FIFAn valtapeli : Etelä-Afrikan jalkapallon MM-kisat 2010 keskitettynä mediaspektaakkelina
2014
Nykyisiä miesten jalkapallon MM-kisoja voi kutsua keskitetyiksi mediaspektaakkeleiksi. Ne ovat myös merkittäviä vallankäytön areenoita. Kansainvälinen jalkapalloliitto, kisaisäntä ja televisio muodostavat jalkapallon MM-kisojen tuotanto- ja valtakoneiston. Miten valta toimii jalkapallon MM-kisoissa? Millaisia strategioita valtakoneistolla on rakenteiden uusintamiseksi ja omien etujensa ja intressiensä edistämiseksi? Mitä valta tekee näkyväksi ja mitä se jättää näkymättömäksi? FIFAn valtapeli on Suomen ensimmäinen väitöskirjatason tutkimus jalkapallon MM-kisoista. Se tarkastelee vuoden 2010 Etelä-Afrikan kisoja tuotantokoneiston näkökulmasta kriittisesti, monitieteellisesti ja erilaisia aine…
Using Spiritual Intelligence to Transform Organisational Cultures
2017
Recently spirituality has become a viable topic of discussion for management scholars seeking a means to enhance work cultures and improve organisational effectiveness. However, the path from spirituality to transforming organisational culture is not immediately obvious. Fortunately,several authors have developed frameworks that provide connections. In particular, the notion of spiritual intelligence (SIhereafter) is helpful. This paper begins by describing spirituality and SI in the context of organisational transformation. It then details research involving working professionals that sought to answer the question: “How (and why) might SI transform organisational culture to be more ethical…
Sport organizations and crime: indissoluble binomial? A sociological and economic analysis for possible solutions
2011
The fundamental principles which should guide the activities of football teams are contaminated by criminal phenomena that produce, as the main effect, the loss of confidence from the fans. The reasons of the crisis of credibility in the sports organizations are both economic and social. This seems paradoxical in light of the circumstances under which: under the social profile has demonstrated a negative correlation between sport and widespread crime; under economic profile, the soccer is the one sport that is characterized by consistent and staggering increases in turnover. Modern society facilitates the scenario described above, because it is fragmented and characterized by dynamic proces…
Concilier finance et management. Un problème d'architecture organisationnelle
2009
This article has two objectives. On the one hand, it aims to explain the disturbances brought by finance to management as a problem of inconsistency or organizational architecture. On the other hand, it suggests some ways of reconciliation between finance and the other management functions. This reconciliation could be based on an evolution of the financial theory in order to be closer to the other management sciences, end on a subordination of financial performance objectives and indicators in the management of the firm
Past, present, and future of green product innovation
2021
Firms are under constant pressure from various governmental and nongovernmental agencies to switch from conventional environmentally polluting products to green product innovations (GPIs). However, the relevant research pertaining to GPI has been published in a diverse set of journals that vary in their scope and readership and, therefore, the scholarly contribution to the topic remains largely fragmented. This study has utilised a systematic literature review approach to examine the literary corpus on GPI to paint a holistic picture of its different aspects. The content and thematic analysis of 85 studies resulted in the extraction of seven key research themes: organisational capabilities,…
Partnership of schools and civil society organisations to support education of students of varied linguistic backgrounds—The situation in the Czech R…
2022
This article reports on research examining the intensity and forms of partnership between civil society organisations (particularly non-profit non-governmental organisations with a focus on students with a different mother tongue) and schools in three European geographical areas, answering three research questions: (1) What services do non-profits offer for teachers? (2) How do non-profits see the current cooperation? (3) Do teachers know about the existence of non-profits in this area and are they interested in such cooperation? A mixed methods research approach was used. A questionnaire was used for eliciting responses from 34 non-profit organisations (nine in Czech Republic, nineteen in …
Does sector matter? Plural characteristics and logics in third sector festival organisations
2019
The starting point for the research has been the idea that society is divided into three relatively distinct areas of activity, i.e. separate sectors: the public sector, the market sector and the third sector. According to this understanding, each of these sectors has specific characteristics and core logics guiding its activities. Over recent decades, however, the boundaries between the sectors have been becoming blurred. This leads to different hybrid organisations, which combine the practices and principles of various sectors. This research aims to increase the understanding of hybrid organisations, their characteristics and the mechanisms behind hybridisation. Drawing from the ideal sec…
Le livre audio en bibliothèque de lecture publique : dispositifs de médiation et formes de prescription d’un support « mineur »
2019
International audience; À partir d’une enquête sur les discours et pratiques liés au livre audio du côté d’usagers et de bibliothécaires menée à l’occasion d’un projet de recherche-action dans trois bibliothèques de lecture publique françaises, nous essayons dans cet article de faire avancer la réflexion autour de la notion de prescription, historiquement ancrée dans la figure du bibliothécaire, et de travailler en particulier les écarts entre la prescription d’un format qui reste un impensé de la profession et la médiation d’une expérience d’écoute de la littérature. Cet écart a des conséquences sur la manière dont les « audio lecteurs » parviennent à dire et à partager leurs pratiques. No…
La organización del trabajo por proyectos: La fábrica de la precariedad laboral
2019
The project-based organization, considered as a radical reorganization of work around one or more simultaneous projects, is nowadays widespread in large companies and public administrations. According to the managerial way of thinking, this system would be virtuous: by giving more autonomy to the employees in the act of production and by developing their skills through mobility and interdisciplinarity of work teams, it would be able to arouse their full commitment. This study confirms in some way how this opinion has been imposed, but at the expense of precarious working conditions, increasing the dedication of employees and silencing any form of criticism. The research is based on a review…
