Retiring the Golden Hammer: Identifying Situational Practices for Public Strategy Implementation

While scholars and practitioners increasingly embrace contingent approaches to public strategic management, they have done so tepidly. In an increasingly perilous and turbulent governing environment, both groups must move past time-honored tools and concepts and embrace the complexity inherent to the strategy implementation process. In response, this article proposes a contingent, micro-organizational process model of public strategy implementation based on Whittington’s (2017) framework of strategy as a practice and a process. Through regression analysis of 205 strategic initiatives from 43 U.S. municipalities, the study concludes that the relationships between implementation practices and proximate outcomes do indeed vary over time and across context, offering a specific list of recommended practices tailored to the intersections of implementation phase and initiative type. Public strategy implementation scholars can best aid practitioners by rejecting strategic reductivism and embracing micro-organizational implementation activity surrounding a strategic initiative, in all of its temporal and contextual splendor.

Analisis Risiko Kegagalan Konstruksi Infrastruktur Permukiman

Equitable distribution of settlement infrastructure is one of the current regional government programs. However, the high budget for residential infrastructure every year is not directly proportional to the quality of the infrastructure buildings realization. Good construction project control is available for every work implementation activity, but not all construction actors can apply it correctly. Weak project control resulted in construction failure and not achieving project objectives. This study aims to analyze the most dominant risk of construction failure and respond to construction failure mitigation using the Soft System Methodology. Variables that caused construction failure were the low quality of human resources who occupy the highest rank, the quality of work that is not in accordance with specifications, inappropriate planning, low levels of supervision and a culture of contractors that have not prioritized the quality of construction work; they are factors that cause road construction and residential infrastructure failures in Bekasi Regency. The conceptual model in the form of packaging work that is tailored to the capabilities of Human Resources is one of the recommended model options, hence that work can be completed in accordance with predetermined specifications.

Controlled ecological evaluation of an implemented exercise training programme to prevent lower limb injuries in sport: differences in implementation activity

ObjectiveThe public health benefits of injury prevention programmes are maximised when programmes are widely adopted and adhered to. Therefore, these programmes require appropriate implementation support. This study evaluated implementation activity outcomes associated with the implementation of FootyFirst, an exercise training injury prevention programme for community Australian football, both with (FootyFirst+S) and without (FootyFirst+NS) implementation support.MethodAn evaluation plan based on the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) Sports Setting Matrix was applied in a controlled ecological evaluation of the implementation of FootyFirst. RE-AIM dimension-specific (range: 0–2) and total RE-AIM scores (range: 0–10) were derived by triangulating data from a number of sources (including surveys, interviews, direct observations and notes) describing FootyFirst implementation activities. The mean dimension-specific and total scores were compared for clubs in regions receiving FootyFirst+S and FootyFirst+NS, through analysis of variance.ResultsThe mean total RE-AIM score forclubs in the FootyFirst+S regions was 2.4 times higher than for clubs in the FootyFirst+NS region (4.73 vs 1.94; 95% CI for the difference: 1.64 to 3.74). Similarly, all dimension-specific scores were significantly higher for clubs in the FootyFirst+S regions compared with clubs in the FootyFirst+NS region. In all regions, the dimension-specific scores were highest for reach and adoption, and lowest for implementation.ConclusionImplementing exercise training injury prevention programmes in community sport is challenging. Delivering programme content supported by a context-specific and evidence-informed implementation plan leads to greater implementation activity, which is an important precursor to injury reductions.

Cancro de Mama: Valor em Saúde, Custos e Financiamento

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common oncological disease worldwide. To analyse the new disease specific funding programme (breast cancer) implemented at the Francisco Gentil Portuguese Institute of Oncology, Lisbon Center (Instituto Português de Oncologia de Lisboa Francisco Gentil), the actual costs of the patients were examined using activity-based costing as a costing methodology. This study addresses the following question: “How much does it cost to treat breast cancer per ‘patient-month’ compared to the monthly fixed ‘funding envelope’?”.Materials and Methods: The study cohort consisted of 807 patients, corresponding to all the patients eligible for the new disease specific funding programme and who were enrolled during the first year of implementation. Activity-based costing was used to calculate the total real costs per stage of disease and per ‘patient-month’ as well as the deviation from the monthly fixed ‘funding envelope’.Results: The total costs were 6.6 M€, whereas the total funding was 5.2 M€ for a total of 5648 ‘patient-months’. In 2014, the balance difference between the funding obtained and the actual costs was -1.4 €M for the cohort of 807 patients.Discussion: The extreme cases of differences in cost per ‘patient-month’ compared to the monthly fixed ‘funding envelope’ were (i) stage 0/Tis, with higher funding at 415.23 € per ‘patient-month’, and (ii) stage IIIC, with lower funding at 1062.79 € per ‘patient-month’.Conclusion: The ‘patient-month’ cost, regardless of disease stage was 1170.29 €. The median deviation per ‘patient-month’ was negative (241.21 €) compared to the monthly fixed ‘funding envelope’ of 929.08 € in the first year. Establishing activity-based costing - funding models will be crucial for the future sustainability of the healthcare sector.
