An Inquiry into Subjective and Social Technology at WorkBojesen, Anders (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The Performative Power of Competence undersøger hvad kompetence bliver i en række konkrete arbejdspraksisser. Afhandlingen viser hvordan kompetence ikke blot handler om individuelle eller organisatoriske opkvalificeringsprojekter, men indebærer en social værdidom (om det kompetente og ikke-kompetente) hvilket betyder at kompetence ikke længere kan ses som "et underliggende karakteristika ved individet på arbejde” men må forstås som en dobbelt bevægelse; det vil sige som en samtidig udpegning af et problem (behov for at lære noget nyt) og en løsning (forudsætning for at skabe effektive og attraktive arbejdspladser). Afhandlingen betjener sig af et stort empirisk materiale fra den offentlige sektor der omfatter fire kompetenceudviklingsforløb, gennemført i perioden 2004-2006. Materialet er skabt i et samarbejde med fire konsulenter, hvor forfatteren selv har været til stede og har bidraget til udformningen af kompetenceudviklingsprocesserne. Formuleret kort markerer kompetence en særlig ideologisk tilværelse, der betoner proaktivitet, selvrefleksivitet og en aktiv tagen ansvar for organisationens mål. Et symptom på denne kompetenceideologi er når offentlige institutioner inviterer konsulenter indenfor for at uddanne coaches og forandringsagenter og skabe tværgående teams, der igen har til formål at skabe øget fleksibilitet, tværgående samarbejde og projektorganisering. Kompetencens performative kraft består i den samtidige diagnose af mangelstilstanden og udmåling af den rette behandling. For konsulenten bliver det et problem, hvis vedkommende ikke kan tilvejebringe den rette diagnose og kur, idet intet er værre end at få diagnosticeret et problem uden at få stillet den rette behandling i udsigt. Samtidig hævder afhandlingen også, at det vil være farligt for ikke at sige umuligt endeligt at kurere den mangelstilstand som kompetence producerer. Fx kan modstand mod forandring og kritik af det bestående ikke blot elimineres som kværulanteri, men må ses som væsentlige elementer i transformationen af det selv-skabende, selv-refleksive, ansvars-tagende subjekt. Kompetencens performative kraft legitimerer transformationen af subjektet så længe subjektet finder tilfredsstillelse, ikke i de enkelte afgrænsede kompetenceudviklingsaktiviteter, men i den uendelige søgen efter et kompetent jeg.

Japanese Advertisements on the Aesthetic Education of DesireSato, Toyoko (, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: En længdesnitsundersøgelse fra 1969 til 1990 af de japanske stormagasiner Seibu og Parco under den tidligere Saison Groups auspicier (Japan) viser måden, hvorpå betydning udtrykkes og anfægtes som diskurs i det senmodernistiske forbrugersamfund. Kritisk diskursanalyse (CDA) støttet af omfattende, kvalitative interview af agenter og forbrugere har gjort det muligt at udnytte begreberne femininitet og begær, som Judith Butler har beskrevet i forbindelse med performativitet – det domæne, hvor styrke fungerer som diskurs – i reklamekampagner, der fx involverer værker af Ishioka Eiko. Butlers definition af begæret efter anerkendelse er med til at udtrykke, hvordan begæret manifesteres i samfundet, og hvorledes femininiteten har ændret sig over tid. Diskurs fremføres ikke blot som bestående af sprog- og billedtekst, men indeholder også to yderligere dimensioner: produktion, distribution og forbrug samt de sociale normer i en bestemt periode på det sted, hvor de pågældende diskurser er til stede. I forhold til den specifikke case fremhævede Saison Group kunst som en form for symbolsk kapital. Denne symbolske kapital var tæt forbundet med datidens økonomiske og sociale kræfter, og den virkede legitimerende for Seibu og Parco, der var efternølere inden for branchen. Måden hvorpå Parco kombinerede byggemodning og presseenheder med strategisk involvering af forbrugere og folk fra mediebranchen afspejles i begrebet “organisatorisk symbiose”. Succesen er afledt af den bestemte æstetik, der anvendes i deres reklamer. Reklamerne fungerede så til gengæld som en kanal og en slags æstetisk opdragelse i forhold til begær, som effektivt var med til at forme datidens subjektivitet.

Resume: The purpose of this paper is to study careers and income conditions of performing artists in Denmark on the basis of national statistics. The paper uses three different criteria for defining performing artist, and looks at the implications observed on careers and income conditions. The three different criteria for defining performing artists are: 1) Having a job as performing artist, 2) Graduation from a performing art school, and 3) Membership of professional performing artist’s association. The paper has focus on three questions: How are the income conditions of performing artists in the period 1996 – 2007? How are the career length and patterns of the performing artists in Denmark? How is the careers related to the income conditions of the artists? The results concerning the living conditions for performing artists shows in general very low income levels for most of the artists, and only about 1/3 of them are working within the theatre sector. A regression model for 2007 shows a positive effect on earning of age, being a man, working in Copenhagen capital area, having work experience, having a basic actor education, and work as a dancer/choreograph or as an actor/director. The analysis of career length shows that most performing actors have very short careers of one or two years. Cross-tabulations for 2007 shows that those with short careers in general have very low income, while those with longer careers have substantial higher income, and most of them have an income high enough to make a living.

