and there is no extra allowance for cost overruns which happen during construction or in operation of the facility.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This thesis increases the understanding of public-private partnerships (PPPs) by examining their development in a centralized public procurement context. The thesis discusses on how the actors in centralized public procurement participate in the development of PPPs and what drives and challenges the actors to transit from traditional transactional arm’s length tendering to partnership thinking in public procurement. The PPP research is integrated into the research stream of Industrial Marketing and Purchasing (IMP) and the interaction approach to recognize PPPs as socially constructed during the public procurement process. The triadic approach is applied to regard PPP development as dynamic and examine the relationship dynamics between the three actors of centralized public procurement. The empirical setting of the thesis rests on a qualitative case study design using two cases. It analyzes PPP development in a standardized product procurement of food and a more diversified service procurement of home nursing. The empirical data is primarily acquired through qualitative interviews, which are supported by information from written documents and seminars on procurement regulations and procedures. The thesis shows that the development of PPPs in the context of centralized public procurement is an ongoing and dynamic process, in which the three actors actively participate by initiating, building, and facilitating the development process. The thesis further finds that cooperative interaction contributes to PPP development by increasing knowledge exchange and promoting the transition from transactional procurement logic to partnering in public procurement. The procurement type and the network in which the PPP is embedded influence the process by reflecting the actors’ ways of participating in the process and how trust is built between them. The thesis further shows how relationship dynamics influence the process in the triadic setting; that is, the procurement logic of a single actor or the logic underlying the relationship of two actors engender and intensify the problems or promote the partnership thinking in the triad. The findings of this thesis aid managers to identify how they can proactively foster the development of PPPs in centralized public procurement, and identify the influence of relationship dynamics on the process<br>Tiivistelmä Tässä väitöskirjassa keskitytään julkisten ja yksityisten organisaatioiden välisten kumppanuussuhteiden kehittämiseen keskitetyssä julkisessa hankintakontekstissa.

Tutkimuksessa esitetään, että julkisten ja yksityisten organisaatioiden välisten kumppanuussuhteiden kehittäminen keskitetyssä hankintaprosessissa on jatkuva ja dynaaminen prosessi, johon kolme toimijaa osallistuvat aktiivisesti käynnistämällä, luomalla tai tukemalla prosessia. Työssä tunnistetaan myös, että yhteistyöllinen vuorovaikutus edistää kumppanuutta lisäämällä tiedon vaihdantaa ja tukemalla toimijoiden siirtymistä perinteisestä transaktionaalisesta hankinta-logiikasta kohti kumppanuutta. Hankintatyyppi ja laajempi verkosto, johon suhde on kytkeytynyt, vaikuttavat siihen, kuinka toimijat osallistuvat kumppanuuden kehittämiseen ja kuinka luottamus siinä syntyy. Tutkimus havainnollistaa myös kumppanuuden kehittämisen dynamiikkaa triadissa suhteessa. Yhden toimijan tai kahden toimijan välisten ongelmien huomattiin synnyttävän ja voimistavan ongelmien kehittymistä kaikkien kolmen toimijan välillä ja toisin päin; yhden toimijan tai kahden toimijan välinen kumppanuus vahvistaa kumppanuutta triadissa. Tutkimus tarjoaa yritysjohdolle tietoa siitä, kuinka kumppanuutta voi vahvistaa keskitetyssä julkisessa hankinnassa ja siitä, kuinka tunnistaa prosessiin vaikuttavia dynamiikkoja

