PublicationBeyond projection : Using visualization in conducting interviewsPurpose - This article argues for the reflective use of visual techniques in qualitative inter-viewing and suggests using visuals not only as projective techniques to elicit answers, but also as facilitation techniques throughout the interview process. Design/methodology/approach - By reflecting on their own research projects in organization and management studies, the authors develop a practical approach to visual interviewing - making use of both projective and facilitation techniques. The article concludes by discussing the limitations of visualization techniques, and suggesting directions for future research on visually-enhanced interviewing. Findings - The article's contribution is two-fold: First, it explains how the introduction of visual facilitation may improve the interview process, while also bringing advantages for the ensuing phase of data analysis. Second, it suggests a practical approach for the integration of visual projection and facilitation into qualitative research. Originality/value - This article is reflective of what is currently occurring in the field of qualitative interviewing, and presents a practical approach for the integration of visual projec-tion and facilitation into qualitative interviews.Type: journal articleJournal: Qualitative Research in Organization and ManagementVolume: 9Issue: 2

PublicationCaring for Clarity in Knowledge CommunicationKnowledge communication is an essential mechanism to facilitate intra- and inter-organizational knowledge transfer. In order to improve the efficiency of knowledge communication, organizations need to pay particular attention to the clarity of conveyed knowledge in order not to create confusion, misunderstandings, or misapplication of knowledge. In this contribution, we show where and how the concept of clarity matters for knowledge management in general, and for knowledge communication in particular. We review and operationalize the clarity concept so that it can become the object of a systematic management effort. Furthermore, we show ways of how clarity can be pro-actively and systematically managed. We have tested our conception of clarity in a survey on clarity in knowledge-focused presentations, and we present the results in this article. An outlook on future research on clarity in knowledge management concludes the contribution.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Universal Computer ScienceVolume: 17Issue: 10

PublicationThe risk concept and its application in natural hazard risk management in Switzerland(European Geophysical Society, 2009-05-27)
;Bründl, Michael ;Romang, HansRheinberger, ChristophOver the last ten years, a risk-based approach to manage natural hazards - termed the risk concept - has been introduced to the management of natural hazards in Switzerland. Large natural hazard events, new political initiatives and limited financial resources have led to the development and introduction of new planning instruments and software tools that should support natural hazard engineers and planners to effectively and efficiently deal with natural hazards. Our experience with these new instruments suggests an improved integration of the risk concept into the community of natural hazard engineers and planners. Important factors for the acceptance of these new instruments are the integration of end-users during the development process, the knowledge exchange between science, developers and end-users as well as training and education courses for users. Further improvements require the maintenance of this knowledge exchange and a mindful adaptation of the instruments to case-specific circumstances.Type: journal articleJournal: Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesVolume: 9Issue: 3Scopus© Citations 108 -
PublicationThe Swiss Virtual Campus Project NAHRIS : Experiences from a MultidisciplinaryThe overall goal of the Swiss Virtual Campus project Dealing with Natural Hazards and Risk (NAHRIS) is to create a common educational course program that compiles the most recent knowledge in the field of natural hazards and risk management. Several higher education institutes from all parts of Switzerland were involved in the realization of this Internet course platform presenting a total of 87 learning units available online at www.nahris.ch. NAHRIS is primarily targeted at university students at the bachelor of science level. The main novelty of NAHRIS lies in the holistic examination of the natural hazard and risk management domain including technical, environmental and social aspects. Therefore, it enjoys growing popularity among researchers and practitioners employed in these working areas.Type: journal articleJournal: International Journal on E-LearningVolume: 8Issue: 2
