Download or read book Institutions and Organizations written by Trish Reay and published by Perspectives on Process Organi. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions - the structures, practices, and meanings that define what people and organizations think, do, and aspire to - are created through process. They are 'work in progress' that involves continual efforts to maintain, modify, or disturb them. Institutional logics are also in motion, holding varying degrees of dominance that change over time. This volume brings together two streams of thought within organization theory - institutional theory and process perspective - to advocate for stronger process ontology that highlights institutions as emergent, generative, political, and social. A stronger process view allows us to challenge our understanding of central concepts within institutional theory, such as 'loose coupling', 'institutional work', the work of institutional logics on the ground, and institutionalization between diffusion and translation. Enriched with an emphasis on practice and widened by taking a broad view of institutions, this volume draws on the Ninth International Symposium on Process Organization Studies to offer key insights that will inform our thinking of institutions as processes.
Download or read book The Bankable SOE written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication describes how state-owned enterprises (SOEs) can access finance on commercial terms, without sovereign guarantees.

The publication confirms the rise of commercial finance for SOEs and details steps to enhance the bankability of SOEs. This includes practical guidance on how to improve governance and increase financial viability. The publication also explains how the risks of such borrowing, including defaults and moral hazards created by implicit guarantees, can be managed.

Download or read book Public Management as Corporate Social Responsibility written by Massimiliano Di Bitetto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of case studies in public management bridges the gap between mainstream CSR - confined to the for-profit corporations -and the vast bodies of workers and organizations that make up government and its public administration. The variety and discretion of managerial endeavours in public management calls for accountability and responsibility of government beyond current legal instruments: The book argues that CSR must be brought to bear with government. In government in fact, knowledge management is not a linear process, but the result of working with passion of the parts, implying discretionary behaviour and creativity which in turn imply choice and responsibility. Cases ranging from the USA to Central America, New Zealand and Europe all confirm the complex nature of public management, entailing partnership synergy for disaster recovery, the intertwined link between management and new technology and mindfulness at individual level. The cases are set in a framework by theoretical essays on bureaucratic behaviour and unknown stakeholders.

Download or read book Organizational Capacity Building in Institutional Effectiveness written by John Andrew Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postsecondary institutions in the U.S. function in a high-accountability environment where quality, efficiency, and effectiveness are common policy and compliance themes. Accreditation has emerged as a vehicle through which the federal government, states, and accrediting agencies can hold institutions accountable. It is also a primary driver of various change initiatives including institutional effectiveness (IE), a measure of how well an institution achieves its mission and goals. Recent attention has been directed at this initiative, and data show that a high proportion of institutions fail to demonstrate compliance in this standard during accreditation reviews. This study explores if and how institutions build organizational capacity for their IE initiatives, what structures and activities are involved, and if these initiatives are sustainable. Research was conducted using qualitative fieldwork at three public research universities that demonstrated compliance in IE following a period of organizational capacity building. The study was informed by conceptual frameworks proposed by NACUBO (2005) and Toma (2010) on organizational capacity building in higher education institutions. It found that institutions built capacity in IE by adding assessment staff, improving assessment processes and procedures, and adopting new technologies. Study participants also expressed concerns for sustaining current initiatives related to the purposes of assessment, employee turnover, faculty commitment, unpredictable funding, and changes to accreditation. Implications for future research and campus leaders are emphasized.
