Im Verlauf des letzten Jahres hat eine Hiobsbotschaft so gut wie jedes deutsche Industrieunternehmen erreicht: Ausschlaggebend für die spektakulären Erfolge japanischer Hersteller im Krieg der Triaden-Sterne USA, Europa und Japan sei - so der wesentliche Inhalt der Botschaft - ein spezifisches Organisationskonzept. Dieses organisatorische Wunderkind wurde - um den Kontrast zu tayloristischen Organisationsmodellen der Massenproduktion möglichst deutlich zu machen - auf den Namen "Lean Management" getauft. Die Geltung der Botschaft ist weder auf Japan noch auf den analysierten Automobilsektor beschränkt. So zumindest die Ansicht aller Boten der ersten Stunde, die aus Boston, konkret von MIT und Harvard, stammen. Zusammen mit der Schock-Message unterbreiten sie eine durch und durch konstruktive und zugleich attraktive Offerte: Vorständen, Geschäftsführern und Center-Leitem wird nahegelegt, ihr Raumschriff "Enterprise" auf " Lean Enterprise" umzurüsten. Nur mit einer derart getunten Raumschiffversion könne man auf die Seite der Gewinner überwechseln.
International audience ; Knowledge Management methods, techniques and experience can bring a considerable help in preventing all kind of risks. The current economic context amplified the existing risks and introduced new ones such as environmental, political and social. Among the most critical risks of this century is this of lost of knowledge and "memory" in particular in industry involved in long-term activities. After listing the principal risks and recalling of main approaches and techniques of Knowledge Management and its application for risk management an example of nuclear industry is given. Discussion follows in final conclusion and some perspectives are presented.

This paper aims to present a framework for the organizational knowledge management, which seeks to deploy a standardized structure for the integrated management of knowledge is a common language based on domains, processes and global indicators inspired by the COBIT framework 5 (ISACA, 2012), which supports the integration of three technologies, enterprise information architecture (EIA), the business process modeling (BPM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA). The Gomak Framework is a management platform that seeks to integrate the information technology infrastructure, the structure of applications, information infrastructure, and business logic and business model to support a sound strategy of organizational knowledge management, low process-based approach and concurrent engineering. Concurrent engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to integrated product development that respond to customer expectations, involving all perspectives in parallel, from the beginning of the product life cycle.

Das Agribusiness ist eine Branche, die sich zahlreichen Veränderungen im politischen, ökonomischen sowie gesellschaftlichen Umfeld ausgesetzt sieht. Durch die Analyse der Geschäftsbeziehungen im Rahmen des Relationship Managements können marktliche sowie nicht-marktliche Beziehungen optimiert werden und die Anpassungen an die Unternehmensumwelt gezielt gesteuert werden. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertation wurden exemplarisch aus drei verschiedenen Blickwinkeln des Relationship Managements Beziehungen zwischen Unternehmen und Kunden, Lieferanten sowie externen Anspruchsgruppen untersucht. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass besonders in den marktlichen Beziehungen monetäre Größen wie Auszahlungs- oder Endabgabepreis nicht die wichtigsten Variablen sind. Vielmehr sind es weiche Faktoren, z. B. die Kommunikation mit den Lieferanten oder landwirtschaftliche Orientierung, die sich auf die Beziehungsqualität auswirken. Insgesamt kann festgestellt werden, dass das Agribusiness in vielen Punkten gezielter mit seinen (Geschäfts-)beziehungen umgehen muss, um sich besser an die Anforderungen des Marktes und der Gesellschaft anzupassen. ; The agribusiness has to face numerous changes in the political, economical and social environment. By analysing relationships with approaches of relationship management, market and non-market relationships can be optimised and adoptions to the enterprises environment can be managed precisely. In this dissertation, relationships between companies and their customers, suppliers, and external stakeholders are analysed exemplarily from three different perspectives of relationship management. As a result it can be shown that especially in market relationships monetary measures such as prices and final accounts are not the most important variables. Far more important for determining the relationship quality are soft factors such as communication with suppliers or farmer orientation. In a whole it can be said that companies in the agribusiness have to deal more focussed with their (business) relationships to better adopt to demands of markets and society as well.
Purpose: There is a growing desire for more scientific and technical knowledge regarding Africa. This is because Africa has the potential and opportunity to generate impactful research. However, this potential is not optimized because of several constraints, including the lack of systematic reviews and models of knowledge management and paradoxical trends in Africa. The purpose of this paper is to review studies on knowledge management and associated paradoxes in Africa and a paradox-conscious African knowledge management model. The autochthonous African model that the authors propose has implications for global knowledge management. Design/methodology/approach: The authors review studies on knowledge management and paradoxes on Africa. Findings: The authors propose a model and identify 12 paradoxes broadly categorized as industrial, political and social. Practical implications: The paradoxical tensions characteristic of Africa may be considered integral to business and policy rather than local expressions to be solved through international "best practice." Originality/value: The model this paper propose enables theoretical and empirical studies of knowledge management sensitive to the paradoxical tensions associated with autochthonous management knowledge and autochthonous knowledge management. ; authorsversion ; published

