Organizational challenges for CSR communication in social mediaEtter, Michael; Morsing, Mette; Castello, Itziar (Amsterdam, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: Social media hold promises for companies to engage with a variety of stakeholders about CSR issues and thereby enhance stakeholder relationships. However, by implementing a social media strategy companies face different constraints. With this paper barriers diminishing stakeholder dialogue in the Web 2.0 are identified. Design and methodology: With a single case in‐depth‐study we analyze the implementation of a communication strategy of a recently launched CSR‐twitter‐account of a European based pharmaceutical company leading in CSR. Data is derived from interviews with four managers with central roles in strategy formulation and implementation. Findings: Five factors diminishing stakeholder dialogue are identified: Lack of resources, unfamiliarity with social media, managerial scepticism, internal guidelines and culture, and external regulations. These barriers prevent basic principles of relationship building online, such as regular updates or conversational human voice. Research limitations: With a single case study the representative value of the results is limited. However, the results give valuable insights into the challenges and concerns management faces when implementing a CSR communication strategy in social media. Practical implications: The results show that organisational constraints have to be addressed in order to implement a successful social media strategy. We therefore argue that corporate communications has to increasingly emphasis organisational aspects. Originality: To date, only little research has been done about CSR communication in social media. Furthermore, the research paper presents highly relevant and new findings by drawing the attention to organizational rooted challenges of corporate communication and strategy implementation.

Schneider, Cédric (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper describes and analyzes the occurrence and extent of oppositions initiated against plant biotechnology patents granted by the European Patent Office (EPO). The opposition mechanism is a legal procedure that allows any third party to challenge the validity of patents awarded by the EPO. Results indicate that the opposition rate is far greater in plant biotechnology than in other emerging industries. Consistent with theoretical predictions, the empirical findings suggest that opposed patents are disproportionately those that score high on features that proxy for their “value” or “quality”. In contrast to previous findings, however, the results show that large-volume applicants are more likely to be opposed. Because the boundaries of plant biotech patents are ill-defined, large patent portfolios do not promote cooperative behavior such as licensing or settlements. The analysis rejects the hypothesis that awardees are subject to “nuisance” or “frivolous” oppositions. Instead, the opposition procedure serves as an error correction mechanism.

Abstract: We make the case that psychologists should make wider use of structural econometric methods. These methods involve the development of maximum likelihood estimates of models, where the likelihood function is tailored to the structural model. In recent years these models have been developed for a wide range of behavioral models of choice under uncertainty. We explain the components of this methodology, and illustrate with applications to major models from psychology. The goal is to build, and traverse, a constructive bridge between the modeling insights of psychology and the statistical tools of economists.

Supply Chain ManagementGammelgaard, Britta; Bentzen, Eric; Aagaard Andreassen, Mette (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This report is based on the survey "Industrial Companies in Denmark – Today and Tomorrow", section IV: Supply Chain Management - Practices and Performance, question number 4.9 on performance assessment. To our knowledge, this survey is unique, as we have not been able to find results from any compatible survey. The International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) does bring up the question of supply chain management, but unfortunately, we did not have access to the database. Data from the members of the SCOR-model, in the form of benchmarked performance data, may exist, but are nonetheless not public. The survey is a cooperative project "Benchmarking Danish Industries" with CIP/Aalborg University, the Danish Technological University, the Danish Technological Institute and Copenhagen Business School as consortia partners. The project has been funded by the Danish Agency for Trade and Industry. The present survey was developed and conducted in the period of 2001-2003.

The European Undergraduate Research-Oriented Participatory Education (EU-ROPE) At Copenhagen Business SchoolTackney, Charles T.; Strömgren, Ole; Sato, Toyoko (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: While the knowledge management literature has addressed the explicit and tacit skills needed for successful performance in the modern enterprise, little attention has been paid to date in this particular literature as to how these wide-ranging skills may be suitably acquired during the course of an undergraduate business school education. This paper presents case analysis of the research-oriented participatory education curriculum developed at Copenhagen Business School because it appears uniquely suited, by a curious mix of Danish education tradition and deliberate innovation, to offer an educational experience more empowering of essential tacit knowledge skills than that found in educational institutions in other national settings. We specify the program forms and procedures for consensus-based governance and group work (as benchmarks) that demonstrably instruct undergraduates in the tacit skill dimensions of knowledge thought to be essential for success following graduation.

Abstract: Denne afhandling indeholder en retsdogmatisk analyse af beskatning af derivater efter gældende dansk ret. Derivater er finansielle instrumenter, hvis værdi direkte afhænger af værdien af en eller flere underliggende aktiver. De mest kendte derivater er futures, forwardkontrakter, optioner og swaps. Derivater handles flittigt på det finansielle marked og anvendes til at hedge uønskede risici, spekulere i fremtidige markedspriser og udnytte eventuelle arbitrage muligheder. Begrebet derivater anvendes ikke i dansk skatteret. Generelt er kontrakter, der betegnes som forwardkontrakter (terminer) og optioner (aftaler om køberetter og salgsretter) omfattet af det skatteretlige begreb finansielle kontrakter. Beskatningen af finansielle kontrakter er særskilt reguleret i Kursgevinstloven og en analyse af reglernes anvendelsesområde udgør den primære del af afhandlingen. I analysen af den skatteretlige behandling af derivater analyseres to grundlæggende problemstillinger; kvalifikation og behandling. Kvalifikationen af instrumenterne og det tilhørende afkast er essentiel, eftersom den samlede skattepligtige indkomst og formue inddeles i flere indkomsttyper, som kan underlægges en differentieret skatteretlig behandling. Kvalifikationen af finansielle instrumenter følger af KGL §§ 29 og 30. Herefter er terminskontrakter, købe- og salgsretter samt strukturerede fordringer omfattet af begrebet finansielle kontrakter og derfor de særlige regler om generel lagerbeskatning. Det følger af forarbejderne, at reglerne ligeledes finder anvendelse for finansielle kontrakter, der indgår som et delelement i en samlet aftale. I den forbindelse er det vurderet hvorvidt og i givet fald hvornår, finansielle instrumenter skal kvalificeres som ét samlet instrument eller alternativt splittes op i delkomponenter. Dette skal ses i lyset af, at derivater alene eller i kombination med andre finansielle instrumenter netop kan anvendes til at duplikere afkastet på andre transaktioner. Visse typer af kontrakter er positivt undtaget efter KGL § 30 under opfyldelse af leveringskravet, kravet om ingen afståelse og ingen modgående kontrakter.1032 Generelt skal de undtagne kontrakter beskattes sammen med det underliggende aktiv. Dette er formentlig også årsagen til, at betingelserne for undtagelsen er, at den finansielle kontrakt er tæt knyttet til ejerskab af det underliggende aktiv.

