Useat ”uuden” talouden piirteet, kuten ympäristön ennustamattomuus, globalisaatio, vapaa kauppa ja teknologian leviäminen, ovat lisänneet organisaatioiden muutospaineita. Yritysostoista on tullut resurssien ja markkinavoiman hankkimistyökalu, jonka avulla yritykset voivat kohdata ympäristön niille asettamat haasteet sekä hyödyntää markkinoiden tarjoamat mahdollisuudet. Yritysostojen onnistumisprosentit ovat kuitenkin olleet alhaiset, mahdollisesti siitä syystä, että yritysostoissa on keskitytty taloudellisiin ja oikeudellisiin asioihin henkilöstöprosessien kustannuksella. Tästä syystä henkilöstöjohtamista ja erityisesti integraatiojohtamista on enenevässä määrin pidetty tärkeänä yritysostojen onnistumisen kannalta. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yritysostojen vaikutuksia yritysten henkilöstöön ja yrityskulttuureihin. Tutkimuksessa verrattiin kolmen eri yrityksen kohdalla suoritettuja yritysostoprojekteja, ja niissä esiin tulleita ongelmakohtia. Vertailut osoittivat yritysostojen merkitsevän henkilöstölle suurta epävarmuutta, jota voitiin vähentää muun muassa toimivalla sisäisellä viestinnällä ja suunnitelmallisella muutosjohtamisella. Suurimmiksi ongelmiksi koettiin ostokohteen maantieteellinen etäisyys ostavasta yrityksestä, pienen ja ison yrityksen kulttuurien yhteensovittaminen sekä henkilöstön huomiointi yritysostotilanteessa ja sen jälkeen.

There is currently a lack of guidance on methodology and special considerations for transitioning patients from oxcarbazepine (OXC) or carbamazepine (CBZ) to eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL), if deemed clinically necessary. An advisory panel of epilepsy experts was convened to share their experience on the use of adjunctive ESL in clinical practice and to provide practical recommendations to help address this gap. When changing over from OXC to ESL, an OXC:ESL dose ratio of 1:1 should be employed to calculate the ESL target dose, and the changeover can take place overnight. No changes to comedication are required. Since CBZ has a different mechanism of action to ESL and is a stronger inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, the transitioning of patients from CBZ to ESL requires careful consideration on a patient-by-patient basis. In general, a CBZ:ESL dose ratio of 1:1.3 should be employed to calculate the ESL target dose, and patients should be transitioned over a minimum period of 1-2weeks. Special considerations include adjustment of titration schedule and target dose in elderly patients and those with hepatic or renal impairment and potential adjustment of comedications metabolized by CYP enzymes. In summary, due to structural distinctions between ESL, OXC, and CBZ, which affect mechanism of action and tolerability, there are clinical situations in which it may be appropriate to consider transitioning patients from OXC or CBZ to ESL. Changing patients over from OXC to ESL is generally more straightforward than transitioning patients from CBZ to ESL, which requires careful consideration.

Perceived patient value is often not aligned with the emerging expenses for health care services. In other words, the costs are often supposed as rising faster than the actual value for the patients. This fact is causing major concerns to governments, health plans, and individuals. Attempts to solve the problem have habitually been on the operational effectiveness side: increasing patient volume, minimizing costs, rationing, or closing hospitals, usually resulting in a zero-sum game. Only few approaches come from the strategic positioning side and "competition" among hospitals is still perceived rather as a danger than as a chance to create a positive-sum game and stimulate patient value. In their 2006 book, "Redefining Health Care", the renowned Harvard strategy professor Michael E. Porter and hospital management expert Professor Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg approach the challenge from the positive-sum perspective: they propose to form Integrated Practice Units (IPUs) and manage hospitals in a modern, patient value oriented way. They argue that creating value-based competition on results should have the same effect on the health care sector like transparency and competition turned other industries with out-dated management models (like recently the inert telecommunication industry) into highly competitive and customer value creating businesses. The objective of this paper is to elaborate Care Delivery Value Chains for Integrated Practice Units in ophthalmic clinics and gather a first feedback from Swiss hospital managers, ophthalmologists, and patients, if such an approach could be a realistic way to improve health care management. First, Porter's definition of competitiveness (distinction between operational effectiveness and strategic positioning) is explained. Then, the Care Delivery Value Chain is introduced as a key element for understanding value-based management, followed by three practice examples for ophthalmic clinics. Finally, recommendations are given how the Care Delivery Value Chain can be managed efficiently and how the obstacles of becoming a patient-oriented organization can be overcome. The conclusion is that increased transparency and value-based competition on results has the potential to change the mindset of hospital managers-which will align patient value with the emerging health care expenses. Early adapters of this management approach will gain a competitive advantage. [Author, p. 6]

