Abstract: This paper explores why and how HRM matters for knowledge transfer within multinational corporations. It is built upon the premise that there are certain HRM practices influencing extrinsic and intrinsic motivation of knowledge receivers. It is found that complementarity among HRM practices exists but does not always have a positive effect on knowledge transfer. Three hypotheses derived from these arguments are tested on data from 92 subsidiaries of Danish multinational corporations located in 11 countries.

Minbaeva, Dana B. (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This chapter introduces HRM practices that help MNCs to overcome knowledge transfer barriers (knowledge-driven HRM practices). It argues that MNCs can institute various HRM practices that impact knowledge transfer barriers associated with behavior of knowledge senders and receivers. HRM practices relevant for absorptive capacity of subsidiary employees form two groups – cognitive (job analysis, recruitment, selection, international rotation, career management, training and performance appraisal) and stimulative (promotion, performance-based compensation, internal transfer, orientation programs, job design and flexible working practices). The application of cognitive HRM practices enhances the ability of knowledge receivers to absorb transferred knowledge, while the use of stimulative HRM practices increases their motivation. Temporary and permanent types of international assignments respectively influence the ability and motivation of expatriate managers to share their knowledge.

Minbaeva, Dana B. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to determine and empirically examine the effect of human resource management practices on knowledge transfer within multinational corporations. It is suggested that the employment of human resource practices, which affect absorptive capacity of knowledge receivers and support organizational learning environment, is positively related to the degree of knowledge transfer to the subsidiary. Moreover, the higher degree of knowledge transfer is expected when human resource management practices are applied as an integrated system of interdependent practices. Hypotheses derived from these arguments are tested on the data from 92 subsidiaries of Danish multinational corporations located in 11 countries.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The paper supports the idea that organizations can institute various internal structures, policies and practices to overcome transfer barriers and facilitate the degree of knowledge transfer. I discuss a framework for future empirical research on the relations between human resource management (HRM) practices and knowledge transfer in multinational corporations (MNC). The proposed model is empirically testable, includes a wider range of HRM practices and is not limited to one mode of foreign operations only.

A Strategic Management Analysis on Activity‐levelØrberg Jensen, Peter D.; Petersen, Bent (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this exploratory study we look at human asset aspects of offshore outsourcing of services that over time become more advanced and strategic potent to the outsourcing firms. As a consequence, the outsourcing firms might want to internalize the operations. We focus on the ways that outsourcing firms may transfer key personnel of local service providers to whollyowned subsidiaries. We argue that a felt need for applying more powerful incentives on key personnel of the service provider ‐ to harness and empower the sourcing operation ‐ may in itself be a motive for, and key driver of, the internalization process.

Abstract: Human capital has often been discussed in transaction cost economics, particularly in connection with understanding the employment relation. This chapter reviews Williamson’s thinking on the issue, explains how it differs from Coase and Simon’s, and briefly discusses the relevant empirical literature. The chapter also covers property rights theory, and discusses various critiques of the treatment of human capital in transaction cost economics.

Abstract: This paper studies the link between a firms education level, export performance and wages of its workers. We argue that firms may escape intence competition in international markets by using high skilled workers to differentiate their products. This story is consistent with our empirical results. Osing a very rich matched worker-firm longitudinal dataset we find that firms with high export intensities pay higher wages. However, an interaction term between export intensity and skill intensity has a positive impact on wages and it absorbs the direct effect of the export intensity. That is, we find an export wage premium, but it accrues to workers in firms with high skill intensities.

Abstract: This paper argues that the conceptualization of the human, the computer and the domain of use in competing lines of UX research have problematic similarities and superficial differences. The paper qualitatively analyses concepts and models in five research papers that together represent two influential lines of UX research: aesthetics and temporal UX, and two use situations: using a website and starting to use a smartphone. The results suggest that the two lines of UX research share a focus on users’ evaluative judgments of technology, both focuses on product qualities rather than activity domains, give little details about users, and treat human-computer interaction as perception. The conclusion gives similarities and differences between the approaches to UX. The implications for theory building are indicated. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8705 Files in this item: 1

The Case of Amnesty InternationalVestergaard, Anne (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The development of corporate communication in recent years has brought about a fading of the division of labor between commercial and non-commercial organizations. While the practices of commercial organizations are becoming increasingly ethicalized, so the practices of non-profit organizations are becoming increasingly commercialized. This paper explores the use of media discourse for the communication of ethical messages by humanitarian organizations, caught, as they are, in a tension between, on the one hand, the commercial strategies of visibility and still greater dependence on the media, and, on the other hand, the public’s skepticism toward mediated morality and what is commonly referred to as compassion fatigue. The issue is investigated through an analysis of a TV spot produced by the Danish section of Amnesty International in 2004. This spot is taken as an example of how the organization’s branding strategies testify to a high degree of reflexivity about the conditions of what Luc Boltanski calls a Crisis of Pity. The analysis illustrates how, in the face of compassion fatigue, the organization manages to carve out a new space for itself in the marketized ethical discourse, and leads to a discussion of the consequences of such rebranding for the construction of morality by the organization.

