    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: The development of information technologies has led to the restructuringof the boundaries within and between organizations in a number of areasof social life. Examines the impact of a specific form of informationtechnology being introduced in the field of punishment and control– the electronic monitoring of sentenced offenders. Electronicsurveillance and home imprisonment are features of the currentrestructuring of the boundaries between prison, work and family life. Itis both the physical and the cultural boundaries between "home" and"prison" that are being readjusted. Over the past 200 years these twospheres of social life have been constructed around incompatible sets ofvalues. However the complex contradictions involved in making theboundaries between these two spheres more permeable have not been fullyexplored in current penal discourses.

    Notizen: Theoretical constructs serve important roles in facilitating informationand knowledge flows among, between and within information systemsresearchers and practitioners. In order for the benefits of constructsto be fully exploited, they must be appropriately applied andoperationalized. Describes a controlled field study, examining users'satisfaction with a decision support system, undertaken to point out thedangers of misapplying constructs and their measurement scales.Particular consideration is given to the risks associated with the useof general instruments in situations where more narrowly focused andcontext-specific instruments are preferred.

    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: The difficulties in designing and implementing successful technologicalsystems which support business objectives, good work practices and highquality outcomes are well known. Discusses the "modernisation" of theAustralian Taxation Office - an ambitious ten-year programme oforganizational and tech-nological change - which has its origins in theneed for re-equipment and the recognition that the new systems mustsupport the way in which the Taxation Office would work in the future.Review of the programme mid-term shows considerable success, but alsoareas where it has been difficult to achieve some of the aims. In spiteof the participatory framework, participants tend to feel thattechnology has driven the process, rather than business or workplacerequirements. In particular, some initiatives have impacted negativelyon workers, and it has been difficult to integrate the implementation ofnew systems with the design of better work practices. Recognition ofthese problems has encouraged the development of new approaches to workand systems design, and considerable further organizational andstructural change.

    Human Identification in Information Systems: Management Challenges and Public Policy Issues (1994)

    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Many information systems involve data about people. In order reliably toassociate data with particular individuals, it is necessary that aneffective and efficient identification scheme be established andmaintained. There is remarkably little in the information technologyliterature concerning human identification. Seeks to overcome thatdeficiency by undertaking a survey of human identity and humanidentification. Discusses techniques including names, codes,knowledge-based and token-based identification, and biometrics.Identifies the key challenge to management as being to devise a schemewhich is practicable and economic, and of sufficiently high integrity toaddress the risks the organization confronts in its dealings withpeople. Proposes that much greater use be made of schemes which aredesigned to afford people anonymity, or which enable them to usemultiple identities or pseudonyms, while at the same time protecting theorganization's own interest. Describes multi-purpose and inhabitantregistration schemes, and notes the recurrence of proposals to implementand extend them. Identifies public policy issues. Of especial concern isthe threat to personal privacy that the general-purpose use of aninhabitant registrant scheme represents. Speculates that, where suchschemes are pursued energetically, the reaction may be strong enough tothreaten the social fabric.

    Social Choice about Privacy: Intelligent Vehicle-highway Systems in the United States (1994)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 7 (1994), S. 63-90 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845

    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Broad coalitions of companies, governments, and research institutions inseveral countries are currently designing massive electronicinfrastructures for their roadways. Known collectively as intelligentvehicle-highway systems (IVHS), these technologies are intended to easetoll collection and commercial vehicle regulation, provide drivers withroute and traffic information, improve safety and ultimately supportfully automated vehicles. Although many aspects of IVHS are uncertain,some proposed designs require the system to collect vast amounts of dataon individuals' travel patterns, thus raising the potential for severeinvasions of privacy. To make social choices about IVHS, it is necessaryto reason about potentials for authoritarian uses of an IVHSinfrastructure in the hypothetical future. Yet such reasoning isdifficult, often veering towards Utopian or dystopian extremes. To helpanchor the privacy debate, places IVHS privacy concerns in aninstitutional context, offering conceptual frameworks to discuss thepotential interactions between IVHS technologies and the computer designprofession, standards-setting bodies, marketing organizations, the legalsystem and government administrative agencies.

