This paper considers an implication of the idea that proposals for integrated care for older people should start from a focus on the patient, consider co-production solutions to the problems of care fragmentation, and be at a system-wide, cross-organisational level. It follows that the analysis, design and therefore evaluation of integrated care projects should be based upon the journeys which ...

Until recently, empirical analyses of spatial interdependence in the social sciences remained largely confined to specialized areas of applied economics (e.g., environmental, urban/regional, and real-estate economics) and sociology (i.e., network analysis). However, social-scientific interest in and applications of spatial modeling have burgeoned lately, due partly to advances in theory that im...

A key challenge Utrecht attack was making sense situation and organizing coherent response distributed command control structure. This is recurrent crisis management.

Abstract The study aimed to conclude on the up-to-date state of organisational ecology theory concerning relations between ageing and ecology, enhanced by social ecological systems management. applied method included analytical reflective concluding, based synthesis findings from a critical literature review. It was concluded that: (i) generates some most important consequences in ecology; howe...

Using the personal construct theory (PCT) as an underlying conceptual frame, this chapter explores the interdependence of organisations and information systems. Two PCT-related techniques—repertory grid analysis (RepGrid) and cognitive mapping (CM)—were used to investigate the dynamics of this interaction. Changing business models and information technologies were investigated in two distinct w...

To understand how an organisational structure relates to organisational behaviour is an interesting fundamental challenge in the area of organisation modelling. Specifications of organisational structure usually have a diagrammatic form that abstracts from more detailed dynamics. Dynamic properties of agent systems, on the other hand, are often specified in the form of a set of logical formulae...
