SammanfattningDenna studie fördjupar kunskapen i tidigare forskning om ledarskap i det didaktiska rummet, dvs. inramningen av aktuell undervisningssituation oavsett plats. Syftet var att (a) identifiera och klassificera mönster och trender om lärares ledarskap i det didaktiska rummet 1980-2013, (b) jämföra och diskutera resultaten, och (c) peka ut en framtida forskningsinriktning. Metoden är en systematisk litteraturöversikt (SLR) med en kvantitativ och kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultaten visar att hälften av forskningen utfördes under 2006-2013. Resultaten visar också att lärarnas ledarskap är ett västerländskt fenomen som blivit alltmer relevant under senare tid. Dessutom finns det två frågor som kan kopplas till detta ledarskap: oklara gränser mellan olika typer av ledarskap och en sammanblandning av lärares personlighet och ledarstil. Detta understryker förekomsten av kontextuella och situerade didaktiska strategier samt flexibla ledarstilar i det didaktiska rummet. Studien visar förvisso på medvetenheten om olika didaktiska aspekter, men det saknas forskningsdesigner som införlivar den didaktiska komplexiteten.Nyckelord: didaktik; didaktiskt ledarskap; litteraturgranskning; lärares ledarskapAbstractThis study deepens our knowledge about research on leadership in the didactic room, i.e., the framing of the current teaching situation, regardless of its location. The objective was to (a) identify and classify patterns and trends concerning teachers’ leadership in the didactic room from 1980 to 2013, (b) compare and discuss the findings, and (c) point to a future research agenda. The method is a systematic literature review (SLR) with a quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The results revealed that half of the research on this topic was performed from 2006 to 2013. The results also show that teachers’ leadership appears to be a Western phenomenon that is becoming increasingly relevant in our time. Two issues could be linked to this leadership: the unclear boundaries between different types of leadership and confusion about teachers’ personalities and leadership styles. This underlines the importance of contextual and situated didactic strategies and flexible leadership styles in the didactic room. Even if this study shows that an awareness of different didactic aspects exists concerning teachers’ leadership, a comprehensive approach to designing studies that incorporate the didactic complexities is lacking.Keywords: didactic, didactic leadership, literature review, teachers’ leadership

PurposeMany future research proposals of Lean Manufacturing (LM) are presented in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to determine these future research proposals of LM which are country-related and classify them.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) of peer-reviewed journal articles in LM was conducted. A total of 145 articles published in 34 journals during 2010–2020 were collected from four major management science publishers namely, Emerald Online, Elsevier/Science Direct, Springer Link and Taylor and Francis. The country-related future research proposals of LM identified in the literature were classified according to, firstly, the continent of the country of reference, and secondly, some form of natural affinity of these proposals creating meaningful themes. The quality tool “affinity diagram” was applied to classify the country-related future research proposals of LM.FindingsThe country-related future research proposals of LM, which are increasing in the literature over time, refer mostly to studies to be conducted in several continents/countries and to multinational studies. Conducting studies specifically in Asia, Europe, South and North America, Africa and Australia–New Zealand is also suggested. The plethora of the country-related future research proposals of LM were classified, based on the affinity of their content, into 18 meaningful themes. These themes were also classified based on their affinity into two broad categories, namely “themes concerning the LM approach itself” and “themes concerning factors outside the LM approach”.Research limitations/implicationsThe restricted number of the databases searched and the subjectivity of classifying the large number of the country-related future research proposals into themes are the main limitations of the present SLR. Based on these limitations, future literature review studies can be carried out.Practical implicationsUseful proposals are provided to researchers of several countries for conducting original and country-specific research studies which can enrich the knowledge of the implementation of LM under the specific circumstances of a country for the benefit of practitioners.Originality/valueThis study goes beyond previous literature review studies on LM by focusing exclusively on the LM future research agenda which is country related. The analytical presentation of the country-related future research proposals as well as the formulation of clusters of these proposals make the present SLR study substantially different from those carried out worldwide so far.
