The article discusses the enactment of a strategic partnership undertaken by a large, multi-site company and several trade unions. The enterprise aimed to institute highly engaged practices of employee and management voice to create a collaborative culture throughout the organization. The study finds that five years since the inception of the project of institutional change, considerable challenges to its embedding and effectiveness remain. It also finds that particular characteristics of the partnership propose resource generation for addressing those challenges and progressing collaborative relations to mutual benefit. Substantive actor effort and organizational learning generate capacity for new relationships. That includes activation of moral capital including toleration, patience, mutual respect, reciprocity and trust.

The One

Algeria strongly welcomed cooperation with China along with its search for an economic and political partner that respects Algeria’s sovereignty, ethnicity, religious, and cultural peculiarities, especially as Algeria suffered a bitter experience under the French colonial rule that deprived it of a window into global markets even after the achievement of independence, and China’s partnership seemed like an auspicious beginning for the Algerian economy. Indeed, China opened its arms to Algeria and became its largest trading partner, surpassing France that has traditionally been Algeria’s number one supplier. Both countries are committed to carrying forward their friendship in a spirit of equality and mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, and common gain. On the one hand, China attaches great importance to its bilateral relations with Algeria, which were raised to a comprehensive strategic partnership level in February 2014, and on the other hand, the Algerian government played a very important role in encouraging Chinese companies to invest in various fields, adding new depth to the Sino-Algerian relationship.

The Conclusion reviews the volume’s major themes. Russia and China have common interests that cement their partnership, and are key players in shaping the international order. Both seek better relations with the West, but on the basis of “mutual respect” and “equality.” While the relationship has grown deeper, particularly since 2014, China and Russia are partners but not allies. Thus, their relationship is marked by burgeoning cooperation, but still areas of potential competition and friction. Russia in particular must deal with China’s growing relative power at the same time that it is isolated from the West. While the Russian–Chinese relationship creates challenges for the United States and Europe and a return of major power rivalry, there is also room for cooperation in the strategic triangle comprising China, Russia, and the West. Looking ahead, the world is in a period of dramatic transition.

The paper aims to clarify the influences of collaborative culture and specific aspects of organizational learning on competitive advantage. Structural equations modeling (SEM) is applied to test degree of influence of each variable has on each other through using data collected from 298 participants at 150 large manufacturing and service firms. The result shows that organizational learning act as mediating roles in the relationship between collaborative culture and competitive advantage. Our results indicate that collaborative culture practices will yield significant effects to competitive advantage directly or indirectly through improving specifics aspects of organizational learning. The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis, which can be used to analyze relationships between collaborative culture, specifics aspects of organizational learning and competitive advantage.

