Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La démocratisation de l'informatique, puis des usages de l'internet, de la téléphonie mobile, ou plus récemment d'autres objets communicants génèrent une profusion de traces numériques gardant en mémoire les actions des usagers. Approuvé par certains qui y voient l'opportunité d'améliorer la sécurité publique, la relation marchande ou encore leur propre confort quotidien, ce constat fait craindre à d'autres l'avènement d'une société de la surveillance érodant le respect de la vie privée. Cet ouvrage étudie la notion d'espace privé à l'ère du numérique. Il montre comment les changements technologiques, de services et d'usages redéfinissent l'acceptation traditionnelle de la vie privée fondée sur des normes, et comment, en complément du dispositif normatif existant, des modalités de régulation appropriables par les individus sont envisagées.

Download or read book The Socio Economic Approach to Management Revisited written by Anthony F. Buono and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is part of the ongoing collaboration between the RMC series and the Socio-Economic Institute for Firms and Organizations (ISEOR), a French intervention-research think tank co-directed by Henri Savall and Véronique Zardet. Building on an earlier collaboration on the ISEOR approach – Socio-Economic Intervention in Organizations: The Intervener-Researcher and the SEAM Approach to Organizational Analysis (IAP, 2007) – Buono and Savall bring together over 30 talented intervener-researchers to explore and examine the ongoing evolution of the Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM). This volume revisits the application of SEAM in the context of intervention challenges in the wake of the recent economic crisis and the disruptive change that has taken hold across the world. The basic foundation of SEAM – built on the idea of strategic patience, the need to undertake holistic intervention in organizations, and the challenge to get organizational members to listen to themselves (through what they refer to as the mirror effect) – has remained the same. In response to economic and organizational pressures in the current environment, however, there has been a concomitant emphasis on helping client organizations achieve short-term results while still maintaining focus on the long term. Many ideas that have become part of the current discourse within ISEOR today were not as explicitly addressed in the initial volume – from the destructive effect of the Taylorism-Fayolism-Weberism (TFW) virus, to the need to focus on ways to ensure the sustainability of a SEAM intervention, the growing importance of collaborative interactions between external and internal consultants, and the growing importance of cocreating knowledge with client firms and organizations.
Download or read book Management Control and Creativity written by Sophie Bollinger and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is an essential growth lever for organizations. Like any strategic element, it must be managed to ensure the right decision is made at the right time. When we talk about management, we naturally also consider management control. However, using management tools can be a danger to developing creativity – an essential element of innovation. This book examines the interdependencies between management control and creativity. By comparing two organizational contexts, we highlight the vital role of organizations as generators of creativity. We also underline the acceptance of an imbalance between the elements in tension, which can lead to the questioning and fostering of innovation; and the role of senior management as mediators between organizations and local actors.
Download or read book Le secteur des industries extractives written by Håvard Halland and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le secteur des industries extractives (IE) occupe une place démesurée dans les économies de nombreux pays en développement. Les économistes et les spécialistes des finances publiques qui y travaillent sont fréquemment confrontés à des problèmes qui requièrent une connaissance approfondie du secteur, de son économie, de sa gouvernance, de ses enjeux stratégiques, et une idée précise de ce que la richesse en ressources naturelles suppose en termes de gestion du budget et des finances publiques. L’ouvrage en trois volumes Points essentiels à l’intention des économistes et des spécialistes des finances publiques, publié dans la série des Études de la Banque mondiale, a pour objet de donner un bref aperçu des problèmes associés aux IE que ces spécialistes sont susceptibles de rencontrer. Ce premier volume, Le secteur des industries extractives, dresse une synthèse des aspects fondamentaux de l’économie des IE, analyse les principales composantes des cadres stratégiques, institutionnels et de gouvernance du secteur, et définit les obligations de financement du secteur public dans ce domaine. Son analyse des aspects économiques des IE couvre l’évaluation des gisements de sous-sol, l’interprétation économique donnée au minerai, et la structure des marchés de l’énergie et des produits minéraux. Il définit les responsabilités des entités publiques compétentes, et présente les caractéristiques des cadres juridique et réglementaire du secteur. Il analyse brièvement ses fonctions essentielles et particulières, ainsi que les structures financières qui soutiennent les mesures de sauvegarde environnementale et sociale, l’investissement des recettes publiques provenant de l’exploitation des ressources pétrolières, gazières ou minières, et la diversification économique à partir des industries extractives. Les auteurs espèrent que les économistes et les spécialistes des finances publiques qui travaillent dans les pays riches en ressources naturelles †“ y compris les décideurs au sein des ministères des finances, des organisations internationales, et autres entités compétentes — jugeront cet ouvrage utile à leur compréhension et à leur analyse du secteur des IE.
