▼ The objectives of this research were to determine the relationship between ISO 9001:2008 standard certification status and operational performance of government agencies in Kenya, the extent the levels of adoption of the implementation factors influence that relationship, and to develop a theoretical framework to explain the relationships involved. An outcome thinking view was applied in examining the behavioral input factors prescribed by the ISO 9001 quality management system standard. Each of the factors was evaluated on the extent of alignment to the fundamental principles of quality management that underpin the management system standard. Various statistical analyses were conducted on the secondary and primary data obtained from 47 government of Kenya owned organizations selected randomly. Quantitative data was obtained from 6 to 14 informants from each organization using a self-administered questionnaire. A cluster analysis was completed to develop a taxonomy of the participating organizations based on the standard’s implementation factors and organizational system outcome variables, finally regression analysis was completed to develop a theoretical framework of the concepts in involved. The results of the study demonstrate that the ISO 9001 management system standard’s prescribed practices of quality policy and management review are the key enablers of performance both in the internal and external focus. The study finds that performance drivers in an organization are the ISO 9001 management system standard prescribed practice of quality objectives and the organizational system outcomes of customer focus and process approach. According to the results, it is through these performance drivers that the enablers of performance help achieve performance objectives. The main contribution of this study has been to develop a theoretical framework to explain the inconsistencies in findings of certification/performance relationship studies and some paradoxes relating to ISO 9001 management system adoption. The theoretical framework helps characterize organizations and show how alignment of the adoption to the organizations’ strategic objectives enables organizations to achieve their goals using the management system framework. The conclusion drawn from the study is that the framework provided by the ISO 9001 management system standard can help optimize operational performance when the prescribed practices are applied appropriately. Another conclusion is that observed cases of certification leading to reduction of performance are due to the effects of minimalist adoption approach with focus on iconic objectives. As opposed to many studies that are based on problem/solution thinking approach, this study sheds light on why some organizations are reported to perform poorly after certification by adopting the outcome thinking approach to understanding how the framework is able to enhance performance. This approach has lead to a more comprehensive examination of the quality management standard adoption and what makes some…

▼ In this thesis, we study if credit rating agencies (CRAs) are capable, through their rating process, of discover information that it is valued by the market. Additionally, we investigate if CRAs are able to propagate their findings to the market. if Specifically, we study the differences between issuer-paid and investor-paid credit rating agencies, and how those differences shape the characteristics of their credit ratings and ultimately, if investors can profit from credit rating announcements.For our research we use a large dataset of rating announcements from 1997 to 2012, which includes information of four credit rating agencies (CRAs), Egan-Jones Ratings Company (EJR), Fitch, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s, which representing investor-paid and issuer-paid CRAs. This allows us to compare these two kind of agencies and its ratings.In the first essay we study what variables explain the rating coverage of an investor-paid credit rating agency. We show that probability of being covered by EJR is positively related with the size of the firm, the level of institutional ownership of the firm, stock analysts and issuer-paid CRAs level of coverage, while it is negatively related to the firm’s corporate governance. We found that the likelihood of being covered by EJR augments after regulatory changes and most interestingly, since EJR received the NRSRO certification.In the second essay we compare the timeliness of rating changes produced by EJR and the issuer-paid CRAs representatives. We found that the lead effect of investor-paid over issuer-paid CRAs has weakened in recent years, while Granger causality is bidirectional and therefore a lead-lag relationship cannot be established. Finally, stock prices manifest statistically significant abnormal reactions to downgrades of all agencies; however, abnormal negative returns are significantly higher for EJR. Our results support the hypothesis that issuer-paid agencies improve the quality and timeliness of their ratings when they see their market power threatened by tighter regulations. Nevertheless, event studies illustrate that markets still price stocks under the assumption that investor-paid rating actions carry superior information.Finally, our third essay found that purchasing (selling short) stocks with positive (negative) rating announcements generates portfolios with positive annual abnormal returns when investors react immediately to rating announcements. Returns are higher for stronger announcements (i.e. rating changes over rating outlooks) and for an investor-paid agency rather than an issuer-paid agency. When we introduced transaction costs, only the investor-paid agencies’ announcements lead to positive abnormal returns. Additionally, when we included a delay in the reaction of investors to rating announcements, all positive abnormal returns net of transaction costs disappeared. Finally, our results suggests that the differences between investor-paid and issuer-paid agencies are based on their dissimilar business models rather than their regulatory status.

