Slovenia Maribor COER – Leadership and Management

2. Introducing the mini case

When scholars conducted research into various ABA practices (see Kretzmann and McKnight, 1993; reference to this project), they found that various organisational situations arise. The same conclusion was also reached during the research into the ABA in Slovenia, since the way in which individual teams were established influenced how their work tasks were distributed, what sort of group dynamic was established, and how motivated the team members were, etc. Moreover, the way in which the ABA was funded also played a substantial role in aforementioned matters. 

You will now watch an animation about the ABA, as well as about the leadership and management aspects that were inspired by the results of cases studies related to the ABA projects in Slovenia. In the Context of the Artefact sub-page, you will then be presented with more information about the analysed ABAs. The two activities will provide some basic insights into the issues surrounding the leadership and management of ABA projects and/or teams using the ABA method. Furthermore, in the Critical Questions sub-page, you will be asked to answer a few questions that will encourage you to reflect on how you have or could have tackled such issues. You will receive answers provided by participants in our case studies and by scholars on these matters. This will enable you to compare your answers with the ABA practitioners and experts in organisational behaviour.
