Este es un artículo de reflexión que describe la evolución del proceso de implantación del sistema de justicia penal en México. El método de investigación fue la observación participante y la investigación--acción como resultado de la participación en diecisiete seminarios de prediagnóstico en los estados de la república mexicana. Las categorías de análisis fueron las siguientes: características de organización y desempeño del órgano implementador federal Secretariado Técnico para la reforma del sistema de justicia penal (Setec), modelo de evaluación de avances de la reforma, tipología de implantaciones de la reforma y resultados del seminario de prediagnóstico de implantación en diecisiete entidades. Como resultado de lo anterior se concluye que la reforma ha avanzado en México a cuatro velocidades, que la Setec ha tenido un bajo desempeño como órgano implementador debido a sus constantes cambios de líderes y a su desestructurada orientación estratégica y su diseño organizativo y que d mejor modelo de implantación es el que se hace por regiones y que los sistemas de justicia estudiados, siendo muy diferentes en tamaño y complejidad, comparten una problematica común.This is an article of reflection that describes the evolution of the process of implanting the Criminal Justice System in Mexico. The research method used was that of participant observation and action-research as a result of participation in 17 pre-diagnosis seminars in the states of the Mexican republic. The analysis categories were the following: organizational characteristic. and performance of the implementing agency - the Technical Secretariat for Reform of the Criminal Justice System (SETEC), the model for evaluating advances in the reform, typology of implantations of the reform and results of the implantation pre-diagnosis seminar in 17 entities. As a result of the above, it was concluded that: the reform has advanced at four different speeds in Mexico, the SETEC has had poor performance as an implementing entity due to constant changes of its leaders and its unstructured strategic orientation and its organizational design, and the best model of implantation is that which is done by regions and that the justice systems studied, while very different in size and complexity, share common problematic characteristics.

This paper focuses on measuring the alignment of organizational elements. Although several authors have analyzed this topic, there are few papers in which they propose a concept for measuring the alignment of key elements of the organization. In previous research, the concept of alignment is usually defined through categorical variables and different organizational configurations are suggested. Thus, this paper aims to propose a new approach to measuring organizational elements and their alignment. Based on the literature review we determined the organizational model for conducting the research in companies listed on the top 300 companies in Serbia. On the sample of 57 respondents theresults confirmed the defined hypothesis by which the alignment of the organizational elements has the positive correlation with the organizational performance. In order to measure the organizational elements we defined the 7-level scale which enables measuring the alignment of organizational elements. The research results confirm that it is necessary to look at the solutions based on some organizational elements simultaneously. However, in order to confirm the validity and reliability of the results, it is necessary to conduct a research on a larger sampling frame, since the sample from this research is relatively small in comparison to the total population. The defined scale can be used as a control tool for checking the proposed organizational design solutions in practice. Also, the rules of alignment of organizational elements can be applied at different hierarchical levels in the organization, which will be the subject of future research of the authors.

Work Done

The motivational drivers of open source software developers have been researched by various investigators since about 2000. This work shows that developers are motivated by different extrinsic and intrinsic drivers, among them community aspirations, reciprocity and fairness, creative impulses, and monetary and career ambitions. There has been some work done in studying whether the profile of developer motivations is constant across open source projects or is sensitive to project organizational design. Among the many factors that could influence the mix of motives of OS developers is the license under which the work is performed. Licenses range in openness between those such as the GNU GPL that severely restrict the freedom of developers to mingle their OS code with proprietary code to those such as BSD licenses which allow programmers much greater latitude in integrating open source code with proprietary code. In addition to formal rules, meritocracies emerge to reward effort and performance, and also to direct, coordinate, and control other participants. The authors discuss these variables and how they may be related to motivations.

Building on new insights from organizational economics, management accounting researchers have highlighted how incentive contracts and performance measure choices complement structural arrangements in firms. We discuss how “slow-moving” elements in organizational design, such as the allocation of decision rights to local managers and interdependencies between different parts of the production function, affect the working of incentives and performance measures. We pay attention to the empirical challenges that researchers face in this area and argues that mixed-method approaches in which economic models are combined with empirical evidence can help to build a body of evidence that is robust and admits cross-study accumulation of knowledge. Finally, we illustrate how recent economic models that incorporate other-regarding preferences can help to bridge the gap between economics-based research in management accounting and more traditional approaches that rely on the behavioral sciences.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how and with which mechanisms health care professionals in practice design for collaboration to solve collective hospital tasks, which cross occupational and departmental boundaries.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth multiple-case study of five departments across four hospitals facing fast to slow response task requirements was carried out using interviews and observations. The selected cases were revealing as the departments had designed and formalized their daily hospital operations differently to solve collaboration and performance issues.FindingsLocal collaboration across occupational and departmental boundaries requires bundles of behavioral formalization elements (e.g. standardized plans, resource allocation decisions, assigned formal roles, and handoff routines), and liaison devices (e.g. huddles, boards, and physical proximity), which are used in parallel or sequence. The authors label this “designed collaboration bundles.” These bundles supplement the central organizational structures, processes, and support systems less capable of ensuring fluent coordination at the front line.Practical implicationsHealth care professionals and hospital managers can consider designing bundles of organizational design features to proactively develop and ensure collaboration capable of solving collective tasks and bridging departmental and occupational silos to improve health care delivery.Originality/valueThis research paper addresses the fundamental organizational challenge of how to achieve efficient collaboration by studying how formal structures and processes are used in combination on the hospital floor, thereby going beyond previous research that studies these mechanisms individually.

Purpose This paper aims to trace the performance consequences of within-lead firm reconfigurations of global value chains with respect to business performance and upgrading. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on two detailed company case studies which are analysed in an organizational design approach. Findings Lead firms systematically separate and internalize high value-added activities in otherwise low value-added processes leading to constant reconfigurations and reorganizations of the production processes in global value chains. The study finds that similar reconfigurations may trigger different changes and changes and performance consequences may differ considerably according to the level of analysis. The two cases help to understand the specific roles of the outsourcing and offshoring decisions in shaping actual global value chain structures. Originality/value The consequences of within-lead firm reconfigurations are rarely analysed in the literature.