Download or read book Moving Beyond the Crisis Reclaiming and Reaffirming our Common Administrative Space written by Demetrios Argyriades and published by Primento. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the financial meltdown and the economic crisis in their fifth year already no one can any longer be in doubt about their exceptional gravity, their truly global impact and their profound effects hurting vulnerable groups and the very poor especially. As the world looks for an exit from this economic crisis – the worst in eight decades – the focus of attention is naturally on the causes, the factors that account for its wide reach and severity, as well as on strategies that might bring it to a closure. The quest for exit strategies is at the very centre of the issues and concerns explored in the present volume, produced by the IIAS. Like the preceding volumes, but even more emphatically, this volume, representing a collective endeavour of scholars and practitioners from many parts of the globe, finds cause to lay the blame, for our difficult predicament, on the institutional deficit, the policies, the practices and values that have followed in the trail of a highly misleading and erroneous model of governance. The «Market Model of Governance» as it is known, sought to reform, the structures and culture of administration and government in private sector ways. While instrumental values like efficiency and effectiveness were raised and praised profusely, those of democratic governance were discounted by comparison. In particular, integrity, the rule of law and due process, equity, legality and public service professionalism suffered a steep decline, in several parts of the world. Likewise, the invasion and the capture of public space, inevitably led to an unprecedented surge of greed, abuse and corruption that contributed directly to the crisis which is upon us. Looking for exit strategies, as its title aptly suggests, the present volume offers a rich menu of ideas drawn from the current experience of all the world ́s main regions. Not surprisingly, two concepts stand out throughout the book as necessary correctives, as well as pressing remedies to the world ́s ongoing malaise. They call for the recapture of our common administrative space and the reaffirmation of the values and virtues appropriate for democratic governance. To the IIAS, none perhaps are more important than public service professionalism and none other can contribute more effectively to the reform and consolidation of sound institutions for national, sub national, global and regional governance. For these reasons, at this juncture, the new volume like the others should be featured in every public library and become a vademecum of all scholars and practitioners of public administration and politics around the world.
Download or read book Contracts Performance Measurements and Accountability in the Public Sector written by Gavin Drewry and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses issues to do with public accountability, audit and performance measurement that are both highly topical and of crucial importance to the theory and practice of public administration in an era of contractualized public management. The literature on public sector contracting - covering both 'hard' agreements (ones that are legally enforceable) and 'soft' agreements (enforced by negotiation and mutual trust) - has been growing for some time and the present book adds a primarily European perspective on contracting, performance-based management and accountability. One important aspect of this study is its recognition that those responsible for monitoring public services, and holding them to account, have had - to an increasing extent - to reconcile tensions between, on the one hand, the need for strong oversight and, on the other, the encouragement of innovation and risk in an increasingly competitive and entrepreneurial public service culture. Following an introductory overview by the three editors the book is in three parts.The first part deals with the theory and practice of performance measurement and evaluation; the second part provides a series of specific case studies of audit and accountability in a variety of countries and contexts; the third part offers some wider, cross-cutting perspectives. Based on the work of the EGPA permanent study group on the history of contractualization, Contracts, Performance Measurement and Accountability in the Public Sector draws upon the wide expertise and research interests of academics and practitioners from the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden and the USA.
