Using the framework of balanced leadership in projects, we explore how horizontal leadership is governed. Previous research in project governance has focused on control and trust as the main ...mechanisms of governance. We apply this approach to the leadership field and investigate the nature of governance of temporary horizontal leaders in projects through contextual enablers, mechanisms, structures, practices and process. We argue that control and trust unfolds in particular combinations of the above items. Based on a study of different projects in Lithuania, we provide insights and discuss characteristics of trust and control, as exercised in the governance of horizontal leadership.
•The governance of horizontal leaders (HLs) in projects is studied.•Trust and control are identified as governance mechanisms.•Choice of governance mechanisms are contingent of personality, professionality and benevolence of HLs.•Governance model is developed.
This study operationalizes and tests a multilevel governance model for interorganizational project networks. Results of a qualitative multicase study are used to develop a framework model with three ...levels of governance, namely metagovernance, governance of networks, and network governance. This framework is validated through a global survey with 225 responses. Type I and Type II governance are confirmed as the organizational elements of network governance, and the relationships between the different levels are established. Metagovernance directly impacts network governance and this relationship is mediated through governance of networks for Type I governance and moderated through governance of networks for Type II governance.
Little is known about the governance of inter-organizational networks for projects. This study empirically develops a theoretical framework for this, using 28 project networks as case studies, ...applying 124 interviews in ten countries. The abductively developed three-layered governance framework has the individual network for a project at its lowest layer, explained through Multi-level Governance Theory. This is steered by a middle layer for the governance of networks, addressing the steering of the different networks these organizations are part of. At the top is metagovernance, where the ground rules are set by governments or investors. For each layer, the governance dimensions, as well as the enablers and disablers between layers, are defined. The study's resulting theory provides an overall understanding of the governance of multiple networks for projects and provides practitioners with the parameters to optimize their networks for better project results.
Informacijos integravimas yra vienas iš svarbesnių iššūkių, su kuriais susiduria šiuolaikinė verslo informatika. Vieningos prasmės gavimą iš įvairialypės informacijos, esančios įvairiuose šaltiniuose ...ir formatuose, komplikuoja nemažai technologinių, sisteminių ir organizacinių iššūkių. Šio straipsnio tikslas yra išnagrinėti informacijos integravimo srityje egzistuojančias problemas ir pasiūlyti praktines jų sprendimo rekomendacijas. Esama nemažai informacijos integravimo požiūrių ir technologinių priemonių, kurias sieja siekiai valdyti ir sujungti informacijoje esančią prasmę, todėl akivaizdu, kad efektyvus informacijos integravimas turi būti vykdomas jungtinėmis vartotojų ir technologijos pastangomis. Sprendžiant informacijos integravimo problemas pravartu pasinaudoti gimininga patirties valdymo arba išmoktų pamokų srities problematika ir patirtimi.
Information integration is one of the significant challenges for today’s business informatics to deal with. The development of a unified meaning out of multi-faceted information from assorted sources ...and formats is complicated by a number of technological, system and organizational challenges. The goal of this paper is to analyze the problems in the area of business information integration and propose practical recommendations for solving them. There are numerous approaches and technology platforms for information integration, unified by the goal to manage and unite the meaning contained in information, and it becomes evident that effective information integration has to be performed by a joint effort of users and technology. Different approaches are required for integration of structured and unstructured information – while the former requires the well-known tools and techniques of database domain, the latter requires much more flexible techniques, based on text analysis, text mining, fuzzy classification and intense participation of the users. It also has to be noted that forced integration of unstructured information using structured techniques creates a risk of stripping down the significant part of contained meanings. While dealing with information integration problems, a possible help would be the use of related experiences from the field of experience management or lessons learned.
