Cette thèse de Doctorat s'intéresse à la gouvernance du sport et plus particulièrement à la gouvernance des fédérations sportives européennes. Elle part du triple constat du manque de réflexion académique sur Popérationnalisation du concept de gouvernance du sport en unités de mesure, de l'intérêt croissant de l'Union européenne, du Conseil de l'Europe et de la Confédération suisse pour la réforme des organisations sportives internationales, ainsi que du faible attrait académique pour l'analyse d'un ensemble de fédérations sportives européennes. Elle a pour objectif principal de décrire l'état de la gouvernance d'un ensemble de fédérations sportives européennes (27) opérant en Europe. Cet objectif se décline en quatre questions principales : 1) Quelles sont les définitions et les dimensions de la gouvernance et de la gouvernance du sport dans une approche prescriptive ? 2) Comment mesurer la gouvernance du sport en Europe ? 3) Comment la gouvernance du sport est-elle mise en oeuvre par les fédérations sportives européennes ? 4) Comment améliorer la gouvernance du sport en Europe ? En reconnaissant la nature hybride d'une organisation sportive et optant pour les approches prescriptives de la gouvernance, la revue de la littérature présente les enseignements de la corporate governance, de la gouvernance des organisations à but non lucratif, de la gouvernance démocratique et de la gouvernance du sport. Celle-ci révèle notamment l'existence d'une constellation de prescriptions, applicables à un ensemble généralement non défini d'organisations sportives en Europe. La gouvernance du sport est ensuite définie par : « Les mécanismes par lesquels une organisation sportive de nature hybride agissant dans un système complexe et un environnement composés de multiples parties prenantes, notamment publiques et privées, est induite à modifier son comportement, ses structures et modes organisationnels afin de satisfaire leurs attentes multiples et divergentes tout en cherchant à préserver son autonomie ». Elle est déconstruite en trois dimensions, six composantes, et 39 indicateurs mesurant de façon originale quantitativement et qualitativement la mise en oeuvre de la gouvernance du sport. En nous appuyant sur une analyse de contenu et une série d'entretiens directifs, les résultats basés sur 1525 unités d'analyse montrent une image encourageante des fédérations sportives européennes, notamment en termes de formalisation des procédures démocratiques, et de publication d'informations biographiques. Cette image tend cependant à s'assombrir lorsque les indicateurs mesurent la transparence budgétaire et comptable, la mise en place d'une politique de développement environnemental, ou l'imposition d'une limite de mandat pour les membres du Conseil d'Administration. Ces résultats conduisent à la formulation de plusieurs recommandations conceptuelles, méthodologiques et empiriques permettant finalement de contribuer à une « meilleure » gouvernance du sport en Europe qu'actuellement (2014).

Työn tavoitteena oli määrittää myyntikonfiguraattorissa käytettävän tuotemallin yleinen rakenne. Ensin selvitettiin tuotemallin luomista ja konseptin suunnittelua kirjallisuuden ja asiantuntijoiden haastattelujen avulla. Asiantuntijoiden haastattelut toteutettiin vapaamuotoisesti kysymyslistaa apuna käyttäen. Tämän lisäksi työssä pohditaan sähköisen liiketoiminnan roolia sekä myyntikonfiguraattorin tulevaisuuden näkymiä. Diplomityössä käsitellään tuotemallia yleisellä tasolla. Toinen näkökulma käsittelee tuotemallia tietoteknisissä sovelluksissa käytettyjen menetelmien pohjalta. Tuotemallin muodostaminen aloitettiin asiakkaalle näkyvästä osasta eli myyntikonfiguraattorin ulkoasusta. Seuraava ongelma oli standardoida tuotetta ja tarjousta kuvaavat dokumentit globaalisti. Tähän ratkaisuun päädyttiin haastattelujen sekä asiantuntijoiden kokoontumisien pohjalta. Loppuosa diplomityöstä käsittelee myyntikonfiguraattorin asemaa kohdeyrityksen sähköisessä liiketoiminnassa sekä esittelee erään näkemyksen myyntikonfiguraattorin yhteenliittymästä asiakashallinta- ja tuotetiedonhallinta järjestelmiin. Diplomityössä saavutettiin asetetut tavoiteet: Myyntikonfigurattori yhtenäistää kohdeyrityksen hinnoittelua globaalisti, nopeuttaa tarjouksentekoprosessia, helpottaa uuden tuotteen lanseerausta ja standardoi tuotemallin globaalisti. Myyntikonfiguraattorin integrointi muihin tietojärjestelmiin tehostaa myynnin toimintoja. Haasteeksi jää loppukäyttäjien kannustaminen tehokkaaseen käyttöön sekä ylläpidon toteuttaminen. Ilman käyttäjiä ja heidän innostustaan voi projekti menettää johdon luottamuksen.

