Decentralization Policy

Decentralization policy in perspective of knowledge management, particularly in terms of knowledge creation is considered unsuccessful. It is not that decentralization policy is not problematic, but inappropriate knowledge utilized by local government in exercising decentralized affairs is indeed problematic. Such knowledge falls short in enhancing prosperity and quality of democracy at the local level, regardless of the motivation.

The Impact

This article attempts to make an empirical verification of the impact the electoral law on shaping the expectations of voters towards elected representatives. The analysis was conducted using data collected under the project entitled ‘The impact of electoral rules on the quality of local democracy in Poland’, whose fundamental premise was to take advantage of the situation arising after the amendment to the Electoral Code in 2011, as a result of which different electoral regulations were in force in the 2014 local government elections in various similar cities. Therefore, it was possible to verify a number of statements functioning in public space regarding issues, such as the positive impact of single-mandate constituencies on the quality of democracy (in particular, on the quality of democracy at the local level).The purpose of the analysis was to try to find regularities in changes in perceiving the role of councillors that may have occurred as a result of different electoral regulations. To this end, we used the qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) methodology, which allows the study of relationships between sets and the interpretation of these relationships in terms of necessity and sufficiency.The results suggest that the introduction of the majority system in a number of cities in the 2014 local government elections did not lead to the formation of a coherent model of political representation at the city council level, which would be qualitatively different from the representation model characteristic for cities with a proportional electoral system.

Research Analysis

Despite the world-wide triumph of democracy, the quest for an optimal politike has not yet reached the “end of history.” It turns out that representative democracies do not necessarily satisfy citizenries. These malaises are regarded as causes for concern and political actors increasingly pin their hopes on participatory innovations as re-legitimizing responses. But do they work? Germany is an especially interesting case for empirical research. Analysis of the variety of participatory innovations utilized at the local level in Germany—often varying considerably among the different Bundesländer—provides preliminary insights. The German case shows overall that participatory innovations have the potential to cure some of the current malaises of representative democracy. Participatory innovations, however, are certainly no fast-track cure. The useful implementation of participatory innovations requires comprehensive consideration, caution, and, (up to now limited) knowledge about possibilities and pitfalls.

As the pace of todays world increases with advances in technology and globalization, the heat of rivalry and competition in the business world is also rising. It is a wake-up call for many firms that they can no longer just convince customers to buy whatever they sell. They have to understand their customers. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) can assist firms to know your customer and construct good relationships with customers. In order to know your customer and construct a good relationship, customer knowledge must be acquired and managed. However, this is no easy task since customer knowledge can be subjective and difficult to extract or manage. An approach is needed to acquire and manage customer knowledge. Knowledge management, including knowledge creation, can assist in terms of acquiring and managing customer knowledge. Knowledge management not only improves understanding of the customer, but also improves business process performance by enabling response to customer needs in a timely manner with better quality of service. Customer-Centric Knowledge Creation is the process for the creation of knowledge based on customer knowledge within the CRM contexts which are enterprise-wide, customer-centric, technology-driven, and cross-functional. The aims of this process are to assist organizations to gain more understanding of the customer, embedding customer knowledge into organization knowledge, and creating a customer-focused mindset in organizational members. In other words, it is to sustainably create knowledge focusing on customer knowledge in an organization.

The Relationship

The article reviews studies that have examined the local democratic consequences of the Danish Structural Reform, with focus on studies that have used the municipal amalgamations (which were part of the aforementioned reform) to study the relationship between the size of political systems and the quality of democracy in those systems. The reviewed studies tend to find negative effects of municipal size on the quality of local democracy, although the effects are weak to moderate in size. These results are consistent with the existing local government literature on the relationship between size and democracy, which also has shown that size does not matter much for the quality of democracy. If there indeed are differences between local democracies of different sizes then this has more to do with the characteristics of those who choose to live in these communities, than it has to do with size.

