▼ Public research universities face increasing pressure from policy makers and the public to demonstrate economic relevance. As a response to this pressure, universities are adopting an “economically engaged” orientation, taking up and renewing commitments to technology-based economic development, workforce expansion, and cultivation of place through social, cultural, and community development.
Research on university-engaged economic development has generally focused on external aspects of engagement, leaving internal organizational changes largely unexamined. When such research has been internally focused, it has been concerned with specific organizational units or functions within the research mission of the university, such as technology transfer operations or interdisciplinary research centers. In practice, engagement bridges internal and external aspects of the university. University economic engagement must employ aspects of the institution’s teaching and service missions as well as that of research, and it must include efforts across university units, departments, and functions. The lack of research on university adaptation to economic engagement from both an internal and institution-wide perspective has limited our understanding of this continually evolving aspect of university mission. Understanding internal and institution-wide dynamics around economic engagement will help university leaders and other practitioners, as well as researchers and policy makers, to shape more effective models of university-engaged economic development.
Examining how a public research university adapts to a mission orientation of economic engagement provides the opportunity to see what kinds of organizational dynamics are at play. This study closely examined three universities within a public university system—the University of Massachusetts’s flagship institution in Amherst, its Medical School in Worcester, and its Lowell campus. Twenty-nine participants from these three institutions, the system president’s office, and the state government were interviewed. Using a conceptual framework adapted from the literature on universities and regional development, these interviews were explored through a new concept called the Intramural Economic Engagement Interface (Intramural EEI). This idea encompasses organizational/structural and functional dynamics that play in the university’s move toward an economically engaged orientation. Using an inductive and descriptive research design, the analysis of interview data led to development of case studies for each of the three UMass institutions. In a cross-case analysis, organizational theoretical concepts of sensemaking and
loose coupling were applied, through which the characteristics of the Intramural EEI at these UMass institutions were interpreted. The research design and data analysis led to a detailed picture of the interrelationships between rhetoric, structure, and activities—and between the teaching, research, and service missions—and how these interrelationships facilitate…

▼ For decades, educational scholars have claimed that public schools are loosely coupled organizations, but research does not fully address how schools create the coupling structure. This dissertation addresses the causes of coupling, before
turning to the consequences tight coupling has on both teachers and students. Throughout the dissertation, I rely on perspectives of neo-institutionalism and coupling to address three empirical questions: (1) how do federal policy, state characteristics,
local factors, and principal attributes affect school-level couplings? (2) How do federal policy eras, state characteristics, local-level coupling, principal attributes, and teacher characteristics affect the formal relationships between principals and
teachers? And (3) how does tight coupling in schools affects teachers’ social bonds and student deviance at the school-level? Utilizing six waves of the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), I rely on OLS regression and fixed effects regression models to
analyze my research questions. At the school-level, findings suggest three major influences on coupling within schools. First, federal policies have had a non-linear effect on school-level coupling. Second, the relationship between the district and the
school affects school-level coupling. Finally, principals play a key role in shaping the coupling within the school, and coupling is a gendered process. At the teacher-level, my results suggest that teachers who instruct in tested subjects report tighter
coupling than those who teach in non-tested subjects. Further, the gender combinations of principal and teacher are important for understanding how teachers experience different degrees of loose-to-tight coupling. The final empirical chapter investigates
the consequences of tight coupling for teachers and students at the school-level and draws upon insights from social control theory. Findings suggest negative effects for both teachers and students. First, tight coupling increases deviance among students
within the school. Second, strong occupational social bonds among teachers reduce student deviance. Finally, tight coupling weakens teachers’ occupational social bonds.

▼ Youth civic engagement has emerged as a subset of educational research increasing in importance, both in the United States and abroad. This importance is expounded by a school culture obsessed with standardized test performance, which characterizes the current domestic condition. The purpose of education is undergoing a shift—curricula are woven to prepare students to perform well on tests instead of prepare them to be active members of a democratic society. The present case study examines a veteran sixth-grade educator who teaches in a suburban school district in close proximity to a gigantic research university. The data presented in the article have been collected through ongoing classroom observations and personal interviews spanning January-April, 2013, and December, 2013-present. Data include field notes from classroom observations, in-depth interviews with the teacher and her colleagues, brief conversations with students, and written student reflections. The goal of this study is to highlight the work of an experienced and driven teacher in a loosely coupled educational system, describe the decisions made by a street level bureaucrat, and draw implications regarding the benefits and drawbacks to when a teacher chooses to append civic-minded projects to the prescribed curriculum.

▼ This dissertation examines how loosely coupled university units collaborate in the achievement of institutional wide goals. Today's higher education institutions are being asked to do more with less as resources have decreased and regulatory procedures have increased. Collaboration is being touted as a means to improve student learning, avoid redundant efforts and protect access and affordability. When considering that the future of higher education is noted to rely heavily on institutions' ability to foster collaboration amongst its many components, it is vital that more data is collected that explains how collaboration happens at a loosely coupled university. To examine this phenomenon, this study utilized a qualitative case study methodology to explore the collaborative efforts of the faculty, staff, and administrators at a large state university during their acquisition of a grant which required the institution to infuse entrepreneurial principles throughout the institution. The data collected for this study revealed that when considering how loosely coupled university units employ concerted action, five elements proved significant in the achievement of institutional goals. The processes and performance of the units, the collaborative processes of the group, the commitment of the units to the institutional goal, the presence and management of conflict, and the presence of a superordinate goal delineate what constitutes collaborative goal attainment at this large, loosely coupled research university. The significance of these themes was determined by their congruence to the evidence gathered from reviews of the literature outlining group dynamics and collaboration in higher education. The findings of this study provide data that can aid institutions in engaging their loosely coupled units in collaborative action in the achievement of institution- wide goals.