Työn päätavoitteena oli tutkia, miten toimintoperusteisia kustannuslaskentaprojekteja (ABC) voidaan ohjata tehokkaammin tulevaisuudessa, ja löytää toimintojohtamisen (ABM) tuki liiketoiminnan strategiselle johtamiselle verkottuvassa yritysmaailmassa. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli määritellä ABC-projektien johtamismallien viitekehys ja vertailla toteutettuja ABC-hankkeita.Toimintolaskentaa ja prosessijohtamista selvitettiin kirjallisuuden ja asiantuntijoiden haastatteluiden avulla. Tutkimuksen empiirisen osan ABC-hankkeiden tiedot pohjautuvat projekteissa tiiviisti mukana olleiden henkilöiden haastatteluihin. Kolmen eri yhtiön hankkeet kuvattiin, ja niiden analysoinnin pohjalta esitettiin mahdollisia jatkotoimenpiteitä liiketoiminnan johtamisen näkökulmasta. Lopuksi työssä pohdittiin myös liiketoiminnan ohjaamisen tulevaisuutta ja jatkotutkimustarpeita.Eri ABC-projektien vertailun pohjalta havaittiin mahdollisia hankekohtaisia kehitysalueita, kuten tietojärjestelmien yhtenäisyys, joustavuus, strateginen oppiminen tulevaisuudessa ja resurssien kohdentaminen. Lisäksi toteutettuja hankkeita arvioitiin liiketoiminnan ohjausta tukevan vuorovaikutteisen resurssisuunnittelun pohjalta. Työssä luotiin ABC-projektien johtamismallien kautta viitekehyksiä mahdollisille jatkohankkeille korostamalla prosessimaisuutta ja ulkoista verkottumista.Lopuksi esitetään, että ennen ABC-hankkeen aloitusta on yrityksen nykyinen tila ja tietojärjestelmät analysoitava. Projektia ei saa toteuttaa vain yhden hyväksi koetun tavan mukaisesti, vaan onnistunut ABC-projektin läpivienti vaatii monien erilaisten toteutus- ja ajattelumallien yhdistämistä. ABC-sovellusten on tuettava sekä operatiivista toimintaa että strategista liiketoiminnan johtamista. Tehokas verkottuminen mahdollistaa lopulta ulkoisten prosessien hallinnan yhdessä organisaation sidosryhmien kanssa.

