Un balance de la modernización autonómica y las relaciones intergubernamentales

2015

International audience; This article contains an overview of the modernization of the regional administrations since its inception until present. We distinguish roughly four modernizing cycles: the first is mainly identified with the search for legitimacy and survival of the regional administrations. The second is inspired by the New Public Management (NPM) and the emergence of a post-burocratic paradigm that enables the development of new methodologies. The third is characterized by the primacy of e-administration and quality policies applied to public services. Finally, the last cycle poses antagonistic tendencies, according to the outbreak of the current economic crisis.; En este artícul…

International executives : transformative bureaucracies or Westphalian orders?

2004

Public Administration is in an era of change. This paper studies one under-researched part of public administration, the executive arms of International Governmental Organizations (IGOs). These are referred to as International Executives (IEs) and provide a conceptual mapping and empirical illustrations of three important dynamics of IEs – intergovernmental, supranational and transgovernmental dynamics. The paper offers a middle-range organization theory perspective that suggests five independent variables that affect the behavior and roles of IE civil servants. The variables are (i) the organizational properties of IEs, (ii) the degrees of institutionalization of IEs, (iii) the recruitment…

Re-discovering international executive institutions

2004

Public Administration is in an era of change. This article aims at re-discovering one underresearched part of public administration, the executive arms of International Governmental Organizations (IGOs). These are referred to as International Executives (IEs). The article provides a conceptual mapping and an empirical illustration of three important dynamics of IEs – intergovernmental, supranational and transgovernmental dynamics. The study also offers a middle-range organization theory perspective that suggests five independent variables that foster the advent of supranational and transgovernmental behavior and roles among IE civil servants. The variables suggested are (H1) the organizatio…

Syslog-protokollan viestien analysointi järjestelmän vianetsinnän apuna

2017

Tietojärjestelmät keräävät toiminnastaan jatkuvasti lokitietoja. Vikatilanteissa lokitietoja voidaan hyödyntää virheen paikantamisen apuna. Lokinkirjoittamisen teollisuusstandardiksi on noussut Syslog-protokolla. Tarve protokollaa varten kehitetyille lokianalyysitekniikoille ja -työkaluille on näin ollen noussut. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa pyritään esittelemään näitä analyysitekniikoita ja -työkaluja, ja pohtimaan näiden hyödyllisyyttä järjestelmän vianetsintää suorittavan järjestelmänvalvojan näkökulmasta. Information systems constantly gather operational log data. In case of system failure, this log data can be used as a troubleshooting tool in locating the problem source. The Syslog p…

Performance Management in Local Government: The Application of System Dynamics to Promote Data Use

2014

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how system dynamics can be used to enrich performance management in local government, focusing specifically on how the development of conceptual and simulation system dynamic models can foster a shared view of the relevant system among stakeholders to overcome factors that limit data use. Responding to this purpose, we present a normative case study on how key drivers can be used to foster a shared view of the residential refuse collection system for supporting policy and process changes. A major finding from our research, however, is that performance management cannot overlook the broader forces of citizenship outcomes that impact the community.

A dynamic performance management approach to support local strategic planning

2015

In spite of efforts devoted in the last decades to local strategic planning, such field of research and practice has been frequently characterized by a lack of implementation. We argue here that this phenomenon is due to the limitations of the static and linear approach to local strategic planning in fostering the development of common shared view among policy makers on the relevant system's structure and behavior. By means of a case-study, we illustrate how an approach based on system dynamics modeling applied to Performance Management can be useful to overcome such weaknesses. The proposed approach enhances a better understanding of the causes and effects related to adopted policies, unde…

Lack of Good Governance or hazard of consumers e-Health? Evidence through a dynamic outcome based-performance in the Italian healthcare sector about …

This research aims to analyse the management of the health policies to contain the measles outbreaks in Italy. In particular, this study wants to find out what are the key factors that led to the measles outbreak of 2017 and its previous cyclical trend, analysing the impact of ehealth strategy in the management of the epidemics. Understanding the complexity of this issue will help to evaluate the actual policies of the Italian Ministry of Healthcare and to steer the policy-makers to frame sustainable policies to manage the risk of a measles outbreak. The thesis is structured in four chapters. The first chapter, through a literature review, discusses the evolution of the management of epidem…