The recognition of prior experiential learning (RPEL) involves the assessment ofskills and knowledge acquired by an individual through previous experience, which isnot necessarily related to an academic context. RPEL practices are far from generalisedin higher education, and there is a lack of specific guidelines on how to implement RPLprograms in particular settings, such as management education or online programs. TheRPEL pilot program developed in a Spanish virtual university is used throughout thearticle as the basis for further reflection on the design and implementation of RPEL inonline postgraduate education in the business field. The role of competences as a centraltheoretical foundation for RPEL is explained, and the context and characteristics of theRPEL program described. Special attention is paid to the key elements of the program¿sdesign and to the practical aspects of its implementation. The results of the program areassessed and general conclusions and suggestions for further research are discussed.

Depending on the various models explaining the burnout syndrome, different questionnaires have been developed to asses this topic, the most widely-used is the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Moreover, in trying to asses this syndrome in a faster and more practical way, several authors have developed other instruments with fewer items. The present investigation aims: 1. Study the prevalence of burnout syndrome perceived using a simple measure of self-reported burnout, and to analyse its association with the scales of MBI. 2. Study demographic and work conditions associated with the perceived burnout. 3. Relate the burnout to personal and work evaluations. The sample consist of 6150 health professionals in Latin America (mainly from Argentina but with representation from Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, Guatemala and Spain, among others. The mean age of the sample was 42.4 years, 52.7% were males. They were supplied with an online questionnaire through the health web page ”Intramed” in order to measure characteristics, perceptions and professional opinions. The MBI and a simple question to assess perceptions of burnout (Do you feel burnt out ?) was also included. The results indicated that 36.3% of the sample has the perception of “burnt out” or burnout . The perceived burnout is closely related to emotional exhaustion and is independent of depersonalisation. The burnout is associated with the perceived sense of personal and family deterioration due to working conditions, and the idea of abandoning the profession

Puolustushallinnossa syntyi 2000-luvun alussa strateginen aie keskittyä ydintoimintoihin, ulkoistaa pääosa tukitoiminnoista ja saavuttaa kustannussäästöjä, jotka voitaisiin kohdentaa ydintoimintoihin. Puolustusministeriö perusti ulkoistamisen hallinnoimiseksi kumppanuusohjelman, mihin kuului lähes alusta alkaen kuusi hanketta, jotka ovat nyt toteuttamisvaiheessa. Näistä valittiin neljä tähän tutkimukseen: maavoimien materiaalin kunnossapito, puolustusvoimien ruokahuolto, puolustusvoimien vaatetushuolto ja puolustushallinnon talous- ja henkilöstöhallinto. Kumppanuusohjelman strategisen johtamisen tutkimus perustuupuolustusministeriön ja puolustusvoimien asiakirja-aineistoihin sekä puolustushallinnon ylimmän johdon ja hankejohtajien haastatteluihin. Kumppanuusohjelmaa ja -hankkeita on seurattu vuodesta 2000 vuoden 2010 kevääseen asti. Tarkastelu kohdistuu strategiaprosessiin ja strategian sisältöön ”puolustushallinnon konsernissa”, johon kuuluvat tässä tutkimuksessa puolustusministeriö, pääesikunta ja puolustushaarat. Tutkimuksen tulokset tukevat viitekehyksessä esitettyjä näkökohtia. Laajan kumppanuusohjelman hallinta edellyttää hyvää strategisen johtamisen otetta. Selkeät päämäärät ja tavoitteet luovat perustan strategiaprosessille. Kumppanuusohjelman strategia muotoutui tarkastelujakson aikana niin strategiaprosessien kuin strategian sisällön suhteen. Toimiva ohjausjärjestelmä on puolustushallinnon avaintoimintoja strategisessa johtamisessa. Resurssiperusteinen strategia osoittautui tärkeäksi ulkoistamisissa ja sosiaalinen pääoma, erityisesti yhteisymmärrys osoittautui tärkeäksi tekijäksi konsernijohtamisessa. Kumppanuusohjelman strategisen johtamisen toimivuuden kehittämiseksi kartoitettiin tekijöitä, jotka muodostuivat tehokkaan strategisen johtamisen esteiksi. Esteitä kartoitettiin kumppanuusohjelmasta ja -hankkeista. Tutkimuksen tärkein kontribuutio kohdistuu strategisen johtamisen kehittämiseen. Se on mahdollista hankkimalla konsernin johtotasoilla yhteisymmärryskehittämisohjelmasta ennen ohjelman käynnistämistä, ottamalla huomioon strategisen johtamisen perusteet, ottamalla käyttöön jatkuva strategiaprosessi ja turvaamalla riittävä osaaminen kumppanuusohjelmassa ja -hankkeissa.