Full textAbstract:
The apparent dichotomy between public and private morality and the problem of justifying 'raison d'etat' has been a constant problem in political philosophy since the publication of Machiavelli's 'II Principe'. In this thesis the conflict between personal morality and the demands of public office are examined in the light of the ethical and political systems of Hobbes, Locke, Bentham, Kant and Bosanquet all of which to a greater or lesser extent fail not only to answer the questions raised but to provide a comprehensive justification of the grounds for ethical conduct. It is contended here that the morality of self perfection, coupled with the acceptance of the notion of Natural Law as a yardstick against which both legislation and executive acts of public officials can be judged, does provide a unifying moral principle capable of bridging the gap between political action and private conscience. Statesmen, politicians and public officials cannot shirk the hard decisions that often go with public office but if they recognise a wrongful act for what it is and subscribe to a morality which includes an ethic of character then the chances of their being corrupted are greatly reduced.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Public reason theorists argue that it is permissible for the state to enforce political norms, such as laws or constitutional principles, when those norms are acceptable to ?reasonable people.? Reasonable people are neither actual people, with all their flaws, nor are they perfect people; they are rather a partially idealized group ? realistic in some ways and idealized in others. Each of the major public reason theorists ? John Rawls, Gerald Gaus, Jonathan Quong, Joshua Cohen ? idealizes reasonable people to a different degree, but they all share two claims: 1) Reasonable people hold diverse views of the good life. Nevertheless, 2) Reasonable people can all accept basic liberal political norms grounded in freedom and equality.
My dissertation begins by arguing that theorists are not free to choose any level of idealization, but are constrained in this choice by the justifications of their theories. In particular, idealization is constrained by one essential part of public reason?s justification, which I call the ?diversity argument.? The diversity argument explains the first element of reasonable people: why do they disagree about the good? The answers, I argue, attributes certain realistic qualities and tendencies to reasonable people, which therefore constrains how much we can idealize them.
In chapters on the major public reason theorists, I argue that they all offer a diversity argument that does not match the level of idealization that they employ. As a result, they are unable to show that liberal norms are acceptable to reasonable people, appropriately idealized. In the final chapter, I argue that the mismatch in these theories goes even deeper, which we can see when we ask why we must accommodate disagreement at all. The answers that philosophers have given us ? reasonable disagreement is the inevitable result of human reasoning, human psychology, or free conditions ? also apply to irrational disagreement. Irrational influences such as implicit bias and motivated reasoning are also inevitable results of who we are and how we live, which means we must accommodate these realistic tendencies in political justification.
So, if public reason theories must now accommodate disagreement among reasonable-but-sometimes-irrational people, what could be acceptable to all such people? I conclude by suggesting a new direction for public reason theories. People who disagree about the good life, but recognize their common biases, can still justify their views to each other by supporting institutions that mitigate those biases, such as non-discrimination laws and deliberative institutions. This requires a new kind of social contract theory ? one that is grounded in the shared recognition of our limitations, rather than our shared reasons.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation thesis provides a comparison of approaches to the audit - compliance audit, performance audit and financial audit, on example of PPP project. The fact that the border between both parties of PPP project can not be generally defined provides space for the comparison of audit in the public and private sector. The topicality of the theme is given the fiscal problems not only in European countries, where most countries are looking for a way of extending the budget constraint to private sector engagement in the form of PPP projects. Therefore, PPP projects in the world are increasingly popular form of financing. Each includes every new minister of finance includes PPP projects as a possible source of budget. PPP projects, however, represent a huge, long-term investment, that large amounts of money are invested over long time periods. Large fiscal risk would occur in the corrupt environment, with a real threat of government failure, where the supplier has better information through a quasi-monopoly position and large fiscal risks. This risk persists many years and is associated with the provision of large state guarantees in an uncertain economic and societal benefit, taking place to constrain the budget for future generations. PPP project can be agreed only if resources are used efficiently in accordance with societal consensus and the pace of economic growth and public revenue consistently exceeds the real interest rate on public debt. Therefore, PPP projects in the world are increasingly popular form of financing.The fact that this form of financing should be transparent among other things, regularly audited.

Distance learning using telecommunications technologies holds new and challenging promises for library and information science (LIS) education. Pedagogical, technological, cultural/sociopolitical issues and their impact upon the constituents involved--faculty, accrediting bodies, students, employers and educational administration--need to be systematically studied. Findings of a research project that examined one of the human agencies involved in distance learning, full-time faculty at library schools who have taught LIS courses for graduate credit to distance learners using a telecommunications technology, are reported. The primary research questions were exploratory ones that sought answers about the impact of the distance-learning educational model upon faculty. The methodology used was a mix of written survey, telephone, and direct interview techniques. Faculty perceived that their role changed in the distance-learning model from what it was in the traditional classroom-based model. "Teaching is no longer a private act; it is a public performance." Other findings are that more time is required for class preparation; patterns of interaction and communication between students and faculty are different; technical and managerial skills are needed; sociopolitical issues (such as copyright) need to be addressed; and specific knowledge about learning behaviors within this model is needed. Teaching, in this model, is a complex performance that may conflict with the prevailing organizational culture of both the institution and the academic profession. However, the "critical mass" of a library school teaching faculty (conspicuous for its small size) requires several changes if distance learning is to be pursued successfully, and these are discussed briefly. Salient, early historical points about the Board of Education for Librarianship (BEL, American Library Association), American Association of Library Schools (AALS), forerunner to the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE), and the Gaylord Brothers (New York) financed American Correspondence School of Librarianship (ACSL) are included.

