▼ Although the formulation of organisation strategies is
reportedly easier, many organisations struggle when it comes to
implementation of their strategies. Given that such strategies are
in most cases informed by well researched market data and
information, the strategy implementation challenges could then be
linked to the role characteristics of strategic leaders, such as
the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The purpose of this research was
to investigate the role of a CEO personality in strategic
leadership in order to contribute to addressing the challenges of
strategy implementation. The main methodology used was qualitative
through unstructured interviews with 13 incumbent CEOs. A
quantitative methodology was also employed to assess the
personalities of the CEOs using standard personality test. The
research found that strategic leadership practices are biased
towards strategy implementation than the
envisioning which
typically supports the building of more resilient strategies. The
research found that CEO Personality has a role in strategic
leadership and this was suggested by the integrated analysis of the
qualitative and quantitative data. Interviewed CEOs also provided
lived experiences that support this suggestion. Organisations need
to invest in
envisioning and understanding the personalities in
work places to build more resilient strategies. Further research is
proposed to look at personality roles in different
industries.

▼ A presente investigação incide na caracterização das estruturas arquitetónicas características do Alentejo
litoral – os montes – procurando estabelecer relações da sua génese e forma com o território, numa
perspectiva simultaneamente analítica e propositiva. O território é aqui entendido, não apenas de um modo
restringido às características biofísicas e climáticas, mas também enquanto resultado de diversos processos
de antropização que ocorrem ao longo da história, dando-se especial relevância à evolução do sistema
agrário e à compartimentação da propriedade, que está na origem de muitos montes.
Perante a problemática da desertificação e do abandono dos lugares e da arquitetura tradicional neste
território do Alentejo litoral, procurar-se-á, refletir sobre a salvaguarda, conservação e regeneração do
património construído, preservando a sua identidade, cultura, valor social; e fazer-se o reconhecimento
dos elementos relevantes na arquitetura vernacular do monte alentejano, considerando as transformações
da paisagem, as relações espaciais, a morfologia dos elementos construídos, os materiais e as técnicas
construtivas.
O objetivo será o de contribuir para o conhecimento do património rural agrícola construído, já considerado
noutros estudos, mas comportando uma abordagem tipológica e morfológica restringida aqui a parte do
Alentejo Litoral. Pretende-se propor uma análise crítica correspondente a um momento na história do
sistema agrário e do património construído no território que visa entender as suas dinâmicas e respetivas
influências na arquitetura vernacular, desde a sua génese até hoje. Considera-se também uma dimensão
propositiva através da investigação em projecto, em que o pressuposto projectual decorre da leitura e
interpretação do objecto.
Coloca-se, por um lado, uma hipótese de leitura dos montes através de um corte morfológico que articula
três sistemas no território (costa, serra e peneplanície), onde se identificam pontos (montes) e se reconhecem
linhas (relações). Por outro lado é colocada a hipótese de um olhar para o território a partir dos montes, que
constituíram e constituem elementos estruturantes na construção do território. Trata-se, em ambos os casos,
de uma leitura morfológica para uma abordagem estratégica.
Desta investigação em projeto resulta um momento propositivo que corresponderá à reflexão acerca da
atuação no património rural, frágil e despovoado dos montes, procurando compreender como é que os
montes podem ter um papel num território de produção. O que fazer com o legado dos montes?
Mais do que soluções a partir de um programa específico, é desenvolvida uma abordagem sistemática
e um horizonte de possibilidades, enunciado em seis linhas – Linha de litoral, linhas de água, linhas de
festo, linhas de vento, linhas de velocidade e linhas de distribuição – resultantes da leitura que se faz do
território a partir do monte, procurando obter uma visão estratégica para o território e para o legado dos
montes. Ulteriormente é feita uma abordagem crítica às possibilidades avançadas, de modo a…