As this is a dissertation, an academic thesis, it is important to define the objectives of my research, even if ex post facto, explicitly: - To define, develop and study the concept of business and leadership ethics. - To empirically study the phenomena associated with business and leadership from an ethical perspective. - To create a new framework for the development of responsible business. - To create an “acid test” for my body of works, i.e. a test and an evaluation on how well my research and ideas hold up under academic philosophical reflection. The utilitarian reasoning had the most support when the actors justified their actions regarding economic benefit. (=instrumental good). Duty and benefit were often mixed up in people’s speech. Their meaning contents were blurred and the argumentation lines created by the actors were broken. This can be interpreted in a way that supports Frankena’s mixed deontological philosophy as a frame of reference. Deontologica reasoning was used e.g. in describing the personnel management processes of a company. Virtue ethics is a favourable starting point for studying management and leadership ethics. All the actors studied could name virtues for their operations, towards which to aspire to. They also named professional practices already in use that they considered to be virtuous. Finally, I wish to state that normative ethics is an important branch of philosophical ethics, if also very important in applied ethics especially. From the normative standpoint, the results of this dissertation want to lead nations, communities and individuals towards the virtues of democratic leadership and sustainable economic development.

Over the last decades, the emphasis on the health of dairy cows has changed from an individual to a herd level. In this scenario, the role played by the recording system and its interpretation by veterinarians has gained primordial importance. The records of productive and reproductive performance and of sanitary status from a southern Brazilian dairy cattle herd have been presented and discussed. The period of study was 2000-2009. Mean values per lactation period were 349D 8436M 290F 275P 201SCS (D: days in lactation, M: kg of milk yield, F: kg of fat, P: kg of protein and SCS: somatic cell score in 1000 cells/ml of milk). Major indexes of reproductive efficiency included age at first calving (31 months), services per conception (2.1), intercalving interval (428 days), calving to conception interval (146 days), mean annual rates of parturitions (76.2%), fetal losses (9.8-19.0%), and stillbirths (3.6%), apart of voluntary waiting period (94 days). Main information on sanitary status of the herd was associated with the mean prevalence of common disorders of dairy cattle such as anaplasmosis (29.8%), mastitis (27.8%), digital diseases (26.3%), ovarian cysts (21.3%), placental retention (19.7%), postpartum uterine infections (10.6%), and calf diarrhea (23.7%) and pneumonia (16.8%), among others. In addition, culling reasons (low reproductive performance [56.3%] and udder/mastitis problems [33.6%]), causes of cattle deaths (anaplasmosis [16.4%] and leukosis [11.4]), and the impact of cattle diseases such as tuberculosis, leukosis, and neosporosis on the herd have also been presented and succinctly discussed. Numbers between brackets represent rates accumulated in the 10-year period.

Tämä pro gradu- tutkimus tutkii lääkärijohtajuutta, ylilääkäreiden ammatti-identiteettiä ja sen suhdetta rooleihin ja työmotivaatioon. Tutkimus selvittää myös sitä, mistä ylilääkäreiden asiantuntijuus syntyy ja millainen on asiantuntijalääkäri. Tutkimus toteutettiin haastattelemalla viisi ylilääkäriä, joilla on sekä kliinistä että hallinnollista työtä. Analyysi toteutettiin sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tutkimustulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että lääkärijohtajuus perustuu kliiniseen osaamiseen ja ammattitaitoon. Ylilääkäreillä on lukuisia rooleja, joista asiantuntijarooli on yksi tärkeimmistä. Ylilääkärin ammatti-identiteetti perustuu koulutukseen ja työkokemukseen. Ammatillinen kasvu alkaa jo opiskeluaikana ja se osittain tietoista suunnan luomista. Toisaalta ammatti-identiteetti on niin vahva, että se voi muuttua huomaamattomaksi. Lääkärin ja johtajan roolien erilaisuus luo ristiriitaa ylilääkärin ammatti-identiteetille.