A Model for Analysing the Progress of Knowledge Development in Developing Country FirmsLehmann, Sanne (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses the crucial call for upgrading to more value-added production in developing country firms in the light of increased global competition and suggests that such upgrading demands a shift in focus from investment in technology to investment in people, knowledge and learning. In this line of thinking, the aim is to propose a model for analysing the progress of knowledge improvements in developing countries as an outcome of the management of human, social and organisational capital. In this regard, the paper considers relevant practices and strategies in the context of developing country firms, the challenges that effect firms and institutions in this process, and the appropriate level and method of the analysis.

Abstract: We survey, organize, and discuss the literature on the role of organizational practices for explaining innovation outcomes. We discuss how individual practices influence innovation, and how the clustering of specific practices matters for innovation outcomes. Relatedly, we discuss various possible mediators of the HRM/innovation link, such as knowledge sharing, social capital and network effects. We argue that the causal mechanisms underlying the HRM/innovation links are still ill-understood, calling for further research. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8516 Files in this item: 1

NordiCHI Workshop on Crisis management training: design and use of online worlds, Reykjavik, Iceland, 16 October 2010Clemmensen, Torkil; Ulslev Pedersen, Rasmus (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Internet- and sensor based ICT systems for climate management in greenhouses presents challenges for the understanding of how technology mediates the interaction between humans and specific work contexts, which is the topic of the field of Human Work Interaction Design (HWID). In this paper, we will analyze and discuss how to combine empirical work analysis with interaction design techniques, with a focus on sensor-based prototypes. The proposed method is action research that will use a combination of theory from usability, work analysis, and prototyping techniques. We wish to investigate possibilities for designing, using and evaluating interactive sensor based prototypes for designing systems, learning key skills, and enhancing current training methods, all of this in a work context.

En undersøgelse af, hvordan handicappede på arbejdsmarkedet ser sig selv og ses af deres ledere og kollegerMik-Meyer, Nanna; Kolding, Rasmus; Bossen Nielsen, Charlotte (København, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Nærværende forskningsprojekt er finansieret af Ludvig og Sara Elsass Fond, der i efteråret 2012 inviterede mig til et møde med henblik på et eventuelt samarbejde. Spastikerforeningen havde rettet henvendelse til fonden for at indgå et samarbejde om et projekt, der skulle vise, hvilke forhold der gjorde sig gældende for mennesker med cerebral parese (fremover CP), der var ansat på det danske arbejdsmarked. De to parter var især interesseret i at få belyst, hvilke erfaringer ledere og kolleger havde i forhold til at arbejde sammen med medarbejdere med CP, da dette var et område, man vidste meget lidt om.

En institutionsetnografisk undersøgelse af hverdagen i psykiatriske organisationerPetersen, Anne (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne afhandling er en institutionsetnografisk undersøgelse af, hvordan det psykiatriske arbejde praktiseres og forstås af ledere og medarbejdere på et behandlingspsykiatrisk hospital (Hospitalet) og et socialpsykiatrisk bosted (Bostedet). I undersøgelsen besvarer jeg tre spørgsmål: Hvilke hverdagslogikker former tilgangen til det psykiatriske arbejde? Hvordan former de forskellige hverdagslogikker tilgangen? Og hvordan sameksisterer forskellige hverdagslogikker i hverdagen i organisationer? Begrebet hverdagslogik er en operationalisering af begrebet institutionel logik fra den ny-institutionelle teori. Institutionelle logikker er defineret som praksisser, antagelser, overbevisninger, værdier og regler, der findes meningsfulde indenfor et fællesskab, og har en formende indvirkning på, hvordan fællesskabet agerer. Institutionelle logikker har ofte været anvendt til at undersøge, hvordan fællesskaber agerer på et makro- eller meso-niveau, mens der efterlyses forskning i, hvordan institutionelle logikker former praksis på mikro-niveau. Ved at operationalisere begrebet institutionel logik som hverdagslogik undersøger jeg hvilke praksisser, antagelser og værdier, der former det psykiatriske arbejde i hverdagen på Bostedet og Hospitalet. I forskningen om institutionelle logikker har der været en tendens til at undersøge, hvordan få institutionelle logiker former et fællesskabs praksis. Herved er det overset, at fællesskabers praksis ofte formes af konstellationer af flere institutionelle logikker. Ved at designe denne afhandling som an afdækning af hvilke hverdagslogikker, der former det psykiatriske arbejde, og en undersøgelse af hvordan de gør det, undersøger jeg netop sådan en konstellation af hverdagslogikker. Dette muliggør, at jeg også kan beskrive, hvordan de forskellige hverdagslogikker, der former det psykiatriske arbejde på forskellige måder, sameksisterer i hverdagen i organisationerne.