Resume: Brugerne af de danske uddannelsesinstitutionernes hjemmesider er slet ikke tilfredse. Bedst på Nettet har gennem de sidste fem år placeret institutionernes hjemmesider nederst, når det kom til både brugervenlighed og kvaliteten af betjeningen. Alligevel viser en helt ny undersøgelse fra CBS, at lederne af de selv samme institutioner endog er meget optimistiske og tilfredse, når de skal evaluere medarbejdernes it-kompetencer og anvendelsen af dem. "Det er et meget tankevækkende paradoks, som undersøgelsen viser, når vi sammenligner den med brugernes hårde dom de sidste 5 år. Noget kunne tyde på, at der er store udfordringer for lederne med at koble brugernes oplevelse af hjemmesiderne og de kompetencer som medarbejderne har sammen. Det entydigt positive billede af it-kompetencerne som vores undersøgelse afdækker kan tolkes positivt; at der er håb forude, men også negativt; at der mangler informationskanaler til lederne, der hjælpe dem med at vurdere, hvordan det står til med medarbejdernes reele it-kompetencer," fastslår professor Kim Viborg Andersen, der er ophavsmand til undersøgelsen. Der har medvirket over 700 ledere fra folkeskolerne, erhvervsskolerne og de videregående uddannelsesinstitutioner i undersøgelsen. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6472 Filer i denne post: 1

The Role of Web 2.0 Tools for Managing Knowledge at Individual and Organisational LevelsRazmerita, Liana; Kirchner, Karhrin; Sudzina, Frantisek (Frederiksberg, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Purpose – This paper discusses new approaches for managing personal knowledge in the Web 2.0 era. We question whether Web 2.0 technologies (social software) are a real panacea for the challenges associated with the management of knowledge. Can Web2.0 reconcile the conflicting interests of managing organisational knowledge with personal objectives? Does Web 2.0 enable a more effective way of sharing and managing knowledge at the personal level? Design /methodology/approach – Theoretically deductive with illustrative examples. Findings – Web 2.0 plays a multifaceted role for communicating, collaborating, sharing and managing knowledge. Web 2.0 enables a new model of PKM that includes formal and informal communication, collaboration and social networking tools. This new PKM model facilitates interaction, collaboration and knowledge exchanges on the web and in organisations. Practical implications – Based on these findings professionals and scholars will gain a better understanding of the potential role of Web 2.0 technologies for harnessing and managing personal knowledge. The paper provides concrete examples of how Web 2.0 tools are currently used in organisations. Originality/value – As Web 2.0 has become integrated in our day-to-day activities, there is a need to further understand the relationship between Web 2.0 and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM).

Imaginary Interventions?Meier, Frank; Tangkjær, Christian (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The purpose of this study is to explore how managerial agency is constructed through three relational strategies: i. between self and institutional context, ii. between self and social context, and iii. between self and oneself. The empirical source is a database of assignments by some 270 students, participating in a one year Personal Leadership Development course within a Master of Public Governance 2009 – 2012. The context of the study is the accelerated changes in Danish Public Sector, and how these changes impact managers and their organisations under dominant management discourses, New Public Management and New Public Governance etc. The empirical analysis – initiated in this paper - explore if a žižekian approach can make sense of the managers ‘fantastic’ reliance on leadership and management tools and concepts to complete the (likewise) fantastic promises of organisational change brought in from the above. The originality of the project (in total) stems partly from the unique and rather massive data material, partly from the introduction of žižekian concepts into leadership research.

Resume: Gennem ca. 11 års erhvervserfaring fra den danske kopimaskine branche har je g opnået indsigt i et særdeles konkurrencepræget marked (nærmere beskre vet i appendiks 1). Det er disse erfaringer, der har etableret det indledende oplæg og dermed skabt selve bevæggrunden og motivationen til dette forskningsprojekt. Introduktionen til denne afhandling tager derfor udga ngspunkt i egne praktiske erfaringer, erhvervet i kopimaskine virksomheden Winkelhorn . Winkelhorn er en mindre vi rksomhed med ca. 60 ansatte og en omsætning på ca. 200 millioner kr. Virkso mhedens indtjening er baseret på salg og servicering af kopimaskiner og printere til både o ffentlige- og private kunder. Udover direkte salg afsætter Winkelhorn også en betydelig volumen via mellemhandlere, såsom kontorforsynings- forhandlere og forhandlere som udelukkende fokuserer på salg af kopi/print udstyr. Her blev de indledende øvelser eksekveret til det, der senere skulle danne grundlaget for denne afhandlings forskningsområde. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8319 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: The growing practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has led to increasing research attention in the literature to the role of CSR strategy. CSR strategy is a concept for maximizing profits or benefits for both society and the company. Studies of CSR strategy during the 1990’s and the early 2000’s were mainly limited to examining the concept of CSR, and merely discussed the needs and importance of the strategic development of CSR. Recently, strategy researchers have proposed more specific CSR strategies by applying their knowledge of strategic management. This paper first summarizes these CSR strategy studies and then proposes an approach to CSR strategy from a new perspective. This paper also identifies issues that a company may face when implementing CSR and suggests approaches to CSR strategy to overcome these issues. To overcome the CSR issues, the paper discusses (1) a framework for recognizing the contribution that CSR activity makes to corporate performance, and (2) approaches to CSR strategy for resolving tradeoffs inherent to the CSR activity. This paper proposes that a company design its CSR activity so that it expands the company’s stakeholders, resources and capabilities. Secondly, because the impact of CSR activity occurs both through external factors, such as legitimacy and reputation, and through internal factors, such as implementation and learning, efforts to stimulate the processes are discussed. Lastly, based on the above considerations, the outcome of CSR, corporate performance and the resolution of tradeoffs inherent to CSR are further examined. This paper concludes by pointing out that, from the perspective of CSR strategy, it is most important for a company to implement CSR activity regarding it as a social business, based on a careful review of its core business.