Er Nørbyrapportens anbefalinger til gavn for aktionærerne?Rose, Caspar (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract: This article presents an empirical analysis of board composition and financial performance using a unique sample of Danish listed firms. In 2002, a group consisting of four prominent business leaders formulated Denmark’s own code of good corporate governance, entitled the Nørby report, The report consists of various recommendations aiming at strengthen Danish firms competitiveness and value creation including some specific recommendations concerning board composition. However, the analysis shows that none of the recommendations impact Tobin’s Q. Specifically, board size, proportion of insiders, positions held by board members in other firms do not significantly impact Tobin’s Q. The analysis only finds that the average age of the board has a significantly negative impact on performance. Board diversity, measured by the fraction of women and foreigners in boards as well as the educational background of board members does not impact performance either.

Re-Conceptualising Notions of Chinese-ness in a Southeast Asian Business cum Societal ContextJacobsen, Michael (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores the role of the Chinese in a Southeast Asian business cum societal context; from different approaches towards Chinese-ness over different notions of intra- and inter-ethnic relation ending up with a critique of the idea of a Chinese diaspora in a Southeast Asian context. The paper furthermore argues that a culturalist reading of Southeast Asian Chinese modes of engaging in capitalist practices and societal entrenchments constitute a deception that produces a variety of stereotypes of Chinese-ness thus disregarding the complexity and dynamic developments within the ethnic Chinese community region-wise. Finally, in relation to Chinese business practices in a Southeast Asian context the paper suggests that cultural notions of guanxi and xinyong do not form a basis for doing business the Chinese way, only options, that intra-ethnic relations do not play an important role in transnational Chinese linkages, and that contemporary conceptions of Chinese identity are always negotiated with the dominant ‘other’ so as to secure the construction of an economic ‘room’ or space from where business can be conducted in an overall societal acceptable manner. Key words: Ethnic Chinese, diaspora, entrepreneurship, ethnicity, identity URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7408 Files in this item: 1

Enriching software process improvement with knowledge managementHansen Hansen, Bo (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne afhandling er at belyse, hvorledes softwarevirksomheder kan forbedre deres udviklingspraksis ved at udnytte deres vidensressourcer bedre. Afhandlingen belyser dette ved at besvare følgende forskningspørgsmål: • Hvorledes kan en softwarevirksomheds videnstyringsstatus bestemmes med henblik på at kunne identificere vidensrelaterede forbedringsområder? • Hvorledes kan forbedringer af sådanne områder planlægges via design og tilpasning af nye organisatoriske tiltag til styrkelse af organisationens læringsmuligheder? • Hvorledes kan sådanne forbedringsinitiativer faciliteres og implementeres for at sikre accept og fortsat udvikling? Afhandlingen er en del af det nationale forskningsprojekt Softwareprocesser og Viden og er udarbejdet som et aktionsforskningsprojekt hos softwarevirksomheden Systematic Software Engineering i Århus. Afhandlingen leverer, foruden forbedringer i den involverede organisation, teoretiske og metodiske bidrag til softwareprocesforbedringsfeltet ved at vise hvorledes teoretisk input fra vidensstyringsfeltet kan integreres i og styrke softwareprocesforbedringsfeltet, samt ved at vise hvorledes komplekse organisatoriske sammenhænge kan belyses ved at anvende en passende og fleksibel portefølje af analyse— og interventionsteknikker. Derudover bidrager afhandlingen med udviklingen af en balanceret teori om vidensstyring i softwareprocesforbedring. Til dette formål introduceres begreberne eksemplarisk og situeret videnstype og normativ og reflektiv processforbedring. Afhandlingen anskueliggør desuden, hvorledes et længerevarende samarbejdsbaseret studie har bidraget med resultater internt i case-organisationen ved at designe og tilpasse en ny projektevalueringsproces, der er baseret på et skifte mod en situeret vidensorganisation ved aktivt at involvere de eksisterende ekspertnetværk i organisationen. Gennem designet af denne ny proces belyses, hvorledes Softwareprocesforbedringsfeltet på et teoretisk niveau styrkes igennem integration af teorier fra beslægtede felter. Afhandlingen viser, hvorledes kulturanalyse og videnskort kan anvendes som softwareprocesforbedringsteknikker. Derudover antyder afhandlingen en balanceret teori om vidensstyring i softwareprocesforbedring, der beskriver betydningen af at søge en ligevægt imellem den herskende organisatoriske videnstype (eksemplarisk vs. situeret) og softwareprocesforbedringsmetode (normativ vs. reflektiv). Slutteligt viser denne afhandling, hvorledes et længerevarende forskningsprojekt, inspireret af aktionsforskning, kan styres og fokuseres igennem anvendelsen af Collaborative Practice Research URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7902 Files in this item: 1
