Indicators at the interface : managing policymaker-researcher collaboration
The knowledge transfer literature encourages partnerships between researchers and policymakers for the purposes of policy-relevant knowledge creation. Consequently, research findings are more likely to be used by policymakers during policy development. This paper presents a set of practice-based indicators that can be used to manage the collaborative knowledge creation process or assess the per…

Policy as a struggle for meaning : disentangling knowledge translation across…
Over the last decade, research in medical science has focused on knowledge translation and diffusion of best practices to enable improved health outcomes. However, there has been less attention given to the role of policy in influencing the translation of best practice across different national contexts. This paper argues that the underlying set of public discourses of healthcare policy signifi…

Social capital as knowledge facilitator : evidence from Latvia
This paper investigates knowledge acquisition through social ties. This issue has proved important in organizational studies as a mechanism of value creation. Recently, it has also been identified in regional studies as a factor behind regional development and consensus building. Policies are therefore needed to support such knowledge acquisition. The approach is based on the concepts of knowle…

Research on tacit knowledge integration : a synthesis of social ties and TMS
Tacit knowledge integration which has been receiving more and more attention in the management literature is embedded in societal activities and interactions. Social networks (SN), as the prior channel of knowledge search and transmission has been applied broadly in knowledge management. With the tendency of increasing interest in knowledge management, few literatures study the effect of SN on …

Different views of history : Shades of irredentism along the Laos–Cambodia …
The administrative boundary between Laos and Cambodia is amongst the least studied international borders in Southeast Asia. Since Laos and Cambodia became independent in 1953–54, relatively minor but sustained tensions have characterised border relations. An important reason for disagreements is irredentist feelings. Some ethnic Lao in both Laos and Cambodia believe that part of northeastern Ca…

Rethinking Cambodian political discourse on territory : Genealogy of the Budd…
Despite their profound differences all of Cambodia's post-independence regimes have exhibited a unique obsession with protecting the country's borders from the depredations of neighbouring states. Some of this is fall-out from the colonial inheritance but this paper argues that older indigenous categories related to Theravada Buddhism have also played a significant role in the aetiology of mode…

Cambodia has been governed by the same, relatively fixed, elite since the Vietnamese removal of the Khmer Rouge from power in early 1979. This article provides an analysis of the dynamic interplay of external and internal factors that have contributed to the perpetuation of this elite's rule in the context of a nominal political and economic transition that might have been expected to undermine…

‘They have not progressed enough’: Development's negated identities among…
This paper is ethnographically concerned with two different orang asli communities: the Meniq living in Southern Thailand and the Orang Sakai in Riau, Indonesia. The focus is on the different discursive rhetorics of development in the two nation-states. These rhetorics have been absorbed by the two indigenous groups to form part of their own modern cultural discourses within their respective co…

This paper is an effort to examine the dynamics of a major famine in the private domains of Indramayu and Kandanghaur in 1883–84, which was reportedly a result of drought, but a closer look at the evidence, including a unique survey of peasant families engulfed in the famine, reveals a rather complex situation. The local peasantry confined to a narrow subsistence economy found its food supply b…

A traffic in Songket : Translocal Malay identities in Sambas
This paper uses the example of songket to explore translocal Malay cultural processes in Sambas, West Kalimantan. I argue these intra-Malay cultural exchanges reframe selected Sambas Malay cultural forms as Malay ‘cultural heritage’, making it difficult to view cultural practices in purely localised terms. Consequently, many cultural forms lose their localised normative values and become aspect…

Employing the framework of emotional contagion, this study investigated the link between group interaction sequences (specifically complaining and interest-in-change messages) and group mood. Fifty-two work group discussions from two German industrial enterprises were coded with the act4teams category system (e.g., Lehmann-Willenbrock & Kauffeld). Lag sequential analysis revealed complaining as…

Knowledge-intensive teams rely on the task-relevant knowledge held by members to perform effectively. In this article, we focus on critical knowledge, defined as the most influential information, know-how, or feedback that contributes directly to task outcomes. From a social network perspective, the critical knowledge structure in a team can be defined by who shares critical knowledge with whom…

The Effects of Physical Threat on Team Processes During Complex Task Performance
Teams have become the norm for operating in dangerous and complex situations. To investigate how physical threat affects team performance, 27 three-person teams engaged in a complex planning and problem-solving task, either under physical threat or under normal conditions. Threat consisted of the possibility that during task performance the oxygen level would be reduced (which, in reality, did …

Interpersonal citizenship behavior (ICB) in organizations is an inherently relational and multilevel phenomenon. Using a multilevel framework, this study investigates the different levels of social network antecedents of ICBs. Specifically, the authors examine the effects of individual-level network characteristics (centrality and transitivity) and group-level network properties (density and ce…

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS : ADDED VALUE BY ORGANIZATIONAL FORM OR MANAGEMENT?
The central idea of public private partnerships (PPPs) is that added value can be achieved from greater co-operation between public and private actors. In general, the literature speaks of PPPs in which public and private actors develop a more or less sustainable co-operation through which they realize products, services, or policies together, share risks, and develop an organizational form to …

These network institutions configure democratic legitimacy and accountability in various ways, but little is known about how managers-as-designers think about democracy. This Q methodology study…

HOW POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS NETWORK : A COMPARISON ACROSS GOVERNMENTS
Effective public administration relies on the passage of information through interpersonal communication networks. While we have a vast research literature concerning formal structures and roles in organizations, including public agencies and government institutions, we know far less about the flow of information through semiformal, voluntary interactions. In this paper we use a large survey to…
