Using Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy to Foster Critically Reflective Learning About Management and Leadership
2019
This chapter focuses on an Arts-Based Intervention (ABI) into an Introductory course of Management and Leadership offered to students considering key concepts and frames of thinking in the field for the first time. First, we introduce Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy and conceptually frame our ABI in relation to the mode of learning that it allows for together with the drive for equality that it is concerned with. We then introduce the context of the ABI, describe the course and its background and the course facilitators together with information about the participants. Emphasis is placed on the way the course was framed to bring a sense of present-day management reality through our use of art-based …
Dual Information Systems: Supporting Organizational Working and Learning by Making Organizational Memory Transparent
1999
The conceptual design of most computer-based information systems reflects a dualism of technology. During the development phase, part of the work-domain-related knowledge is formalized and encoded in the software, making it difficult for users to reflect on and use this knowledge. This design--use dualism contributes to the deterioration of the interpretive flexibility of information systems. In this article, we outline an information systems architecture called Dual Information Systems (DIS) that incorporates the concepts of an organizational memory information system (OMIS) in a broader framework. DIS help bridge the design--use dualism by providing organizations with a set of services th…
An Information Systems Design Product Theory for Software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems
2009
There is relatively little research on software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems (PEMS). Commercial PEMS vary in functionality and effectiveness. Their intended users thus do not know what to expect from PEMS and how to evaluate them. This paper creates an information system design product theory for the class of PEMS that prescribes the meta-requirements, the meta-design, and applicable theories for all products within the class. Meta-requirements and the meta-design are derived from the project estimation and measurement literature, experiences obtained during more than ten years of empirical work in Finnish Software Measurement Association, and a commercially available PEMS.
eHealth Services and Technology : Challenges for Co-Development
2007
The promises of ICT have been poorly redeemed in health care; many projects have failed. This article conceptualizes the co-construction of services and technologies in order to help future practitioners in the field to understand and find solutions to the challenges in ICT-enhanced service change. The conceptualization is created by structuring the findings of a case study with the help of theoretical concepts. The conceptualization then is implemented in another case to study its potential for finding challenges and suggesting solutions. Both cases demonstrate challenges for codevelopment that contributed to poor project outcomes. Participants in eHealth projects need a better understandi…
Aprendizaje organizativo, innovación y propensión exportadora
2012
En la actualidad, cualquier empresa debe afrontar el cambio tecnológico, la competencia internacional y unos mercados cada vez más exigentes. La innovación de productos y la exportación siempre han sido considerados factores clave de la competitividad de la empresa, pero el actual entorno competitivo les está otorgando un protagonismo fundamental. Este trabajo tiene por objeto esclarecer las conexiones entre la innovación de productos y la exportación y, además, destacar el papel desempeñado por la capacidad de aprendizaje organizativo a la hora de fomentar la creatividad necesaria para desarrollar nuevos productos que resulten atractivos en los mercados locales e internacionales. At presen…
La complejidad del conocimiento: retos para su eficaz creación y transferencia en la organización innovadora
2012
Una eficaz creación y transferencia de conocimiento es esencial para promover el aprendizaje organizativo y la innovación. Con este postulado como idea principal, este artículo explora sendos casos de proyectos de gestión del conocimiento en dos empresas españolas, profundizando en tres características problemáticas del conocimiento: dispersión, ambigüedad y perturbación. Los resultados recomiendan diseñar cuidadosamente el proyecto de gestión de conocimiento teniendo en cuenta: (i) el propósito de la estrategia de gestión de conocimiento, (ii) el equipo coordinador del proyecto y la distribución de responsabilidades, y (iii) los requerimientos y restricciones organizativos, incluyendo proc…
La economía social ¿alternativa a la gestión pública o vanguardia de la privatización de servicios? Una definición del sector de servicios de apoyo a…
2001
A number of social economy organizations with different legal forms have appeared in Spain since the eighties and have developed a growing activity in the provision of personal support services, usually in the private management of public services and occasionally in the private sector. The novelty of this type of organization, the peculiarities of their origin and business development, their uncertain future and the relevance of the experience accumulated in the short but intensive years of their existence - as well as their importance in job creation and in training professionals in social intervention - justify a detailed study of their current situation with regard to resource bases and…
Organizational Learning from Cybersecurity Performance: Effects on Cybersecurity Investment Decisions
2023
AbstractIS literature has identified various economic, performance, and environmental factors affecting cybersecurity investment decisions. However, economic modeling approaches dominate, and research on cybersecurity performance as an antecedent to investments has taken a backseat. Neglecting the role of performance indicators ignores real-world concerns driving actual cybersecurity investment decision-making. We investigate two critical aspects of cybersecurity performance: breach costs and breach identification source, as antecedents to cybersecurity investment decisions. We use organizational learning to theorize how performance feedback from these two aspects of cybersecurity breaches …
Support for Knowledge and Innovations in Software Development – Community within Company: Inner Source Environment
2007
This case study considers a software development support portal adapted from open source developer communities into a company internal, so called inner-source development environment. With theoretical insights into knowledge management (KM) models, recent advancements in KM theory building, and observations of the inner source platform we make observations as regarding the KM approach and suggestions for its further development. Both technological and human components of KM are considered. The results of this study, can be generally applicable to the knowledge creation and innovation support in software development. We believe that many software companies are following the example and build…
Sustainability Perspectives in Organizational and Workplace Learning Studies
2022
The association between sustainability and learning in organizations and workplaces represents a current articulated grand challenge for human resource development (HRD) and learning studies and practice, which calls for integrated inquiries. However, studies of learning in organizations and workplaces deal with sustainability in scattered and diverse ways that promote calls for more integrated understandings of the different approaches and associations. This article outlines the results from a scoping thematic review mapping out leading perspectives within the research fields of HRD, organizational learning (OL) and workplace learning (WPL). This article thus explores the perspectives that…