Keberhasilan pembangunan negara tidak semata-mata ditentukan oleh kekayaan sumber daya alam yang melimpah, tetapi juga ditentukan oleh proses perencanaan pembangunan yang sistematis, terukur, dan menyeluruh (komprehensif). Perencanaan pembangunan memiliki peran yang sangat strategis dan vital dalam pembangunan. Keberhasilan perencanaan, salah satunya diukur dari efektifitasnya. Ada empat indikator efektivitas,  yaitu Ketepatan Waktu, Ketepatan perhitungan biaya, Ketepatan Dalam Menentukan Tujuan, dan Ketepatan Sasaran. Penelitian in menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan penentuan informan menggunakan metode snowball sampling dan analisa data menggunakan triangulasi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan pembangunan daerah di Kota Batu sudah efektif. Walaupun begitu, masih ada beberapa faktor penghambat yang harus diperhatikan oleh pemerintah kota Batu,  yaitu program kegiatan yang tidak sesuai dengan RPJMD atau visi-misi kepala daerah, sistem ditingkat lokal pemerintahan daerah yang belum tersinkronisasi secara maksimal, sehingga proses input data masih perlu berulang-ulang. Faktor lainnya adalah kurangnya koordinasi antar OPD. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan konsistensi dari semua elemen yang terlibat dalam perencanaan. Komitmen dari kepala daerah, kepala OPD dan elemen lain yang terlibat dalam proses perencanaan harus diperkuat.The quality of a country's growth is decided not just by the availability of plentiful natural resources but also by a formal, tangible and rigorous method of development planning. Planning for construction plays a very pragmatic and vitally significant position in planning. Planning performance, in which one is calculated by its effectiveness. There are 4 efficacy metrics, that' Timeliness, Accuracy in costs, Accuracy in Setting Goals, and Accuracy of Targets. There are four effectiveness measures, which is timeliness, expense accuracy, objective setting accuracy, and aim accuracy. This research uses a qualitative methodology and the snowball sampling process to pick the informant and use triangulation as interpretation of the results. The results showed that regional development planning in Batu had been effective. Even so, there are still some inhibiting factors that must be considered by the local government, the program of activities that are not in accordance with the RPJMD or the vision and mission of the regional head, the system at the local level of the local government that has not been synchronized maximally, so the data input process still needs be repeated. Another factor is the lack of coordination among the OPD. It requires continuity with all the components involved in preparation. Commitments will be reinforced from department leaders, manager level and other aspects participating in the planning phase.Key Words: Effectiveness; Planning; Development; Regional; Government; Governance

Local government in Australia plays an important role in local economies and communities. The chapter reviews e-government development at the local level in Australia and proposes a connected e-government model that aims to increase the quality of government services and improve the effectiveness of local government operations. A framework for developing more connected and responsive e-government at the local level is of paramount importance. Connected government requires not only a user-centric focus for the development of e-government services but also government business process and information integration. Reusable services and connected IT architecture are essential characteristics of connected e-government. The proposed model links to third party efforts, which provides more effective way of developing a more connected e-government by potentially breaking down bureaucratic barriers. As technology evolves, people are demanding access to local government via digital channels. The proposed model adopts an integrated multichannel service delivery approach to connected e-government.

Knowledge Management (KM) is an interlinked business process that captures and provides access to a collective knowledge of an organization. KM is an audit of "intellectual assets" that highlights unique sources, critical functions and potential bottlenecks, which hinder knowledge flows to the points of use. It protects intellectual assets from decay; seek opportunities to enhance quality of decisions, services and products by adding intelligence, value and providing flexibility. Knowledge management complements and establishes organizational initiatives like Total Quality Management (TQM), Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and organizational learning by providing a new and urgent focus to sustain competitive position.

Poland is undergoing important political changes. The evolution of legal, political, and financial resources of local government since 1950 is discussed in this paper. In the last section are presented the Solidarity programme and governmental response at the historic ‘Round Table’ talks between the ruling Communist Party and the Polish opposition, which opened the way to the opposition's magnificent victory in the parliamentary elections in June 1989. In 1950 a very centralized organization of the state was imposed. But the postwar history shows expansions and limitations of local government power. These shifts and their causation are analyzed. The poor quality of the urban fabric, the need of social support for the ruling party, and important economic tasks of local government call for decentralization. Its implementation requires overcoming the barriers, which result from resistance by political and bureaucratic structures, bad economic situation, and lack of public interest in local democracy. Recently a decentralization policy is being implemented. Many legal openings have been made, but the political organization is still very centralized. It is argued that a deconcentration of tasks and means cannot be effective without changes in political structures. Therefore Solidarity asks for full self-government at the communal level, but the ruling Party has strong reservations against this.

AbstractThis article examines decentralization through the lens of the local dynamics it unleashed in the much-noted case of Bolivia. It argues that the national effects of decentralization are largely the sum of its local-level effects. To understand decentralization, therefore, we must first understand how local government works. The article explores the deep economic and institutional determinants of government quality in two extremes of municipal performance. From this it derives a model of local government responsiveness as the product of political openness and substantive competition. The quality of local politics, in turn, emerges endogenously as the joint product of the lobbying and political engagement of local firms and interests and the organizational density and ability of civil society. The analysis tests the theory's predictions on a database containing all Bolivian municipalities. The theory proves robust. The combined methodology provides a higher-order empirical rigor than either approach can alone.