    Notizen: Examines the power-related properties of professional and organizationalsystems and considers their influence on reactions to sexual harassment.It is argued that, when the socio-cultural power model of male dominanceoperates within pluralistic/political professional and organizationalsystems, these systems can become breeding-grounds for sexual harassmentbehaviours that are tolerated rather than told on. A contrast betweencareers within systems and less systems bound jobs illustrates theinfluence of context on decisions to tell or tolerate.

    Thema: Sociologie , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Sets out to look at the career experiences of women in personnel. Asurvey was undertaken of 149 women studying for examinations leading tomembership of the Institute of Personnel Management. The results showthat the issues facing women in personnel were the same as those facingother women in organizations. Women in personnel face a glass ceilingaround Personnel Officer level. In addition, however, these womenidentified that the personnel role often lacked status in organizationsand that the qualities they possessed, which had attracted them into thepersonnel profession, were not particularly valued in organizations.However, with the take-up of human resource policies and the emphasis on"people skills" women in personnel could be in a key position tocapitalize on the changing needs of organizations and play an importantrole in the process. In order to ensure that women in personnel haveequality of opportunity, there is a need for positive action from thetop of organizations, from the Institute of Personnel Management andfrom women in personnel themselves.

    Notizen: Reports the findings of a combined survey of 42 mixed retailers, using apostal questionnaire and personal interviews solicited from 16companies. Researchers sought information regarding the numbers of womenholding senior management positions in the responding retailers and theapproach and attitude of retail companies to the advancement of women.Results reveal no shortage of goodwill towards the provision of equalopportunities for women, with many responding companies activelypursuing policies aimed at improving the gender balance of theirworkforce. Six senior women interviewees confirmed that workingconditions in retail were a factor in the statistics, but they suggestedthat negative attitudes from staff and customers also play a part. Theisolation of lone senior women was confirmed by personal interviews, andin-company mentors were identified as a possible help in that regard.The problem of balancing a family and career remains while storemanagers are believed to be omnipresent.

    Notizen: Very little Australian literature looks at women as leaders ineducation. Using theoretical viewpoints emerging out of a biographicaland historical analysis, it is possible to construct a more inclusivemodel of leadership which includes both men and women in the past.Mapping such a process historically and biographically can give adetailed assessment of the social, historical and political dimensionsof particular women leaders' lives and also develop a theoreticalframework, which gives equal status to the leadership experiences morecommon to women. Presents a historical narrative where recording livesraises critical questions at the same time as it unearths new evidenceof the history of women educationists in Australia.

    Details
    ISSN: 0964-9425
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Sociologie , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Introduces the concept of strategic decision making as a key managementrole and the lack of women's involvement in this role as a means forunderstanding the organizational barriers faced by women in moderntimes. Studies strongly suggest that the shortage of women managers instrategic decision-making positions is due to the barriers they facewithin organizations. Furthermore, that these barriers emerge as a primefactor for limiting their effectiveness. Despite the increasing numberof women working in organizations, they still remain a minority or mere"tokens" when it comes to senior or strategic decision-making positions inmost organizations. Describes some of these barriers and suggests theway forward.

    Thema: Informatik , Sociologie
    Notizen: Computer matching is a mass surveillance technique involving thecomparison of data about many people, which have been acquired frommultiple sources. Its use offers potential benefits, particularlyfinancial savings. It is also error-prone, and its power results inthreats to established patterns and values. The imperatives ofefficiency and equity demand that computer matching be used, and theinformation privacy interest demands that it be used only wherejustified, and be subjected to effective controls. Provides backgroundto this important technique, including its development and applicationin the USA and in Australia, and a detailed technical description.Contends that the technique, its use, and controls over its use are veryimportant issues which demand research. Computing, telecommunicationsand robotics artefacts which have the capacity to change societyradically need to be subjected to early and careful analysis, not onlyby sociologists, lawyers and philosophers, but also by informationtechnologists themselves.

    Notizen: At one level, the function of a marketplace is to enable sellers andbuyers to meet, to agree to terms and conditions, and effect contracts.At another level, however, a marketplace is a mechanism for ensuringthat information which might affect the terms and conditions is readilyavailable to all participants, so that the pricing for sales will not beunduly influenced by participants with special information or otheradvantages, but rather will approach the theoretical price at which themarket will settle. Information technology is increasingly being appliedto support the exchange of goods and services. It may be used simply toautomate existing practices. Alternatively, the introduction oftechnology into the market may provide an opportunity to rationalize thearrangements. In some instances, however, the implementation of IT maybe grasped as a strategic weapon, by a buyer, a seller, or by anorganization which provides marketplace services to buyers and sellers.Considers another kind of strategic use of IT in relation tomarketplaces. This is the enforcement of fairness in the setting ofprices, by drawing participants into a marketplace in which keydifferences in market power are equalized. Evaluates the outcomes of anelectronic exchange supporting trading in chilled and frozen meat.

