The emerging knowledge Governance Approach: Challenges and characteristics
Organization, 2007Co-Authors: Nicolai Juul FossAbstract:The `knowledge Governance Approach' is characterized as a distinctive, emerging Approach that cuts across the fields of knowledge management, organization studies, strategy and human resource management. Knowledge Governance is taken up with how the deployment of Governance mechanisms influences knowledge processes, such as sharing, retaining and creating knowledge. It insists on clear micro (behavioural) foundations, adopts an economizing perspective, and examines the links between knowledge-based units of analysis with diverse characteristics and Governance mechanisms with diverse capabilities of handling these transactions. Research issues that the knowledge Governance Approach illuminates are sketched.

the knowledge Governance Approach
2005Co-Authors: Nicolai Juul FossAbstract:An attempt is made to characterize a "knowledge Governance Approach" as a distinctive, emerging field that cuts across the fields of knowledge management, organisation studies, strategy and human resource management. Knowledge Governance is taken up with how the deployment of administrative apparatus influences knowledge processes, such as sharing, retaining and creating knowledge. It insists on clear behavioural foundations, adopts an economizing perspective and examines efficient alignment between knowledge transactions with diverse characteristics and Governance structures and mechanisms with diverse capabilities of handling these transactions. Various open research issues that a knowledge Governance Approach may illuminate are sketched. Although knowledge Governance draws clear inspiration from organizational economics and "rational" organization theory, it recognizes that knowledge represents various challenges to more "closed" social science disciplines, notably economics.

taking health into account in all policies raising and keeping health equity high on the political agenda
Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2017Co-Authors: Lauri Kokkinen, Ketan Shankardass, Patricia Ocampo, Carles MuntanerAbstract:The 2008 final report of the Commission on the Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) made a clear case for addressing structural determinants of health to improve health equity.1 The 2011 Rio Declaration took this further as 165 countries committed to take greater action on the Social Determinants of Health including the implementation of Health in All Policies (HiAP),2 which is a Governance Approach for health equity based on a mandate to systematically address policies beyond the healthcare sector. Almost all health inequities are influenced by policies outside of the health sector. The pursuit of health equity objectives through the adoption of HiAP therefore demands a paradigm shift in Governance; away from sectors making policy within ‘silos’ (ie, based on a specific mandates and budgets), towards a more integrated Governance (p.2) Approach where diverse policymakers integrate health equity considerations, alongside other objectives.3 One challenge with HiAP is establishing and maintaining, over the long term and multiple political cycles, political support for addressing health inequities in government. Health equity does not gain the attention of policymakers as a value-free Governance technique. Instead, policymakers adopt different understandings about the nature of such problems, their causes and …

understanding socio cultural dimensions of environmental decision making a knowledge Governance Approach
Environmental Science & Policy, 2017Co-Authors: Lorrae Van Kerkhoff, Victoria PilbeamAbstract:Abstract Sociological critiques of scientific research processes and their application have developed nuanced understandings of the social, cultural and political forces shaping relationships between science and decision-making. Simultaneously, environmental researchers have sought to construct more engaged, dynamic modes of conducting research to facilitate the application of science in decision-making and action. To date, however, there are relatively few theoretically-oriented Approaches that have been able to draw productive connections between the sociological critique and the practical applications that can aid in navigating this complex and diverse milieu. In this article, we propose that the concept of “knowledge Governance” can bring together targeted inquiry into the socio-political context in which environmental science is situated, alongside analysis of specific interventions that change knowledge-to-action relationships. Drawing together Jasanoff’s (2005) concept of civic epistemology with Cash et al.’s (2003) knowledge systems for sustainability Approach, this knowledge Governance inquiry framework offers an integrative lens through which to critically reflect on knowledge-based processes, and incorporate that deeper understanding into intervention efforts. We briefly illustrate its application with reference to a pilot project examining conservation decision-making in the Western Pacific island nation of Palau.

corporate Governance and business ethics insights from the strategic planning experience
Corporate Governance: An International Review, 2005Co-Authors: Ingrid Bonn, Josie FisherAbstract:In this paper we develop an integrated Approach towards corporate Governance and business ethics. Our central argument is that organisations can learn from the development of strategic planning in the 1970s and 1980s. We identify three weaknesses - a bureaucratic and formalised Approach, lack of implementation and lack of integration throughout the organisation - which were prevalent in strategic planning in the past and which are potentially just as problematic for an integrated corporate Governance Approach to business ethics. We suggest ways these weaknesses might be avoided and provide questions for boards of directors to consider when integrating ethical concerns into their organisations' corporate Governance structures.