▼ This study describes how the concept of “community” is
framed in traditional public and charter high school guiding
statements and interviews with school leaders. Guiding statements
from public high schools in Arizona were analyzed and interviews
were conducted with principals from traditional public schools and
charter school principals. The findings suggested similarities
between traditional public high schools and charter high schools in
their framing of the concept of community, suggesting that schools
are loosely coupled to state and federal education departments in
particular, and to varying degrees at the district level: The
guiding statements and high school leaders generally distinguished
between the “school as community” frame inside the school and the
“the local community” frame focused on the community outside of the
school. Both traditional public high schools and charter schools
emphasized the importance of both frames and their connections with
“the local community.” Differences between traditional public
schools and charter schools were observed, as schools appeared to
attempt to legitimize themselves in different ways to the
communities they are located in. Despite open enrollment policies
leading to inter-district enrollment, traditional public schools
have a mandate to primarily serve students from a specific area and
were framed in the guiding statements and by school leaders as
being part of and serving a geographically defined community that
they have close ties to, the “school as a member of community”
frame. Charter schools, on the other hand, focused on creating and
serving a specific educational community characterized by shared
interests, ideals, and expectations (‘school as community”) and
contributing to the community that the school is located in
(“school as a contributor to community”).

▼ Στην εν λόγω εργασία, έγινε μια προσπάθεια καταγραφής του τεχνολογικού τοπίου της τηλεπικοινωνιακής αγοράς, με έμφαση την διαλειτουργικότητα μεταξύ των Δικτύων Κινητής Τηλεφωνίας και των Ασύρματων Δικτύων Δεδομένων και των σχετικών αλλαγών που έχει επιφέρει αυτή η διαλειτουργικότητα, τόσο στις παρεχόμενες υπηρεσίες, όσο και στα εφαρμοζόμενα επιχειρηματικά μοντέλα από πλευράς εταιρειών της συγκεκριμένης αγοράς.
Στα πλαίσια αυτής της προσπάθειας, χρειάστηκε να πραγματοποιηθεί μια λεπτομερής καταγραφή των τεχνολογικών εξελίξεων, σε επίπεδο τεχνικών προδιαγραφών και προτύπων, στις παραπάνω δύο κατηγορίες δικτύων, ώστε να καταλήξουμε σε εκείνα τα πρότυπα που πλέον μπορούν να οδηγήσουν στην υλοποίηση δικτύων τα οποία θα χαρακτηρίζονται από τα παρακάτω:
• θα είναι ενοποιημένα ώστε οι διαφορετικές τεχνολογικές πλατφόρμες των εταιρειών να λειτουργούν απρόσκοπτα,
• θα χαρακτηρίζονται από χαμηλό κόστος,
• ο τελικός χρήστης θα μπορεί να είναι συνεχώς συνδεδεμένος με κάποιο δίκτυο ασύρματης πρόσβασης και να απολαμβάνει τις υπηρεσίες που επιθυμεί, οποτεδήποτε και οπουδήποτε.
Η δομή της διπλωματικής εργασίας ακολουθεί τον προαναφερθέντα τρόπο σκέψης. Στο 1ο Κεφάλαιο γίνεται μια σύντομη παρουσίαση του στόχου σε επίπεδο τεχνολογιών αλλά και υπηρεσιών, δηλαδή των αναμενόμενων αποτελεσμάτων αυτών των δικτύων νέας γενιάς, στα οποία έχουμε συνηθίσει να αναφερόμαστε ως δίκτυα 4G (4th Generation) ή δίκτυα B3G (Beyond 3G) ή τέλος ως All – IP ασύρματα δίκτυα.
Στο 2ο Κεφάλαιο, γίνεται μια λεπτομερής παρουσίαση των Δικτύων Κινητής Τηλεφωνίας από τις πρώτες τους εκδοχές (1G) έως τις πλέον σύγχρονες (3.5G) που έχουν εμφανιστεί μέχρι σήμερα. Αναλύονται τόσο οι γενιές των δικτύων όσο και τα χρησιμοποιούμενα πρότυπα, σε επίπεδο αρχιτεκτονικής όσο και σε επίπεδο πρωτοκόλλων. Στη συνέχεια του κεφαλαίου υπάρχει η τεχνική περιγραφή των επικρατέστερων δικτύων κινητής τηλεφωνίας, σήμερα, δηλαδή των GSM, GPRS και UMTS, ενώ στο τέλος του κεφαλαίου υπάρχει μια σύντομη περιγραφή της διαδικασίας intersystem handover μεταξύ των GSM και UMTS.
Στο 3ο Κεφάλαιο, περνάμε πλέον στα Ασύρματα Δίκτυα Δεδομένων. Γίνεται μια εκτενής περιγραφή των προτύπων που έχουν καθοριστεί και συγκεκριμένα στα πρότυπα IEEE 802.15 Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) με κυριότερους εκφραστές τα δίκτυα βασιζόμενα σε Bluetooth και IrDA, το πρότυπο IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) με σημαντικότερος εκπροσώπους τα WiFi και HyperLan/2, το πρότυπο IEEE 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANs) ή αλλιώς γνωστότερο ως WiMAX και τέλος το πρότυπο IEEE 802.20 Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs) ή διαφορετικά Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MWBA) το οποίο είναι υπό διερεύνηση ακόμα και φιλοδοξεί να αποτελέσει το ασύρματο ανάλογο της τεχνολογίας xDSL, καθώς θα προσφέρει ασύρματες ευρυζωνικές υπηρεσίες.
Στο 4ο Κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται μεθοδολογίες υλοποίησης του integration μεταξύ δικτύων των δύο κατηγοριών και συγκεκριμένα παραδείγματα διαλειτουργικότητας, όπως μεταξύ GPRS ή UMTS και WLANs ή μεταξύ UMTS και WiMAX. Γίνεται εκτενής συζήτηση γύρω από τα προβλήματα…