Društvene nauke - upravno pravo / Social sciences - administrative law

Научно-страживачки циљ(еви). Појава и ширење јавних агенција попримило је глобалне размере. Државна управа на агенције преноси бројна управна и регулаторна овлашћења. Широка овлашћења јавних агенција изазвала су фрагментацију управног система и довела у питање традиционално схватање принципа поделе власти. Савремена управна и уставна теорија и пракса суочава се са потребом да организационо и функционално идентификује јавне агенције и да их правно и полититички дефинише. Ово истраживање има за цињ да укаже на потребу прецизирања правног и полтитичког положаја јавних агенција, не само ради олакшавања правне и политичке контроле над њима, већ и ради стварања услова за спречавања политизације агенција. Теза је ове дисертације да је одсуство правне контроле над јавним агенцијама последица нејасног уставноправног и управноправног положаја „агенцијске власти“. Овај феномен пристутан је и у Србији, посебно ако се имају у виду разлике у правном положају јавних агенција и независних регулаторних тела. Проблеми агенцификације изазавали су данас супротан институционални тренд – деагенцификацију. Суочени са глобалном кризом и растућим захтевом грађана за интеграцијом у пружању јавних услуга, многе земље прибегавају организационом и функционалном реструктурирању јавних агенција. Метод(и) истраживања. Теоријско испитивање положаја јавних агенција у систему поделе власти захтева широки методолошки приступ. У истраживању проблематике односа јавних агенција и поделе власти, првенствено је примењен правни метод, који је примењен ради анализе националног агенцијског законодавства, посебно са нормативног аспекта уставног и законског положаја агенција у систему поделе власти. Правним методом обрађена су питања положај и овлашћења јавних агенција, као и механизми њихове контроле у контексту система поделе власти.

▼ This dissertation consists of three chapters that study issues in Corporate Finance and Industrial Organization related to the behavior of markets with asymmetric information. The first two chapters study the economics of credit rating agencies; the third chapter examines a process of social learning about product quality. Chapter 1 models the effect of rating agency competition on the quality of rated securities. I compare equilibria across a regime of competition between two rating agencies and a monopolistic regime. In both regimes, all available agencies are hired in equilibrium, so under competition more ratings are observed. However, competing agencies do not fully internalize the return of a reputation for being honest. Whenever strategic agencies are not very concerned about their reputation, competition can induce more issuer effort than monopoly. Otherwise, a monopolistic agency induces more effort. Chapter 2 analyzes the effect of the Cuomo Plan, a much-discussed regulation that prohibits issuers of residential mortgage-backed securities from making payments to rating agencies contingent on the assigned ratings. I construct a certification model which consists of the following features: (i) an issuer privately informed about her security's quality can hire a rating agency to assign a rating; (ii) the agency can observe, at a cost, a private signal correlated with the quality of the security; (iii) an undeserved favorable rating reduces the agency's future revenues. I show that the Plan has an effect on the informative content of the rating only if the agency's signal is not too costly. In this case, the Plan ensures that the rating is more informative; otherwise the Plan has no effect. In chapter 3, I study the pricing strategy of a monopolistic firm in a market characterized by consumers with heterogeneous preferences and private information about the product quality. Consumers purchase sequentially and observe the history of purchasing decisions, prices, and consumers' preferences. I characterize the conditions under which the monopolist gains when consumers learn the true quality, and, which pricing strategy ensures that learning takes place.

