Abstract: Social media has transformed the web into a hyper-connected social space that is inundated by a flood of social signals that reflects the activities of the members, and contributes to the dynamic of the interaction. In this context, the participants decode, process and emit information for making sense of this social world, and for acting upon it. The objective of this paper is to explore the implication of this setting for an application in the context of supporting creativity online. More specifically, we examine the effect of the massive circulation of this social information and its management on systems supporting the collective creative process online.

Film festival prize juriesMathieu, Chris; Bertelsen, Marianne (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This case focuses on juries that award prizes at film festivals. Prize juries usually award a preordained set of prizes to a preselected slate of films, but on grounds or criteria that are usually up to the actual jury itself to formally or informally establish and administer. The consequences of film festival prize jury allocations can accrue to many different groups and individuals. The most obvious beneficiaries are the persons associated with the films and roles that win prizes, though what the tangible benefits of winning prizes are depend both on what prize at what festival and still is a matter of debate. The film festivals themselves and their leadership also are impacted by the jury and its decisions, as these build or erode legitimacy and publicity for the festival. Likewise, the jury members themselves may receive a number of benefits from their jury work, as elaborated on below. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8661 Files in this item: 1

The Careers, Survival Functions and Income of ArtistsBille, Trine; Jensen, Søren; Vestergaard, Trine (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Many studies on the creative labor market have been done with the purpose to get knowledge on the creative workers employment, working conditions, income etc. (e.g. Alper and Wassall (2006), Throsby (2001), Throsby and Hollister (2003), Heian, Løyland and Mangset (2008), Abbing (2002). Most studies have been based on interviews and this approach has of course its pros and cons. Very few studies are based on true longitudinal data making it possible to study artists income development and survival in the professions (one exception is Coulangeon et al., 2005) The aim of this study is to analyze, comparatively for different groups of artists, the factors that affect 1) the income of artists, and 2) the probability of an artist exits the artists labor market. The paper compares different groups of artists, by looking at income functions and survival functions concerning risks to exit the labor market, using event history techniques (survival functions and Cox regressions).

Film Festival Research from an Organizational Studies PerspectiveRüling, Charles-Clemens; Strandgaard Pedersen, Jesper (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The annual film festival is a very European institution invented more than 60-70 years ago. As a research topic, however, film festivals have received surprisingly little and scattered attention within organization and management studies. Film festivals have recently met a mounting interest among film and media scholars. This article provides an introduction to the growing literature on film festivals and argues for a threefold research agenda within organizational studies by looking at film festivals as arenas of emergence, analyzing the role of film festivals within the global film industries, and studying film festivals as organizations. By suggesting this research agenda we intent to draw the attention of organization and management scholars to a hitherto overlooked and potentially promising area of research for organization and management studies.

Abstract: Singapore has embarked on an ambitious program to make the city-state into a significant player in the global creative economy. The country is being re-branded as a creative city. The government agrees that in the creative economy, the environment must be conducive to experimentation and innovation. As a result, more social and political spaces have been opened up to spur Singapore’s fledging creative economy and also to signal that the nation has become more transparent and tolerant. The authorities, however, still limit the freedom of public expression on political, ethnic and religious issues. The current state of ethnic-religious harmony and political status quo is to be preserved. Singapore remains a soft-authoritarian state. Can such a country then be branded as a place conducive to creativity and innovation? This paper shows how the Singaporean government: 1) introduces and implements a set of comprehensive policies to develop the creative economy; 2) brands and re-images the city-state as an exciting creative nation; 3) communicates the new creative vision and eventually engineers local acceptance of the creative economy; and 4) promotes the image of an open society and yet maintain tight social and political control. The re-making and re-imaging of Singapore are two sides of the same coin. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8145 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The scenario considered is that of a credit association, a bank or an- other nancial institution which, on the basis of information about a new potential customer and historical data on many other customers, has to decide whether or not to give that customer a certain loan. We discuss three popular techniques: logistic regression, discriminant analysis and neural networks. We shall argue strongly in favour of the logistic regression. Discriminant analysis can be used, and for reasons that can be explained mathematically it will often result in approximately the same conclusions as a logistic regression. But the statistical assumptions are not appropriate in most cases, and the results given are not as directly interpretable as those of logistic re- gression. Neural network techniques, in their simplest form, su er from the lack of statistical standard methods for veri cation of the model and tests for removal of covariates. This problem disappears to some extend when the neural networks are reformulated as proper statistical models, based on the type of functions that are considered in neural networks. But this results in a somewhat specialized class of non{linear regression models, which may be useful in situations where local peculiarities of the response function are in focus, but certainly not when the overall | usually monotone | e ect of many more or less confounded covariates is the issue. We discuss, within the logistic regression framework, the handling of phenomena such as time trends and corruption of the historical data due to shifts of policy, censor- ing and/or interventions in highrisk customers' economy. Finally, we illustrate and support the theoretical considerations by a case study concerning mortgage loans in a Danish credit associatio URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8131 Files in this item: 1

