Acknowledgements So many people have supported and contributed to this study that it almost seems pointless to even try to mention them by name. To all of you who work in the Danish police and genuinely offered your voice, reflections and helpfulness: I am deeply grateful and impressed by your stories of the deeply felt pride and honor that you put into your call to keep our country safe, secure and just. I sincerely hope that this piece of text does justice to the brave, humble and dedicated people that I feel very privileged to have met. May your voices be the clear and far- reaching and inspire others to follow in your footsteps. For even making this research project possible, however, I want to thank Professor Preben Melander, Head of Center for Business Development and Management at Copenhagen Business School’s Department of Operations Management, for initially offering me ‘shelter’ to write the proposal and encouraging an in many ways ‘off the road’ PhD project and to the National Police Commissioner, Jens Henrik Højbjerg, for approving the project. My regards go to the people who carried it through to the police: Chief of Staff Mogens Hendriksen, Chief Superintendent Peter Ekebjærg, Dr. Camilla Hald and Chief Superintendent Jørgen Harlev. For their deeply qualified and trustful guidance, I most respectfully thank my supervisors, Professor Daniel Hjorth and Professor Ester Barinaga, both from the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy. My warm regards go to Professor Linda Smircich and Professor Marta Calàs at the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, for generously hosting my visit and enriching the project through your highly competent teaching, advice and discussions. 3 Through different periods of the project, a number of police managers provided great support for the PhD project. For their insightful efforts and encouragement along the way, I owe my deep gratitude to Chief Superintendent Bo Samson, Chief of Staff Karen Aastrup Bak, Chief Superintendent Klaus Munk Nielsen, Chief Consultant Jens Dünweber and Chief Consultant Anne-Stina Sørensen. I also thank Prosecutor Heidi Dearman for her help and legal advice, Jette Deltorp for reading large parts of the thesis and sharing her observant in reflections on it and Amalie Wulff Jedig for designing the cover illustration. Without the relieving laughter, deep reflections and enthusiastic sphere created and shared among close colleagues and friends at work, the intense and at times challenging process would not have offered so much personal joy, passion and warmth as it did. For your insights, kindness and bright smiles, I thank Nadja Kirchoff Hestehave, Lotte Høgh, Louise Johansen, Søren Obed Madsen, Trine Vendius Thygesen, Sidsel Kirstine Harder, Jette Louise Flensburg and Dr. Kira Vrist Rønn. The final and warmest thanks go to my family and friends for your unconditional support; in particular my life companion, Rasmus, for lighting up every second of life. 4 Abstract What does it mean to be innovative in public organizations? Scholars and policy makers call for public sector organizations to become innovative, whether this is through increasing collaboration, exploring networks or recognizing the innovation that occurs in government. This study contributes to this discussion a critical perspective arguing that much of the innovation that occurs in public organizations may come about in ways that are intentionally silenced by the organization and therefore dependent on the tactical creation of space for everyday creativity. It does so through an 18-month ethnographic study informed by Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and discourse, as well as his history of the emergence of police within the state, and by De Certeau’s theory of everyday practice and metaphor of the city. I observe that innovation is understood differently across the hierarchical strata of the organization and that this matters considerably for how creative practices emerge. At the top of the organization, managers relate to innovation as a ‘correct’ means of improving efficiency and legitimizing police to the surrounding society. Middle managers relate to innovation through their work of translating top-down initiatives and selecting amongst bottom-up solutions, while prioritizing that they themselves remain ‘safe’. Rather than relating to innovation as an aim of government, rank and file police officers at the bottom of the hierarchy relate to creativity as inherent in doing ‘real’ police work. ‘Real’ creativity is widely perceived as essential to concrete responsiveness to crime and unexpected situations here and now. As such, we observe a tension between an ‘inner’ office approach to innovation as correct, safe bets and an ‘outer’ street approach to innovation/creativity as ‘real’ responses to ‘real life’ challenges as they play out in this very moment. 5 As especially rank and file officers experience that what they associate with creativity is not necessarily recognized as desirable or necessary to other domains of the organization, they do not cease being creative. Rather, they exploit what they themselves term ‘gray zones’. Gray zones are an integral part of police work, in which laws and rules do not always translate into meaningful practices ‘on the street’, nor do they provide meaningful guidelines for dealing with novel problems. However, gray zones are also spaces of indistinction and obscurity that police officers actively seek to create and expand in order to develop, use and share novel solutions. While gray zones are mostly informal and discrete (even secretive), some parts of the formal organization seem to institutionalize aspects of them and hereby support similar kinds of spaces for creative development of new practices and solutions. I discuss these observations relative both to the ethical dilemmas of this type of creative and innovative activity and to the theoretical frameworks that I apply. Of central importance, however, are the implications for innovation research, particularly in the context of public organizations. Paradoxically, the call for more innovation may result in less innovation: Because innovation is understood so differently across hierarchical strata, because ‘real’ creativity is not recognized as innovation by the ‘innovators’ themselves and because much ‘real’ creativity occurs at the edge of accepted rules and procedures, there is little formal support for these kinds of creative, yet highly persistent, practices.