▼ The notion of schools as “loosely-coupled” organizations has been widely discussed in the research literature. Many argue that the
loose coupling is either a protective mechanism for schools to buffer external pressure or a barrier to implementing new reforms. Against the backdrop of standards-based reform and accountability policies in the last 15 years, which focus on tightening the system as the way to improve K-12 schools, I conducted three related studies to empirically test the
loose coupling theory by applying two-level hierarchical linear models to nationally representative data in the US.
In the first study I evaluated the
loose coupling theory by examining the association between data-informed improvement efforts at the school level and data-informed instruction at the classroom level. Statistically significant associations were identified. However, the effect sizes were small, and a very small proportion of variance was explained. In the second study I evaluated the
loose coupling theory through examining the association between data-informed improvement efforts at the district and school levels. Statistically significant associations were identified with large effect sizes, and a large proportion of variance was explained. In the third study, I examined whether school performance was attributable to data-informed decision-making at the district, school, and classroom levels. Only one school level data-informed decision-making area was statistically significant.
In summary, viewing “using data” as a
coupling mechanism and “decision-making” as a
coupling element, I found that the K-12 system appears to be “loosely-coupled” between the school and classroom levels, but “tightly-coupled” between the district and school levels. In other words, the blanket statement of “schools as loosely coupled organizations” is not accurate. Thus, the dominant reform agenda in the last 15 years based on this blanket statement—advocating to tighten the system via curriculum standards, accountability tests, and evaluation as the way to improve the K-12 schools—is called into question. Policy implications are discussed.

▼ This dissertation explored how police administrators in one large U.S. police agency introduced an innovation that attempted to tighten organizational
loose coupling by democratizing information and establishing an accountability process, and how the ‘rank and file’ reacted to the organizational change attempts. Using police officers’ perceptions and voices this dissertation examined how one agency tried to penetrate police culture and practice with strategies designed to override some of the closely held organizational tenets. Leadership and organizational justice theories framed the exploration. The findings of this organizational study may suggest implications and considerations for other law enforcement agencies attempting change of this kind, especially for agencies seeking to increase accountability.

▼ Organizational work roles and structures of public universities are increasingly being studied for their effectiveness and support of the overall organization mission. This thesis examines senior unit-level leaders, and their associated
levels of autonomy, within schools of business in public universities. Two school settings were studied through a review of their available marketing materials and industry association data, leading MBA media surveys and in-depth interviews with the
senior unit-level leaders. This investigation of factors that affect decision-making, work control, reporting structures, and personal motivation suggests that an understanding of the context and internal and external environments is paramount to
determining effectiveness. The study also finds that there are unique differences in autonomy between three work statuses of senior unit-level leaders: faculty, administrators and faculty administrators. These work roles are not necessarily assigned
discrete levels of autonomy, rather their incumbents adapt and shape their influence and work control through and because of their work status. Academic freedom and shared academic governance, in terms of autonomy, are also examined.

▼ Den här uppsatsen har sin utgångspunkt i en arbetsgrupp, inom äldrevården,
vilken har en förhållandevis jämn fördelning mellan antalet män och kvinnor.
Hypotesen är att en organisation, med en sådan arbetsgrupp, i större utsträckning
inhyser konflikter mellan arbetsplatsens jämställdhet och vårdtagarnas valfrihet att
tacka ja eller nej till hjälp beroende på om den tilltänkta utföraren är man eller
kvinna. Platsen har alltså valts strategiskt för att utröna om hypotesen kan bekrä
ftas. Uppsatsen behandlar hur organisationen, formellt och informellt, samordnar
dessa normer och utgår ifrån att det finns en inneboende intressekonflikt i
relationen dem emellan. Det empiriska materialet har hämtats in med hjälp av
samtalsintervjuer. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att tydliggöra ansvarsfö
rdelningen för hur de olika normerna avvägs mot varandra men också att utröna
vilka efterverkningar avvägningarna får i det praktiska arbetet och rekryteringen.
Som titeln implicerar använde sig organisationen av en undvikande logik i avvä
gningen. Istället för att synliggöra konflikten tonade man ner den genom att bara
ta till sig jämställdhetskonceptet på ett terminologiskt plan och på så sätt lö
skoppla det från de interna aktiviteterna. Genom detta pragmatiska förhållningssä
tt kunde arbetet fortlöpa som tidigare utan att den inbyggda intressekonflikten
gjorde avkall på effektiviteten.
This essay has its outset in a work team within the elderly care. The work team is
relatively equally composed regarding the number of men and women. The
hypothesis is that an organization, with a work team of that composition, will
even more so contain conflicts between the work place' equality and the caretakers
freedom of choice to accept or decline help depending on if the prospective
personnel is male or female. The scene of the study has thereby been chosen
strategically in order to prove the hypothesis. The essay is addressing how the
organization, formally and informally, coordinates these norms and assumes that
there is an immanent conflict of interest in the relation between them. The
empirical data has been obtained through research interviews. The intention of the
essay has been to clarify the division of responsibilities regarding how the norms
should be balanced in relation to one another but also to determine which impacts
the balancing will provide in the hands-on work and the recruitment of new staff.
As the title implicate; did the organization use an avoidant approach in the
balancing process. Rather than making the conflict visible, it was de-emphasized
by absorbing the concept of equality only on a semantic level, thereby loose
coupling the concept from the internal activities. Through such pragmatic
disposition the activities could proceed as before without a conflict of interests
intervening on the efficiency of the organization.