Knowledge Creation And Sharing

Project-based organizations have characteristics that raise additional barriers to information management, knowledge sharing, and to organizational learning. The main causes of this are inadequate information architectures and governance, poor collaborative culture, and lack of organization-wide information management strategies. This chapter presents a comprehensive basis to understand the information and knowledge-sharing practices in PBO, as well as the methods and tools that information professionals and project managers should have in mind when performing their tasks. For that, literatures are reviewed focusing on the explanation of the processes of knowledge creation and sharing leading to organizational learning. The main conclusion is that a knowledge-sharing strategy in a PBO should include a set of mechanisms that address a customized mix of the codification and personalization dimensions and that strategies for collaborative information management should be used as enablers for embedding knowledge sharing within the organizational practices and culture.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari peran modal sossial pada aktivitas nelayan miskin, jaringan sosial masyarakat nelayan, kelembagan yang dibangun terutama kelembagaan ekonomi, serta menyusun gambaran model pengembangan kelembagaan untuk pemberdayaan nelayan miskin di Kabupaten Kebumen, Kabupaten Brebes, Kota Pekalongan, Kabupaten Batang dan Kabupaten Rembang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian mixed method kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (a) Modal alam (natural capital) pada sebelas desa sampel berupa pesisir dan lautan, dan mayoritas penduduk berpendidikan formal Sekolah Dasar (SD) dan sebagian tidak tamat SD serta berpendapatan rendah. (b) Interaksi yang lancar didukung hubungan sosial berdasarkan ikatan ketetanggaan, kekerabatan, dan keagamaan (c) Desa yang memiliki modal sosial yang paling kuat adalah Desa Tasikagung, kemudian disusul Desa Klidang Lor Kota Pekalongan, Celong Kedawung Kabupaten Batang dan Pasir Kabupaten Kebumen. Pada masyarakat desa yang memiliki modal sosial yang relatif kuat maka tingkat kesejahteraaan masyarakat cenderung tinggi dan proses transformasi sosial-ekonominya berlangsung lebih cepat. (d) Implementasi program belum mampu menjangkau warga miskin, yang semakin tidak berdaya; tidak terjadi transfer daya, karena program lebih dimanfaatkan oleh golongan masyarakat yang lebih mampu dan berpengaruh; transfer daya hanya terjadi di tingkat kelembagaan lokal yang didominasi oleh kalangan dekat kekuasaan; dan relatif tidak terjadi proses belajar sosial, karena kegiatan program lebih bernuansa ekonomis. (e) Kekuatan budaya nonmaterial atau modal sosial menjadi faktor penting mengapa masyarakat di sebelas desa sampel hinga sekarang masih bisa bertahan. Makna terbentuknya rasa saling percaya (mutual trust) adalah hasil interaksi yang melibatkan (paling tidak antar tiga) anggota masyarakat dalam suatu kelompok ketetanggaan, asosiasi tingkat dukuh, organisasi tingkat desa, dan berkembangnya sistem jaringan sosial hingga melintasi batas desa. (f) Program pemberdayaan dipengaruhi oleh kekuatan modalsosial yang dibangkitkan oleh sejumlah tata nilai (komposit) yang membentuk jaringan mutual trust, mutual respect dan mutual benefit. Rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan : (a) penguatan modal sosial seperti rasa malu/harga diri, empati, kejujuran, amanah, altruism, bervisi ke depan dan rasional menjadi penting diperhatikan; sedangkan untuk penggerak kemajuan material adalah kerja keras dan rajin, hemat, gandrung inovasi, menghargai prestasi kerja, bervisi ke depan, dan rasional. b) pemberdayaan masyarakat pedesaan terutama warga nelayan miskin melalui penguatan modal sosialnya perlu diletakk an dalam kerangka transformasi atau pembangunan masyarakat pedesaan secara berkelanjutan (c) pengembangan wilayah pesisir harus memperhatikan hubungan sosial dalam masyarakat nelayan, agar tidak mengarah pada polarisasi sosial. (d) faktor kepemimpinan 122 Jurnal Litbang Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Volume 18 Nomor 1 – Juni 2020 desa, dan petugas penyuluh menjadi penting untuk keberlanjutan sebuah program pemberdayaan dalam memberikan pembinaan untuk usaha ekonomi produktif masyarakat nelayan baik berupa pembinaan teknis maupun manajemen usaha. (e) perlu “pembinaan” pasca program oleh instansiyang berkompeten; (f) perlunya pemberdayaan masyarakat miskin lewat peningkatan koordinasi antar lembaga penanggulangan kemiskinan.

Underlying Causes

Purpose This study aims at determining the factors that favor a systematic approach to deal with complex operational and strategic problems. Management literature on problem-solving makes a clear distinction between either fixing a problem temporarily by eliminating its symptoms or solving it by diagnosing and altering underlying causes. Adopting a cognitive perspective of the dual-processing theory, this study labels these two approaches intuitive problem-solving and systematic problem-solving (SPS). While the superior effectiveness of SPS in fostering organizational learning is widely documented, existing literature fails to provide an overview of the conditions that support the adoption of SPS. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a systematic literature review to shed light on the main supporting factors of SPS in operational as well as strategic domains. Findings Seven supporting factors of SPS (namely, nature of the problem, time availability, information availability, collaborative culture, transformational leadership, organizational learning infrastructure and environmental dynamism) are first identified and then discussed in an integrative model. Originality/value This work is an original attempt to inclusively address organizational, environmental and problem nature-related factors that favor SPS adoption. By determining the SPS supporting factors, this study highlights why many organizations fail or struggle to implement and sustain SPS over time.
