dc.description.abstract | Translation studies have shown that management ideas and practices change as they travel between contexts, and that there are regularities in how they are translated through editing. We, however, know less about what facilitates good translations, i.e. the translation of new ideas and practices into working practices or routines that contribute to the attainment of organizational goals. This study investigates how the concept of readiness for change can increase our understanding of translation processes and translation outcomes through following an intra-organizational translation of a new management idea and practice in a hospital. The aim is to identify how the use of editing rules in a strategic translation process impacts readiness for change. It is also to identify how readiness influences the use of editing rules and translation practices in an operative translation process and the resulting differences in the quality of translation outcomes. This study finds that strategic translations may foster readiness for change. Readiness furthermore enables inclusive operative translation processes in which editing practices and translation rules are used to thoroughly rework a new management idea and practice into a good translation. | en_US |
