Abstract: There is currently a paucity of literature focusing on the relationship between the actions of staff members, who perpetrate some form of computer abuse, and the organisational environment in which such actions take place. A greater understanding of such a relationship may complement existing security practices by possibly highlighting new areas for safeguard implementation. To help facilitate a greater understanding of the offender/environment dynamic, this paper assesses the feasibility of applying criminological theory to the IS security context. More specifically, three theories are advanced, which focus on the offender’s behaviour in a criminal setting. Drawing on an account of the Barings Bank collapse, events highlighted in the case study are used to assess whether concepts central to the theories are supported by the data. It is noted that while one of the theories is to be found wanting in terms of conceptual sophistication, the case can be made for the further exploration of applying all three in the IS security context.

Abstract: While hackers and viruses fuel the IS security concerns for organisations, the problems posed by employee computer crime should not be underestimated. Indeed, a growing number of IS security researchers have turned their attention to the ‘insider’ threat. However, to date, there has been a lack of insight into the relationship between the actual behaviour of offenders during the perpetration of computer crime, and the organisational context in which the behaviour takes place. To address this deficiency, this paper advances two criminological theories, which it is argued can be used to examine the stages an offender must go through in order for a crime to be committed. In addition, this paper illustrates how the two theories, entitled the Rational Choice Perspective and Situational Crime Prevention, can be applied to the IS domain, thereby offering a theoretical basis on which to analyse the offender/context relationship during the perpetration of computer crime. By so doing, practitioners may use these insights to inform and enhance the selection of safeguards in a bid to improve prevention programmes.

In search of an analytical frameworkTvedten, Kaja; Wendelboe Hansen, Michael; Jeppesen, Søren (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In light of recent enthusiasm over the African private sector, this paper reviews the existing empirical literature on successful African enterprises and proposes an analytical framework for understanding African firm success. Overall, it is argued that we need to develop an understanding of African firm strategy and performance that takes into account the specificities of the African business environment and African firm capabilities. The paper starts by juxtaposing the widespread pessimistic view of African business with more recent, optimistic studies on African firms’ performance. The latter suggests that profound improvements in African business performance are indeed under way: with the private sector playing a more important role as an engine of growth, with the rise of a capable African entrepreneurial class, and with the emergence of dynamic and competitive African enterprises. The paper proceeds to review the limited research on factors shaping the performance of African enterprises. It is observed that particularly the strategic component is often overlooked as is the role of internal capabilities and resources of African enterprises. Based on this identification of voids in the literature, the authors suggest an analytical framework for understanding African business performance, underlining the interplay between contextual specificities, firm capabilities, and firm strategy.

Abstract: Artiklen er resultatet af en undersøgelse af 154 virksomheder foretaget indenfor et samlebegreb, der her benævnes 'Moderne Økonomistyrings-Værktøjer' (MØV). MØV omfatter her: Activity Based Costing, Activity Based Management, target costing, lifecycle- costing, kaizen costing, Total Quality Management, ikkefinansielle performance mål, quality costing, cost of engineering, strategic costing, Business Excellence Modellen, Balanced Scorecard, videnregnskab, Economic Value Added, samt Shareholder Value. Disse begreber er udvalgt, da de vurderes at være de mest kendte og mest omdiskuterede såvel i teorien som i praksis. De inkluderede værktøjer er således ikke udtømmende for listen af nyere økonomistyringskoncepter og ledelsesmodeller. Data er indsamlet ved hjælp af et spørgeskema udsendt dels postalt dels via e-mails. Formålet har været at få en form for state-of-the-art viden på området. Dette betyder, at der kun er få forklarende virksomhedsvariable inddraget. Undersøgelsen viser bl.a., at økonomistyringen i disse år bevæger sig ind på nye områder, men at dette kun sker langsomt og med et rimeligt stort time-lag til følge, i forhold til hvornår et given koncept første gang blev eksponeret i litteraturen. Et andet resultat er, at ABC og Balanced Scorecard rangerer på et højt niveau, når man ser på kendskab, hvorimod Kaizen Costing og Strategic Costing ligger forholdsvist lavt, trods det faktum, at disse i teorien har været kendt i langt længere tid. Dog ser det ud til, at de sidstnævnte mere tekniske og mere veldefinerede koncepter umiddelbart giver en større nytte. Et tredje resultat er, at trods relativt godt kendskab og en positiv holdning,er den konkrete anvendelse af koncepterne langt mindre end først antaget.

Could Prosperity Backfire?Priks, Mikael; Poutvaara, Panu (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Empirical evidence reveals that unemployment tends to increase property crime but that it has no effect on violent crime. To explain these facts, we examine a model of criminal gangs and suggest that there is a substitution effect between property crime and violent crime at work. In the model, non-monetary valuation of gang membership is private knowledge. Thus the leaders face a trade-off between less crime per member in large gangs and more crime per member in small gangs. Unemployment increases the relative attractiveness of large and less violent gangs engaging more in property crime.