▼ This investigation starts from the hypothesis that a new approach to new product development is required to meet the future requirements and expectations of customers and consumers and product and service providers. The investigation focuses upon domestic food refrigeration and its position within the retail food supply chain, with the domestic refrigerator as an example of a mature product, the future development of which, it is argued, may depend upon a new approach to new product development. A review of established and emerging new product development strategies suggests that such future requirements might be met through collaboration between organisations from different industrial sectors and across supply chains, and that existing strategies would not support such collaborations. A new methodology, Collaborative Envisioning is proposed which engages the business of academia and the tools of the designer to facilitate multidisciplinary trans-sectoral collaboration. It is further proposed that a demonstration project, Beyond the Fridge, is the most effective test for the methodology. Key participants in Beyond the Fridge are Sainsbury's, Electrolux, 3M, University College Northampton and University of East London. Results from Beyond the Fridge suggest that the Collaborative Envisioning methodology is effective in bringing together partners from different industrial sectors and uniting them around a shared and mutually supported vision of future business. However, the low start-up cost and high level of concept realisation inherent in the methodology have led to some overestimation of the tactical deliverables from an essentially strategic process. In the light of Beyond the Fridge it is recommended that structures are established at the initiation of a Collaborative Envisioning project so that tactical solutions which may be derived from the strategic objective are differentiated and separately funded from the core project. The reflection upon Beyond the Fridge, and the recommendations for future work derived from it, is followed by reviews of evolving consumer demographics and perceptions of food storage and preparation in the home, and recent initiatives to integrate new technologies into domestic and personal products, thus establishing the historical and social context for Beyond the Fridge.

A Framework for Supporting Organizational Transition

▼ Economic development over the last century has driven
a tripling of the world's population, a twenty-fold increase in
fossil fuel consumption, and a tripling of traditional biomass
consumption. The associated broad income and wealth inequities are
retaining over 2 billion people in poverty. Adding to this, fossil
fuel combustion is impacting the environment across spatial and
temporal scales and the cost of energy is outpacing all other
variable costs for most industries. With 60% of world energy
delivered in 2008 consumed by the commercial and industrial sector,
the fragmented and disparate energy-related decision making within
organizations are largely responsible for the inefficient and
impacting use of energy resources. The global transition towards
sustainable development will require the collective efforts of
national, regional, and local governments, institutions, the
private sector, and a well-informed public. The leadership role in
this transition could be provided by private and public sector
organizations, by way of sustainability-oriented organizations,
cultures, and infrastructure. The diversity in literature
exemplifies the developing nature of sustainability science, with
most sustainability assessment approaches and frameworks lacking
transformational characteristics, tending to focus on analytical
methods. In general, some shortfalls in sustainability assessment
processes include lack of: * thorough stakeholder participation in
systems and stakeholder mapping, * participatory envisioning of
future sustainable states, * normative aggregation of results to
provide an overall measure of sustainability, and * influence
within strategic decision-making processes. Specific to energy
sustainability assessments, while some authors aggregate results to
provide overall sustainability scores, assessments have focused
solely on energy supply scenarios, while including the deficits
discussed above. This paper presents a framework for supporting
organizational transition processes towards sustainable energy
systems, using systems and stakeholder mapping, participatory
envisioning, and sustainability assessment to prepare the
development of transition strategies towards realizing long-term
energy sustainability. The energy system at Arizona State
University's Tempe campus (ASU) in 2008 was used as a baseline to
evaluate the sustainability of the current system. From interviews
and participatory workshops, energy system stakeholders provided
information to map the current system and measure its performance.
Utilizing operationalized principles of energy sustainability,
stakeholders envisioned a future sustainable state of the energy
system, and then developed strategies to begin transition of the
current system to its potential future sustainable state. Key
findings include stakeholders recognizing that the current energy
system is unsustainable as measured against principles of energy
sustainability and an envisioned future sustainable state of the
energy system. Also, insufficient governmental stakeholder…