▼ Loosely coupled workgroups are common in the real world, and workers in these groups are autonomous and weakly interdependent. They have patterns of work and collaboration that distinguish them from other types of groups, and groupware systems that are designed to support
loose coupling must address these differences. However, they have not been studied in detail in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and the design process for these groups is currently underspecified. This forces designers to start from scratch each time they develop a system for loosely coupled groups, and they must approach new work settings with little information about how work practices are organized.
In this dissertation, I present a design framework to improve the groupware design process for loosely coupled workgroups. The framework has three main parts that add a new layer of support to each of the three stages in the general groupware design process: data collection about the target work setting, analysis of the data, and system design based on the analysis results. The framework was developed to provide designers with support during each of these stages so that they can consider important characteristics of loosely coupled work practice while carrying out design for the target group. The design framework is based on information from CSCW and organizational research, and on real-world design experiences with one type of loosely coupled workgroup—home care treatment teams.
The framework was evaluated using observations, interviews, and field trials that were carried out with multidisciplinary home care treatment teams in Saskatoon Health Region. A series of field observations and interviews were carried out with team members from each of the home care disciplines. The framework was then used to develop Mohoc, a groupware system that supports work in home care. Two field trials were carried out where the system was used by teams to support their daily activities. Results were analyzed to determine how well each part of the design framework performed in the design process. The results suggest that the framework was able to fill its role in specializing the general CSCW design process for loosely coupled groups by adding consideration for work and collaboration patterns that are seen in loosely coupled settings. However, further research is needed to determine whether these findings generalize to other loosely coupled workgroups.

Loose coupling and substitution principle in objet-oriented frameworks for web services : Couplage faible et principe de substitution dans les environnements à objets pour les services web.

▼ Actuellement, l’implémentation des services (modèles SOAP et RESTful) et de leurs applications clientes est de plus en plus basée sur la programmation par objet. Ainsi, les cadriciels orientés-objets pour les services Web sont essentiellement composés de deux couches : une couche à objets qui enveloppe une couche à services. Dans ce contexte, deux principes sont nécessaires pour la spécification de ces cadriciels : (i) En premier lieu, un couplage faible entre les deux couches, ce qui permet de cacher la complexité des détails techniques de la couche à services dans la couche à objets et de faire évoluer la couche à services avec un impact minimal sur la couche à objets (ii) En second lieu, une interopérabilité induite par le principe de substitution associée au sous-typage dans la couche à objets. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons d’abord les faiblesses existantes dans les cadriciels orientés-objets liés à ces deux principes. Ensuite, nous proposons une nouvelle spécification pour ces cadriciels en vue de résoudre ces problèmes. Comme application, nous décrivons la mise en œuvre de notre spécification dans le cadriciel cxf, à la fois pour SOAP et RESTful.
Today, the implementation of services (SOAP and RESTful models) and of client applications is increasingly based on object-oriented programming languages. Thus, object-oriented frameworks for Web services are essentially composed with two levels: an object level built over a service level. In this context, two properties could be particularly required in the specification of these frameworks: (i)First a loose coupling between the two levels, which allows the complex technical details of the service level to be hidden at the object level and the service level to be evolved with a minimal impact on the object level, (ii) Second, an interoperability induced by the substitution principle associated to subtyping in the object level, which allows to freely convert a value of a subtype into a supertype. In this thesis, first we present the existing weaknesses of object-oriented frameworks related to these two requirements. Then, we propose a new specification for object-oriented Web service frameworks in order to resolve these problems. As an application, we provide an implementation of our specification in the cxf framework, for both SOAP and RESTful models.

▼ Afin d'étudier le rôle du Contrôle de Gestion dans la stratégie de développement durable (DD) de l'entreprise, nous proposons dans un premier temps, un cadre d'analyse fondé sur une revue de la littérature, sur la responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise (RSE) et du contrôle, complétée, dans un deuxième temps, par une étude exploratoire. Ces investigations théoriques et empiriques nous conduisent à proposer la thèse suivante : devant le double défi de l'efficience et de la légitimité, l'entreprise met en oeuvre des systèmes de contrôle diagnostic et interactif. Cette juxtaposition permet de répondre rationnellement aux différentes parties prenantes en dissociant les domaines de performance globale. Cette pratique confirme, d'une part, le rôle du Contrôle de Gestion en tant que vérificateur d'une logique managériale financière et d'autre part, elle participe à l'amorce d'un processus de rééquilibrage entre le système de gouvernance, la stratégie et le contrôle. Cette transformation du modèle économique se heurte à des difficultés techniques et culturelles d'où l'observation d'un phénomène de couplage plus ou moins lâche entre les idéaux du DD et les actions quotidiennes de l'entreprise.
So as to study the role of management control in the sustainable development of the firm, we first propose a conceptual framework based on a review dealing with Corporate Social Responsability and Control. Secondly, an exploratory study will complete the research.These theorical and empirical investigations lead us to offer the fallowing proposition : facing the double challenge of efficiency and legitimacy, the firm implements control protocols aiming to both establish a diagnosis and interact. This juxtaposition allows to answer in a rational way to the different stakeholders, while the different domains of the overal performance are isolated. This pratice establishes the part of management control as monotoring financial and managing logics first. It then participates to the processus of balancing the system of governance,the strategy and the control.This changing of the business model clashes with technical and cultural difficulties, hence we can observe a phenomenon of tigher or looser coupling between the ideals of the sustainable development and the every day working of the firm.

