“…A learning organization culture stimulates individual excellence as well as team learning across the various sub-organizations that may be involved. It implies the creation of a shared overall picture that encourages entrepreneurship toward common goals that go beyond the traditional procurement practices that often discourage effective learning practices, and explains why the construction industry allows the continuation of 'reinventing the wheel' and experience of good practice is often wasted (Biloslavo & Friedl, 2009).…”

“…Each method of company change is optimal in different circumstances, and its selection is influenced by many factors in a company's internal and external environment (Biloslavo & Friedl, 2009). The batteries of change model allows project managers to go beyond their traditional role and to pick up their role as agents of change by building energy for change in six critical domains.…”

“…This includes well known practices relating to traditional project and program management, but also stretches the importance of various other factors that are needed to assure balance and flow of change energy from a more holistic perspective. As each method of company change (formal or information, local or global) is optimal in different circumstances, and its selection is influenced by many factors in a company's internal and external environment (Biloslavo & Friedl, 2009), the batteries of change model can help to identify the most appropriate change strategy within a given context. It allows change managers to navigate the organization through the complexity of multiple variables (context, political processes and consultation) by identifying the range of change options based on a holistic assessment of the six batteries of change.…”

Although it is generally understood that change is a fundamental component of managing projects in the construction industry in general and an inevitable challenge for large scale infrastructure project in particular, there has been little to no attention in the literature to understand change in this context from a more holistic perspective. For this purpose, this work looks at change through the eyes of a framework of six batteries of change that seem essential to charge an organization's capabilities for change. The framework brings together the expertise of four specialists that all have developed their insights over many years of study and practice, and has been validated through an extensive review of the management literature on organization development and change. Reflections on the application of this model in the construction industry and in large scale infrastructure projects demonstrate that energizing organizations to successfully deal with change goes beyond the traditional techniques of managing change from a program or project management perspective. Assessing the six batteries of change in this context can help organizations to develop capabilities for change that build change energy by balancing formal/rational methods with informal/emotional interventions at both a local (department/ subproject) and global (business) level.

“…Yet the development of an effective carbon management strategy in a turbulent environment is not simple (Gurkov 2009;Heyder/Theuvsen 2008;Karhunen 2008). It entails contemplating a variety of risk factors (Biloslavo/Friedl 2009;Niederhut-Bollmann/Theuvsen 2008;Trkman/McKormack 2009) such as future movements of fuel prices, potential regulatory changes, technological options, or financing and taxation issues. The development of such a strategy is further complicated because many carbon alleviation strategies require large capital expenditures and long lead times for their execution (Sandoff/Schaad 2009).…”

A new perspective on the sequence of economic policy transformation and regulation: An empirical analysis from the developing economy

This paper proposes strategies for the gradual and secure transition to a heavily regulated economy. This paper uses a multidisciplinary approach with stylized data obtained from the World Bank for 63 countries between 1980 and 2021. The findings recommend prioritizing macroeconomic stabilization, which includes fiscal consolidation and low inflation, to establish the foundation for subsequent reforms. Subsequently, the government should implement measures to eliminate distortions in domestic goods, labor, and capital markets, thereby enhancing its capacity to collect non-inflationary taxes and generate income. Next, liberalizing international trade can be undertaken to remove quotas, tariffs, and other direct administrative controls. The subsequent phase entails the liberalization of the capital account, aiming to alleviate constraints on both inward and outward flows of foreign direct investment, portfolio investment, and the utilization of long- and short-term financial instruments. Yet, opening the economy is not sufficient. A successful structural transformation needs to be facilitated by upgrading products and services as well as diversifying the manufacturing base to consistently facilitate the process of structural change and maintain economic growth. During the transition period, a stronger constitutional order and rule of law are needed to minimize rent-seeking, which would impede the complete transition.