▼ Cette thèse vise à appliquer la théorie de la régulation en fonction des objectifs à l’analyse du comportement innovant au travail. Après avoir examiné l’état de l’art de la littérature sur l’innovation (premier chapitre), nous avons mené trois études empiriques sur des échantillons différents. Dans la première étude (deuxième chapitre), nous avons supposé et montré que la génération proactive des objectifs – incluant les processus de projection et de planification – était positivement liée au comportement innovant, et que l’engagement affectif, en interagissant avec la flexibilité du rôle ou avec le soutien du leader à l’innovation, modérait positivement cette relation. Dans la deuxième étude (troisième chapitre), nous avons proposé et montré que la planification médiatisait la relation entre la projection et l’innovation, et que l’habilitation psychologique et le soutien du leader à l’innovation modéraient positivement la relation entre la projection et la planification. Enfin, dans la troisième étude (quatrième chapitre), nous avons supposé et démontré que l’orientation d’apprentissage, le climat d’équipe pour l’innovation, et la variété dans la tâche stimulaient la performance innovante indirectement, à travers la médiation de la projection et de la planification, et que l’orientation d’apprentissage renforçait la relation entre la planification et l’innovation. Les implications théoriques et pratiques de nos études sont traitées dans la discussion générale.
The present dissertation aims at applying goal regulation theory to the study of innovative work behaviour. After reviewing the state-of-the-art of innovation literature (first chapter), we conducted three empirical studies on distinct samples. In the first study (second chapter), we hypothesized and found that proactive goal generation – which includes envisioning and planning processes – was positively related to innovative behaviour, and that affective commitment, interacting with production ownership or, alternatively, with leader support for innovation, strengthened this relationship. In the second study (third chapter), we proposed and showed that planning mediated the link between envisioning and innovation, and that psychological empowerment and team support for innovation positively moderated the relationship between envisioning and planning. Finally, in the third study (fourth chapter), we theorized and demonstrated that learning goal orientation, psychological climate for innovation, and task variety enhanced innovative performance indirectly through the mediation of envisioning and planning, and that learning goal orientation amplified the relationship between planning and innovation. Theoretical and practical implications of our works are addressed in the general discussion.

▼ This thesis envisions sustainable forestry communities in Northern Ontario. Forestry communities struggle to maintain a quality of life against obstacles such as external (often global) economic pressures on the community’s forestry operation, youth out-migration and lack of local control over their natural resources. Principle aims in this thesis are to understand the built environment of small, remote forestry communities; to propose a vision for community self-sufficiency and long-term sustainability; and lastly, to identify the role of architecture in envisioning a built environment that might evolve alongside principles for long-term sustainability.
The design exploration is focused on enhancing the quality of place in the north through effective integration with the boreal forest and its renewable resources. Scandinavian models emerging in towns with similar ecological conditions to Canada suggest that rethinking the use of local ecological resources might lead to appropriate architectural response in the region – one which offers stronger identity for these forestry communities.
Such design processes are centered on two main questions: what overall framework will allow communities themselves to self-organize local resources, culture and knowledge towards long-term sustainability and regional identity?; and how can architecture and design specifically contribute to these objectives as well as sustain forestry communities?

