International Competition and Industrial Districts in the Italian Fottwear IndustryLorentzen, Jochen (København, 2003)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: ABSTRACT The paper analyses the effect on manufacturers in Italy’s footwear districts of international competition, and investigates the underresearched nature of the link between international competition and the internal cohesion of districts. It addresses if and how global competition provokes the (partial) geographic fragmentation of local supply chains, dislocating select local parts manufacturers in its wake. The findings suggest that when international competition threatens the viability of local production, firms with the requisite organisational capabilities delocalise parts of the value chain. This helps them to retain competitive advantages but it also reduces agglomeration. This insight should inform regional development policy. Keywords: Industrial districts, footwear industry, international competition, delocalisation URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6552 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: E-business is marching on in several markets, but not in one important one: the grocery market. The lesson learned in the last ten, fifteen years, from brick-and-mortar supermarkets going online, is, that it is very difficult to profit from digitalizing the daily buying of groceries. All consumption research shows that online grocery business still has a lot of functional, e.g. technical and sensory, disadvantages to offline ditto. Apparently it is not much easier to plan, choose and buy groceries online than in the traditional retailer/supermarket. Some of the relative few experienced grocery consumers supports the theory that one may save some time and effort getting ones groceries packed and delivered, but to the majority this is obviously just not good enough, especially when accounting the delivery fee. However, the functional disadvantage explanation cannot stand alone as an answer to why online grocery business is not more of a success - and it may even be overrated. New sales channels have always had the "disadvantage" of not functioning like/as good as the old ones. To me, another interesting issue to the subject seems to be about consumer values and how their practising is not supported in this new sales channel....

Resume: Artiklen indeholder en diskussion af Værdipapirhandelslovens forbud mod insider handel. Der redegøres for tesen om effektive markeder. Med udgangspunkt i økonomisk teori redegøres for argumenter for et forbud. Der argumenteres for at, at insiderforbudets økonomiske berettigelsen med fordel kan støttes på tesen om effektive markeder. Det er i modsætning hertil blevet gjort gældende i den nyeste børsretlige teori, at den økonomiske teori om effektive markeder ikke er et adækvat grundlag for insider reglerne, og at denne teori bør erstattes af den såkaldte Lemon-teori, formuleret af Akerlof. Artiklen gør gældende, at det ikke er uden problemer at overføre Akerlof’s teori til de finansielle markeder, eftersom der ikke tages hensyn til markedets selvregulerende mekanismer, som mindsker problemet med asymmetrisk information. Artiklen afsluttes med en diskussion af de reguleringsmæssige konsekvenser som følge af valg af det økonomiske grundlag for insiderforbudet.

Resume: This paper tests whether accurate sales forecasts for Nike are possible from Facebook data and how events related to Nike affect the activity on Nike’s Facebook pages. The paper draws from the AIDA sales framework (Awareness, Interest, Desire,and Action) from the domain of marketing and employs the method of social set analysis from the domain of computational social science to model sales from Big Social Data. The dataset consists of (a) selection of Nike’s Facebook pages with the number of likes, comments, posts etc. that have been registered for each page per day and (b) business data in terms of quarterly global sales figures published in Nike’s financial reports. An event study is also conducted using the Social Set Visualizer (SoSeVi). The findings suggest that Facebook data does have informational value. Some of the simple regression models have a high forecasting accuracy. The multiple regressions have a lower forecasting accuracy and cause analysis barriers due to data set characteristics such as perfect multicollinearity. The event study found abnormal activity around several Nike specific events but inferences about those activity spikes, whether they are purely event-related or coincidences, can only be determined after detailed case-bycase text analysis. Our findings help assess the informational value of Big Social Data for a company’s marketing strategy, sales operations and supply chain. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9448 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: The 1990s have been a period of extraordinary politics in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This chapter discusses how the transition from state to market has created bureaucratic barriers to entry, but also windows of opportunity for foreign direct investment (FDI). The high costs and high investment risks associated with FDI in CEE are a reflection the institutional development. Thus, inflows of FDI have been largest in those countries that made most progress in establishing a market-oriented institutional framework. After outlining trends of institutional change and their impact on FDI, this chapter discusses how aspects of the institutional framework and FDI policy affect diverse types of investment projects. Acquisition and Greenfield investors are concerned with different aspects of government policy: privatization and regulatory policies for acquirers and investment incentives, regional policy and special economic zones for Greenfield investors. The shifting policy priorities have thus changed the types of projects undertaken by foreign investors in the region. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7106 Filer i denne post: 1