    Notizen: The evolution of information technology is likely to result in intimateinterdependence between humans and technology. This fusion has beencharacterized in popular science fiction as chip implantation. It is,however, more likely to take the form of biometric identification usingsuch technologies as fingerprints, hand geometry and retina scanning.Some applications of biometric identification technology are nowcost-effective, reliable and highly accurate. As a result, biometricsystems are being developed in many countries for such purposes associal security entitlement, payments, immigration control and electionmanagement. Whether or not biometry delivers on its promise ofhigh-quality identification, it will imperil individual autonomy.Widespread application of the technologies would conflict withcontemporary values, and result in a class of outcasts.

Findings suggest that the standard "5 C" model for assessing theviability of loan applications does not meet the needs of the presentbusiness environment. Women business owners may be at a disadvantagewhen applying for a business loan as the supposedly "objective" criteriaare applied in a "subjective" manner to the detriment of femaleentrepreneurs. Presents information on the characteristics of micro-loanprogrammes and proposes a market approach to micro-loan practices thatis better adapted to changing finance opportunities.

Although gender stereotyping has nottraditionally been considered as a strategic business issue within MBAprogrammes, this topic was considered a critical component of thedevelopment of leadership and management skills, and a fundamentalelement in the drive towards greater organizational effectiveness. Indeveloping the unit, the researchers identified both a reluctance andlack of preparedness on the part of both academics and industrymanagement to deal with these issues. The resulting package thereforerecognizes the sensitivities associated with the subject, and thedifficulties of addressing gender issues in management. It also offers arange of delivery options, and has potential for uptake in countriesother than Australia. Briefly describes the origins, focus and contentof the package produced for the task force in 1994, and discusses theimplications of the material for the career development of womenmanagers.

    Notizen: The growth of women in management positions has largely been at juniorlevels. This has been particularly so within the education sector, wherethe growth in the number of women employed has had little impact on theproportion of women in senior positions. One explanation for the lack ofwomen in senior management positions has been the male stereotyping ofthe manager role. Reports on a survey, using the Schein DescriptiveIndex, which was carried out among academics in 19 UK business schoolsor management departments of the new universities which showed differentpatterns of stereotyping from that found among managers in otherorganizations. Male academics at lower levels did not stereotype themanager role at all, but those in senior positions stereotyped themanager role as male. Among the female academics the results showed noassociation between the characteristics of successful managers and thoseof women in general, but some association between the characteristics ofmanagers and men in general.

    Notizen: A number of articles have appeared in the Harvard Business Review(HBR) in recent years in which reference is made to the traditional viewthat male = manager, and how this has worked against women makinginroads into senior management positions. The HBR often interspersescartoons among the articles - cartoons which appear to perpetuate themale-as-manager norm. The results of a content analysis of the cartoonsappearing in the HBR over the five-year period, 1988-1992 are presented.The content analysis suggests women appear as marginal players in thecartoon images of the organizational world. Not only do women appear insubstantially fewer cartoons than men, there is also a wide divergencein how men and women are portrayed. The most common representations ofwomen are as wife or secretary, although there is the occasional nurse,air hostess and fortune-teller! The images of men, however, areoverwhelmingly associated with paid work. The images of women and menportrayed in the HBR perpetuate and reinforce the expectation that"male = manager". It may be that such cartoons can be considered trivialon their own, but cumulatively they can play a powerful role in definingthe "appropriate" person for the manager's job.

    Notizen: Presents evidence from a research study into the impact of gender onmanagement styles, using repertory grid as a methodology. Generalizeddifferences were identified in the approaches of women and men todefinition of the job, overall style, decision making and interpersonalrelationships. Men had greater visibility to other men, while a broaderinsight was offered by women interviewees into the women managers'approaches. In the context of patriarchal power relations, in whichmasculinity is defined as opposite and superior to femininity, feminineworking styles are perceived as less effective in organizations, whilemasculine attributes tend to be regarded as normatively the way tomanage. Such values can imbue recruitment, selection and developmentpractices with gender bias. Recent management and leadership theory hasadvocated the value of a people-centred approach, which traditionallyand stereotypically has been associated with women. This might appear toopen up opportunity for women. Concludes that there is a need to bealert to a redefinition of patriarchal relations as men seek to maintainstatus.