The treated CDEW can be used as recycled aggregate to replace natural aggregate, which can not only reduce environmental pollution and construction-related resource waste caused by CDEW, but also save natural resources. However, the mechanical properties and durability of Recycled Aggregates Concrete (RAC) are generally worse than that of ordinary concrete. Various fiber or mineral materials are usually used in RAC to improve the mechanical properties and durability of the matrix. In RAC, polypropylene (PP) fiber and steel fiber (SF) are two kinds most commonly used fiber materials, which can enhance the strength and toughness of RAC and compensate the defects of RAC to some extent. In this paper, the literature on PP fiber- and SF-reinforced RAC (FRRAC) is reviewed, with a focus on the consistence, mechanical performance (compressive strength, tensile strength, stress–strain relationship, elastic modulus, and shear strength), durability (water absorption, chloride permeability, carbonation, freeze–thaw cycling, and shrinkage), and microstructure.

Dezember 2012 3 4 DANKSAGUNG Meiner Erfahrung nach stellt man sich mit einem Promotionsvorhaben und damit verbunden dem Verfassen einer Dissertationsschrift, einer zunächst unüberschaubaren Herausforderung. Im Verlauf einiger Jahre muss man sich dieser immer wieder aufs Neue stellen, auch in Anbetracht von Rückschlägen und in den Weg gelegten Steinen. Es liegt in der Natur der Sache, dass man dabei oftmals auf sich allein gestellt ist. Das ist jedoch nur die halbe Wahrheit. Wenig ist möglich ohne die Hilfe anderer. Deshalb möchte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen, all denen zu danken, die mich die letzten Jahre auf vielfältige Weise darin unterstützt haben, die mit meiner Promotion verbundenen Herausforderungen zu meistern. Zunächst möchte ich Prof. Dr. Gebhard Rusch danken, dass er mein Interesse für Organisationstheorien und die Betrachtung vielfältiger Phänomene aus dieser Perspektive geweckt hat. Er war es auch, der mich nach meiner Diplomarbeit darin ermutigte und unterstützte, ein Promotionsvorhaben anzugehen. Im Hinblick auf die Verwirklichung des Vorhabens, gilt mein Dank allen Beteiligten des Graduiertenkollegs „Pfade organisatorischer Prozesse“ sowie der Dahlem Research School der Freien Universität Berlin. Ich möchte besonders Prof. Dr. Jörg Sydow und Prof. Dr. Georg Schreyögg für den Aufbau und die Leitung des Graduiertenkollegs danken.

  • Accommodating Diversity in Deeply Divided Societies: the Management of the Linguistic Conflict in the Belgian Consociational Democracy
    Fakultät für Kulturwissenschaften Sommersemester 2008 Bachelorarbeit Accommodating diversity in deeply divided societies: The management of the linguistic conflict in the Belgian consociational democracy Erstgutachterin: Frau Prof. Dr. Konstanze Jungbluth Zweitgutachter: Herr PD Dr. Antonius Liedhegener Tobias Weise 06. Semsester BA Kulturwissenschaften Wildenbruchstr. 83 12045 Berlin +49 178 2 18 18 81 [email protected]ffo.de http://tobiasweise.de 23. Juni 2008 Abstract In divided societies, i.e. societies where multiple separate societal groups are living together under one government, larger conflicts appear to be common. These conflicts might lead to violent disputes between groups and endanger the stability of the state. This may be even more so, when the conflicting groups are divided by a linguistic cleavage. However, there are states, like the Kingdom of Belgium, that manage to maintain a stable democracy despite the divided character of their society. This paper will try to analyze how this is possible. At first, the divisions of the Belgian society will be examined. Following, in a multidisciplinary approach that unites theories from sociolinguistics and political sciences, a consociational approach will be identified as crucial for the successful accommodation of diversity in the Belgian democracy. Furthermore, it will be stated that language policy plays a very important role in the maintenance of stability of the Belgian divided society. An electronic version of this paper and additional material is available at http://tobiasweise.de/studium/ba-arbeit/ Zusammenfassung In gespaltenen Gesellschaften, also in Gesellschaften in denen verschiedene, von- einander getrennte Gruppen unter dem Dach einer Regierung zusammenleben, treten häufig schwere Konflikte auf.

The sjambok is one of the most versatile and effective of all flexible weapons, having been used for centuries in Africa. The Scourge of the Dark Continent: The Martial Use of the African Sjambok by James Loriega is the first booklength treatment of the defensive use of the sjambok. Loriega, a well-known and respected martial arts expert, covers every aspect of the sjambok. Its history, nomenclature, properties, how to practice, stances, strikes, use with other weapons, and how to modify it so it best serves your personal use. The sjambok can deliver non-fatal, disabling blows from short, medium, and long ranges, and with either hand. A psychologically intimidating weapon, as well as physically devastating, the sjambok's uses range from defending against a single attacker to crowd control. In illustrated detail, Loriega explains the basic combat stances, whipping methods, striking methods, and choking and strangling methods, as well as which targets are best for each method.

  • Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, MM
    ABSTRACT Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel’s Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, M.M. Mentor: Jean A. Boyd, Ph.D. In 2001, the release of Fantasies and Delusions officially announced Billy Joel’s remarkable career transition from popular songwriting to classical instrumental music composition. Representing Joel’s eclectic aesthetic that transcends genre, this album features a series of ten solo piano pieces that evoke a variety of musical styles, especially those coming from the Romantic tradition. A collaborative effort with classical pianist Hyung-ki Joo, Joel has mentioned that Fantasies and Delusions is the album closest to his heart and spirit. However, compared to Joel’s popular works, it has barely received any scholarly attention. Given this gap in musicological work on the album, this thesis focuses on the album’s content, creative process, and connection with Billy Joel’s life, career, and artistic identity. Through this thesis, I argue that Fantasies and Delusions is reflective of Joel’s artistic identity as an eclectic composer, a melodist, a Romantic, and a Piano Man.
