Culture and organisational change in academic organisations: a reflective case
(Gobierno Vasco = Eusko Jaurlaritza, Departamento de Economía, Trabajo y Empleo = Ekonomia, Lan eta Enplegu Saila, 2017) Alcalde Heras, Henar ; Aranguren, Mari Jose ; Wilson, James Ralph
There is strong interest around the role that academic organizations can play as catalysts of change within the territories where they are located, proactively shaping socioeconomic development. However, academic organizations need to innovate themselves to play this role effectively. This paper builds on arguments in the management literature that suggest organizational culture as a factor facilitating the open innovation capacity of business organizations. It explores a parallel argument with respect to academic organizations through an auto-reflective case study of the Basque Institute of Competitiveness (Orkestra). Orkestra was established in 2006 with a mission to develop a proactive role in the Basque Country’s socio-economic development. However fulfilling this has required organizational learning and cultural change, which may provide lessons for other institutions seeking to fulfil similar missions.
Dinamismo empresarial en la industria manufacturera de la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco (1985-1993)
(Universidad de Deusto, 1997-01-01) Aranguren, Mari Jose; Alonso Rodríguez, José Antonio; Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales; Economía y Dirección de Empresas (Gestión Financiera y Contabilidad)
Esta tesis pretende profundizar en los factores que han podido incidir en el resurgimiento de las pymes en la industria manufacturera de la CAPV. En concreto, trata de especificar las caracteristicas sectoriales que determinan la creacion de unidades economicas. En primer lugar se efectua un analisis exhaustivo de la literatura teorica y empirica existente en economia industrial para definir con el mayor rigor posible -dado el amplio campo que comprende esta disciplina y los resultados, a veces contradictorios, a los que llega- todos los posibles factores explicativos de la creacion de unidades economicas. Esta exploracion de la literatura permite fundamentar las hipotesis basicas de este estudio. A continuacion, por una parte, se analiza el dinamismo de las unidades economicas y su contribucion a la generacion de empleo en la industria manufacturera de la capv en el periodo 1985-93 y se profundiza en las posibles razones que han podido influir en este fenomeno. Por otra parte, se definen los indicadores con los que se pueden medir las caracteristicas sectoriales que se han especificado como posibles determinantes de la creacion de unidades economicas y se efectua su analisis para la industria manufacturera de la CAPV. Finalmente, se presentan varios modelos que analizan el efecto de los posibles factores explicativos de creacion de unidades economicas en la apertura de nuevos establecimientos en la industria manufacturera de la CAPV. En el estudio se concluye que el numero de establecimientos pequeños aumenta y el de los medianos y grandes disminuye en casi todos los sectores de la industria manufacturera de la capv entre 1985 y 1993. El aumento de microestablecimientos se da porque se crean mas unidades economicas de este tamaño que las que se destruyen. En sectores en que mas microestablecimientos se crean los establecimientos de dimension reducida tienen mayores ventajas en costes unitarios frente a los de mayor dimension,
Organisational leadership to support the development of action research environments in university institutes the case of Orkestra – Basque Institute of Competitiveness
(Orkestra-Instituto Vasco de Competitividad, 2020) Aranguren, Mari Jose
Whilst it is true that universities are not the only environment where action research is carried out, they are a relevant environment if action research (AR) is to play a significant role in facing societal challenges in times of profound transformation. Indeed, literature about AR in universities does exist (Levin and Greenwood, 2018), but it is mainly written by action researchers and often misses the perspective I want to make explicit in this chapter, i.e., the perspective of research institute managers in universities. Research institutes can be an excellent context in which to develop AR. Although academia is increasingly asked to play a strategic role in place-based processes of socioeconomic development (Aranguren et al. 2016a and 2016b), universities do not always facilitate the working environments needed to fulfil this role (Alcalde et al. 2017). As Levin and Greenwood (2018) highlight, conventional disciplinary organisation and the separation of pure and applied work in universities is inimical to the development of AR. In this regard, research institutes, whose mission is to serve as change agents, can offer the right context to develop AR. However, these institutes are not exclusively a place for researchers. They are collective endeavours, where management plays a relevant role. The goal of this chapter is to reflect on the role of managers in the development of AR environments. The experience that inspires this chapter is my role as manager at Orkestra, the Basque Institute of Competitiveness (University of Deusto), where Action Research for Territorial Development (ARTD) has been constructed together with our international partnerships. I started at Orkestra as a researcher in 2006, developing projects in collaboration with another researcher and with territorial actors, which were mainly Basque local development agencies and cluster associations. From 2007 to 2012, I was the coordinator of the area of Clusters2, Innovation and Territorial Development at Orkestra, and during this period, I conducted several research projects while also managing a group of 12 people. In 2012, I was appointed general manager of Orkestra, and since then, my main role has been to lead Orkestra (a team of 34 people), and although I have participated in some research projects as a researcher, this has become a secondary role