Examinesthe "cultural dilemma" that women managers present from organizational,managerial and personal perspectives. It is felt that women can assisttheir situation by altering their mode of operation from a "victim"mentality to one of a "power" mentality: by making up their minds whetherthey want to "share" power or get the male managerial culture to"yield" power; by making a concerted effort to close the nexus on theeconomic front; by educating chief executive officers as to imperativefor cultural change; and by both using and supporting various governmentagencies and Equal Employment Opportunity Officers.

    Notizen: As the workforce evolves in the twenty-first century, more women areentering higher-level management positions. The traditional hierarchicalstructure associated with male-dominated management ranks is inadequateto accommodate properly this trend. Looks at alternative managementstructure theories which support the view of a genderless managementstructure. Recommends that managers should begin to adopt an androgynousstyle which will not only foster a blend of so-called masculine andfeminine behaviours, but also lead to better managers.

    Notizen: The question of how to enable disabled and disadvantaged people viainformation technology (IT) represents one of the challenges facing mostdeveloping countries in the coming decade. Examines the feasibility of,and argues for, an approach to health and welfare promotion centred onthe enabling potential of IT. Describes the contextual specificity ofthe Asian (which is a highly differentiated) experience in state welfareand health provision. Based on some comparative findings and projectedscenarios in East Asian countries, explores the challenge andopportunity for IT in this enabling process. The IT-based promotionalstrategies are outlined and discussed; it is argued that theeffectiveness of IT applications in this process is contingent on thevariables embedded in the technology--the risks associated withtechnological development as well as the underlying socio-politicalstructure. Ends with remarks on the role of IT in global welfare andhealth promotion in the 1990s.

Many of these technologies involvesurveillance of the location and behaviour of identified vehicles and/orpeople, and the collation of such data for further use. These and otheraspects of IVHS technologies raise concerns among the community, andhave delayed the adoption of some systems. Outlines IVHS systems, andconsiders strategies for their introduction. The ownership and use ofdata collected in the course of IVHS operations is shown to presentopportunities relating to revenue-collection and law-enforcement, on theone hand, and public acceptability problems, on the other. There aregrowing links with large-scale data transmission facilities such as theUS National Information Initiative (NII) and the equivalent massiveinteractive data networks developing elsewhere. Major errors in theimplementation of early elements of IVHS may make it extremely difficultto deploy further elements. Argues that adoption of a number ofprinciples could safeguard the potential benefits at an acceptablesocial cost.

    Notizen: Women came into the Australian banking industry to "fill in" for men andwere left in lower grade, non-career jobs on their return. For themajority of women, little has changed with respect to their status inthe industry. They outnumber men in lower level clerical grades andperform the bulk of part-time work. Very few women remain in theindustry for a significant length of time, contributing to theirunder-representation in management. Managers and women themselves needto be aware of the structural, attitudinal, and social barriers whicheffectively disadvantage full-time and part-time women in the branchbanking system so that affirmative action programmes can be correctlyfocused. Makes a number of recommendations to address these problems.

    Notizen: Compares exporting and non-exporting female entrepreneurs regardingtheir information about export markets, their perceptions of theusefulness of export market information and the helpfulness ofgovernment export stimulation programmes. Identifies the formats whichwomen entrepreneurs believe to be most helpful in obtaining informationabout exporting their products and services. Results suggest that, inNew Brunswick, the majority of female entrepreneurs do not export theirproducts and services. Furthermore, they do not plan to enter the exportmarket in the future. Their businesses, are for the most part, small,non-technology-based, labour intensive, or cottage-craft industries.They are relatively new, with few employees, and have low annual salesrevenues. However, they also have low overhead expenses and the ownershave the freedom to co-ordinate their business activities around theirfamily life and responsibilities. These findings suggest that, ratherthan export stimulation programmes, the majority of female entrepreneursin New Brunswick are more interested in and would benefit more, at thistime, from product or service quality improvement programmes. They wantto learn more about the characteristics of their local domestic marketin order to penetrate those markets further. Likewise, most female-owned(non-exporting) businesses in New Brunswick need to be brought to alevel of "export readiness". Finally, those few female entrepreneurs whoare exporting need access to market intelligence, information on how toimprove their exporting strategies and tactics, and on how to maintainthe competitive edge in world markets.