▼ Nyckeln till ett framgångsrikt och värdefullt företag är att göra bra investeringar eftersom det är investeringarna som skapar den avkastning som dess ägare får som ersättning (Froot, et al., 1994). Om företaget strävar efter att göra värdemaximerande investeringar måste de därför bedöma vilka investeringar som kan tänkas generera en avkastning som är större än kostnaden för kapitalet som investeras (Brealey, et al., 2014). Detta är den teoretiska grundregeln för all investeringsbedömning (Brealey, et al., 2014). Men eftersom framtiden är fylld av risk och osäkerhet är bedömningen av en investerings ekonomiska värde ingen enkel sak (Sandahl & Sjögren, 2005). I företagens strävan att tämja denna risk och osäkerhet har Mikes (2009;2011) identifierat två olika kulturer, den beräknande kulturen och den visualiserande kulturen. Dessa kulturer präglas av sin syn på vad som är meningsfullt att sannolikhets bedöma och vad som inte är meningsfullt att sannolikhets bedöma (Mikes, 2011). Synen på vad som är risk och osäkerhet kan också kopplas ihop med Knights (1964) definition av begreppen där risk är det mätbara och osäkerhet det omätbara. Med utgångspunkt i Knights (1964) definition av risk och osäkerhet försöker vi i denna studie förstå hur bedömningen av vindkraftsinvesteringar påverkas av företagens syn på risk och osäkerhet. Vi söker förståelsen genom att studera tre olika företag som på olika sätt kan kopplas samman med investeringar i vindkraft. De tre perspektiv vi studerar är dels bankens som lånar ut, dels den privata aktören som enbart investerar i vindkraft och dels den kommunala aktören där investeringar i vindkraft inte tillhör kärnverksamheten. Vår studie tyder på att de flesta risker som ingår vid bedömning av ett vindkraftverks ekonomiska värde uppfattas som osäkra. Den enda faktor som företagen försöker mäta och sannolikhets bedöma är vinden, detta är därför den enda faktor som kan anses vara en kvantifierbar riskfaktor enlighet Knights definition. Osäkerhetsfaktorerna som det framtida priset på el och elcertifikat hanteras istället med hjälp av kvalitativa metoder. Även om vinden verkar uppfattas som den viktigaste faktorn kan man därför argumentera för att den slutliga bedömningen av det ekonomiska värdet framför allt är en kvalitativ bedömning där erfarenhet och intuition spelar en avgörande roll. De studerade vindkraftsexploatörerna verkar därför tillhöra den visualiserande kulturen.
The key to a successful and valuable business is to make good investments because it is investment that creates the returns that its owner receives as compensation (Froot et al., 1994). If the company strives to make value -maximizing investments they must therefore assess which investments may generate a return greater than the cost of capital invested (Brealey et al., 2014). This is the theoretical basic rule of any investment decision (Brealey et al., 2014). But since the future is fraught with risk and uncertainty assessment of an investment's economic value is not…

▼ This thesis is entitled “Fostering collective teacher efficacy through values-based leadership in Ethiopian institutions of higher education”, which is delimited to the private universities. The main question was “What constitutes/determines the institutionalisation of values-based leadership (VBL) to foster collective teacher efficacy (CTE) in the context of Ethiopian private universities (EPrUs)?” The sub-questions were: 1) what does the current state of CTE and its perceived outcomes look like in EPrUs? 2) What sets of behaviours are desired to institutionalise VBL so as to foster CTE in EPrUs? 3) What are the institutional contexts required to institutionalise VBL so as to foster CTE in EPrUs? In addressing these issues, academic leaders, students and teachers from EPrUs participated in the study. As methods of data gathering both the survey method and interviews were used. Results revealed that CTE is not high enough in EPrUs and hence it
needs to be fostered so as to bring the desired change in students’ learning. To foster this, institutionalisation of VBL is required that involves two inter-related aspects. The first one is about institutionalising desired values (behaviours), which are linked to the academic leaders’ yearning for positive sets of values and the teachers’ moral contract to their professional values. To this effect, the positive sets of values that academic leaders should yearn for and the sets of values that teachers should espouse as their professional values are explored. The commonalities between these values are also described and how these would be institutionalised is suggested. The values include integrity and trustworthiness, humility/selflessness, compassion and sense of gratitude, accountability and self-discipline, sense of collaboration and teamwork, and
envisioning in leadership as the driving force. The second aspect is about institutionalising the contexts conducive to foster CTE and
VBL support behaviours. The need to institutionalise those behaviours and contexts arise out of the perceived leadership gap (between what the teachers believe are the leadership priorities of the leaders and the behaviours they actually see in the leaders). This gap has been linked to CTE, and hence a model has been developed that would foster this efficacy.