▼ The main strategy of gender equality policies has since the 1990s been gender mainstreaming. Many government inquiries show how much the Swedish government, provincial governments and municipalities are working with gender mainstreaming. The purpose of this paper is to investigative how the municipalities within the county of Stockholm handle gender mainstreaming demands in relation to other demands that the municipalities face. This is in order to closer investigate the hidden factors that create barriers to gender mainstreaming efforts. Given the study's purpose and the formulation of research question, qualitative method is the most suitable method to fulfill the purpose. The theoretical starting points used in this study was organizational theories with discussion of concepts such as institutional isomorphism, rationalized myths, organizational hypocrisy, parallel processes, and especially the theory of loosely coupled systems. The conclusion of this study is that the municipalities within the county of Stockholm handle demands from the environment in different ways. Some municipalities loose couple their system as a temporary solution to deal with various demands placed on the municipality. The result is that there is a lack of coordination within municipalities and their various governments, which in turn results in many municipalities working with the gender issue in parallel processes, hence they lack an overview of the activities in the municipality. These factors are common barriers to gender mainstreaming efforts in the studied municipalities.

▼ The theoretical argument of the current research is
that athletic departments have been effective in attaining their
conflicting goals mainly because they have become highly effective
in managing institutional rules. Neo-institutionalism (DiMaggio
& Powell, 1991),
loose coupling (Meyer & Rowan, 1977), and
patterns of bureaucracy (Gouldner, 1954) form the theoretical
cornerstone of the current research. Sport management
investigations about goals and processes of intercollegiate
athletics (Trail & Chelladurai, 2000) offer an unique
opportunity to investigate these sociological theories of
management in sport contexts. The initial endeavor of the current
research was to explore and describe relationships between
intercollegiate athletics goals and processes and coaches‘
perceptions about how institutional rules have been negotiated
inside athletic departments (patterns of bureaucracy). To attain
this aim, first, I proposed a scale to measure different patterns
of bureaucracy in athletic departments and tested its psychometric
properties. Then, I investigated the structural relationships among
intercollegiate athletics goals, processes, and patterns of
bureaucracy.I received back 382 questionnaires from Division I
coaches (response rate of 38.2%), 326 from Division II (32.6%), and
359 from Division III (35.9%). From these questionnaires some had
to be eliminated due to either the irresponsible nature of the
responses. A final sample of 907 (ndivI = 322; ndivII = 277;
ndivIII = 308) was used to test the hypotheses. For controlling for
non-response error, late respondents were compared to early
respondents. Late respondents did not differ from early respondent
in any variable for all three divisions. Initial confirmatory
factor analyses (CFA) showed acceptable fit indexes, but some items
did not load sufficiently high in their constructs. After some
refining, the new proposed bureaucracy scale presented good
psychometric properties, as did the goals and processes scales.
Multiple-group CFA indicated fully measurement invariance for
bureaucracy and goals scales, and partial measurement invariance
for processes scale.Single-group structural equation modeling (SEM)
analyses showed that the correlation between developmental and
performance goals was large and significant for all three divisions
(rdivI = .654; rdivII = .660; rdivIII = .582). The regression
coefficient of developmental processes on developmental goals was
large and significant for all three divisions (beta divI = .924;
beta divII = .909; beta divIII = .853). Also, the regression
coefficient of performance processes on performance goals was large
and significant for all three divisions (beta divI = .902; beta
divII = .780; beta divIII = .933). For all three divisions,
developmental process was a significant predictor of all three
types of bureaucracy: mock bureaucracy (beta divI = -.313; beta
divII = -.392; beta divIII = -.406), representative bureaucracy
(beta divI = .289; beta divII = .414; beta divIII = .411) and
discordant bureaucracy (beta beta divI = .226;…

▼ The aim of this thesis is to investigate if it is possible to predict the outcome of the execution of an FDI initiative in Albania through the use of a mechanistic framework which has been developed as part of this research project. Presented here is a new framework to understand the success or failure of foreign direct investment by investigating the micro-level mechanisms that are common to all FDI ventures. Since an essential component of this framework is the target country where FDI is being pursued, it is imperative that the framework be discussed using a particular country as a case and for the purpose of this work, Albania has been chosen. Most fundamental theories of FDI are macroeconomic in nature and attempt to explain why FDI happens and to what extent it may be expected but none of these theories deals with the matter at a micro-level. As a result even when predictions of a certain level of FDI are made, the reality in terms of achievement is usually very different. The proposed framework identifies the process of FDI in a country, hereafter referred to as HOST, of necessity, to go through an interaction of 3 principal players – the Government (GOVT), the trans-national company acting as a foreign direct investor (TNC) and the Investment Promotion Intermediaries (IPI). FDI is truly facilitated by the interaction of these 3 players through binary interactions, namely GOVTIPI, IPITNC and TNCGOVT. Tight coupling in these pairs will promote success in FDI and loose coupling will act as a hindrance. The extent of coupling is measured through primary data collected from members belonging to the sets of GOVT, IPI and TNC. The issues or factors in relation to which the extent of the above mentioned binary couplings are estimated are determined based on an analysis of the HOST, the country of Albania, in light of the process flows that have to be endured in order to achieve a successful FDI. This study is not only a framework that can be used to understand the dynamics of FDI at a micro-level, but also to troubleshoot an ill-functioning foreign investment initiative. It also holds a great promise in comparing different countries using a common framework, especially if the TNC and IPI sets are identical. This framework is referred to as the 3 Player framework in this thesis and is the only original contribution proposed here. All other frameworks presented in this work are largely used as vantage points to map some of their aspects of interest to the 3 Player framework.