Limits on Economic Harmonization in The United States and The European UnionSweeney, Richard J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The U.S. Constitution importantly limits the degree to which the federal government can impose harmonization across member states. This paper reviews these limitations and how they have evolved substantially over time in the U.S. It also discusses some of the benefits and costs of such limitations, and argues that the EU may benefit from adopting similar limitations. Harmonization of EU tax codes is likely to be economically harmful. On theoretical grounds, tax rates are likely to be harmonized at a common rate that is higher than optimal for the EU. This suggests the benefits of constitutional provisions that make tax harmonization difficult to impose. Other types of harmonization have a less clear-cut costbenefit analysis. A federal commercial code that is uniform across member states reduces transaction and information costs, compared to leaving important code issues to member states; further, many states may keep codes for long periods that are sub-optimal compared to a given federal code. A federal code may, however, fit poorly with other institutions of member states, potentially causing large costs. Leaving codes to the states leads to competition across states, and may generate forces for change for the better. Competition also generates information about the effectiveness and costs of different commercial codes. Because any country’s initial code is likely to be sub-optimal, and is likely to become less optimal over time, information on how to improve codes is valuable. Likely it is easier to learn and adapt from member states than from other countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6806 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper reviews the IS security literature for the period 1990-2004. More specifically three security journals and the top twenty IS journals were examined. In total 1280 papers were analysed in terms of theories, research methods and research topics. Our research found that 1043 of the papers contained no theory. In addition, almost 1000 of the papers were categorized as ‘subjective-argumentative’ in terms of methodology, with field experiments, surveys, case studies and action research accounting for less that 10% (8.10%) of all the papers. Fifty nine research topics were identified with fourteen of these topics totaling 71.05% of the articles. This papers offers implications for future research directions on IS security, scholars to publish IS security research, tenure practice, and IS security classification schemas.

The relationship between evaluator and test userClemmensen, Torkil; Goyal, Shivam (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, we present the results of a pilot study in Denmark of cross cultural effects on Think Aloud usability testing. We provide an overview of previous research on cross cultural usability evaluation with a special focus on the relationship between the evaluator and the test user. This relation was studied in an experiment with usability testing of a localized clipart application in which eight participants from Denmark and India formed pairs of evaluator-test user. The test users were asked to think aloud and the evaluators’ role were to facilitate the test users thinking aloud and hereby identify usability problems with the clipart application. Data on the evaluators’ and test users’ behaviour were recorded and analyzed by coding and summarizing statistics on these behavioural events. The results show that Think Aloud Usability Test of a localized application is most effectively performed, in terms of number of think aloud events and number of usability problems found, when both the evaluators and the test users are local. These results are however limited to the Danish context and need to be investigated in other cultural settings. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6474 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Modern governmental approaches to CSR (corporate social responsibility) have two distinguishing traits: they tend to define competitiveness as their primary concern and to make use of liberal and indirect means of steering. Contributing to a political understanding of CSR and focusing empirically on developments within the EU, this paper approaches CSR governance in general and competitiveness-driven CSR governance in particular from the point of view of an analytics of governmentality – thus introducing governmentality studies to the field of CSR. The aim of the paper is first, conceptually, to make sense of the governmentality approach in terms of the practical brand of critique it embodies and its positioning vis-à-vis other comparable contributions to our understanding of the government of CSR. And second, analytically, to propose a framework for analyzing the governmentalities of CSR. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7908 Files in this item: 1

Advantages of strategic ambiguityMorsing, Mette; Langer, Roy (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper we analyze the construction of corporate social responsibility in the business press as an act of strategic ambiguity. While corporate social responsibility (CSR) generally evokes positive associations in public opinion, this paper demonstrates that these associations are based on a broadly encompassing and ambiguous definition of CSR. Our empirical data shows how the business press in its discourse on CSR provides no clarity on the definition of CSR in terms of a coherent motive, a dominant stakeholder or a consistent issue, but rather maintains ambiguity and imprecision about the meaning and content of CSR. While ambiguity and imprecision may be seen as an act of uncertainty in a passing stage when a new phenomenon emerges and develops, our longitudinal data demonstrates how ambiguity is preserved during a ten year period in four different daily newspapers. Ambiguity is systematically maintained in the business press. We refer to this process as strategic ambiguity. The paper discusses the potential value and limitations of framing CSR in a state of strategic ambiguity in the context of the concurrent rethinking of the role of business in modern welfare societies.

