Management of International Institutions and NGOs. Frameworks, practices and challenges
No full textInternational Institutions (IIs), International NGOs (INGOs) and Transnational Hybrid Organizations (THOs) play a hugely important role in the modern world economy. Despite having been studied by scholars from a range of disciplines, these organizations have never before been approached from a management perspective. This ambitious book analyzes the management challenges associated with interna- tional cooperation and sheds light on how these organizations have evolved as the political, economic and business environments have changed around them. The authors cover an admirably broad canvas by including topics such as program delivery modalities, strategic management, financial and human resource manage- ment. This book is based on a strong ‘hands on’ approach and includes several case studies illustrating the practices and challenges of real organizations, from the World Bank to the Gates Foundation

Getting Health Reforms Right: what lessons from an Italian case
No full textOver the past few years (2001–2007), the Italian National Health Service has been undergoing an important process of decentralization with a significant transfer of powers and responsibilities from the central government to the Regions. In this context, a particularly innovative example is represented by the case of Marche Region that extensively reformed its health-care system. For the analysis of this case, we used a theoretical framework that describes a health-care system in terms of components and goals. Policy-makers can act on the structural components of the system influencing the behaviour of individuals and organizations in order to lead the system towards the achievement of key performance goals. Marche regional Government was able to improve the system in crucial areas (clinical appropriateness and economic equilibrium) by intervening on institutional arrangements (particularly on the number and dimension of health-care delivery organizations) and on key control knobs (particularly planning and control mechanisms and the information system). Some conditions have allowed Marche policy-maker to successfully carry out this extensive process of reforms, particularly: (1) a shared sense of urgency; (2) agreement on the identification of problems and on the relative reform strategies to adopt; (3) coordination of all change strategies through a precise and clear long-term plan aimed at developing an integrated health-care delivery network
IPSAS adoption by the World Food Programme: An Application of the Contingency Model to Intergovernmental Organizations
No full textThis paper intends to contribute to the body of literature that explores the drivers and reasons for public sector organizations’ accounting reforms. In 2009, the World Food Programme (WFP) became the first United Nations system organization to successfully implement International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and full accruals accounting. This paper reviews the applicability of the contingency model (Lueder, 1992) and its subsequent version (Financial Management Reform model, Lueder, 2002) to intergovernmental organizations such as those making up the United Nations system. The WFP’s case is presented through the conceptual lens of the contingency framework and the case study findings are then used to further develop the contingency model for application to accounting reforms in intergovernmental organizations