Previous issue date: 2012-12-17<br>The partnership between private companies and educational networks municipal
education is a phenomenon that has been occurring in many municipalities in Brazil
since the late 1990s. This thesis is dedicated to study this phenomenon in the
municipalities that encompasses the South Regional Center of the State Department
of Education of Minas Gerais, treated this research as South of Minas Gerais. We
investigated what defines these partnerships. We take as an object the discourse
analysis of companies identified as partners in the area surveyed. We use as device
theoretical and methodological discourse analysis. Chosen as analytical corpus the
discourse of the companies that circulates in the media / web, the home pages of
educational enterprises. We made an analysis of data collected from in the empirical
study and documentary research. The study showed that the phenomenon of
partnership is a growing reality in Southern Minas. A discourse analysis of
educational companies showed a speech advertising, marketing, which works to
persuade through promise of education solutions and conducting a revolution public
education, seducing municipal representatives at imaginary. The discursive
mechanisms used indicate the use of marketing strategies and market interests as
factors that define the phenomenon partnership by firms and by managers who
welcome partnership, a supported uncritical view or interested in the imaginary and
search results of evaluation to improve the position of their schools in ranking done
nationally and internationally<br>A parceria entre empresas educacionais de iniciativa privada e redes municipais de

Educação do Estado de Minas Gerais, tratados nesta pesquisa como Sul de Minas
Gerais . Investigamos o que define essas parcerias. Tomamos como objeto de
análise o discurso das empresas identificadas como parceiras na região pesquisada.
Utilizamos como dispositivo teórico-metodológico a Análise de Discurso. Escolhemos
como corpus analítico o discurso das empresas que circula na mídia/web, nas home
pages das empresas educacionais. Fizemos a análise a partir dos dados levantados
no estudo empírico e na pesquisa documental. O estudo evidenciou que o fenômeno
da parceria é uma realidade em expansão no Sul de Minas. A análise do discurso
das empresas educacionais evidenciou um discurso publicitário, mercadológico, que
funciona de modo a persuadir por meio da promessa de soluções educacionais e
da realização de uma revolução do ensino público , seduzindo os representantes
dos municípios pelo imaginário. Os mecanismos discursivos utilizados apontam o
uso de estratégias de marketing e interesses mercadológicos como fatores que
definem o fenômeno da parceria por parte das empresas e, por parte dos gestores
que acolhem a parceria, uma visão acrítica ou interessada apoiada no imaginário e
na busca de resultados de avaliação que melhorem a posição de suas escolas no
ranqueamento feito nacional e internacionalmente

Full textAbstract:
PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>Empresas não listadas em bolsa de valores exigem uma análise diferenciada em relação às companhias listadas a fim de determinar o valor justo de suas ações. Isso ocorre devido às dificuldades de diversificação e transparência das transações envolvendo empresas de capital fechado, onde apenas poucas transações são executadas ou conhecidas e não há muitos compradores e vendedores. Ademais, o preço final de ativos não listados é arbitrário e as assimetrias de informação dificultam o cálculo do valor justo. Apesar de inúmeros estudos em outros países comprovarem a existência de um desconto no valor em que companhias fechadas são transacionadas vis-à-vis seus pares listados na bolsa de valores, não existem pesquisas focando o mercado brasileiro. Neste sentido, esta dissertação utiliza informações sobre fusões e aquisições do mercado brasileiro no período entre janeiro de 2000 a julho de 2013 com o objetivo de calcular o desconto entre companhias fechadas e abertas.<br>Private companies demand a differentiated analysis towards private enterprises in order to determine the fair price of its shares. This happens because of the diversification and transparency difficulties related to the private companies transactions, where only a few deals are executed or known and there are not many buyers and sellers. Moreover, the final price of a non-listed asset is arbitrary and the information asymmetries raise obstacle to the fair value calculations. Even though many studies in several countries confirm the existence of a discount between the value of a private company versus its stock market listed peers, there are no researches focusing in the Brazilian market. In this regard, this thesis uses the local market merger and acquisitions information occurred in the period between January of 2000 and July of 2013, with the purpose to estimate the discount between private and public companies.
