“…According to Locke, GT has proved especially useful to researchers investigating organizational topics like decision-making, networks, socialization, and change. In organizational studies in particular, the focus is on group and individual behavior, and this focus captures the initial locus and interactionist tradition of GT (Fardal & Sørnes, 2008;Glaser, 1992;Locke, 2001). This, combined with its analytical and structural properties, helps explain its popularity in organizational research.…”

This study of media use and knowledge sharing within distributed organizations addresses two questions: (1) How do people combine different ICTs (information and communication technologies) when they engage in a professional knowledge-sharing network? (2) How are combinations of ICTs used when people engage in frequent as opposed to infrequent relations? Existing research exploring the role of ICTs in distributed organizational settings has tended to focus on single media use and the importance of social capital. As a result, the characteristics and consequences of multiple media use have been largely ignored.Our study reveals that people combine different ICTs all the time, but they do so relatively less often in the knowledge-sharing network, where they rely more on official channels. We also found that frequent and successful knowledge sharing correlates with each individual's willingness, and ability, to communicate their knowledge assets freely.

“…The latter predilection of change behaviour involves a reversal of the problem-solution rationality approach by individuals seeking organizational change, to a ''solution in search of a problem'' approach (Browning et al 2006). For instance, in the case of the health and medical environment, we have such institutionalized 'favourite' evidence-based KT techniques (such as clinical practice guidelines, checklists, toolkits) which may create a tendency for KT practitioners as 'solution-marketers' (Fardal and Sornes 2008) actively 'looking' for a problem for which their products provide a solution. There are inherent dangers in conceptualising problems from a solution point of view, which we suggest may contribute to the demonstrably mixed outcomes KT techniques have in isolation from other change techniques (Bero et al 1998;Rubin et al 1998), such as even producing the opposite effects for which the techniques are deployed (Kitto 2010).…”

Over the last 15 years there has been an increasingly energetic search for theories and definitions in the burgeoning area of knowledge translation (KT) in the health care context. The focus has been on the design and evaluation of KT activities with little attention to developing a considered KT theoretical/methodological approach that takes a more distanced critical inquiry to the studying of KT interventions. As such, what has been overlooked in the health professions KT literature to date is a suitably complex conceptualisation of translation that encompasses the multiplicity of KT interventions, the dynamic environments in which they are occurring, and the production of new knowledge which arises from their interactions. Attending to these epistemological issues; i.e. issues of the type of knowledge and how it is produced, is crucial to developing a relational understanding of the production and emergence of context-specific clinical knowledge and practice in KT processes. Such an approach is compared to the traditional KT evaluations by KT practitioners themselves of the compliance or non-compliance of individual and organisational behaviour change. A Sociology of KT (SKT) is proposed to complement the applied and evaluative research practice of implementing planned action KT activities. The purpose of a SKT basic research agenda is to understand both the context-specific nature of KT interventions and the epistemological premises of the activities of KT implementers themselves, in order to advance the science of KT and inform, complement and add to the success of applied and evaluative KT research in the future.

“…People are able to move, as country delegates sometimes change from one meeting to another, and only invited speakers from international organizations and contractors seem to remain unchanged during the process. Participants might have flexibility to choose where to be involved and move toward their preference (Fardal & Sørnes, 2008). Fluid participation and unclear preferences result in little stability in preferences.…”

Public sector accounting harmonization in the European Union through the lens of the garbage can model

The public sector accounting harmonization process that started in the European Union in the aftermath of the financial crisis led the European Commission to launch a project for the development of a set of European Public Sector Accounting Standards (EPSAS). This paper analyses the process and the decision-making around development of the EPSAS through the lens of the garbage can model (Cohen, M.