▼ The "One Baker" initiative was used by Baker University to promote unity and common purpose across the four distinct academic units that comprise the university (Baker University, 2011a). It was developed because the university was concerned that the units were too separated and isolated from each other. As a part of this proposal, the university is considering implementing a university faculty senate. The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine the faculty's perception of the initiative. The conceptual framework for this study is based on an understanding of higher education institutions, effectiveness, communication, formal governance including faculty senates, and
loose coupling. Seventeen participants in the study represented all of the four units of the university and were selected to capture a diversity of opinions. Themes were developed from semi-structured interviews. Participants indicated that One Baker was needed to present a more unified brand for the university and to overcome the lack of appreciation of the contributions of all of the units. Further developing the initiative would help the university by increasing the faculty member's ability to be a spokesperson for the university, increasing collaboration among the units, and providing advantages for students. Disadvantages would include potential loss of the liberal art identity of the university, and a loss of unit autonomy. Participants identified barriers created by geography, structural differences, and cultural differences of the academic units. They recommended the use of workshops and collaborative projects to help develop more unity. They also recommend ways to improve the effectiveness of the current governance structure, but they did not want to create a university faculty senate. Policy implications for Baker University and similar higher education institutions are given.

Conflicting Institutional Logics and the Loose Coupling of

▼ This dissertation reports on an exploration
of the interaction of standardized, linear, mechanistic enterprise
information systems with the often pluralistic, nonlinear, organic
contexts into which they are introduced. This exploration involves
three independent studies: (1) a qualitative meta-analysis of
published, interpretive case studies on the adoption of enterprise
systems; (2) a study of conflicting institutional logics and
loose
coupling in the wake of NASA’s ERP implementation; and (3) a study
of the dynamics of this
loose coupling and related effects across
the four years post implementation. The goal of
the research is to theorize about the causes and effects of
loose
coupling between local practices and an enterprise system. Findings
indicate that in situations where the institutional logics
associated with incumbent practices conflict with the institutional
logics of the enterprise system, the result will likely involve
some form of
loose coupling between those practices and the system.
Local responses to the system are not uniform within organizations
nor within communities of practice, but instead appear to align
with society’s broader institutions that guide micro-level
behavior. Thus, the theoretical device of an institutional logic is
put forth to aid researchers in explaining regularities in adaptive
behavior associated with enterprise systems within institutionally
pluralistic organizations. This research also
finds that incidents of
loose coupling early in the implementation
tend stabilize over time into states of loosely coupled equilibrium
rather than into the tight alignment that is often assumed to be
necessary for system success. Thus, “stability” is found to be a
key objective relating to enterprise system implementation in
addition to the presumptive goals of integration and control. The
relationships between loosely coupled stability, integration, and
control are multifaceted across three levels of analysis: (1)
activities within processes; (2) overall processes; and (3) the
organizational level.
Loose coupling that undermines integration
and control associated with activities in an organizational process
can be vital to establishing the enterprise system stability. This
stability, in turn, may enable certain forms of integration and
control at an overall process level of analysis. Further, due in
part to the legitimizing influence that a stable enterprise system
affords, the tightly coupled enterprise system can
counter-intuitively be viewed as an enabler of NASA’s loosely
coupled organizational structures.

▼ Simulations play an integral role in the understanding and development of rotor- craft aeromechanics. Computational Fluid Dynamics coupled with Computational Structural Dynamics (CFD/CSD) offers an excellent approach to analyzing rotors. These methods have been traditionally “loosely-coupled” where data are exchanged periodically, motion is prescribed for CFD, and the updated loads have a static component for CSD. Loosely-coupled CFD/CSD assumes the solution to be periodic, which may not be true for some simulations. “Tightly-coupled” CFD/CSD, where loads and motion are exchanged at each time step, does not make this periodic assumption and opens up new avenues of simulation to research. A major drawback to tightly-coupled CFD/CSD is an increase in computational cost. Different approaches are explored to reduce this cost as well as examine numerical implications in solutions from tightly and loosely-coupled CFD/CSD. A trim methodology optimized for tightly-coupled simulations is developed and found to bring trim costs within parity of loosely-coupled CFD/CSD simulations. Aerodynamic loading is found to be nearly similar for fixed controls. However, the lead-lag blade motion is determined to contain a harmonic in the tightly-coupled analysis that is not an integer multiple of the rotor speed. A hybrid CFD/CSD methodology employing the use of a free-wake code to model the far-field effects of the rotor wake is developed to aid in computational cost reduction. Investigation of this approach reveals that computational costs may be reduced while preserving solution accuracy. This work’s contributions to the community include the development of a trim algorithm appropriate for use in tightly-coupled CFD/CSD simulations along with a detailed examination of the physics predicted by
loose and tight
coupling for quasi-steady level flight conditions. The influence of the wake in such cases is directly examined using a modular hybrid
coupling to a free-wake code that is capable of reduced cost computations.