Ce travail présente une étude de cas post-catastrophe à San Cristobal, Guatemala, où un important glissement de terrain du nom «Los Chorros» (8-10 millions de m3 de roche) affecte depuis 2009 diverses communautés et une des routes principales du pays. Les gestionnaires des risques, sur la base de leur propre évaluation, ont décidé de répondre d'une manière qui ne correspond pas aux intérêts de la population affectée. Les communautés locales ont évalué le risque de catastrophe et ont établi une autre solution suivant une conception du risque différente. Les conflits sociaux et la concurrence entre les différents acteurs du territoire, pour la définition des priorités et des solutions, révèlent les aspects sous-jacents de la société, utiles pour identifier et comprendre ce qui constitue le risque de catastrophe dans un contexte donné. Ce conflit montre que le risque de catastrophe n'est pas univoque mais un concept complexe, constitué par un grand nombre de composants. En termes de gouvernance, il met également en évidence la confrontation des savoirs et la tension qui peut exister entre les différentes approches du risque. Depuis une approche où le risque de catastrophe est considéré comme une construction sociale (les vulnérabilités étant historiquement générées par des processus sociaux, politiques, économiques et culturels), ce travail évalue d'autres modes d'interprétation, de traitement et d'intervention qui peuvent aider à améliorer les méthodes d'évaluation et de gestion des risques. Enfin, la proposition de gestion qui découle de l'exemple guatémaltèque invite à une autre manière de concevoir la gestion des risques en intégrant les différentes conceptions du risque et en visant une coordination stratégique entre les acteurs des politiques publiques, les échelles d'intervention, les experts en charge des différents aléas et la société civile, afin d'obtenir une solution acceptable pour tous les acteurs impliqués dans un territoire. -- This work analyses a post-disaster case study from San Cristobal, Guatemala where a large landslide named "Los Chorros (8 millions cubic meters of rock) affects several communities and one of the country's main west-east access highways. Risk managers, starting from their own assessment, decided to respond in a way that does not correspond to the interests of the afected population. Local communities assessed the risk disaster situation and establised another solution from a different conception of risk. These social conflict and competition for priorities and solutions for risk management reveal that disaster risk is not unequivocal but a complex and holistic concept, constituted by a large set of components. From a social constructivism approach, where disaster risk is considered as the results of social, political, economic and historic process, this thesis evaluates other modes of interpreting, shaping and managing risk that can help improve methods of risk assessment and management. Studying the logic of action of actors, who mobilize to establish a solution, enables to identify as to what constitutes a disaster. For this reason, the study focus, in particular, on the analysis of practices (practical science) implemented by all actors in San Cristobal Altaverapaz. Finally, it puts into perspective the risk management in terms of an integrative approach for policy experts that find compromise between different conceptions of risk in order to obtain a solution acceptable to all those involved.

Aineettomat oikeudet ovat erittäin ajankohtainen aihe sekä yritysmaailmassa että tutkimuspiireissä, koska niiden taloudellinen merkitys on kasvanut viime vuosikymmenenä räjähdysmäisesti. Tällä muutoksella on ollut vaikutusta useilla eri liiketoiminnan osa-alueilla, esimerkiksi kirjanpidossa. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on tehdä sekä teoreettinen että empiirinen katsaus aineettomiin oikeuksiin. Tarkastelu aloitetaan kirjanpidon teoreettisten lähtökohtien käsittelyllä. Tämän jälkeen siirrytään tarkastelemaan aineettomia oikeuksia eri tilinpäätösnormistojen (IAS, US GAAP ja kirjanpitolaki) näkökulmasta. Näistä muodostuu yhdessä tutkielman teoreettinen viitekehys. Empiirisessä osassa pyritään sen sijaan selvittämään kirjanpitoon liittyvää problematiikkaa erityistapauk-sessa, jossa lisensiointiyhtiö tekee liiketoimintaa yksinomaan aineettomia oikeuksia välittämällä. Kysymyksessä on kvalitatiivinen tapaustutkimus. Sen lopputuloksena pyritään tekemään johtopäätöksiä yhtiön valitsemasta kirjanpidollisesta toimintamallista ja esittämään sille vaih-toehtoisia malleja. Johtopäätökset perustuvat pääasiassa teemahaastatteluin tehtyihin asiantuntijanäkemyksiin.

In the first part of this paper, we present the various academic debates and, where applicable, questions that remain open in the literature, particularly regarding the nature of trust, the distinction between trust and trustworthiness, its role in specific relationships and its relationship to control. We then propose a way of demarcating and operationalizing the concepts of trust and trustworthiness. In the second part, on the basis of the conceptual clarifications we present, we put forward a number of "anchor points" regarding how trust is apprehended in the public sector with regard to the various relations hips that can be studied. Schematically, we distinguish between two types of relations hips in the conceptual approach to trust: on one hand, the trust that citizens, or third parties, place in the State or in various public sector authorities or entities, and on the other hand, trust within the State or the public sector, between its various authorities, entities, and actors. While studies have traditionally focused on citizens' trust in their institutions, the findings, limitations and problems observed in public - sector coordination following the reforms associated with New Public Management have also elicited growing interest in the study of trust in the relationships between the various actors within the public sector. Both the theoretical debates we present and our propositions have been extracted and adapted from an empirical comparative study of coordination between various Swiss public - service organizations and their politico - administrative authority. Using the analysis model developed for this specific relationship, between various actors within the public service, and in the light of theoretical elements on which development of this model was based, we propose some avenues for further study - questions that remain open - regarding the consideration and understanding of citizens' trust in the public sector.