Tämän pro gradu -tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia osaamisen johtamisen käytäntöjä ja kehittämistarpeita kohdeorganisaatiossa henkilöstön näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten tehtyjä henkilöstötutkimuksia on hyödynnetty kohdeorganisaatiossa ja näkyykö tämä hyödyntäminen käytännön johtamisessa henkilöstön mielestä. Tutkimus suoritettiin laadullisena tapaustutkimuksena ja empiirinen aineisto kerättiin kuudella teemahaastattelulla, jotka analysoitiin sisällönanalyysimenetelmällä. Tutkimuksessa kartoitettiin, millaisia osaamisen johtamisen käytäntöjä kohdeorganisaatiossa on. Tutkimuksen tuloksien perusteella osaamisen johtamisen peruselementit ovat olemassa: säännölliset palaverit koettiin tärkeiksi, mutta koulutuksien ja kehityskeskusteluiden järjestämisessä sekä jälkiseurannassa henkilöstö näki parannettavaa. Myös hiljaisen tiedon siirtäminen ja hyödyntäminen koettiin merkittäväksi tekijäksi organisaation onnistuneen toiminnan ja jatkuvuuden kannalta. Tutkimuksessa todettiin osaamisen johtamisen kehittämisen ja osaamisen kehittämisen menetelmien linkittyvän vahvasti toisiinsa ja tutkimuksen tuloksena esitettiin konkreettisia toimenpide-ehdotuksia osaamisen johtamisen kehittämisestä kohdeorganisaation johdolle. Tutkimuksen mukaan osaamisen johtaminen ja henkilöstöjohtaminen sulautuvat toisiinsa, eikä niitä voida tarkastella erikseen. Johdon ja henkilöstön välisellä vuorovaikutuksella on suuri merkitys onnistuneelle osaamisen johtamiselle. Keskeistä on kytkeä osaamisen johtaminen organisaation käytäntöihin ja varata sen implementointiin riittävästi resursseja.

The objective of this thesis is to study the involvement of the Auditor General in the proposal, implementation and review of major public service reform initiatives during a period spanning nearly forty years, from the early 1960s to 2001 . This period began with the Glassco Commission and concludes at the end of the term in office of Auditor General Denis Desautels in 2001. It has been demonstrated throughout this work that the role of the OAG has varied, from proponent to critic, from instigator to reviewer. In the past forty years the OAG's mandate has changed to meet the requirements of critical analysis of government operations and this has been aptly demonstrated in the office's relationship to the issue of public service reform. It has been argued that many of the problems facing the public service are cultural in nature. Reform initiatives have taken on a number of various forms with each addressing a different set of priorities. However, there has been a great deal of consistency in the cultural values that these initiatives articulate. Throughout this thesis attention has been paid to values. Values define a culture and cultural change is required within the Canadian federal public service. How and when this cultural change will occur is but one question to be answered. During the period under consideration in this thesis the government undertook several significant public service reform initiatives. Those examined in this thesis include: The Royal Commission on Government Organization, The Special Committee on the Review of Personnel Management and the Merit Principle, The Royal Commission on Financial Management and Accountability, Increased Ministerial Authority and Accountability, Public Service 2000, Program Review and finally La Releve. The involvement, or interest, of the Auditor General's Office on the subject of public service reform is generally articulated through the means of its annual reports to Parliament although there have been supplementary undertakings on this issue. Such material relevant to this study include: Towards Better Governance: Public Service Reform in New Zealand (1984-94) and its Relevance to Canada and Reform in the Australian Public Service. Annual reports to Parliament include: "Values, Service and Performance," (1990), "Canada's Public Service Reform and Lessons Learned from Selected Jurisdictions," (1993), "Maintaining a Competent and Efficient Public Service," (1997), and "Expenditure and Work Force Reduction in Selected Departments,"
