Senior clinicians role profiling: a qualitative evaluation
No full textThis report investigates findings arising from interviews with nine senior clinicians at Cumbria Partnership Foundation Trust (henceforth CPFT), evaluating their experiences of using the Senior Clinicians’ Role Profile tool (henceforth SCRP) during its pilot in 2013. The SCRP itself was developed for use by senior clinicians working at/towards an accountable decision-making level in response to requests for a tool that would describe the leadership competencies and behaviours of a corporate clinician. Using the SCRP is intended to provide “details of behaviours that are highly relevant to success in a senior clinician role,” and “valuable information regarding your strengths and areas for development.” (NHS North West Leadership Academy, 2012, p.4)

Adapting to a new role: a study designed to help senior managers adapt to new positions after organisation restructuring
No full textThe work on which this thesis is based, studies the implementation phase of the total organisation restructure of the National Health Service in 1974 as experienced by a large group of Senior Pharmaceutical Managers who found it difficult to establish themselves in their new positions. The study starts in 1976 and researches to identify the nature and cause of the difficulties facing the managers. It is concluded that the probable cause is rooted in the sudden destruction of mechanisms developed before 1974 to assist new managers establish themselves in their positions. A solution is designed and tested before being implemented with the Senior Pharmaceutical Managers, By 1977 it had become clear that a similar situation faced other large groups of Senior Managers belonging to the Nursing and Works professions of the Health Service. As a result the project and study is continued to help these two other professions and with apparent equal success until 1985.A number of objectives are met during this study. A system is developed for facilitating role identification and implementation during a period of organisation restructuring as a means to help new managers adapt and become established in equally new positions. In addition this project is an example of the use of collaboration as a method to assist large numbers of senior managers belonging to Health Service professions meet radically new demands of role

Changing perceptions of meritocracy in senior women's careers
No full textPurpose – The aim of this paper is to explore how an elite group of senior women in banking represent and describe their understanding and experience of the role of meritocracy, within the context of their own career. Design/methodology/approach – Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 33 senior female directors from six global investment banks. Template analysis was used in the qualitative analysis of the coding. Findings – The paper found that the women's adherence to the notion of meritocracy diminished over time, as merit appeared to be less defined by human capital (ability and experience) and more by social capital (seen as political behaviour). The paper also reveals how the concept is construed on two levels: first, on a symbolic level, demonstrating how the organization defines and rewards success; second, on a personal level, how it affects the individual's cognitions, emotions and self-belief. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the small literature on the concept of meritocracy in the management field, with an emphasis on the experiences of successful female directors in global investment banks.Gender in Management: An International Journa

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Senior Citizen Access to and Utilization of the Farmers’ Market: A Holland Michigan Study
No full textThis research examines whether or not senior citizens in the Holland, Michigan area have access to and use of the local farmers’ market. The intent is to determine any access issues the elderly population may have in the availability of fresh nutritious produce. It is assumed that many elderly people have poor health, are on a fixed income, have a lack of transportation, and suffer from decreased mobility and social isolation. Because of these limitations senior citizens may not be able to easily obtain fresh produce which may, in turn, impact the nutrition of this group

The Global University: The Role of Senior Managers
No full textContributors address the role of senior managers in relation to internationalisation, globalisation, and sustainable development and share how these often overlapping challenges can be addressed. Consideration has been given to a range of potentially competing demands including the relationship between what Paul Luker describes as the 'core mission and values of HE' and what Caruana and Hanstock describe as 'marketisation discourse'.
The Global University: The Role of Senior Manager is written by higher education institution senior managers, for HEI senior managers. Supported by HEFCE Leadership, Governance and Management Funding, 'The Global University: the role of senior managers' is a companion publication to 'The Global University: the role of the curriculum'.
Many of the contributors are regarded as critical champions of internationalisation in the UK as well as thoughtful strategists in the process of affecting sustainable university-wide change.
To provide further food for thought, in addition to the UK contributions, a case study on university-wide approaches to the development of global citizens at the University of British Columbia and a perspective on the barriers affecting the process of internationalisation in Latin American Universities have also been included.
Contributors address key concepts from a variety of perspectives and what will quickly become apparent is that the terms are not always translated in quite the same way (a way of seeing is also a way of not seeing) but in spite of this, collectively, considerable insight for moving the agenda forward is provided.
At the very least, the publication will serve to inspire debate on what should constitute the vision, mission and values of a global university, within the context of global society. Given the global footprint of universities and the ability of our graduates to influence change in global society, the publication maintains that universities cannot ignore their corporate and social responsibilities: senior managers have a critical role to play as leaders of this agenda and of change that results in positive benefits for a wider stakeholder group
