Working through a lens of administrative governance, hermeneutics, and boundary spanning, we spent 18 months studying the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund (OCTF) as it began its transition from a county to a regional funding model. Using observations and interviews of regional directors and administrative teams, we were interested in learning more about the role of boundary spanning and hermeneutics during the transition process. In other words, attempting to answer the question on what makes boundary spanning work at the level of the boundary spanner? The case study research produced four primary findings: (a) state and regional administrators desired a transitional approach that meant dispersing and distributing power and decisions to regional leaders; (b) political, time, and budget constraints worked against these desires; (c) boundary spanning efforts failed to produce a resource network; and (d) seeking understanding between the macro deterministic goals of the state to the micro regional and local needs produced an exercise in philosophical hermeneutics—particularly at the boundaries of the region and the state, as actors interpreted what they saw, read, and thought. We concluded that public administrators might better cope with the uncertainties associated with program transitions by more fully developing a hermeneutic mind-set for exploratory bias over confirmatory bias when engaging in boundary spanning and forming collaborative networks.

abstractEducation inancing is often considered to be a major problem to encourage private madrasahs to be favorite schools. This study is intended to examine the strategy of inancing education carried out by one of the favorite madrasahs. The study is based on a case study of a favorite madrasah around  the  capital  city  Jakarta.  This  study  found the education funding model that can deliver this madrasah to earn the predicate of “madrasah unggul”  from  the  Ministry  of  Religious  Affairs. Based on the experience of this madrasah, parent participation in education funding must be offset by the provision of quality assurance to education service customers.Keywords:strategy, education Financing, Favorite madrasahabstrakPembiayaan pendidikan sering dianggap menjadi masalah utama untuk mendorong madrasah swasta menjadi sekolah unggulan. Penelitian ini ingin mengkaji strategi pembiayaan pendidikan yang dilakukan oleh salah satu madrasah unggulan. Kajian didasarkan pada studi kasus terhadap madrasah unggulan di sekitar ibukota Jakarta. Kajian ini menemukan model pembiayaan pendidikan yang mampu mengantarkan madrasah ini memperoleh predikat madrasah unggul dari Kementerian Agama RI. Berdasarkan pengalaman madrasah ini, partisipasi orang tua dalam pembiayaan pendidikan harus diimbangi dengan memberikan jaminan kualitas terhadap konsumen pendidikan.Kata Kunci:strategi, Pembiayaan Pendidikan, madrasah Unggulan

Access Model

We outline the work of a university press, with assistance from the COPIM Project (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs), in building an innovative revenue model to fund open access monographs at a traditional publisher. Building on library journal subscription models (eg: OLH) and on Knowledge Unlatched's approach to monograph funding, we present a sustainable OA publishing model that gives members exclusive access to a backlist, with the revenue then used to make the frontlist openly accessible. The model can be emulated by other scholarly presses who wish to take advantage of the opportunities that open access publishing affords. Supporting information: Led by Dr Frances Pinter (Publishing Advisor, & founder of Knowledge Unlatched) and Professor Martin Paul Eve (OLH, Birkbeck & COPIM) the case study explores an innovative revenue model that will transition new titles at a well-known publisher to a viable open-access model. COPIM is an international partnership of researchers, universities, librarians, publishers and infrastructure providers working on bringing about a new OA publishing ecosystem. Their remit is to build a revenue infrastructure, and examine production workflows and metadata, experimental publishing and archiving. The project is working with colleagues across the sector to document existing and potential ways of funding open-access monographs and is consulting with academics, publishers, libraries, funders, and policy makers. The publisher case study aims to initiate and document a ‘working model’ as the next step in creating a practical toolkit and roadmap for other publishers.

National Information

This chapter has the following objectives: developing the need for assessing knowledge capital at the national economic level; reviewing a national case study of how intellectual capital assessment was done in case of one nation state; suggesting implications of use of such assessment methods and needed areas of advancement; and highlighting caveats in existing assessment methods that underscore the directions for future research. With increasing emphasis on aligning national information resource planning, design and implementation with growth and performance needs of business or nation, better understanding of new valuation and assessment techniques is necessary for information resource management policymakers, practitioners and researchers.
