A lean tudás átadásának gyakorlatai multinacionális hálózatokban

A cikk azt vizsgálja, hogyan áramoltatják a lean menedzsmenttel kapcsolatos tudást a multinacionális vállalatok hálózataikban, azaz a vállalati központ és az egyes leányvállalatok között, illetve a leányvállalatok egymás között. Mivel a lean tudás megosztásával kapcsolatos irodalom még gyerekcipőben jár, kutatási módszerként az esettanulmány-alapú kutatást választották a szerzők. 12 interjú alapján három leányvállalatnál készítettek esettanulmányt. Feltáró kutatásukban 13 tudásmegosztási gyakorlatot azonosítottak. A megosztott tudás jellege, az érintettek és a megosztás gyakorisága alapján osztályozták őket. Kutatásuk rámutat arra, hogy a felső vezetők bevonása a lean tudás megosztásába rendkívül fontos. Ezek a vezetők egyfajta információs ügynök szerepet játszanak (gyűjtik és megosztják a jó gyakorlatokkal kapcsolatos információkat) és iránymutatást adnak a leányvállalati szintű lean erőfeszítéseknek. Kutatásuk további eredménye, hogy a lean fejlődése korántsem egyenes vonalú. A lean hálózati szintű egységes értelmezésének kialakítása alapvető ebben a fejlődési folyamatban. A globális lean tudásközpontnak döntő szerepe van az egységes értelmezési keret kialakításában.

A munkaelégedettség Herzberg-modelljének továbbfejlesztése a Frissdiplomások 2011-2014 adatbázisok alapján

A munkahelyi teljesítmény növelése, az ahhoz kötődő tényezők megfelelő mederbe terelésének kérdésköre végig követte a menedzsment kialakulását és fejlődését. A munkahelyi motiváció egyértelműen fontos a magyar menedzsmentirodalmon belül is, jelen tanulmányban egy speciális helyzetben lévő csoportot, a frissdiplomásokat helyezte vizsgálata fókuszába a szerző. Az ő esetükben kritikus, hogy milyen körülmények között lépnek ki a munkaerő-piacra, így azt a kérdést vizsgálta, hogyan jelentkezik náluk a motiváció manifesztációjaként a munkaelégedettség hatása. A motivációs elméletek áttekintése után Herzberg kéttényezős modelljét választotta ki, amelyben az elégedettséget okozó és az elégedetlenséget megszüntető motivátor- és higiénés tényezőkre vezette vissza a munkahelyi elégedettséget. A Diplomás Pályakövető Rendszer Frissdiplomások 2011-2014-es adatbázisban egyértelműen azonosította ezeket a faktorokat, és további kategorizálás révén MH, M, H és DeMH-vezérelt csoportokat hozott létre. A felbontás igazolásaként a munkával kapcsolatos tényezőkön vizsgálta meg a jellemzőiket, az eredmények alapján átfogóbb képet kaphat az olvasó a belső elvárásoknak megfelelő munkaerő-piaci életút megvalósításához szükséges tényezőkről és a tanulmányokon túltekintő tevékenységekről.

Estratégias de educação sustentável e gestão de pessoas: novos rumos?

Neste artigo buscou-se compreender se as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), nos cursos de Administração que priorizam a educação sustentável de modo compatível aos Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), tornaram seus alunos candidatos potenciais nos processos de recrutamento e seleção em empresas brasileiras. A base teórica alicerçou-se em Boyatzis e Dutra. A metodologia é de caráter exploratório - descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados demonstram que a maioria das empresas, apesar de considerarem fundamental o conhecimento dos candidatos sobre educação sustentável, ainda não utiliza esse critério nos processos de recrutamento, seleção e desenvolvimento de carreira, em virtude do desconhecimento em relação ao esforço que as IES vêm realizando juntamente à rede PRME.