Although brand authenticity is gaining increasing interest in consumer behavior research and managerial practice, literature on its measurement and contribution to branding theory is still limited. This article develops an integrative framework of the concept of brand authenticity and reports the development and validation of a scale measuring consumers' perceived brand authenticity (PBA). A multi-phase scale development process resulted in a 15-item PBA scale measuring four dimensions: credibility, integrity, symbolism, and continuity. This scale is reliable across different brands and cultural contexts. We find that brand authenticity perceptions are influenced by indexical, existential, and iconic cues, whereby some of the latters' influence is moderated by consumers' level of marketing skepticism. Results also suggest that PBA increases emotional brand attachment and word-of-mouth, and that it drives brand choice likelihood through self-congruence for consumers high in self-authenticity.

Understanding the basis on which recruiters form hirability impressions for a job applicant is a key issue in organizational psychology and can be addressed as a social computing problem. We approach the problem from a face-to-face, nonverbal perspective where behavioral feature extraction and inference are automated. This paper presents a computational framework for the automatic prediction of hirability. To this end, we collected an audio-visual dataset of real job interviews where candidates were applying for a marketing job. We automatically extracted audio and visual behavioral cues related to both the applicant and the interviewer. We then evaluated several regression methods for the prediction of hirability scores and showed the feasibility of conducting such a task, with ridge regression explaining 36.2% of the variance. Feature groups were analyzed, and two main groups of behavioral cues were predictive of hirability: applicant audio features and interviewer visual cues, showing the predictive validity of cues related not only to the applicant, but also to the interviewer. As a last step, we analyzed the predictive validity of psychometric questionnaires often used in the personnel selection process, and found that these questionnaires were unable to predict hirability, suggesting that hirability impressions were formed based on the interaction during the interview rather than on questionnaire data.

Cette thèse analyse la co-évolution de deux secteurs dans la politique de la santé: santé publique (public health) et soins aux malades (health care). En d'autres termes, la relation entre les dimensions curative et préventive de la politique de la santé et leur développement dans la durée. Une telle recherche est nécessaire car les problèmes de la santé sont complexes et ont besoin de solutions coordonnées. De plus, les dépenses de la santé ont augmenté sans arrt durant les dernières décennies. Un moyen de réduire une future augmentation des dépenses pourrait consister en davantage d'investissement dans des mesures préventives. En relation avec cette idée, ma recherche analyse les politiques de la santé publique et les soins aux malades de cinq pays: Allemagne, Angleterre, Australie, Etats-Unis et Suisse. En m'appuyant sur la littérature secondaire, des statistiques descriptives et des entretiens avec des experts et des politiciens, j'analyse la relation entre les deux secteurs depuis la fin du dix-neuvième siècle. En particulier, je me focalise sur la relation des deux champs sur trois niveaux: institutions, acteurs et politiques. Mes résultats montrent les similitudes et les différences d'évolution entre les cinq pays. D'un c^oté, lorsque la profession médicale est politiquement active et que le pays consiste en une fédération centralisée ou en un gouvernement unitaire, les deux secteurs sont intégrés au niveau institutionnel, ralliant les professions et groupes d'intérêt des deux secteurs la cause commune dans une activité politique. Par contre, dans tous les pays, les deux secteurs ont co-évolué vers une complémentarité malgré de la politisation des professions et la centralisation du gouvernement. Ces résultats sont intéressants pour la science politique en général car ils soulignent l'importance des professions pour le développement institutionnel et proposent un cadre pour l'analyse de la co-évolution des politiques publiques en général. -- This Ph.D. thesis analyzes the co-evolution of the health care and the public health sectors. In other words, the relation between preventive and curative health policy and its evolution over time. Such research is necessary, because current health problems are complex and might need coordinated solutions. What is more, health expenditures have increased continuously in the last decades. One way to slow down further increase in health spending could be to invest more in preventative health policies. Therefore, I am connecting individual health care and public health into a common analysis, taking Australia, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and the U.S. as examples. Based on secondary literature, descriptive statistics and interviews with experts and policymakers, I am analyzing how the two sectors' relations co-evolved between the late nineteenth and the early twenty-first century. Specifically, I am researching how health care and public health were related on the levels of institutions, actors and policies. My results show that there are differences and similarities in the co-evolution of policy sectors between these countries. On the one hand, when the medical profession was politically active and the country a centralized federation or a unitary state, there was institutional integration and common political advocacy of the sectors' interest groups and professions. On the other hand, in all countries, both sectors co-evolved towards complementarity, irrespectively of the politicization of professions and centralization of government. These findings are interesting for the political science literature at large, because they underline the importance of professions for institutional development and propose an analytical framework for analyzing the co-evolution of policy sectors in general.