▼ ABSTRACT Diverse police agencies that are reflective of communities they serve are vital to community-oriented and problem-oriented policing, and in repairing fractured relationships by establishing trust and a partnership with communities. Agencies that engage in community-oriented and problem-oriented policing also attract more female officers and officers of color. The purpose of this study is to describe how one police agency in the Midwest recruits, hires, and retains a representative agency, and to describe what factors are important in this process. It is a descriptive, single case study that uses triangulation of multiple methods, including quantitative and qualitative methods, and multiple data sources. The quantitative methods include composition data from 2009 through 2017, application data from 2009 through 2016, and separation data from 2010 through mid-2017. The one qualitative method, interviews of personnel responsible for the implementation and oversight of recruiting, hiring, and retention, provide detailed descriptions from the perspectives of those involved in these practices. It is evident from the data that representation of females, officers of color, and officers who are fluent in languages other than English, has increased in numbers and percentages for both applications and officers hired. Factors responsible for these increases include the Human Resources Office and command staff prioritizing being reflecting of and responsive to the communities it serves, targeting recruitment efforts, setting goals for hiring and composition of female officers and officers of color, and implementing changes in their application process. This study has implications for this agency, the communities it serves, and other agencies. This agency may use the results of this study to assess the future impact of its recruiting, hiring, and retention practices. This agency may also evaluate the future impact of increasing its diversity on the job performance of officers. Other police agencies who want to be reflective of their communities and engage in community-oriented and problem-oriented policing, can use this case study as an example. Also discussed are the limitations of the study and recommendations for future research. Advisors/Committee Members: Michael Meyer.

▼ Information Communication Technology (ICT) is fast developing and its impact on socio-economic activities cannot be overlooked. It is a fact that the use of ICT has been integrated into virtually every facet of commerce, education, governance and civic activity in developed countries and has become a critical factor in creating wealth worldwide. Despite this, there has been only limited research to investigate the role of institutions such as UNESCO in ICT education in Ghana. This study examined the contribution of UNESCO to ICT education in Ghana. From the responses, some of the major programs of UNESCO are teacher education, E-learning platforms, open educational resources, and lifelong learning opportunities. Respondents indicated that these programmes have positively influenced ICT and education in general through teaching and learning. The study revealed that the ASPNet ICT centre has been very beneficial to major stakeholders such as students/pupils, teachers, and even adults. ASPnet has offered people the needed skills and also stressed on the need for greater emphasis to be put on ICT and Science and Technology as well as train teachers to effectively use the computer. The study also presented the major challenges that militates against the effective implementation of UNESCO’s programmes in Ghana. Some of these challenges are policy and planning, inadequate infrastructure, capacity building, and a lack of government budget support. It concludes that the effective utilisation of computers in schools would help to introduce the desired changes in teaching and learning method. District Assemblies like the Accra Metropolitan Assembly should prioritize the provision of materials and infrastructure expansion for schools in their jurisdictions. They should factor them into their medium term development plans. The central government should increase its budgetary allocation for ICT related programmes in order to give enough facilities to schools, motivation to teachers and attract competent personnel into the teaching profession.

▼ Almost 250 years ago, ‘gang-masters’ – those who mediated between rural employers and roving bands of migrant workers - were vividly brought to life within the pages of Marx’s Capital. By contrast the modern-day phenomenon of how paid-for labour market intermediaries – temporary staffing agencies and their rural ‘gangmaster’ counterparts – construct transnational workforces remains remarkably undocumented, let alone theorised. Similarly, although a burgeoning literature sheds light on the increasing privatisation of international migration flows, the precise role of profit-seeking ‘recruiters’ within a broader migration industry remains underexposed. This thesis explores how - and why - agencies recruited migrant workers from his or her home countries and placed them in temporary employment in the UK. In response to the apparent growing significance of temporary staffing agencies in facilitating migration into the UK from the EU8 countries of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as from beyond the EU, the research was funded by an ESRC CASE studentship. Evidence was gathered from qualitative interviews conducted with representatives of agencies in the UK, in Poland, the Philippines, and Australia, as well as with a range of respondents from government departments, labour organisations, regulatory bodies, and journalists in all four countries. The multi-scale fieldwork sites were selected in order to offer a comparative analysis of variable institutional and regulatory settings. Within the following pages I argue that agencies in both the origin countries, as well as in the UK, made markets in the recruitment and supply of temporary migrant workers; selling migration to recruits, and migrant workers to client employers in the process. Activities of agencies were highly embedded within the precise institutional and regulatory regime that resulted from the interaction between that in place in the origin country as well as that in the UK. The thesis seeks to contribute empirically and conceptually to a growing literature which exposes the behaviour of temporary staffing agencies within national labour markets as well as the migration industry literature which looks at the behaviour of actors which transport workers between national labour markets.

