Proposing an Entrepreneurial Process for the Co-creation of IT Value
2014
Published version of a chapter from the book M. Janssen, H. Scholl, M. Wimmer & F. Bannister (Eds.), Electronic Government : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014. Also available on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-44426-9_26 Co-creation of IT value has received substantial focus from the IS research community over the past years. However, few if any have studied this phenomenon from a process perspective, and our understanding of the processes leading to successful co-creation is therefore limited. To address this shortcoming, we studied a complex, e-government case involving 38 government agencies intending to co-create value from a common IT platform. We used a mixed method a…
Government Architecture: Concepts, Use and Impact
2013
Part 3: Service Design and Improvement; International audience; Government architecture (GA) is a relatively young discipline in which concepts are slowly emerging. Often terms and concepts are used in various ways and there is no uniform agreement on these concepts. Further, the relationship between GA, benefits and public value creation is unclear. In this paper we unravel and define GA concepts that are often used by governments. Although GA is used in different ways there are common concepts. GA practice in two different countries, the Netherlands and Norway, indicates that although the Netherlands clearly has more experience with GA than Norway, both countries employ similar concepts. …
Assessing Effects of eGovernment Initiatives Based on a Public Value Framework
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Electronic Government. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_21 Assessing effects of eGovernment initiatives is considered an important but challenging endeavor. Assessments are, among other things, important to justify e-government investments. They are challenging because they are complex, often based on locally defined indicators, many times over-emphasizing financial effects, imprecise, faced with a number of contingencies and very seldom validated. Consequently, effect assessments can be seen as imprecise and difficult to compare across different initiatives. This paper addresses some of the challen…
Simulation models in eGovernment using system dynamics: A literature survey
2016
System Dynamics (SD) is a method to build simulation models using computers, to study the behaviour of systems, and apply what-if scenarios aiming at achieving optimal policy design. To have an overview of the current state-of-the-art of SD use in the eGovernment field; we have surveyed related literature. Our main goal is to uncover the possibilities for future research by clarifying the shortages. The identified literature is not very large. In most of the literature, SD models use was limited to SD practitioners. We discovered low usage of Group Model Building and workshops despite their usefulness in involving non-SD practitioners in the model building process. Additionally, there is a …

The paper gives a conditional understanding about the importance of environmental-based learning to establish ecological intelligence. Environmental-based anguage learning is an effort to increase knowledge and understanding aiming at giving critical understanding to the community learners in order to build ecological intelligence for human sake.Environmental preservation effort through the texts in language learning representatively gives a picture of how rich human knowledge about the nature is. Thus, it is worth that through formal and non-formal education which are the basis for intellectual community, environmental-based learning is integrated in language learning. This is reasonable s…
Themes of Research on eGovernment in Developing Countries: Current Map and Future Roadmap
2013
This paper reports a literature review of eGovernment research in developing countries published between 2005 and 2010. From a review of 108 papers, the present study found that the papers could be mapped into five main research themes: design/implementation, adoption, impact, evaluation, and context. For each main theme, several sub-themes were identified. The research approaches used to investigate each theme were described. In addition to presenting the current landscape of eGovernment research, this paper also provides future research directions related to the empirical, theoretical, and methodological domains.
Identifying objectives for a learning space management system with value-focused thinking
2017
A classroom with a blackboard and some rows of desks is obsolete in special education. Depending on the needs, some students may need more tactile and inspiring surroundings with various pedagogical accessories while others benefit from a simplified environment without unnecessary stimuli. This understanding is applied to a new Finnish special education school building with open and adaptable learning spaces. We have joined the initiative creation process by developing software support for these new spaces in the form of a learning space management system. Participatory design and value-focused thinking were implemented to elicit the actual values of all the stakeholders involved and transf…
Transferable and Negotiated Knowledge
2002
• Summary: This article explores the knowledge of community-based social workers in the context of an action research project aimed at exploring the practitioners’ own descriptions of their knowledge and expertise on the theme of spatial marginalization. • Findings: The knowledge of social workers seemed to be based on service users’ experiences and case examples, on value and moral constructions, and it was created from experience, by doing and in action. It was local and contextual, in some sense silent but shared through a discussion process. It was not based on empirically based scientific research understood in the traditional sense; rather, social workers resorted to practical knowle…
The B3 Maturity Model, SCIROCCO Tool and SCIROCCO Knowledge Management Hub: facilitating the capacity-building support for integrated care
2021
Introduction SCIROCCO Exchange is an EU Health Programme project that builds upon the preliminary achievements of the B3 Action Group on Integrated Care of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) that first developed the concept of an Integrated Care Maturity Model. Through the activities of the SCIROCCO project, the Model has been further refined and is supported by a validated self-assessment tool (SCIROCCO Tool). SCIROCCO is an online participatory tool that helps stakeholders to understand: 1) The context requirements of a particular good practice; 2) The level of maturity required for a care system to adopt and scale-up integrated care; 3) The acti…
Mutual learning: exploring collaboration, knowledge and roles in the development of recovery-oriented services. A hermeneutic-phenomenological study
2021
ABSTRACT Purpose The concept of recovery is commonly described as multifaceted and contested in the field of mental health and substance abuse. The aim of this study is to explore how understandings of recovery and recovery orientation of services are developed through daily practices and collaboration between service users and professionals. Methods Eight pairs of participants were interviewed together, in accordance with the dyadic interview method. The dyads/pairs consisted of service users and professional helpers. A collaborative hermeneutic-phenomenological analysis was used to analyse data. Results Data were analysed into three overarching and entangled themes, exploring how recovery…