Resume: I never became interested in philosophy primordially or originally. There is no source event or transformation that I can recall as being the defining moment. Stating ‘It began here!’ would be misleading… I am not even certain that I originally attained an interest, or even that I still am interested in philosophy as a privileged object of investigation and investment ‐ an aim in itself. There are, however, moments and situations in my life where an interest in philosophy has appeared or is necessarily forced upon me; these are times when philosophy appears as a seemingly unavoidable and essential questioning of fundamentals,– as a ‘basic’ need. This being said, it can be annoying as well as cumbersome. Philosophy as a ‘basic’ need makes itself felt as an estrangement that has always already taken place. It takes the form of a “Schritt zurück” in which one pulls away from, problematizes and reconsiders the given, including the given sense of community, its presuppositions and even the given self. As now, where I find myself writing this at a seaside hotel and consider whether I would prefer to stroll to the restaurant and chat with friends rather than continue taking pains to scrutinize and reflect. Incidentally a well‐known ‘philosophical’ ‘solution’ or resort since Hume. Concurrently, however, I sense that this latter choice may be lacking in philosophical substance. In such situations, philosophy becomes equated with a tendency towards seclusion – even with being secluded from myself. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8810 Filer i denne post: 1

An Evaluation on Wu Kun’s Philosophy of InformationLi-qian, Zhou; Brier, Søren (Xi'an, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: WU Kun’s philosophy of information is the product of Dialectics of Nature coming from Stalin Textbook System and thought liberty movement in 1980s. It is a distinguish philosophy in Chinese style. This philosophical system begins with new founding of the area of objective unreality through re-dividing the field of existence which he called the world of information in itself. Actually, the concept of information in his system is different from information in common sense. So his philosophy of information is not the philosophy about information. A proper theoretical framework of information should be a framework covering objective laws, subjective meaning and intersubjective normativity.

A simple model for analysis of the business environmentMygind, Niels (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Societies all over the world are complex systems of human beings interacting with each other for making a living. Understanding these societies is essential for international business whatever the company interacts through foreign trade, outsourcing production or foreign direct investments - FDI. Choice of location makes it necessary to do an analysis of relevant foreign societies. The existing models for these analyses are often too simplified, static and without enough emphasis on key determinants for these societies – their institutions. The quality of institutions is an import part of the explanation for the level of development in different countries (WB 2002, IMF 2005, WEF 2006); but there is no simple link between institutions and economic performance (Rodrik 2004).

Resume: The practice of illegally copying and distributing digital games is at the heart of one of the most heated and divisive debates in the international games environment, with stakeholders typically viewing it as a very positive (pirates) or very negative (the industry, policy makers). Despite the substantial interest in game piracy, there is very little objective information available about its magnitude or its distribution across game titles and game genres. This paper presents a large-scale analysis of the illegal distribution of digital game titles, which was conducted by monitoring the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol. The sample includes 173 games and a collection period of three months from late 2010 to early 2011. With a total of 12.6 million unique peers identified, it is the largest examination of game piracy via P2P networks to date. Analysis of the data shows that games of the “Action” genre, which include the majority of major commercial AAA-level titles, comprise 45% of the unique peers in the dataset, although games from “Racing”, “Role-Playing Game” and “Simulation” genres have higher numbers of unique peers on average than “Action” games. The ten most pirated titles encompass 5.27 million aggregated unique peers alone. In addition to genre, review scores were found to be positively correlated with the logarithm of the number of unique peers per game (p<0.05).

Resume: Cities increasingly brand themselves as an attractive place for tourists, investors, business and workforce. Yet, most place branding efforts do not take the diversity of their stakeholders and the variety of place perceptions into account. Our study, however, reveals significant discrepancies between internal and external stakeholders’ mental representations of a place brand, using the city of Hamburg as an example. We therefore argue that place brand management needs to align its brand communication with stakeholders’ interests, using an integrated approach to developing city-specific strategies for building target group-specific place brand architecture.
