Report of Governor Johan Rising, 1655, on New Sweden
No full textGovernor Johan Rising reports to the Swedish government and royalty on the status of New Sweden (present-day New Jersey). He also reports on other Swedish colonies in the area. He asks that single women and skilled tradesmen be sent to the colonies. Rising also reports that attacks from neighboring Indian tribes are increasing. He has found some protection by forming an alliance with English settlers, but the cost is high, and his colony owes the English money and supplies. Rising asks that Sweden send them money so that they can pay off their debts, build ships that would establish a trading dominance with the West Indies, and cultivate land and crops to gain more profit. Reports from New World governors were sent back to their native countries via ships. Rising sent this report in June of 1655, but Sweden did not recieve the report until November of 1655.

Report of Governor Johan Printz, 1647, on New Sweden
No full textGovern Johan Printz, the governor of New Sweden (later to become New Jersey), reports on the status of the colony and the settlers. Many freemen have arrived to settle in New Sweden, but the criminals and military men who were conscripted to the colony want to return to Sweden. Of the freemen, very few are skilled, so Governor Printz asks that blacksmiths, tanners, tailors, carpenters, and butchers be sent to the colony. Additionally, he asks for single women. Printz also reports on two new Swedish colonies that have been established along the Delaware River. However, Dutch settlers have become very aggressive by re-purchasing land from the Indians that the Swedish had already bought. They are also interrupting trade between the Swedes and the Indians, as well as instigating the Indians to attack the Swedes. Printz directed the construction of some storage houses along common trade routes to win back trade from the Indians. However, fighting has erupted between different Native tribes as each tries to establish dominance in trading with the colonies.

Relation of the surrender of New Sweden, by Governor Johan Clason Rising, 1655
No full textGovernor Johan Rising of New Sweden reports to Sweden on the August 1655 Dutch attack on New Sweden's Fort Christina. The Dutch traveled from New Amsterdam (present-day New York) and easily captured a New Sweden outpost. Rising sent men to the outpost to fend of the Dutch, but the Dutch defeated them and took them as prisoners, leaving Fort Christina without fighting men and supplies. The Dutch then put the Fort under seige. A few days later, Rising surrendered the Fort. He and the Swedish colonists were ordered to either return to Sweden, or to remain in the New World in service to the Dutch.

Qualitative Analysis of Online News Media Articles to Explore the Mobilization of Megaproject Narratives
No full textMegaprojects combine multiple external stakeholders, and a common narrative is essential to drive the project among often conflicting objectives. The research project considers the single in-depth qualitative case study of the High Speed Two (HS2) megaproject in the UK to explore how narratives are mobilized through narrative instruments and processes. Since the focus is on narratives, 113 online news articles on the megaproject are systematically studied. A qualitative analysis using open codes and axial codes is employed to understand the narrative instruments and processes. The “talk the walk” strategy to improve the rigor in qualitative research is described. The use of power quotes and proof quotes to reduce the word count while not compromising on the trustworthiness of qualitative research is explained. Finally, the case offers guidelines on the use of online naturalistic data such as digital news media data to explore project management practice in the 21st century.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Integral Design & Managemen
Using Innovation Stories From Digital Platforms to Explore What Motivates Innovation
No full textThe objective of this research study was to investigate the role of narratives in shaping multiple innovations in the UK construction industry. A total of 133 innovation stories published in a year are compiled from a digital portal Infrastructure Industry Innovation Partnership (i3P). The stories are qualitatively analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and constant comparisons to understand their motivations. The resulting framework explains how narrative shapes innovation across health, safety, sustainability, and productivity. The use of online research methods has increased in the modern era with the internet becoming more interactive and ubiquitous. However, there is still limited knowledge on how to handle these large amounts of digital data. In this case study, we provide some practical steps to improve data collection, analysis and presentation of online data. All innovations for a year were collected to get a representative sample without excluding any to reduce the researcher bias of exclusion. During presentation of findings, steps were undertaken to guard the privacy of respondents.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Integral Design & Managemen

Mobilizing megaproject narratives for external stakeholders: A study of narrative instruments and processes
No full textMegaprojects combine multiple external stakeholders, and a common narrative is essential to drive the project among often conflicting objectives. Narratives help organize people toward an agenda and therefore have performative and strategic implications. In this research, we explore how narratives are mobilized through narrative instruments and processes using the case study of the High Speed Two (HS2) megaproject in the United Kingdom. We record the use of three instruments—stories, labels, and comparisons—that undergo four processes: repeating, endorsing, humorizing, and actioning. These instruments and processes enable megaprojects to mobilize a narrative that helps in managing external stakeholders