▼ Meeting the needs of multilingual learners is a growing concern for many classroom teachers across the nation as school-age populations in the United States continue to become more ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse. Teachers often have little understanding of diverse learners and frequently express misconceptions about these students and their cultures. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the social, cultural, and linguistic resources multilingual learners draw upon and the literacy practices they enact during reading and writing workshop when culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) is implemented. This study also examined how culturally relevant (CR) texts and materials influenced multilingual learners’ understanding of the reading and writing process. The study focused on two third and fourth-grade multilingual learners over the course of twelve weeks—six weeks during a summer enrichment program, followed by six-weeks of tutoring in their homes. Several theories informed this study including sociocultural theory, critical social theory, and second language acquisition theory.
Results show that models of literacy were alive in these multilingual learners’ homes and their families were co-learners along with the participants. The participants used a variety of resources from their homes and communities to successfully navigate various social settings such as school. As the participants moved between their home environments and the community, they traveled in and out of their native language of Spanish (L1) and English (L2), fluidly accessing both languages, as if surrounded by invisible, flexible bands of language. Pulling from their entire linguistic repertoire, the participants translanguaged between their L1 and L2 to accomplish many tasks. Frequently, the students assumed the roles of interpreters, translating for parents, teachers, and friends, allowing others access to their linguistic resources. Both participants also used their linguistic abilities to become gatekeepers, withholding information from others and situating themselves into a position of power. Using culturally relevant texts and materials enhanced the participants’ learning in many ways. Utilizing CR texts and materials helped support the participants’ identities as multilingual learners, increased their sense of agency and linguistic security, and enhanced their understanding of reading and writing process.

▼ My research examined how Indigenous students chose their post-secondary educational
academic pathway, specifically the timing, type and amount information Indigenous students had
prior to being enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs at Laurentian University,
Sudbury, Ontario. This study utilized an Indigenous research methodology and quantitative
method with a few qualitative questions using REDCap online survey. The research found that
while current Laurentian Indigenous students had multiple pathways prior to enrollment at the
university level, the results also found that earlier outreach might one of the strategies to closing
the educational attainment gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students at the postsecondary level. The study also revealed a need for Laurentian University to form close
relationships with Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario to allow potential future students
a way of envisioning the benefits and opportunities of their education pathway.

Envisioning an Uncertain Climate Future: Space, Learning,

▼ Researchers and practitioners are increasingly using
envisioning approaches to learn about and propose responses to
possible uncertain futures, including under climate change.
Participatory scenario building is one envisioning tool that brings
together facilitators and participants to merge local experiential
knowledge with exogenous knowledge to explore uncertainty. Yet, in
practice, we do not sufficiently understand scenario building as a
tool for climate change adaptation. This dissertation assesses a
participatory scenario building activity for climate change
adaptation with rural communities in Ghana. Using participatory
observation, textual analysis, and interviews, this assessment
tracks the scenario building activity from the development of the
method by American and Ghanaian researchers and Ghanaian
non-governmental organization facilitators through the
implementation of a series of iterative activities in four
communities. I organize my analysis using three concepts from
scholarship on participatory action research: space, learning, and
resources. First, I identify the material and discursive
characteristics of spaces in the case study scenario building
activity to understand the processes of learning and envisioning. I
use the notion of space to explore the characteristics and
processes that enable learning and envisioning in the spaces of the
case study activity. Second, I describe the cycles of action and
reflection that constitute learning during the development and
implementation of the scenario building activity. I document the
iterative, multi-level learning across the groups of actors
involved in the activity and identify what enables learning for
climate change adaptation when applying a scenario building
approach. Finally, I explore the resources, defined by Kesby (2007)
as discourses, knowledge, and practices applied in a participatory
research activity, that participants and facilitators used to
recognize the uncertainties associated with climate change. This
analytical framework reveals the ability of participants to
acknowledge uncertainty under climate change, as well the
challenges to embracing such uncertainty through scenario
building.The three analyses together enabled the identification of
the components that facilitate envisioning an uncertain climate
future in the case study scenario building activity. This has
significance for understanding how envisioning is enacted to
address the challenges of climate change and facilitate alternative
futures with participating actors as agents of
change.