for me. My inspiration for ARTD when writing this chapter comes from Larrea (2019), where she shares her perspective on how ARTD evolved at Orkestra, transforming not only the Institute but also some areas in the University of Deusto. Although she incorporates the role of managers in her article, her perspective is, unavoidably, that of a researcher. In this chapter, I depart from that piece of work in order to incorporate the perspective of the management of research organisations in ARTD. Organisations and their management is a multidimensional issue, all of which could not be addressed in this chapter. That is why I focus on the feature that I consider to be more determinant in my management role: my leadership style. During the last few years, I have consciously reflected on and worked to develop my leadership style, and the framework that has helped me most is Ignatian leadership (its secular equivalent is service leadership). There are different Catholic reform movements relevant to AR, such as the Franciscans, the liberation theology, etc. My approach, the Ignatian one, is based on the Society of Jesus. I studied at and now work at the University of Deusto, a private university owned by the Society of Jesus. According to Guibert (2016, p. 6), Ignatian leadership is inspired by the life and experience of Ignatius of Loyola. Based on the analysis of Ignatius’s life and the documents he wrote, Guibert (2017a) highlights the main features of Ignatian Leadership. I use the following for this paper: (1) to be a person with many aspirations who wants to change things, people and institutions (Ignatian magis); (2) to be a person who trusts others and who puts others at the centre so as to serve them; (3) to be a person who finds collaborators and knows how to collaborate; (4) to be a person capable of thinking of new ways of institutionalisation and organisation that serve the mission and who takes care of his/her organisation and its sustainability; (5) to be a person who cares about human qualities in the organisation. As Guibert (2017b, p. 14) also highlights, Ignatian leadership is totally compatible with service leadership, because the service dimension is fundamental in both types of leaderships. Dierendonck (2011) defines service leadership as of leaders who combine their motivation to lead with a need to serve. Service leadership is demonstrated by empowering and developing people, by expressing humility, authenticity, interpersonal acceptance and stewardship, and by providing direction. With this theoretical background in mind, I pose a twofold research question that inspires this chapter. How has my style of leadership influenced AR? And how has AR influenced my style of leadership? To answer these questions, I have gathered data on my management role in the different stages of the development of ARTD at Orkestra. Combining the concepts in the theoretical framework with my experiences at Orkestra, I share a discussion of the role that research institute managers play in the development of AR. The aim of the discussion is not to generate any pattern, which I cannot do based exclusively on my own experience, but rather to help researchers better understand the managerial perspective, and also to help managers reflect on their challenges when developing environments for AR.

A seed towards a sustainable food system in healthcare institutions: the case of the Basque Country
(Routledge, 2023-03-17) Alberdi Aresti, Goiuri ; Magro Montero, Edurne; Aranguren, Mari Jose ; Begiristain Zubillaga, Mirene
Public procurement of food is seen as a critical tool for a paradigm shift and for facilitating the development of specific policy objectives to build sustainable food environments. Furthermore, the harnessing of the purchasing power of hospitals, prioritizing local and sustainable food, offers the potential to transform food production systems into more resilient production models and bring them in line with current European sustainability strategies. This paper analyses the current situation of sustainable food procurement strategies in Osakidetza, the Basque Health System, and identifies the challenges and action plans needed to develop a sustainable food strategy. Sustainable food procurement is still incipient in Osakidetza. This roadmap proposal is a basic but necessary contribution as a starting point. Likewise, we find contributions from agroecology that are interesting for the construction of sustainable food environments in health systems.
Smart specialisation strategies and energy transition an exploratory: analysis of the case of the Basque Country
(Gobierno Vasco = Eusko Jaurlaritza, Departamento de Economía, Trabajo y Empleo = Ekonomia, Lan eta Enplegu Saila, 2021) Magro Montero, Edurne; Wilson, James Ralph; Aranguren, Mari Jose
Energy transition is a core element of the sustainability transition around which the European Union’s post-COVID recovery strategies are built. While these strategies are being designed primarily by EU Member States, the regional level will be critical for their success. Firstly, because regions are key ‘implementers on-the ground’ of European and national policies. Secondly, because the placespecificities of regions make them ideal ‘laboratories’ for experimenting with the innovations needed for sustainability transitions. This opens an important research question around how regional innovation policy, and more precisely how the regional smart specialisation strategies (S3) that have been developed over recent years, could provide a ‘ready-made’ framework for discovery and experimentation oriented explicitly to energy transitions. This paper explores this question by combining discussion of the concepts of S3 and energy transitions with an exploratory analysis of the S3 experience in the specific case of the Basque region. The paper highlights that moving from a S3 to a Sustainable S3 (or S4) will require enhancing the connectedness of different parts of existing strategies so that energy transition goals are approached in a holistic manner.
