Worker’s Participation in Management Decision making – with special reference...ABHISHEK SHARMA
In recent years research and discussions on workers' participation in decision-making have dominated much of management literature. In its broadest possible sense, workers' participation means wider involvement and participation by a company's employee in the decision making process of that organization. With the outbreak of the First World War, an acute industrial unrest was experienced in those countries where its impact was intense. In countries like England, West Germany, France and the USA.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is recognized as a public health crisis worldwide (IADRP, 2013). AD is a complex neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia among the elderly people (Evans et al., 1989). Currently, there are approximately five million AD cases in the United States and about 35 million cases worldwide (Alzheimer's Disease International, 2009.
The focus of this case study is on the Uniform Data Set (UDS), a longitudinal database on Alzheimer’s patients, and the 29 Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (ADC) that submit their data to the UDS and actively collaborate in the ongoing maintenance, development and research utilization of the database. The ADCs are based in major medical institutions across the United States. They have a multi-decade track record of collaborative research and a networked and virtual approach to the scientific study of AD. The central coordinating mechanism for the ADCs and the UDS is the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC), which is located at the University of Washington. The NACC coordinates data collection and supports collaborative research among the ADCs.
Relational coordination theory makes visible the social processes, the human interactions, that underly the technical process of coordinating complex work. It describes the management of interdependence not only between tasks but also between the people who perform those tasks.
Four Day Workweek Policy For Improving Employment and Environmental Condition...Sociotechnical Roundtable
Can working less lead to a healthier economy and better environmental conditions? Which factors should be taken into consideration when forming an answer to this question? In this article Nicholas Ashford and Giorgos Kallis discuss how affluent economies often have shorter work-weeks and why, under the right conditions, more free time can decrease unemployment and help develop a greener, more sustainable Europe.
This paper argues that sustainable industrial systems depends on only on good environmental and public health outcomes but also on adequate employment and earning capacity in a well-functioning and equitable economic system.
While concerns about poverty and earning capacity were raised now and then, it was only after the 2008 financial crisis that employment and the earning capacity of people were catapulted into the center stage of political discourse. Part of this discourse has focused on the relationship between employment and consumption, where the tension between providing jobs and decreasing the environmental footprint of industrialized and industrializing states was acknowledged. This relationship has historically focused on increasing production and consumption with insufficient or little regard to their effects on the environment, and energy and resource limits.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Direct and Indirect Participation in Change Processes
1. Direct and indirect participation in
change processes
Worker Voice Paper in construction
2. Why worker voice – direct and
indirect – essential
Early bird principle: involved in the beginning
stages of process means more influence on
design and process, and more time for
anticipation of changes and risks
Potential winners and loosers: TU/WC can cover
loosers and help facilitate winners and process
(social plans, training, job-to-job-transition etc.)
Opportunities for improving job quality and
creation/maintenance of employment
3. Experiences from different countries
Direct = workers covered by the change process
involved:
Proces & idea development
Special knowledge
From design to routine
Indirect: Representatives of workers (trade union,
works council) involved:
Conditions and facilities
Employment protection
Job quality (winners & loosers)
Optimization: Direct&Indirect, not very common
4. 1980-2012, AUS, US, GER, NL
Trade unions in decline, now in all 4 under 20%
density rate (UK down to just more than 25%,
but less 'coverage' than in GER/NL/FR
Work councils with legal richts in GER, NL, not in
Anglo-saxon countries
Scandinavian countries and Belgium (GHENT
countries): over 50% density
General tendency (workers voice group
discussion): also decline of worker voice in
change processes of certain scale
5. Differences 1980's and 20012
More third party involvement in promoting and
facilitating worker voice then:
government programmes still existing in Scandinavia (regional
innovation programmes bringing together many stakeholders,
research output (knowledge production on 'how to do it?'), TYKES
Finland (innovation oriented)
Structural changes towards networks, chains, global production or
service strategies, increse of SME's
diversification of the labour markets (more temps, temporay
contracts, independents)
'hollowing out of the middle' (restructuring analysis Eurofound 2012)
6. Trade unions and WC's – Boxing
and dancing strategies
Certainly when in decline unions have to combine
'boxing' (confrontation, negotiation, conflict) and
'dancing' (co-creation, co-operation, joint
problem solving and learning)
Boxing = win-loose, distrust, recognition and
visibility, certainties about position
Dancing = win-win or loose-loose, trust, long term
uncertainties
More and more unions driven to boxing and leave
indirect participation aside
7. Country sketches
GER: Then 'qualified groupwork' IG Metall,
since cycle time automotive down to less than a
minute due to global manufacturing
AUS: Then Workplace Australia, since Howard
government destruction of a national framework
US: Last 'good examples' date from beginning
2000
NL: Many big projects with both IP and DP
then, now unions more on distance, works
councils still facilities to participate (2007-2007:
Dutch Institue for Social Innovation)