Un aporte a la comprensión de las estrategias emergentes en las organizaciones a través del concepto de improvisación y la metáfora musical

Este trabajo se inscribe en uno de los grandes campos de los estudios organizacionales: la estrategia. La perspectiva clásica en este campo promovió la idea de que proyectarse hacia el futuro implica diseñar un plan (una serie de acciones deliberadas). Avances posteriores mostraron que la estrategia podía ser comprendida de otras formas. Sin embargo, la evolución del campo privilegió en alguna medida la mirada clásica estableciendo, por ejemplo, múltiples modelos para ‘formular’ una estrategia, pero dejando en segundo lugar la manera en la que esta puede ‘emerger’. El propósito de esta investigación es, entonces, aportar al actual nivel de comprensión respecto a las estrategias emergentes en las organizaciones. Para hacerlo, se consideró un concepto opuesto —aunque complementario— al de ‘planeación’ y, de hecho, muy cercano en su naturaleza a ese tipo de estrategias: la improvisación. Dado que este se ha nutrido de valiosos aportes del mundo de la música, se acudió al saber propio de este dominio, recurriendo al uso de ‘la metáfora’ como recurso teórico para entenderlo y alcanzar el objetivo propuesto. Los resultados muestran que 1) las estrategias deliberadas y las emergentes coexisten y se complementan, 2) la improvisación está siempre presente en el contexto organizacional, 3) existe una mayor intensidad de la improvisación en el ‘como’ de la estrategia que en el ‘qué’ y, en oposición a la idea convencional al respecto, 4) se requiere cierta preparación para poder improvisar de manera adecuada.

Gastrodiplomacia como herramienta de política exterior. estudio de caso: Perú

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la manera mediante la cual Perú ha incor- porado la gastrodiplomacia a su estrategia de diplomacia cultural como componente de su política exterior. Con el fin de cumplir este propósito, se va a defender que desde el 2008 el país Inca ha incorporado la gastrodiplomacia a su estrategia de diplomacia cultural em- pleando dos herramientas. Primero, a través de su Plan de Política Exterior Cultural, en donde se señalan objetivos claros en temas de gastronomía. En segundo lugar, con el uso de su marca país mediante la cual se promociona al Perú como un país atractivo gracias a su amplia oferta gastronómica. El trabajo es de carácter analítico y descriptivo ya que pretende entender la manera en la que Perú incorporó la gastrodiplomacia en su política exterior y describir esos objetivos y características de su Plan de Política Exterior Cultural y de su estrategia de marca país.

Analysis of Needs and Resources

The initial aim of the CareMan project was to develop a joint degree programme that combined and utilised the strengths of the five collaborating universities that were already involved in delivering social and health care management education. Because the project was to be implemented in collaboration between education- al institutions, the collaboration had to be based on a detailed understanding of the national and institutional specifics of each of the individual academic enti- ties. During this process it was recognised that, due to a number of regulation issues, achieving the original aim would not be possible; ultimately, following a series of analytical works, which are presented below, it was decided that a set of three master’s level modules should be developed. One of the reasons was that the Finnish law on master’s degrees at universities of applied sciences (UAS) stated that the requirement for entry to a UAS master’s programme was a bachelor degree from a UAS or equivalent, plus a minimum of three years of work experience in an appropriate field. The three years’ work experience is also required from international students. In practice this meant that the participating Finnish UASs, Lahti and HAMK, could not award a diploma for foreign students without this work experience. The other European universities do not have the work experience requirement, although some take it as a bonus for admission (FHS UK). There were also other differences in law (e.g., requirements for mini - mum standards in Social Work education at FHS UK) that could not have been overcome during the period of project realisation. Consequently, the outcome was the development of only three common educational modules, each for 10 ECTS, which were developed, delivered and assessed during the lifetime of the project. The intention was that these would be integrated into the current masters’ level provision in each of the universities

Aportes de la administración moderna a la gerencia educativa

Nowadays, the educative manager or principal has a series of tools of modern administration that allow him/her to guide the educational institution towards quality. Thus, he/she must fulfils a series of functions that are framed within the administrative process, such as planning, organizing, directing and controlling activities in the educational institution. This article´s main objective is to present some of these contributions and the way in which the principal can use them to improve the educational institution. The modern administration puts at the disposal different conceptions that help to visualize the way in which the institution must be managed. The main conclusion that is extracted is that a unique theoretical framework does not exist that can ensure the success of a principal, instead, there must be a use of the best aspects that each of the conceptions that the modern administration have in order to adapt them, according to the circumstances.