Specific demand for service concept creation has come about from industrial organizations’ desire to find new and innovative ways to differentiate their offering by increasing the level of customer services. Providers of professional services have also demanded new concepts and approaches for their businesses as these industries have become increasingly competitive. Firms are now seeking better ways to understand and segment their customers, to ensure the delivery of quality services and strengthen their position in aggressively competitive markets. This thesis is intended to provide management consulting companies with a new work method that enables service concept creation in a business-to-business environment. The model defines the service concept as a combination of delivered value and the target customers; the third-dimension operating model is brought to the new system in testing of the service concept creation guidelines in the target organization. For testing, service concepts for a management consulting company are created. Service concepts are designed to serve as a solid foundation for further service improvements. Recommendations and proposals for further action related to service development in the target organization are presented, and recommendations to further improve the model created are given.

BACKGROUND: Frequent emergency department (ED) users meet several of the criteria of vulnerability, but this needs to be further examined taking into consideration all vulnerability's different dimensions. This study aimed to characterize frequent ED users and to define risk factors of frequent ED use within a universal health care coverage system, applying a conceptual framework of vulnerability. METHODS: A controlled, cross-sectional study comparing frequent ED users to a control group of non-frequent users was conducted at the Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland. Frequent users were defined as patients with five or more visits to the ED in the previous 12 months. The two groups were compared using validated scales for each one of the five dimensions of an innovative conceptual framework: socio-demographic characteristics; somatic, mental, and risk-behavior indicators; and use of health care services. Independent t-tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Pearson's Chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test were used for the comparison. To examine the -related to vulnerability- risk factors for being a frequent ED user, univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used. RESULTS: We compared 226 frequent users and 173 controls. Frequent users had more vulnerabilities in all five dimensions of the conceptual framework. They were younger, and more often immigrants from low/middle-income countries or unemployed, had more somatic and psychiatric comorbidities, were more often tobacco users, and had more primary care physician (PCP) visits. The most significant frequent ED use risk factors were a history of more than three hospital admissions in the previous 12 months (adj OR:23.2, 95%CI = 9.1-59.2), the absence of a PCP (adj OR:8.4, 95%CI = 2.1-32.7), living less than 5 km from an ED (adj OR:4.4, 95%CI = 2.1-9.0), and household income lower than USD 2,800/month (adj OR:4.3, 95%CI = 2.0-9.2). CONCLUSIONS: Frequent ED users within a universal health coverage system form a highly vulnerable population, when taking into account all five dimensions of a conceptual framework of vulnerability. The predictive factors identified could be useful in the early detection of future frequent users, in order to address their specific needs and decrease vulnerability, a key priority for health care policy makers. Application of the conceptual framework in future research is warranted.