    Notizen: Addresses the general issue of the effective management of publicrelief programmes. Proposes that in the search for an appropriateguiding framework, public administrators could overcome some of theperennial problems stemming from lack of management continuity betweenad hoc programmes by adopting the so-called "privatizationparadigm". Develops a comparative analysis based on the Bureau ofIndian Affairs' (USA) recent effort to assist American Indians start andmaintain viable business ventures. Argues that the substantialnon-securing management costs of business relief programmes could bereduced if administrators applied management models provided byprivatization theory to the direction of their programmes.

    Notizen: There is great emphasis in local authorities for strategydevelopment to reflect the characteristics and views of a localpopulace. Initiating research which effectively supports strategydevelopment is problematic, as the gaps in strategists' knowledge of apopulace are not self-evident. Examines the problems of initiatingeffective research which can support strategy development, and thebarriers existing in local authorities which can prevent the successfuldevelopment of research. Presents a format for a research brief that isseen as a means to develop negotiations between the strategist and theresearcher. The brief is seen as a means to test the nature of skills inproblem diagnosis and data interpretation of the researcher, in additionto their skills of measurement. It is a test of what the researcher canbring to the demanding tasks of strategy development.

    Notizen: Briefly outlines recent developments in the commercialization ofthe public sector at the federal level of government in Australia. Aftersix years of planning and implementation, debate continues over whetherthe dramatic changes in practice are achieving the proclaimed ends ofenhanced efficiency, economy and effectiveness or are merely subvertingequity and the once considered essential traditions associated withWestminster-derived public administration. The theoretical, ideologicaland epistemological problems associated with economics being the drivingintellectual academic discipline for commercialization are confronted.Within the context of full privatization in Australia yet to occur,organizational development, change and management education and trainingassociated with the commercialization of public agencies are addressedin detail. Discusses a human resource development agenda and amanagement educator's cognitive map for facilitating change processesassociated with widespread drives for commercialization. Externaltendering for management education and management training curriculumemerges as a novel development in Australian public managements' searchfor quantifiable behavioural outcomes.

    Notizen: Reports the results of a study carried out in Tanzanian publictextile manufacturing firms. The purpose was to examine the rolesperformed by middle and senior managers to enable them to carry outtheir jobs efficiently and effectively. In addition, the studyconcentrated on manufacturing management practices and the relationshipbetween managers and subordinates (employees). It was found that middlemanagers have more practical vision for the future than top (senior)managers. The majority of middle managers, though they perform strategicfunctions in the organization, do not have as much influence to effectchanges as do top managers However, current fundamental problems need tobe at least partly solved before any particular management technique canbe expected to work well. Where management techniques are applied, theyneed to start with basic information and reporting before any moreadvanced methods can be introduced. Proposes recommendations toalleviate some of the problems.

    Notizen: Provides a framework for analysing and accomplishing programmeobjectives, both in the public and private sectors. The frameworkprovokes analysis beginning from what is the business of an agency todetermining the appropriate mix of strategies for accomplishingprogramme objectives. The framework consists of seven criticalcomponents: evaluating the business of the agency; ascertaining theauthority inherent in an office; understanding the operating environment– both the political and the non-political environment; conductinginventory of resources to determine what is needed; selecting theappropriate techniques to accomplish the objectives; and finallyevaluating the outcome. To demonstrate the application, two cases fromthe American political system were analysed. In analysing the caseexamples, it became apparent that the administrator who understood hismandate and the operating environment invariably developed theappropriate mix of strategies needed to accomplish programme objectives.On the other hand, the administrator who lacked reasonable appreciationof the operating environment, but seemed to understand only his mandate,had trouble developing any effective stratagems for accomplishingprogramme objectives.