▼

A federal constitution has two sets of governments- federal and regional which are constitutionally allocated exclusive as well as shared jurisdictions, to say nothing of residual powers. For this reason, inter-governmental agencies are an essential mechanism to negotiate, regulate and formulate common policies at least in the policy areas of shared jurisdictions. Besides, such agencies may also be necessary for exclusive jurisdiction for the obvious reasons that in the era of cooperative federalism the federal government often use its generally larger revenues to initiate centrally sponsored schemes of development and social policies with the consent of state government. Such schemes may be fully or partly funded by the union and implemented by the states.One particular aspect of the institutional working of federal system is the role of inter-governmental agencies that facilitate a policy making by the Federal and Regional Governments."The founding fathers gave India a union model of federalism, which critically blends the best features of all the important types of federation. The emerging Indian model reconciles the imperatives of a strong centre with the need of state autonomy. It distributes power, yet does not effect a rigid compartmentalization. Functionally, it is an inter- dependent arrangement, where centre and states collectively aspire and work towards the welfare of the people. Working aberrations have caused functions in the centre-state relations, therefore demands for decentralization. This, however, does not require major changes but functional modifications in the constitution. Necessity of autonomy needs to be balanced with the imperatives of integration. The Indian constitution was framed when the idea of co-operative federalism was prevalent. Therefore, the constitution framers were aware of the need for such forums and thus incorporated Article 263. This Article in our constitution was borrowed from a similar provision in the government of India Act 1935, providing for the creation of an Inter Provisional Council. However, Article 263 was rarely used before the V.P. Singh Government set up a regular Inter-State Council (ISC) in 1990 by a presidential ordinance. But there has been another inter governmental forum in India that is Planning Commission, which is set up outside the framework of the constitution by a cabinet resolution of the Nehru Government in 1950 that has been very significant in many ways in the field of economic–policy making and planning than the Inter State Council has been in the political field.

▼ Globally, organisations have recognised the strategic importance of knowledge management (KM) and are increasingly focusing their efforts on practices to foster the creation, sharing and integration of knowledge. Whilst most research in Knowledge Management (KM) has focused on the private sector, there is a breadth of potential applications of KM theory and practice for government agencies to adopt in search of resolving pertinent problems. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence the effectiveness of knowledge management towards collaborative problem solving in government. What is missing is research-based evidence of the factors that influence the main factors for knowledge sharing across government agencies. Given this gap, the researcher addresses the research question: In government agencies mandated to resolve issues of crime, what are the key factors required which support and influence the collaborative sharing culture? Upon analysing the data, the researcher found the following key factors as being determinants on knowledge management: organisational culture, learning organisation, collaboration, subject matter experts and trust. The two factors – organisational culture and learning organisation were identified as the most significant factors which lay as the root or core for the ‘knowledge tree’. Once these roots are in place, the other factors will gain their significance on knowledge management. These findings serve to extend the findings of the existing literature within the government sector. This study is important because the findings provide government agencies with critically important information to guide their actions towards ensuring a knowledge sharing culture is embedded in government. Whilst the empirical findings do not focus on databases or information technology specifically, it is important to acknowledge the use of both technology and people. The main concern is with managing an organisation’s knowledge assets: creating, storing, protecting, disseminating and using mission-critical knowledge. When people need knowledge, is it the right knowledge and is it timely and easy to locate and access? Is this precious commodity updated as learning occurs and better ways of doing things are discovered? The awareness of the value of knowledge to a business, coupled with its leadership, acts as an integrator that improves cross- functional communication and cooperation. Shared knowledge not only makes for a more effective, efficient and agile organisation, but creates a common perspective and culture that produces a natural consistency of successful decisions and actions. The collaborative knowledge tree model proposed in this study uses the analogy of a tree when viewing South African government agencies as the branches of a collective tree (government). This ‘tree’ requires leaders and policy making to ‘dig deep’ into understanding the roots of the tree in order to ensure that the appropriate ‘seeds’ are planted such that the tree grows and is able to provide the… Advisors/Committee Members: Van Niekerk, H J Dr, Adendorff, C M Prof.