Business process improvement is a common approach in increasing the effectiveness of an organization. It can be seen as an effort to increase coordination between units. Process improvement has proved to be challenging, and most management consultation firms facilitate organizations in this kind of initiatives. Cross-functional improvement is one of the main areas for internal consultants as well. However, the needs, challenges and means of cross-functional help have been rarely discussed in the literature. The objective of this thesis is on one hand to present a conceptual and descriptive framework to help understand the challenges of facilitating coordination improvement efforts in cross-functional improvement programs, and on the other hand to develop and test feasible solutions for some facilitation situations. The research questions are: 1. Why and in what kind of situations do organizations need help in developing coordination in cross-functional processes? 2. How can a facilitator help organizations in improving coordination to develop cross-functional processes? The study consists of two parts. The first part is an overview of the dissertation, and the second part comprises six research publications. The theoretical background for the study are the differentiation causing challenges in cross-functional settings, the coordination needed to improve processes, change management principles, methods and tools, and consultation practises. Three of the publications introduce tools for helping in developing prerequisites, planning responsibilities and supporting learning during the cross-functional program. The three other papers present frameworks to help understand and analyse the improvement situation. The main methodological approaches used in this study are design science research, action research and case research. The research data has been collected from ten cases representing different kinds of organizations, processes and developing situations. The data has been collected mainly by observation, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The research contributes to the rare literature combining coordination theories and process improvement practises. It also provides additional understanding of a holistic point of view in process improvement situations. The most important contribution is the addition to the theories of facilitating change in process improvement situations. From the managerial point of view, this study gives advice to managers and consultants in planning and executing cross-functional programs. The main factors increasing the need for facilitation are the challenges for differentiation, challenges of organizational change in general, and the novelty of initiatives and improvement practices concerning process development. Organizations need help in creating the prerequisites to change, in planning initiatives, easing conflict management and collaboration between groups, as well as supporting the learning of cross-functional improvement. The main challenges of facilitation are combining the different roles as a consultant, maintaining the ownership for the improvement project with the client, and supporting learning in the client organization.

Réunissant quelques-uns des meilleurs experts français sur la question, le projet de cet ouvrage est de dresser un bilan des principales orientations historiographiques de l'histoire du sport. Cette réflexion complète la table ronde organisée lors du congrès du comité français des sciences historiques (Reims 2012). Elle s'interroge sur la spécificité d'un champ qui s'est développé en marge de l'Histoire en abordant un objet - le sport - qui traverse les cultures et les périodes, et entretient avec les registres politiques, sociaux, économiques, médiatiques, ou scientifiques des liens originaux. Appuyée sur des comparaisons européennes et nordaméricaines, elle suggère aussi des perspectives et de nouvelles pistes à investiguer. Cet ouvrage constitue une base de données précieuse pour les étudiants, doctorants, enseignants, chercheurs, archivistes et conservateurs et, plus largement, tout public averti et désireux de comprendre comment l'histoire a, jusqu'ici, questionné le phénomène sportif. Le lecteur y puisera des éléments conceptuels et des points d'appui historiographiques essentiels. Les grands débats du moment s'y reflètent : sport dans l'Antiquité, histoire de l'éducation physique, histoire économique du sport, histoire des techniques, des médias, du genre, ou encore histoire du sport en milieu colonial.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to review highly cited articles that focus on non-publication of studies, and to develop a consistent and comprehensive approach to defining (non-) dissemination of research findings. SETTING: We performed a scoping review of definitions of the term 'publication bias' in highly cited publications. PARTICIPANTS: Ideas and experiences of a core group of authors were collected in a draft document, which was complemented by the findings from our literature search. INTERVENTIONS: The draft document including findings from the literature search was circulated to an international group of experts and revised until no additional ideas emerged and consensus was reached. PRIMARY OUTCOMES: We propose a new approach to the comprehensive conceptualisation of (non-) dissemination of research. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: Our 'What, Who and Why?' approach includes issues that need to be considered when disseminating research findings (What?), the different players who should assume responsibility during the various stages of conducting a clinical trial and disseminating clinical trial documents (Who?), and motivations that might lead the various players to disseminate findings selectively, thereby introducing bias in the dissemination process (Why?). CONCLUSIONS: Our comprehensive framework of (non-) dissemination of research findings, based on the results of a scoping literature search and expert consensus will facilitate the development of future policies and guidelines regarding the multifaceted issue of selective publication, historically referred to as 'publication bias'.
