Motivational and Perceptual ChallengesEllegaard, Chris (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Problems are inevitable in buyer supplier relationships. Purchasing professionals spend considerable time solving operational problems, such as those pertaining to quality and delivery performance. This paper reports on a qualitative study of problem solving processes in three buyer-supplier relationships. These processes are time consuming, costly, and involve a number of actors in both the buying and supplying companies. The theoretical framework that forms the basis for the study is the problem solving model of Lang, Dittrich, and White (1978). The findings show that coordination of problem perceptions and motivation of all involved actors are main challenges for the responsible problem solver. Furthermore, communication plays a vital role to mobilize the involved actors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8230 Files in this item: 1

Exploring a New Indicator to Predict Financial PerformanceHallin, Carina Antonia; Tveterås, Sigbjørn; Andersen, Torben Juul (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores a new judgmental forecasting indicator, the Employee Sensed Operational Capabilities (ESOC). The purpose of the ESOC is to establish a practical prediction tool that can provide early signals about changes in financial performance by gauging frontline employees’ sensing of changes in the firm’s operational capabilities. We present the first stage of the development of ESOC by applying a formative measurement approach to test the index in relation to financial performance and against an organizational commitment scale. We use distributed lag models to test whether the ESOC can predict financial performance. Monthly data were collected from frontline employees in three different companies during an 18-month period, and the initial results indicate that the ESOChas predictive power.

Un estudio sobre emigrantes norteamericanos en un pueblo mexicanoBalslev Clausen, Helene (Frederiksberg, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Den traditionelle migrationsforskning betragter Mexico, som et typisk faktor eller transit land, samt har sit fokus på migrationsflowet fra Syd (Latinamerika) til Nord(USA). Dette case studie derimod bidrager empirisk med identifikationen af en ny type immigranter, angelsaksiske noramerikanere, som i stadigt større omfang emigrerer fra Nord(USA) til Syg(Mexico), hvilket som noget nyt også gør Mexico til et pull faktor land.....

Abstract: According to the Competition Act, a merger that impedes eective competition signi cantly, in particular by creating or strengthening a dominant postition, shall be prohibited. To decide whether this is the case the authorities need a quanti able model of the relationship between the variables that are directly aected by the merger and some measure of competition. In this paper we set up and calibrate a simple model of the interaction of the retail and the wholesale markets for high-end cosmetics in Denmark based on the Matas case. The model predicts that the acquisition of Matas - comprising roughly half of the market for high end cosmetics - may have a significant on retail prices and that the authorities had good reasons for making its approval conditioned on the removal of a number of contract-based barriers to entry. Analytically the main results are: (1) In a linear model with constant marginal costs the optimal wholesale prices are unexpected by the structure in the retail sector. (2) The ect on of buyer-power induced quantity dioscounts depends on the speci c design of the scheme: A relative discount on the list price the independent shops are charged increases the average retail price; A xed reduction relative to the pre-merger price reduces the average retail price). (3) Buyer-power induced retail price maintenance (RPM) increases the average retail price. RPM increases the competitiveness and pro ts of the merged shops if producers keep whole-sale prices unchanged. If, however, the producers adjust their wholesale prices, then RMP hurts merged and independent shops alike and benefits only the producers.