▼ North America is currently the most urbanized geographical area in the world, with over 82% of the population living in urban areas. Urbanization has led to a profound change in many ecosystems and associated wildlife across the nation and has altered the human perspective of the environment. Urban wildlife management is an emerging field of ecology that addresses the human dimension in urban wildlife ecosystems, taking into account human perspectives as well as wildlife needs in urban ecosystems. Universities and state wildlife agencies are the main driving forces for research and management, and it is crucial that these institutions provide support for managing wildlife in urban environments. Universities (n = 73) and state wildlife agencies (n = 50) in each state across the nation were surveyed to: 1) to assess whether a structure for urban wildlife management at state DNRs and universities across the U.S. existed; 2) compare current infrastructure for urban wildlife management to the infrastructure present prior to 2000; and 3) determine how current infrastructure for urban wildlife management might be related to other national trends including level of urbanization, economic loss due to urban wildlife, and participation in wildlife-related activities. The majority of these respondents agreed there was a public demand for urban wildlife management in their state and that their institution was involved in urban wildlife management concerns. However, respondents reported a total of only 126 full time urban wildlife biologists (compared to 8,451 traditional biologists) in state wildlife agencies and universities across the nation. Though there are still few urban wildlife biologists within state agencies or universities, the average number of urban wildlife biologists per institution has doubled since 1999. Indicators of infrastructure for urban wildlife management within state agencies and universities were unrelated to other national trends that were considered for the scope of this study. Despite limitations including lack of funding, competing wildlife issues, and poor communication, organizations should be more involved with addressing urban wildlife management concerns. State wildlife agencies and universities need to establish clear support and communication for urban wildlife needs. Though expansion in this area has occurred in the last two decades, there are growing urban wildlife concerns that should be addressed with focused attention by leading wildlife institutions.

▼ What explains the shift towards greater direct public oversight of financial markets in international financial regulation that has characterized the response to the global financial crisis of 2007-2010? Over this period, the main international financial regulatory bodies have abandoned the market-based mechanisms that had informed their approach towards the regulation of different financial domains in the years before the crisis and significantly expanded the perimeter of state-based regulation. However, the extent and the timing of this shift cannot be regarded only as the by-product of the crisis, nor they can be explained by the existing interpretations of the political determinants of international regulatory policies. This study builds upon existing state-centric explanations of international regulatory policies, but it goes beyond these works by exploring how the preferences of the most influential countries in response to the crisis have been influenced by variations in the degree of public salience of different financial domains. More specifically, this study argues that the lasting increase in the public salience of financial regulatory policies in the US and different European countries since the last quarter of 2008 has created strong incentives for elected officials in these countries to challenge the market-based approach that had emerged in the decade and half before the crisis and to directly interfere in the international regulatory agenda. In order to explain this shift, this study will analyse the evolution in the international governance of three sets of markets and institutions that have occupied an important position in the international regulatory agenda in recent years: 1) OTC derivatives; 2) rating agencies; 3) hedge funds. Besides making an empirical contribution to the literature on the politics of international financial regulation, this study also contributes theoretically to this literature by deepening our understanding of the nexus between international regulatory coordination and domestic public opinion.
