  • regional Electricity transmission planning and sea the case of the Electricity Company scottishpower
    Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2006
    Co-Authors: Ross Marshall, Thomas B Fischer
    Abstract:

    Since 21 July 2004, formal strategic environmental assessment (SEA) requirements are in place for certain plans and programmes in European Union member states. Many public plans and programmes have been identified to fall under these requirements, and there has been a range of research activities particularly in land use and transport planning. However, the way in which SEA is to be applied in the private sector has remained largely unclear. Furthermore, to date there has been comparatively little reported private sector experience and the concrete benefits that SEA may deliver to private companies have not yet been discussed to any large extent. In order to address this shortcoming, the paper looks at SEA application in Electricity transmission planning, taking the specific case of the privatized Company ScottishPower as an example. Based on the evidence obtained, it is suggested that a structured SEA process can strengthen the environmental component and improve private sector decision-making processes. Corporate governance can be improved, if SEA is applied in a tiered system, addressing different issues and tasks at distinct stages in a clearly defined decision making hierarchy.

  • changes in accounting and financial information system in a spanish Electricity Company a new institutional theory analysis
    Management Accounting Research, 2006
    Co-Authors: Mathew Tsamenyi, John Cullen, Jose Maria Gonzalez Gonzalez
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper reports on the results of an intensive case study that investigated changes in the accounting and financial information system of a large Spanish Electricity Company (Sevillana). Sevillana was acquired by the Endesa Group upon the deregulation of the Spanish Electricity sector (SES). Drawing on data from multiple sources including interviews, observations, discussions and documents, the paper aims to theorize the change in the accounting and financial information system. An integrated accounting and financial information system was imposed by the Endesa head office on Sevillana and other Endesa subsidiaries to support organizational changes designed in response to regulatory requirements. The institutional senvironment also interacted with market forces and intra-organizational power relations to either directly or indirectly influence the changes in the accounting and financial information system. Given the interplay between these forces, the paper draws on and extends the New Institutional Sociology (NIS) theory [DiMaggio, P.J., Powell, W.W., 1983. The iron cage revisited: institutional isomorphism and collective rationality in organizational fields. Am. Sociol. Rev. 48, 147–160; Powell, W.W., DiMaggio, P.J., 1991. The New Institutionalism in Organizational Analysis. The University of Chicago Press, pp. 183-203] to understand the dynamics of the change.

  • The New Worker Dispossessed of Work
    Creating the New Worker, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jean Pierre Durand
    Abstract:

    This chapter develops a number of aspects from Chapters 1 to 2. It is in logistics warehouses that we witness the return to Taylor and Ford with information technologies that accelerate work. The isolation experienced by workers generates new problems. At the same time, social games are so that people might survive and make their working conditions acceptable. In the design offices of (aircraft and automobile firms) and in a research and development department (an Electricity Company) management by project introduces the flux tendu used in workshops: all the engineers have to face the same symptoms of personality dislocation.