    Notizen: State-Industry interface has always been a subject of debatebecause the role of the state in relation to industry depends on theeconomic philosophy adopted by a country. The two extreme economicphilosophies, capitalism and socialism, have their own limitations. OnceWinston Churchill observed: "Capitalism is unequally shared wealthwhile Socialism is equally distributed poverty". India hasfollowed the path of a "mixed economy" which thrives on theco-existence of public and private sectors. The joint sector whichprovides a compromise between public and private sectors has been asubject of debate in the country since the early 1970s. Today when theIndian economy is in transition there is a need to make a freshassessment of the joint sector. The basic idea underlying the concept isa combination of joint ownership, joint control and professionalmanagement. It is a pattern wherein the Government, through itsIndustrial Development Corporation (IDC), holds 26 per cent of equitycapital, the private sector partner holds 25 per cent and the remaining49 per cent is meant for the public. In fact, the joint sector is theapplication of the concept of a mixed economy at the micro level.

    Towards an Enhanced Community Service Obligation Process (1994)

    Thema: Politikwissenschaft , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Governments have overspent. In recent times the drive for economicrecovery partly brought about by this overspending has seen governmentsscreening entire portfolios of expenditure to see what they can reduceor terminate. The review process concerns the identification of goodsand services which are essential to the community and on which there isan obligation for the government to fund these projects. These goods andservices have been labelled Community Service Obligations (CSOs). ValidCSOs are being examined for funding while non-valid CSOs are beingexamined for their potential as candidates for funding termination.Although the principles of Community Service Obligations (CSOs) havebeen widely applied within various public sector organizations, there isa diversity of definition and application. This can be attributed, atleast in part, to historical evolution. However, with a more formalapproach to the role and funding of CSOs, it is apparent that there is adiversity of perception from government to government as to how CSOs areidentified and funded. This diversity is explored and compared to theproposed CSO criteria currently being examined by the QueenslandGovernment Treasury. These definitions and guidelines in practice arenot wrong but produce some distortions brought about by applying limitedcriteria in the CSO identification and implementation process. Theselimitations are discussed with reference to case studies drawn from theorganizational structure of the Queensland Department of PrimaryIndustries and from elsewhere. Focuses in particular on how the processof developing operational strategies can be limited in some instances bythe exclusion from, or at least minimal input from, either the communityor the line department involved. By taking the goals of equity, merit,effectiveness and efficiency of delivery of CSO products and services inQueensland, an improved process is proposed.

Re-assesses Nigeria's idea ofthree-tier federalism both as a theory of federal organization and as apolicy reform. Reviews the different definitions of "tieredfederalism" and attempts to synthesize them into a coherent idea.Shows that three-tier federalism is impossible to define in a consistentmanner. Proceeds from this to argue that its so-called successes are incentralizing the Nigerian state rather than in furthering the idea oflocal governance.

    Notizen: Examines recent reforms of the UK's National Health Service (NHS),and explores the pressures for change in the pursuit of an efficient NHSand the conflicts which this causes in an organization which was basedon the aim of equity. In particular, addresses the "falserevolutions" of managerial change introduced after the GriffithsReport (1983) and the accounting changes introduced in the wake of theGriffiths proposals. Evidence shows that these intended revolutions werelimited in impact. The result of these failures has been theintroduction of the "real revolution" - the internalmarket in health care. This is a radical change in both the NHSmanagement arrangements and in service delivery, with the division ofthe NHS into purchasers (health authorities and GP fund holders) andproviders (hospital and community services, whether provided by private,voluntary or state-owned facilities).

    Notizen: With public services operating as monopolies, dissatisfied userscannot exit from the relation without changing patronage. Apart fromexit from the region, voicing their dissatisfaction in order toinfluence the service offer becomes the only alternative. Industries andcompanies may be classified as customer oriented if they marketdifferentiated products and services reflecting heterogeneous customerpreferences. Customer satisfaction is influenced by expectations andperceived service quality. Degree of customer satisfaction and loyaltyconsequently becomes an indication of customer orientation. Reports onan empirical study of 100 business executives' degree of satisfactionwith local governments' services in the capital of Norway. Loyalty,defined as willingness to maintain present location of business, isbelieved to be influenced by satisfaction. The results from the studyconfirm low satisfaction scores. However, support for positivecorrelation between satisfaction and loyalty was not found. Reputationcorrelated with loyalty and satisfaction. Improvements in customers'perception of service quality, government's reputation and professionalhandling of customer voice, will influence customer satisfaction andloyalty. Improving service quality as perceived by the users through thedifferentiating of the offer, and improving reputation, are themanagerial implications of this study in order for government to improveits performance, i.e. increased user satisfaction and loyalty.