Micro‐blogging as a tool for Public RelationsEtter, Michael; Plotkowiak, Thomas (Boston, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This study explores how companies use the social media tool Twitter for CSR communication in order to establish good public relations. By analyzing CSR communication conducted by 30 most central corporate Twitter accounts, identified through social network analysis within a CSR‐Twitter‐network consisting of 19’855 Twitter members, we contribute to the understanding of Twitter’s role for CSR communication and public relations. Manually conducted content analysis of totally 41‘864 corporate Twitter messages gives insights into different strategies concerning intensity and interactivity of CSR communication. Based on theoretical foundations and empirical findings four CSR communication strategies for Twitter are developed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8529 Files in this item: 1

Kulturanalytisk casestudie om udfordringer og dilemmaer med at forankre Coops CSR-strategiRosenstock, Maja (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Ph.d.-projektet handler om forankringen af Coops CSR-strategi. Coop er, med sine 35.000 ansatte og 1200 butikker spredt ud over hele landet, Danmarks største dagligvarevirksomhed. Coop driver kæderne SuperBrugsen, Kvickly, Dagli’Brugsen, Irma og Fakta. De er ejet at Fællesforeningen for Danmarks Brugsforeninger (FDB), der igen ejes af 1,6 mio. danske forbrugere. Coop blev for nyligt udråbt som "CSR-områdets mediedarling", da de var den virksomhed i Danmark, der havde fået mest positiv CSR-omtale i medierne. Denne afhandling illustrerer, hvor svært det kan være, at praktisere CSR - selv for en virksomhed som Coop. Et af afhandlingens væsentligste bidrag er at undersøge forankringen af CSR-strategien, set indefra virksomheden selv, og på denne måde illustrere de mange udfordringer og dilemmaer, der er forbundet med at praktisere CSR. Netop kompleksiteten og de mange udfordringer og dilemmaer ved CSR-arbejdet beskrives sjældent. Tværtimod hører virksomhederne gang på gang om, hvordan CSR er en oplagt ’business case’, og om hvordan arbejdet med CSR skaber win-win situationer og giver konkurrencemæssige fordele. Afhandlingen kan dermed ses som en modvægt til de mange flatterende beskrivelser af CSR, som den direkte vej til bedre bundlinje og øget vækst. Således følger afhandlingen op på den strategiske tilgang til CSR og sætter denne under nærmere belysning. I afhandlingen diskuteres fordele og ulemper ved den strategiske CSR tilgang, ligesom det illustreres at implementeringen og forankringen af CSR-strategier langt fra er så ligetil, som det umiddelbart kan lyde, når CSR kontinuerligt beskrives som win-win situationer og konkurrencemæssige fordele.

Et casestudie om styring og meningsskabelse i relation til CSR ud fra en intern optikSkovmøller, Carina Christine (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Ph.d.-afhandlingen undersøger betydningen af ledelsens styringsform i forhold til medarbejdernes meningsskabelse omkring CSR. Herunder hvorvidt CSR som koncept påvirker medarbejderes forventninger til ledelsens styringsform og sensegiving, og i givet fald hvordan. Ligeledes hvilke virksomhedsinterne processer der viser sig at have indflydelse på ledelsens styringsform og medarbejdernes meningsskabelsesproces i relation til CSR. Afhandlingen er baseret på et longitudinelt studie i VELUX hovedkontor i Hørsholm, Danmark, i forhold til implementeringen af Sustainable Living, som er det overordnede mål for VELUX’ arbejde med bæredygtighed såvel internt som eksternt. Data er indhentet med to års interval i henholdsvis 2008 og 2010 og er baseret på 70 interviews med medarbejdere, mellemledere og ledelse i 2008 og 2010 samt observationsstudier i sammenlagt 2½ år. Sideløbende med disse undersøgelser har jeg deltaget i seminarer, projekter & møder, fulgt presseomtale om CSR i VELUX og undersøgt interne dokumenter med relation til CSR området.

Hansen, Rina; Bjørn-Andersen, Niels (, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper proposes a framework for assessment and design of B2C websites focussing on Web 2.0 and social media as vehicles for involvement of current and potential customers. Three overall strategic dimensions are proposed for characterization of websites, whether the 1) purpose is branding or e-commerce, 2) communication is one-way or two-way, 3) focus is transaction or innovation. When these three strategic binary dimensions are combined, we get 2 x 2 x 2 or a total of 8 different triplet combinations. The framework is used for an assessment of 15 fashion websites in the years 2006, 2008 and 2010. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8429 Files in this item: 1