Searching for impact in Mali and South AfricaJeppesen, Soeren; Mainguy, Claire (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Little is known about impact of FDI on economic development in Africa compared to other developing countries, which the paper seeks to address by focusing on examples of impact in Mali and South Africa. The arugment put forward is that the impact has to be identified at the level of the industry or sector and the level of the firm with regard to employment effect, income generation and skills development. The mining and electricity and railway sectors in Mali are investigated and compared to the automobile industry in South Africa. The paper ends with suggestions for future investigations which can shed more light on the pertinent issues about impact of FDI in Africa. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6760 Filer i denne post: 1

Do We Observe “Creative Destruction” in China?Deng, Poul; Jefferson, Gary (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: We adopt the framework of Schumpeterian creative destruction formalized by Aghion et al. (2009) to analyze the impact of foreign entry on the productivity growth of domestic firms. In the face of foreign entry, domestic firms exhibit heterogeneous patterns of growth depending on their technological distance from foreign firms. Domestic firms with smaller technological distance from their foreign counterparts tend to experience faster productivity growth, while firms with larger technological distance tend to lag further behind. We test this hypothesis using a unique firm-level data of Chinese manufacturing. Our empirical results confirm that foreign entry indeed generates strong heterogeneous growth patterns among domestic firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8594 Filer i denne post: 1

A Case Study of PakistanAnwar, Amar; Mughal, Mazhar (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This study examines the differential response of various international financial flows to the post 9/11 episode of terrorism in the context of a South Asian country. Using monthly data for the period from January 2003 to December 2014, we analyze the impact of terrorism in Pakistan on the inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI), portfolio investments, and migrant remittances. We find that FDI decreases substantially as a result of terrorist activity, whereas portfolio investments show little change. In contrast, migrant remittances show a significant increase. These differences are also evident in financial flows from major source regions and top sending countries. The results are robust to the use of alternative definitions and indicators of terrorism as well as the inclusion of various macroeconomic variables. These findings indicate that foreign private capital flees an economy suffering from terrorism whereas migrant remittances are the only financial flows that increase during difficult times.

Resume: Does foreign ownership enhance or decrease a firm’s chances of survival? Over the 100 year period 1895-2001 this paper compares the survival of foreign subsidiaries in Denmark to a control sample matched by industry and firm size. We find that foreign-owned companies have higher survival probability. On average exit risk for domestic companies is 2.3 times higher than for foreign companies. First movers like Siemens, Philips, Kodak, Ford, GM or Goodyear have been active in the country for almost a century. Relative foreign survival increases with company age. However, the foreign survival advantage appears to be eroded by globalization, it decreases over time and disappears at the end of the century.

Skabelse af forestillinger i læge- og plejegrupperne angående relevans af nye idéer om kvalitetsudvikling gennem tolkningsprocesserAlbæk, Jens (Frederiksberg, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The aim of this dissertation is to identify how ideas of organisational development are incorporated into and employed in hospital departments. The dissertation focuses on the conceptions of professional identity among doctors and nurses, their conceptions of clinical practice and the ideas of development they are introduced to. The health professionals’ conceptions of development and practice are connected to their perception of ‘professional relevance’ in the dissertation. This conception of ‘professional relevance’ thereby forms a recurring expression of conceptions among the actors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7806 Filer i denne post: 1