▼ Arbetet med att stärka ett arbetsgivarvarumärkes attraktivitet, både internt och externt, det alltmer välbekanta begreppet “Employer branding”, är ett vanligt förekommande koncept i dagens organisationer. Syftet med studien är att försöka ta reda på vad fenomenet “Employer branding” är och hur organisationer kan bedriva arbetet med att göra sitt arbetsgivarvarumärket attraktiv på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Tieto, COWI och Klarna AB är de företag som deltar i studien. Begreppen legitimitet och löskoppling från den institutionella- och nyinstitutionella teorin kommer att ligga som teoretisk utgångspunkt för att besvara studiens frågeställningar och syfte. Den metod som har använts är en kvalitativ intervjustudie, där totalt åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer utifrån ett strategiskt urval har genomförts med de tre företagen. För att bearbeta materialet har transkriberingsmetoden använts där vi utgår från en deduktiv ansats och har kodat materialet efter på förhand formulerade begrepp som var ställda i relation till den teoretiska utgångspunkten. Det empiriska materialet visar att alla tre företagen är medvetna om både den interna och framförallt den externa sidan av Employer branding och påstår att de är aktiva i arbetet med att öka attraktiviteten internt inom organisationen såväl som externt.
The work with Employer branding, both external and internal, is a frequent used concept in organizations today. The purpose of our study is to try to find out what the phenomenon of “Employer branding” is and how organizations can pursue efforts to make its employer brand attractive on the Swedish labor market. Tieto, COWI and Klarna AB are the companies participating in our study. The terms legitimacy and loose coupling from the institutional- and new institutional theory is going to be our theoretical base to enable us to answer our questions and purpose of our study. The used method is a qualitative study, where a total of eight semi-structured interviews based on a strategic selection were carried out with the three companies. In order to process the material have transcription-method been used that is based on a deductive approach and the material has been coded after pre-formulated concepts that were made out in relation to the theoretical starting point. The empirical material indicates that all three companies are aware of both the internal and especially the external side of Employer branding and states that they are active in the work to increase attractiveness internally within the organization as well as the extern.

▼ Based on the limited outcomes and often failed implementation processes of annual employee surveys a new phenomenon for collecting people data has risen; the pulsed employee survey. This survey and its continuous way of measuring are by many providers and consultants stated to be an important tool that increases employee engagement. The phenomenon of the pulsed employee survey has so far received limited academic attention, despite its growing importance as a potential institutionalized practice. Therefore, this study aims at broadening the understanding of the phenomenon of the pulsed employee survey. How is it transformed into organizations during an implementation process and can the process be seen as coupled or decoupled from the institutionalized practice? Further, what explains the potential coupling or decoupling? To investigate this, a model based on decoupling theories by Bromley & Powell(2012) has been used through a qualitative case study. The result shows that, even though the surveys are implemented into the organizations, means-ends decoupling can be found, whichmay be explained by the complexity of what is measured as well as the multifaceted expectations and perceptions at different organizational levels.

▼ This work isolates the physics of aerodynamics and
structural dynamics from the helicopter rotor aeromechanics
problem, investigates them separately, identifies the
prediction deficiencies in
each, improves upon them, and couples them back
together. The objective is to develop
a comprehensive analysis capability for accurate and consistent
prediction of rotor vibratory loads in steady level flight. The rotor
vibratory
loads are the dominant source of helicopter
vibration. There are two critical vibration regimes for helicopters
in steady level
flight: (1) low speed transition and (2) high speed forward flight. The
mechanism of rotor vibration at low speed transition is well
understood - inter-twinning of blade tip vortices below the rotor disk. The
mechanism of rotor vibration at high speed is not clear. The focus in
this research is on high speed flight. The goal is to
understand the key mechanisms involved and accurately model them.
Measured lift, chord force, pitching
moment and damper force from the
UH-60A Flight Test Program are used to predict, validate and refine the
rotor structural dynamics. The prediction errors originate entirely
from structural modeling. Once validated,
the resultant blade deformations are used to predict and validate
aerodynamics.
Air loads are calculated using a table look up
based unsteady lifting-line model and compared with predictions from a
3-dimensional unsteady CFD model. Both Navier-Stokes and Euler predictions
are studied. By separating aerodynamics from structural dynamics, it
is established that the advancing blade lift phase problem and the problem of
vibratory air loads at high speed stem from inaccurate aerodynamic
modeling, not structural dynamic modeling. Vibratory lift at high speed is
caused by large elastic torsion deformations (-8 to -10 degrees near
the tip) driven by pitching moments and wake
interactions on the advancing blade.
The dominant phenomenon at the outboard stations (86.5% R to
99% R) is the elastic torsion.
Vibratory lift at these stations are dominantly 3/rev and
arise from 2/rev elastic torsion. At the inboard stations (67.5% R and
77.5% R), the vibratory lift is impulsive in nature and is not
captured by elastic torsion alone. An
accurate rotor wake model is necessary in addition to accurate elastic
torsion. Accurate elastic torsion requires accurate pitching
moments. Lifting-line models, with airfoil tables, unsteady aerodynamics, near
wake and far wake do not capture the unsteady transonic pitching moments at the
outboard stations (86.5% R to 99% R). A 3-dimensional CFD analyses,
both Navier-Stokes and Euler, significantly improve pitching moment
predictions at the outboard stations.
The 3D Navier-Stokes CFD analysis is then consistently coupled with a
rotor comprehensive analysis to improve prediction of rotor vibratory
loads at high speed.
The CFD-comprehensive code
coupling is achieved using a
loose coupling
methodology. The CFD analysis significantly
improves section pitching moment prediction near the blade tip.

