Eine bessere Art, Geschäfte zu machen? Lehren aus der John-Lewis-Partnerschaft
| Zusammenfassung | Currently, and most especially since the economic crisis of 2008 began to bite, commentators, politicians and policy makers of all kinds of persuasion have advocated 'The John Lewis Model' as a leading alternative solution to the business practices in the wider economy which are thought to have contributed to the difficulties now encountered. Advocacy of the model is also sometimes based on the idea that such an alternative approach could be a constructive way to cope with the recession irrespective of its original cause. The Cabinet Office has sponsored a Pathfinder Mutual's initiative which is championing the idea of co-ownership - most notably in the public sector including the NHS. In January 2012, the Deputy Prime Minister explicitly advocated the John Lewis model for firms throughout the wider economy. Partly as a result of this attention, and partly because of its commercial success when other retailers are struggling, the John Lewis Partnership finds itself consulted by organizations large and small seeking insight into the potential for transferability of its methods. In such a climate, there is a danger of over-selling the model. In collaboration with the Chairman and the Board, we have been asked to help analyse the component elements of the JLP approach to business and to employment and to help assess the potential and the conditions for replicability in other organizations. As our User Referee organizations might indicate, there are prima facie reasons to believe that some organizations, under the right conditions, can borrow at least some characteristic features of the model. In tune with the Knowledge Exchange Scheme purposes, the main impact will be to raise awareness and deepen understanding of the much-discussed JLP model with particular focus upon its potential for wider adoption and the conditions governing such adoption. The aims and objectives of this Knowledge Exchange Proposal are to: describe, clarify and evaluate the operational reality of the JLP model and to make this knowledge available for discussion and scrutiny both internally and externally; seek to establish the importance of the various constituent components of the approach and the nature and extent of the mutual interplay between them; clarify the link between the model - in part or whole - and performance; clarify the potential for the wider adoption of the model and the conditions governing its successful transfer; and to hold a series of workshops with internal and external audiences to examine the workings and the implications of the model and its practice. The John Lewis Partnership approach appears to be familiar (the ownership structures, the formal processes of consultation and representation). But, the practical workings, both at strategic and operational levels, are not well understood. In a dynamic and fast-moving retail environment, managers in the Partnership are faced with numerous challenges which test their abilities to use and work with the model. It is through a detailed analysis and an informed discussion about how such dilemmas are handled in practice, that most value will be found both internally and externally. Peer-reviewed publications arising from this grant will be registered on the Open University's open access institutional repository - Open Research Online (ORO) at http://oro.open.ac.uk. ORO is now one of the largest repositories in the UK. The site receives an average of 40,000 visitors per month from over 200 different countries and has received over 1.6 million visitors since 2006. It enables access to research outputs via common search engines including Google, by using the OAI (Open Archives Initiative) Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. |
