The aim of this article is to develop a conceptual model of the institutional analysis, planning and control comprehensive system, which, according to the authors’ point of view, has to be integrated organically into the overall system of the governmental management. The article starts with the analysis of the of the “new institutional economics” methodology’s contributions to theoretical research in the area of applied economics, with particular emphasis to developing countries, particularly to Ukraine. Then authors continue by providing an overview of the new institutional economics theory and methodology as well as their several branches. Particularly, it is described the authors’ point of view in regard to the fundamental definitions of the institutional theory. One of the article’s purposes is to outline the basic features of the institutional planning theory and to justify its interpretation in the general planning theory framework. Carrying out this task, the authors describe the existing diversity of planning theories and the main achievements of the new institutional economics in the development and implementation of planning procedures. From authors’ point of view, institutional planning is the economic theory in which planning is described as the sequence of actions of organizations or/and people responsible for planning procedures and stakeholders in order to get the immediate and final planning results. The successful implementation of such model would help the planners and stakeholders to get the results that consist in the effectiveness of the national economy and its competitiveness.

Within the information systems field, reference models have been known for many years. A reference model is a conceptual framework and may be used as a blueprint for information systems development. Despite the relevance of reference model quality, little research has been undertaken on their systematical analysis and evaluation. In this chapter, we describe how reference models can be analyzed from an ontological point of view. Such an analysis consists of four steps: 1) developing a transformation mapping, 2) identifying ontological modeling deficiencies, 3) transforming the reference model, and 4) assessing the results. The usefulness of our method will be demonstrated by analyzing Scheer’s reference model for production planning and control. Although our approach is based on sound theory, we argue that this approach is not inherently superior to other approaches of reference model analysis and evaluation.

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is useful for planning and control of complex projects. The CPM identifies the critical activities in the critical path of an activity network. The successful implementation of CPM requires the availability of clear determined time duration for each activity. However, in practical situations this requirement is usually hard to fulfil since many of activities will be executed for the first time. Hence, there is always uncertainty about the time durations of activities in the network planning. This has led to the development of fuzzy CPM. In this paper, a new approach of ranking fuzzy numbers using centroid of centroids of fuzzy numbers to its distance from original point is proposed. The proposed method can rank all types of fuzzy numbers including crisp numbers with different membership functions. The authors apply the proposed ranking method to develop a new fuzzy CPM. The proposed method is illustrated with an example.

The Eu

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the economic worthiness of the service concession to mixed companies (iPPP), which represents a form of partnership substantially neglected by economic literature. Our underlying objective is to provide New Institutional Economics with some evidence to show how such a theory could contribute to attain further and concrete advances in local utilities regulation. Beyond the competitive tendering for selecting the provider or the private partner, execution drawbacks arising during the concession contract need to be approached in a more rigorous way: opportunistic behaviours and moral hazard will affect negatively the outcome of PPPs as well as non-transparent and non-objective award procedures. IPPP has been carrying out a fundamental function in regulating local utilities, in as much its particular structure allows the public sector to maintain an insider's point of view over the service management and represents an extraordinary instrument to cope with the shortcomings arising from private opportunistic conducts.

This article discusses the use of institutional theory in management accounting research. Three different types of institutional theory are described and their use in studying management accounting change is explained: new institutional economics (NIE), new institutional sociology (NIS) and old institutional economics (OIE). Whereas NIE and NIS study how external economic and institutional (i.e., social and political) pressures influence the way organisations are structured and the nature of their management accounting and control practices, OIE focuses on the institutions (ways of thinking) within organisations and the internal pressures and constraints that shape management accounting practices. It is recognised that management accounting change is a complex and multi-dimensional process, and it is shown that institutional theory can highlight the different aspects of the ‘mish-mash’ of inter-related influences. Furthermore, it is explained how taken-for-granted ways of thinking within an organisation can have a direct and important impact on the success (or failure) of a programme of management accounting change.

Within the information systems field, reference models have been known for many years. A reference model is a conceptual framework and may be used as a blueprint for information systems development. Despite the relevance of reference model quality, little research has been undertaken on their systematical analysis and evaluation. In this chapter, we evaluate Scheer’s reference model for production planning and control systems from an ontological point of view. The evaluation is based on the Bunge-Wand-Weber ontology. Several ontological anomalies are found in Scheer’s reference model. The obtained knowledge is useful for selecting, applying, and extending the reference model.

Abstract:This article briefly describes some of the intellectual challenges during the last half-century to the traditional fields of economics and political science: the public choice approach, the tragedy of the commons debate, the ‘new’ institutional economics, and behavioral game theory. Then, the components of a basic institutional analysis framework are presented that provide a general method for analyzing public economies and diverse forms of collective action. Empirical research related to metropolitan public economies, common-pool resources, and behavioral game theory is summarized that has contributed to the field of institutional analysis. The last section concludes that the macro foundations of institutional analysis appear firmer than the micro foundations related to the model of the individual to be used and discusses this puzzle.

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is useful for planning and control of complex projects. The CPM identifies the critical activities in the critical path of an activity network. The successful implementation of CPM requires the availability of clear determined time duration for each activity. However, in practical situations this requirement is usually hard to fulfil since many of activities will be executed for the first time. Hence, there is always uncertainty about the time durations of activities in the network planning. This has led to the development of fuzzy CPM. In this paper, a new approach of ranking fuzzy numbers using centroid of centroids of fuzzy numbers to its distance from original point is proposed. The proposed method can rank all types of fuzzy numbers including crisp numbers with different membership functions. The authors apply the proposed ranking method to develop a new fuzzy CPM.

This chapter analyses the motivations of economic actors in classical Athens from the point of view of modern behavioural economics. The (now) old orthodoxy of M.I. Finley, drawing on Bücher and Weber, stressed that the so‐ called homo economicus did not exist until recent times: in antiquity, an anti‐productive mentality was essentially hard‐wired into the minds of elite Greeks and Romans, preventing economic development. This approach has been widely rejected in recent years, and in particular the methods of New Institutional Economics (NIE) have provided a way around the moribund formalist‐primitivist debate. Yet whilst NIE has provided a set of important analytical tools, it would be an exaggeration to claim that these tools can solve every problem relating to economic activity in antiquity; here, the insights of behavioural economics can assist us in understanding economic activity in past societies.

This paper presents a proposed research methodology undertaken by a researcher to investigate the most accurate and appropriate method to generate a cradle to grave cost planning for Industrialised Building System (IBS) in the Malaysian construction industry. The methodology was intended to bring out accurate results and provide useful sources for the induction of emerging insights relating to the problem identified, which is how the current cost planning used for IBS projects helps in terms of cost control from pre-contract until the demolition of the building. At the end of this research, a proposed cradle to grave cost planning method was produced. To achieve the aims and objectives of this research, both quantitative and qualitative methods were applied. A quantitative research method in the form of a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate which method is mostly used in preparing cost planning for IBS both from contractors’ and consultants’ point of view. The next stage of data collection was involved in-depth qualitative investigation using face-to face interviews meant to get in-depth views of each cost planning method’s advantages and barriers and what does it need to include to produce an effective cost planning for IBS elements. To complete the triangulation approach, expert group participations and validation were conducted to contribute essential thoughts in producing a comprehensive cradle to grave cost planning method, as well as validating the findings from the research. This method offers alternatives of cost planning and control over the project, and suitable for either IBS or conventional method.