▼ At the best of times, education policy implementation is a difficult and
uncertain process. Taking this as a point of departure, the researcher
advanced the hypothesis that education policy implementation in a society
in transition:
is accompanied by a fragmentation of the pre-transition coherence in
interpersonal relations among policy actors;
is affected by a heightening of value conflicts and the emergence of
competing interpretive schemes;
is influenced by the perceived self-interest of policy actors;
is affected by changing power relationships and structural
adjustments; and
reflects a general weakening of interpersonal, cultural, and
structural linkages that had evolved in pre-transition years.
The Indian education system in South Africa was studied as an exemplar
of a system located in a society in transition.
The data collated by means of three research strategies - historical report, questionnaire, and structured interview - gave strong support to
the hypothesis. In addition, they pointed to the significance of
variables such as policy content and policy quality, political interference and pressure, bias and favouritism among senior officials,
religious, sectional, and language loyalties of participants, and loss
of job satisfaction and morale among policy actors.
These findings were discussed against the background of relevant
literature. This concluded in the development_gf a theoretical model to
explain education policy implementation in a society in transition.
Basically, the model suggests that socio-political struggles in the
larger society tend. to be replicated in the micro-contexts of the education system, producing fundamental alterations in the interpersonal,
cultural, and structural aspects of the system, a general weakening of
system linkages, and a progressive de-
coupling of system components. All
these changes recursively impact on and are impacted on by policymaking
and policy implementation processes and outcomes. These impacts,
however, tend to occur in a non-standard, nonlinear manner. The
theoretical underpinnings of the model emerge from general systems
theory, modern social systems theory, chaos/ complexity theory, conflict
theory, structuration theory, organisation change theory, and loosely
coupled systems theory.
Finally, the study concludes with general propositions relating to
education policy implementation in a society in transition and a set of
research and management-oriented recommendations.

Loose Coupling and Defining Deviance Down: Correctional Officers’ Perceptions of Organizational Responses to Mental Health and Well-being.

▼ Correctional work is characterized by high rates of occupational stress, which can produce a plethora of negative outcomes for the officers employed within such institutions. The present study examines Canadian provincial correctional officers’ perceptions of how occupational stress is created within the context of their employment. Through in-depth interviews with 11 correctional officers, I examine the political, organizational, and cultural factors that are perceived to negatively affect employee stress and well-being. From this analysis, I present three principal arguments. First, I uncover how correctional officers perceive ministerial policies to be loosely coupled from frontline practices. I argue that this loose coupling can create occupational stress, as correctional officers may experience frustration in navigating daily tasks in accordance with orders that they perceive to be irrelevant or impractical. Second, I argue that occupational stress that is connected to ministerial policies can be further amplified by institutional managers, as ministry guidelines are enforced within institutional operations. Further, I contend that officers perceive institutional supervisors to normalize traumatic and stressful events that occur in the line of duty. Third, I examine how the occupational culture exhibited within correctional work, which reflects notions of hegemonic masculinity, maintains the potential to trivialize occupational stress. I argue that this occupational culture places emphasis on the adoption of physical, psychological, and emotional strength, which may lead officers to perceive colleagues struggling with occupational stress or mental health concerns in a negative manner.

▼ This study develops and applies integrated hydrologic-economic optimization modeling for evaluating costs effectiveness of beneficial management practices (BMPs) in agricultural watersheds. The study has three components. Firstly, it defines agriculture as a social-natural system, formulates the system functions, and develops theoretical and empirical frameworks for integrated hydrologic-economic modeling for evaluating BMP cost effectiveness and optimal placement in agricultural watersheds. The integrated modeling contributes to advancing the methodology for watershed-based BMP assessment and improving our understanding on spatial tradeoffs of BMP costs and benefits. Secondly, the study develops a user friendly interface for the integrated modeling as an open-source Whitebox GIS plug-in. The interface facilitates the use of the complex integrated modeling for conducting watershed-based BMP assessment by scientists and conservation managers. Finally, the study empirically applies the integrated modeling to produce new information on the cost effectiveness of representative agricultural BMPs including zero tillage, optimium fertilizer application rates, and red clover as a cover crop in the Gully Creek watershed of southwestern Ontario. The simulation results show that zero tillage reduces the sediment and nitrogen loads by 45% and 43%, respectively, costing the farmers about 2% of the net return. Applying the practice to corn sown after soybeans appears to be profitable. Application of the optimum fertilizer application rates, red clover as a cover crop BMPs, and multiple BMPs are cost-effective in reducing sediment and nutrient loads. Simulation of optimal BMP allocations in the watershed produces several cost-effective BMP policies
subject to environmental targets. It also shows that the magnitude of BMP cost depends on the number of available BMP alternatives. The functional relationships between BMP costs and water quality benefits depend on the type of pollutant and the level of environmental target. A piecewise function with steep, moderate, and flat regions better describes the relationships and produces the highest fit. This finding extends our understanding of the BMP cost benefit relationships which are considered to be generally monotonic.