A Study of Product Launches in the Swedish Pharmaceutical IndustryFraenkel, Stefan C. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This research identifies a set of key success factors for sales force readiness, for driving the success of a new product launch within the pharmaceutical industry. Drawing from the analysis of fifty product launches in the Swedish pharmaceutical market, the study has succeeded in discriminating between four types of key success factors: the key factors that are important and crucial for a successful launch; the key factors that are important yet not necessarily crucial for a successful launch; the market conditions that are most ideal for a successful launch, and finally the type of newness of the product that is most suitable for successful launch. The overall aim of the research project was to provide guidance in optimizing the sales force readiness during the launch of a new pharmaceutical product. The research question is driven by the great importance and high cost of the sales force, together with the need for the pharmaceutical companies to continuously launch new products in a marketplace with increased challenges for all parts of the business. The research approach divides the research into two main parts. The first part reviews earlier studies/findings in the literature, collects empirical data in the form of six case studies and conducts six expert interviews with the purpose of formulating a Research Model. In the second part, the Research Model and its variables are quantitatively tested against fifty launched pharmaceutical products in Sweden. The study employs a bottom-up analysis method with Partial Least Squares Analysis, being predictive in nature, rather than the more conventional top-down and hypothesis-testing approach that typically employs regression analysis methods. In order to provide both practitioners and researchers with guidance on the results, its interpretation is presented in terms of its managerial implications as well as proposals for further research.

Abstract: Det kommunale landkort gennemløber netop i denne tid en markant forandring. Strukturreformen initierer en omvæltning af den offentlige sektor ikke set siden kommunalreformen i 1970’erne. Nye tider er på vej. Nye grænser trækkes – være det sig geografiske, opgaverelaterede, stillingskategoriske, organisatoriske- og styringsmæssige. Dette working-paper er et bidrag i diskussionen om strukturreformen og den generelle moderniseringsproces i den offentlige sektor. Det griber fat i en kommunal enhed, der allerede har gennemløbet en del af de omvæltninger, som landets øvrige kommuner pt. står overfor, nemlig Bornholms regionskommune. I paperet foretages en uvildig undersøgelse af regionskommunens nye styreform og administrative organisering, der er igangsat i kølvandet på kommunensammenlægningen i 2003. Working-paperet er desuden publiceret som en rapport i BUPL-regi (Januar 2005). Rapporten/working-paperet er således skabt på initiativ af BUPL (Forbundet for pædagoger og klubfolk), særligt BUPL-Bornholm. En tak skal derfor lyde til BUPL (Lars Feldt, Ulla Kjærgaard og Leif Kjærgaard) for finansiering af projektet og for information omkring aktuelle problematikker og udfordringer i og omkring Bornholms regionskommune. Vi takker desuden de interviewede fra regionskommunen for at have givet os en indsigt i facts, problemskitseringer og scenarieopstillinger – og på den måde bidraget til at give analysen kraft. Forud for rapporten er foretaget et pilotprojekt, der fungerer som inspirationskilde og vidensgrundlag for nærværende rapport/working-paper. Der skal derfor lyde en stor tak til de deltagende studerende for et grundigt analytisk og indsigtsfuldt arbejde. Rapporten/working-paperet henvender sig til såvel praktikere i og omkring Bornholms regionskommune, som forskere, konsulenter, studerende og øvrige interesserede i organisations- og strukturforandringer samt styrings- og ledelsesmæssige problematikker i en kommunal sammenhæng.

Some Foundational IssuesFoss, Nicolai J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract This talk addresses the interaction of knowledge and organization in IB research, particularly research on the MNC. The argument is made that although the MNC literature is quite advanced with respect to its treatment of firm-level knowledge, several connected problems remain. In particular, there has been an over-emphasis on knowledge flows and an under-emphasis on knowledge stocks; the microfoundations of MNC knowledge are unclear; and there is a no clear understanding of the causal relations between knowledge stocks and flows and organizational control. A control theory approach that may resolve some of these problems is then sketched. Keywords The MNC, knowledge, organizational control, control theory.

Abstract: The internal scientific evaluation of knowledge claims done by peer review is todayhas for the last 20 years been supplemented by new methods of knowledge assessment. These methods are usually taken from other sectors such as the public administration and the corporate sector. Because of their different backgrounds compared to the peer review method, it is necessary to critically examine them in relation to assessment of quality. But this also calls for a new understanding of science and knowledge. The article starts by briefly explaining this new understanding, before going into more details on the new methods of knowledge assessment and the perspectives behind them.