The present scientific monograph, entitled "Environmental management & audit", is the result of three years' work on an international project entitled "Environmental management in Russian companies – retraining courses for the sensibilization for and integration of Eco-Audit programs in corporate decision-making (RECOAUD)". Within its more than 600 pages, the monograph features interesting texts written by 31 authors from the European Union and the Russian Federation, edited by dr. Borut Jereb, Darja Kukovič and dr. Daria Meyr. The monograph "Environmental management & audit" is composed of four books: "Scarcity and Introduction of Environmental Management", "Management Systems", "Controlling and Stakeholders", and "Environmental Assessment" (Featured Articles). These four topics reflect the complexity, heterogeneity and multidisciplinary of the project Tempus RECOAUD. The reader of the monograph gets a comprehensive overview of theoretical perspectives of environmental management and audit in the chosen areas. Furthermore, the monograph also highlights the results of research in the field of environmental management and audit as well as trends and challenges in the development of this field. Providing insight into theoretical and research findings, the monograph will prove useful to both practitioners and researchers in the field of environmental management and audit ; it can also be used for study purposes.
Economic globalization, growingly differentiated and unstable markets, fiscal crises in light of increasing public expenditure are the elements of an uncertain future for local communities. The latter are captured in the growing demand of users or citizens for quality in public services and in the regulation of the state that (sometimes) limits the creative development and competition on a global market of local communities. In the context of this ever demanding environment functions local administration that has to be reformed in order to conform with the elements of this environment. The article presents the specifics of local management and alongside its reform process by the principles of new public management. Empirical part of the article explains findings of an extensive study of local administrations in the European Union and their reforms with implications that show the effects of reformed local administration on the effectiveness of the entire local community.
Master i styring og ledelse ; This thesis is based on explorative empirical research on the use of strategic management and performance management in central-administrative governmental agencies in Norway. Employing document analysis, the whole population of 61 central administrative agencies in Norway (the year 2017) – including directorates, inspectorates and oversight bodies, was examined. These are organizationally independent units but are exposed to politically based ministerial governance, including performance budgeting and performance management. Strategic management and performance management are therefore not inherently integrated processes in Norwegian government agencies. Key questions were how performance management interacts with strategic management in governmental agencies, do ministries' various use of performance management affect whether agencies develop strategies or how they design their strategy, and are (long term) strategies dormant documents or actively used as steering instruments in agencies alongside (short term) performance management? Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from our source documents. Poister et al.'s (2010) strategic management framework was used as an integrative perspective. The relationship between agency and parent ministry was interpreted as defining important contextual determinants described by Ferlie and Ongaro (2015). Strategies were analysed with various approaches such as strategic stance (Boyne and Walker 2004) and institutional "administrative values" and vision (Bozeman 2007, Hood 1991). The quantitative data were analysed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) (Hair et al. 2017). Key findings: In a supposedly low-NPM affected tier of government, two-thirds of agencies had agency-wide strategies. Strategic management seems to have a stronger identity forming function, while performance management dominates aim-setting in agencies. Depending on variables like size, organisation structure, policy area and ministry-affiliation, the interaction between performance management and strategic management showed non-linear variations suggesting they function as separate, but interconnected steering-instruments in government agencies in Norway. ; Denne masteroppgaven er en utforskende studie av bruk av strategisk styring og mål- og resultatstyring i sentral-administrative statlige virksomheter i Norge. Jeg brukte dokumentanalyse av tre dokumentkilder: tildelingsbrev, virksomhetenes strategidokumenter og virksomhetens årsmeldinger. Jeg studerte hele populasjonen av 61 sentraladministrative enheter, deriblant direktorater og tilsyn. Disse virksomhetene er autonome enheter, men er underlagt ytre styring gjennom tildelingsbrevenes mål- og resultatstyring og budsjettstyring. Strategisk styring og mål- og resultatstyring er derfor i disse virksomhetene strukturelt løsrevet fra hverandre. Nøkkelspørsmål har vært hvordan mål- og resultatstyringen og den strategiske styringen interagerer, hvorfor noen statlige virksomheter utvikler strategier og hvordan styrken og detaljorienteringen i tildelingsbrev påvirker utviklingen og bruken av strategier. Jeg innhentet både kvantitative og kvalitative data fra våre kilder. Ved hjelp av det strategiske rammeverket til Poister et al. (2010) tolket jeg bruk av tildelingsbrev som kontekstuelle determinanter som beskrevet av Ferlie og Ongaro (2015). Tildelingsbrev ble analysert med henblikk på kvantitativ måling av ulike styringsvirkemidler. Strategier ble analysert fra flere perspektiver, bl.a. strategisk ståsted (Boyne and Walker 2004) og verdier og visjoner (Bozeman 2007, Hood 1991). De kvantitative dataene ble analysert med Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) (Hair et al. 2017). Nøkkelfunn: I statlige virksomheter på sentral-administativt nivå hadde 41 av 61 virksomheter utviklet strategier. Et stort flertall (78%) refererte til sin strategi i sine årsrapporter, men kun et mindretall (37%) refererte til konkrete strategiske mål. Dette bidrar til et bilde av at strategier hos mange ikke er sovende dokumenter. Strategier ser ut til å ha en mer identitets-markerende funksjon i styringen av virksomheter, mens mål- og resultatstyringen i tildelingsbrev dominerer den kortsiktige målsettingsfunksjonen. Når strategier blir for detaljerte i sine mål, ser det ut til at de raskere blir irrellevante for virksomheten. Avhengig av variabler som virksomhetens størrelse, organisasjonsstruktur, politikkområde og tilhørighet til departement, viste virksomhetene store variasjoner i strategisk styring og mål- og resultatstyring. Dette tolkes i denne oppgaven som at mål- og resultatstyring og strategisk styring synes å brukes som separate, men likevel sammenvevde redskaper i styringen av statlige virksomheter i Norge. ; publishedVersion