Developing new alliances in higher education leadership and governance : autopoietic application of the “arts” creative capacities

This paper, underpinned by a framework of autopoietic principles of creativity/innovation and leadership/governance, argues that open forms of creativity in ‘arts’ provide opportunity for impact upon concepts of development, leadership and governance. The alliance of creativity and governance suggests that by examining various understandings of artistic experiences, readers may perceive new understandings of alliance, application and assessment of such experiences. This critical understanding would include assessing whether such experience supports people changing their aspirations as they become what they want to be. Such understanding may also suggest that different applications of the creative capacity of the ‘arts’ offers relevance in alleged ‘non-creative’ areas of academe, particularly in areas of management, leadership and governance. This alliance also offers the possibility of new staff development programs that facilitate learning and building of individual capacity, as well as facilitate congruent development process and policy, particularly within academic organisational structures.

Not a dirty word : arts entrepreneurship and higher education

While the majority of creative, performing, and literary artists are self-employed, relatively few tertiary arts schools attempt to develop capabilities for venture creation and management (and entrepreneurship more broadly) and still fewer do so effectively. This article asks why this is the case. It addresses underlying conceptual and philosophical issues encountered by arts educators, arguing that in all three senses of the term: new venture creation; career self-management; and being enterprising, entrepreneurship is essential to career success in the arts. However, the practice of entrepreneurship in the arts is significantly different from the practice of entrepreneurship in business, in terms of the artist’s drivers and aims, as well as the nature of entrepreneurial opportunities, contexts and processes. These differences mean that entrepreneurship curricula cannot simply be imported from Business schools. This article also examines the arts-idiosyncratic challenge of negotiating distinctive and potentially conflicting entrepreneurial aims, using career identity theory. It concludes by suggesting strategies by which adaptive entrepreneurial artist identities can be developed through higher education programs.

Creative entrepreneurship education for graduate employability in the creative arts

The higher education sector in Australia is under increasing pressure to prove quality and efficacy of education provision, including graduate outcomes. One of the central tasks of higher education has become to prepare nascent professionals as far as possible for initial employment and future working lives beyond this (Boden & Nedeva, 2010). Tertiary educators in the creative arts face significant and distinctive challenges in demonstrating graduate employability, and creative graduates consistently have the poorest outcomes of any subject grouping. In part, this is because the national graduate destinations survey (Graduate Careers Council of Australia, 2012) does not cater to the distinctive ‘portfolio’ nature of creative careers, or take account of the fact that creative careers can take concerted effort over several years to establish (e.g., McCowan & Wyganowska, 2010). However, it is worth asking whether we as tertiary arts educators are doing enough to prepare creative arts students for the world of work, particularly given that the majority of them will be self-employed to some degree (Bureau of Labour Statistics, 2011, Throsby & Zednik, 2010), and will be challenged to build their own careers without recourse to the support of HR departments or intra-firm promotion schemes. It has been demonstrated empirically that career management and creative enterprise skills are among the most important graduate capabilities in determining early creative career success (Bridgstock, 2011), although these skills do not appear in the Learning and Teaching Academic Standards for the Creative and Performing Arts (2010). This paper explores the nature and development of enterprise capabilities for creative arts students (as distinct from students of the business school), examines best practice in the field internationally, and proposes a theoretically-driven creative arts-specific enterprise curriculum model which commences in first year, for demonstrable impact on student enterprise behaviours (such as grant seeking, professional networking and intention to start an enterprise) and employability.