Abstract: Empirical research has made progress in developing indicators for the measurement of technological competences. A so far unmet challenge, however, is to trace the patterns of relationships among key variables at the firm level as they unfold in the context of the industry dynamics. The aim of the present paper is therefore to develop the methodology required to search for patterns of relationships among such key variables (R&D investments, technology and performance), to trace these patterns over time and thereby unfold the underlying industry dynamics. We are here referring to the possibility of using statistical methods such as Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) to trace similarities and dissimilarities among a set of variables - as opposed to testing simple linear and non-linear causal relations. We extend the previous use of MDS to further include what is known as "external unfolding." Using this proposed methodology, we derive an "industry space" that allows identification of the tendency to form groups, and to infer the stability of such groups of firms sharing similar conditions.

An analytic fixation on constitutive dynamicsPlotnikof, Mie (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper an analytic scope is elaborated in order to unpack the complexities of constitutive dynamics co-producing managerial subjects in discursive practices of public management work (my empirical field). Such framing is proposed in order to grasp the dynamic complexity of multi-modal, power-infused processes of subject formations, that is, the significant discursive practices through which different enacting forces constitute selves, actions, procedures and/or materials as managerial matters with specific normative effects. In this view managerial subjectivity becomes a question of analysing power-infused processes of active and passive performing subject formations that manage meanings of managerial matter, selves, affect conditions of actions and ways of organizing. Public management work is an interesting field to such; with the rapid changes seen in many OECD-countries, embedded managerial subjects and relating phenomena become in fluxes of binary tensions between shifting modernization discourses (e.g. in terms of ‘New Public Management’ or ‘New Public Governance’). With such the significance of formal managers are often stressed to changing ways of organizing (Bislev et al. 2002, Pedersen & Hartley 2008). But how do certain ‘selves’, ‘doings’, ‘things’ come to matter managerially in everyday management work, managing meanings and conditions of selves, others and actions? By analysing the socially embedded co-productions of managerial work, we can nuance research accounts on the performance of manageability in organizing processes. But grasping such complexity calls for discourse analytics sensitive to social-psychological aspects of constitutive dynamics, a need this paper contributes to.

Abstract: This paper suggests a method for determining rigorous upper bounds on approximation errors of numerical solutions to infinite horizon dynamic programming models. Bounds are provided for approximations of the value function and the policy function as well as the derivatives of the value function. The bounds apply to more general problems than existing bounding methods do. For instance, since strict concavity is not required, linear models and piecewise linear approximations can be dealt with. Despite the generality, the bounds perform well in comparison with existing methods even when applied to approximations of a standard (strictly concave) growth model.

Abstract: This working paper is a case study about the development of a faience product line in Royal Copenhagen and illustrates several aspects of how, at what stages of development, and by whom, cultural products in general are evaluated. Three theoretical issues emerge. One concerns the constraints imposed upon design and production by the use of materials and, to a lesser extent, technology. Another argues that product development has to take place within a particular brand and genre – in this case, those of Royal Copenhagen. A third reveals the way in which the design and manufacture of a particular cultural product had to be negotiated within a particular organizational world embracing both management and workers, with differentiated skills. These issues lead to a more general discussion of craftsmanship and storytelling. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8338 Files in this item: 1

Comparing digital piracy to legal alternatives for film and musicVeitch, Robert; Constantiou, Ioanna (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Technologies enabling digital piracy have expanded the variety of options available to users when deciding how to access a product. As a result, access-mode decisions for film and music are broader than for other goods where the piracy option is not as prevalent. This paper presents a model of access-mode decisions for film and music which integrates elements of previous digital piracy models and expands upon them to reflect the decision?s complexity. We depict the access-mode decision as being influenced by the user?s product desire, price perceptions, perceived risks, internal regulators of behaviour, resources and legal availability. We test the model for film and music using causal data of access-mode decisions collected from students at two Danish universities. Our findings indicate that the economic considerations of price perception and legal availability are the most consistent factors in influencing the access-mode decision across different legal options. The paper concludes with an outline for future research. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8569 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: User experience measurement is important for HCI research and for the in-dustry that produce interactive services and products. We want to develop a context-aware user experience measurement. In this paper, we propose a user experience measurement scale, and discuss how to validate the scale in different contexts, implement the scale in context aware prototypes, and evaluate the prototypes in real-life user contexts. The main contribution of this paper is to combine existing concepts of user experience and context-aware computing in one context aware user experi-ence measure. We are not going to develop new definitions of neither UX nor context-awareness, but simply combine the two. The background for our paper is the importance of enabling organizations to provide high quality interactive experiences to customers and citizens; to empower citizens in our emerging digital societies to assess and be critical towards interactive solutions presented to them; and to support HCI re-searchers and others with reliable and valid instruments to score, compare, and analyse user experience. We focus on measurement of UX in the shopping context(s). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8706 Files in this item: 1