    Thema: Politikwissenschaft , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: The debate on the public sector has been central in structuraladjustment programmes applied in developing countries during recentyears. The common grounds of the discussion have been the size of thepublic sector, its role and its efficiency in delivering services. Thecommon criticisms of the 1980s are that the public sector is too big,overstaffed and inefficient. Examines these issues under a long-termperspective. Finds that at the aggregated level there is no clear-cutevidence to support those criticisms of the size of the public sector indeveloping countries. Compared with industrialized countries, there isno particular evidence of the public sector being too big in thedeveloping world. However, it appears that the sequence of theadjustment process has negatively affected the performance of importantparts of the public sector by distorting the proportion of wage andnon-wage expenditures, disregarding their complementarity. Theconsequent imbalance between inputs and employment has resulted inpractical overstaffing.

    Notizen: A survey of Scottish local government IT managers confirms theexistence of systems allowing modern decision support systems (DSS) tobe successfully exploited. Extensive in-house software exists acrossdepartmental functions indicating significant internal expertise. IT useis inversely related to managerial level, with the majority of userslocated in the central services and housing functions. The traditionalsupporting role of information systems and technology (IS/T) is changingas compulsory competitive tendering (CCT) is applied to the IS/Tfunction itself. Considerable uncertainty surrounds decision making inIS/T as a result of proposed structural change to unitary authorities.

    Notizen: Most analytical techniques assign no weight to political factorseven though they may have the strongest explanatory power of allvariables considered. As they are generally practised, these techniqueshave the extraordinary deficiency of obscuring the problem of conflictof multiple interests. It is assumed that incorporating political valuesand weights would destroy the essential objectivity of analysis. Thisargument ignores the fact that policy analysis must be made relevant tothe political process and that this relevance can be achieved in amanner which does not strip it of its potential value to the decisionmakers, but may even enhance it. Develops some possible methods ofincorporating political feasibility into evaluation.

    Demystifying Privatization in Developing Countries (1994)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of public sector management 7 (1994), S. 44-55

    ISSN: 0951-3558
    Quelle: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Thema: Politikwissenschaft , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: State intervention is needed to dismantle the protective regime of"government failure" and expose the developing economies tothe new rigour of global competition and technological advancement. Inaddition to standing the test of welfare consequences, a developingcountry's agenda for privatization includes restructuring, reform,commercialization, management-cum-technology contracts for publicenterprises and their leasing - prior to divestiture, jointventure, hire purchase and disinvestment of minority, majority or fullshareholding through public offer or private sale. The backward andforward linkages, the institutional framework, the pace and sequence,planning and preparation and financing of privatization, withtransparency of procedure, are equally important preconditions foravoiding corruption and ensuring efficiency. Divestiture without reformcan be counter-productive. Divestiture without private sectordevelopment can remain "stillborn".

    New Developments in Performance Measures of Public Programmes (1994)

    Notizen: Headlines on all levels of government speak of the pending crisisin public sector services: expect to pay more for less. Budget deficit,once only a concern of the federal level, is a worry in state capitalsand municipalities. Additionally, an ever-looming question at this timeof economic reality is: are we getting all the government for which weare paying? This discussion of new developments in performance measuresof public programmes covers the causes for the increased concern forpublic sector productivity. Gives examples of performance measuresattempted on the state and local levels. Also analyses a method tocompute efficient versus inefficient performance. Lastly, in an effortto introduce competition and force performance measurement, there is amove to convert many services to private sector contractors. Even publicschool children would be allowed to choose between public or privateinstruction if the "choice" initiative gains steam andbecomes law. The key to this challenge to the public sector ismeaningful measurements of performance and taking appropriate action.

    Costing and Pricing of Police Services (1994)
    Bingley : Emerald

    ISSN: 0951-3558

    Thema: Politikwissenschaft , Wirtschaftswissenschaften
    Notizen: Examines the principles which underlie the costing of policeservices when these services do not fit the rubric of being purely"public" goods. In such instances, it is necessary todetermine a unit cost for charging a user fee. As the unit price(marginal cost) of the goods is charged, either across the agency or tooutsiders who purchase the service, efficiency in terms of appropriateallocation of resources is enhanced. Also, the police board is then in abetter position to argue for funding for those services which contain agreater degree of "publicness", since the benefits of theseremaining police services clearly have some element of indivisibility,and thus benefit society rather than individuals.
