Previous research on DT frames it as a problem of strategic technology adoption or information technology (IT)-related change associated with business models and processes. READ MORE

   Abstract : It has been argued that for the management of complex issues such as sustainability, which transcend traditional policy sectors and require coordination between several different interests and actors, policymaking depends upon collaboration and integration processes between different sectors and tiers of government.

   Abstract : The work of this thesis is sprung from a reflection I had in my daily work at a funder of research and education: How can the academic career be so problematic?

Among these difficulties are the lack of a coherent career system, too many temporary employments and time-consuming recruitment procedures. READ MORE
