Institutional entrepreneurs: The driving force in institutionalization of public systems in developing countries
2013
PurposeWhile institutional theory is used widely in the information system (IS) literature to study implementation of systems, the actual process of institutionalization has received less attention. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap in the literature by using three concepts drawn from the theory, namely, institutional isomorphism, institutional logic and institutional entrepreneurship, and the interplay between them to explore the role of the dominant institutional entrepreneur in the institutionalization of a public system, as an instance of e‐government initiatives.Design/methodology/approachIn an interpretive case study, this study examined the institutionalization process…
Institutional logics and social enterprises: Entry mode choices of foreign hospitals in China
2020
When social enterprises, being defined by their social mission and profitability, internationalize, they need to\ud respond to institutional logics in the host country. By juxtaposing institutional logic and entry mode choice\ud literature, this paper shows how social enterprises accommodate different institutional logics when they enter\ud foreign markets. We collected data on Chinese healthcare reform, governmental policies and their changes, and\ud conducted 36 in-depth interviews and three expert group meetings. By analyzing five non-Chinese hospitals\ud entering China, we show how social enterprises, as hybrid organizations, respond to governmental, commercial,\ud and social institutio…

The third mission concept implies that universities are expected to perform several diversified activities besides teaching (first mission) and scientific research (second mission). Third mission efforts may include activities such as knowledge dissemination, technological innovation, social innovation, advisory services, or entrepreneurship. Through third mission activities, universities engage in sustainable, inclusive development and/or territorial competitiveness by interacting with a wide range of subjects far beyond their students and reference scientific communities. The third mission’s activities vary a lot according to the specific characteristics of each university, the territory …
Evoluzione del ruolo del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri e riforme istituzionali
2023
The parliamentary form of government, lacking adequate stabilizing elements, generates inefficiencies and institutional dysfunctions. The changes that it has undergone have determined new balances between powers, which favor the Executive, and, within this, the monocratic role of the President of the Council of Ministers. These changes highlight even more the need to carry out institutional reforms that rationalize the strengthening of the head of government, providing for suitable counterweights, and restructuring the relationship of trust in order to ensure its stability.

L'euro à la lumière des théories monétaires holistes contemporaines
2008
The thesis begins by explaining, in a first part, the genealogy of a heterodox tradition called “holist monetary approach”, which refuses dichotomic theories and the classical conception of the veil of money. It shows the proximities of these positions with a tradition consisting in thinking money as a “total social fact” involving far more than the three usual economic functions attributed to money. Recent research works conducted in France around Aglietta and Orléan fit in with this tradition. The thesis also leans on theories developed in Keynes' wake, sharing with the “social fact” approaches a holist methodology. The latter involves a main focus on macroeconomic analysis, which is, in …
Aktiivinen ja hyvinvoiva korkeakoulu -kyselyn tuloksia keväältä 2022
2022
Liikkuva opiskelu -ohjelman myötä myös korkeakouluopiskelijoiden opiskelupäivän aikaiseen liikkumiseen ja paikallaanoloon on alettu kiinnittämään enemmän huomiota. Opiskelupäivien ja oppituntien aktivointi nähdään tarpeellisena, sillä vain puolet opiskelijoista liikkuu liikkumissuosituksiin nähden tarpeeksi. Myös istumista kertyy korkeakouluopiskelijoille lähes 11 tuntia päivittäin, ja iso osa tästä määrästä kertyy nimenomaan opiskelupäivän aikana. Istumisen vähentäminen ja opiskelupäivien aktivoiminen on perusteltua terveydellisistä syistä, mutta tauottamalla istumista tai aktivoimalla opetusta voidaan vaikuttaa myönteisesti myös opiskelijoiden jaksamiseen sekä opiskelukykyyn. Näihin teemo…
Opiskelijavalinnat uudistuvat : vaihtoehtoisia valintatapoja todistusvalinnan rinnalle
2019
Ylioppilastutkintoon perustuvasta todistusvalinnasta tulee pääasiallinen valintatapa yliopistojen tutkintokoulutukseen. Sen ohelle tarvitaan vaihtoehtoisia tapoja, sillä ylioppilastodistus ei takaa kaikille opiskelupaikkaa. Avoimen yliopiston reitit antavat hakijalle mahdollisuuden pyrkiä yliopistoon aiemmin suoritettujen yliopisto-opintojen perusteella. nonPeerReviewed
