“…Chewning et al investigated how information systems facilitate information sharing with respect to communicating with the public, but again this was concerned with response rather than resilience planning (2012). The same is true for a study on the relationship between trust and information sharing by Ibrahim and Allen (2012), or an investigation of information sharing in high velocity environments by Allen et al (2014) and a development of emergency data standards for information sharing by Chen et al (2008).…”

Port resilience planning is a subset of the wider disaster resilience literature and it is concerned with how port stakeholders work together to make port systems more resilience. Port stakeholders include government departments, the port operator, ship operators, importers, agents and logistics firms. Ports are vital for the operation of cities and whole countries, especial island nations like the UK. Single port systems are multi-level systems with complex operational-level relationships and interdependencies. Additional levels to this include government and the policy-level. Preparing for the crises and disasters that might befall ports requires information sharing between stakeholders about key dependencies and alternative actions. The complexity of ports presents barriers to information sharing; as do commercial and political sensitivities. This paper uses a multi-level case study on the UK's system of ports to propose an approach to information sharing that uses the subjectivity of information from a supplier's perspective and from a user's perspective to reduce barriers of complexity, confidentiality and political sensitivity.

“…While activity theory is an expansive theoretical approach and tradition, we draw upon Engeström's (1999b) "third generation" activity theory and its related conceptual tools to understand social-action, activity, change and multiple networks of interacting activity systems, and in particular, the use of activity systems, as per our recent work (Allen et al, 2013a;Allen et al, 2013b;Karanasios & Allen 2013). …”

Mobile technology and the information and communication services supported by it have become increasingly embedded in, and in some cases transformed, work and social activity and created new challenges for studying information systems. This paper focuses on the experience with mobile technology in an inherently mobile and information intensive work activity -policing. Drawing upon data from this context this paper makes two key sets of contributions. Empirically, we illuminate the congruencies and contradictions between mobile technology and mobile working, and the relationship between the two, revealing a state of change based upon dialectic interaction. We highlight several ways in which mobile technology has changed the nature of mobile work activity. Theoretically we advance the use of activity theory to better understand the changes of mobile technology mediated work. We extend traditional use of activity theory by adopting congruencies as an analytical lens, in addition to the approach of examining contradictions. The findings are applicable to other areas of mobile work and contribute to the body of knowledge concerning mobile technology mediated work.

“…Ook informatiedeling en het omgaan met verschillen in werkwijzen, organisatiecultuur en verschillende doelstellingen wordt genoemd als een belangrijke factor in het verbeteren van de bestrijding van incidenten (e.g. Allen, Karanasios & Norman 2013;Mishra, Allen & Pearman 2011;Treurniet, Logtenberg & Groenewegen 2014). Opvallend genoeg beperkt dat onderzoek zich grotendeels tot het terrein van de fysieke veiligheid.…”

“…Het onderzoek maakt onderdeel uit van een onderzoeksprogramma dat gericht is op de multidisciplinaire samenwerking binnen het veiligheidsdomein in Nederland. 1 Uitgangspunt van het onderzoek is het inzicht dat professionals binnen het domein van veiligheid allen vanuit hun eigen specialistische kennis een essentiële bijdrage leveren aan de beheersing en bestrijding van crisissituaties en incidenten, maar dat samenwerking met andere partijen bemoeilijkt kan worden door hun specifieke disciplinaire en organisatieculturele perspectieven (Allen et al 2013). In deze bijdrage willen wij beargumenteren dat het onderscheid tussen de werkvelden van fysieke en sociale veiligheid vanuit theoretisch en organisatorisch oogpunt weliswaar logisch is, maar dat dit ervoor zorgt dat er onvoldoende aandacht is voor de multidisciplinaire aspecten van veiligheid over de grenzen van deze werkvelden heen.…”

“…De samenwerkingsverbanden tussen partijen in het veiligheidsdomein tijdens de bestrijding van crises en onveilige situaties kunnen worden gezien als (ad hoc) genetwerkte organisaties waarbinnen vaak spanningen bestaan tussen de werkwijzen, opvattingen en belangen van de verschillende partijen (Allen 2013;Treurniet et al 2014). Om deze samenwerking te verbeteren is het van belang dat er een passende regiestructuur ontstaat.…”
