Evidens fra er-kontraktion og enhedstryk i danskAnker Jensen, Per (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne artikel udforsker interaktionen mellem fonologi og syntaks på grundlag af brugen af erkontraktion i dansk. Artiklen kortlægger de typiske kontekster hvor denne kontraktion er mulig og rejser derefter spørgsmålet om hvordan det kan forklares at kontraktion i andre sammenhænge er helt uacceptabel. Sammenlign eksempelvis Det er rart, hvor er typisk realiseres som en forlængelse af den udlydende vokal i det, med Fortæl ham hvor rart det er, hvor en tilsvarende sammentrækning af det og er er uacceptabel. Det vises at muligheden for er-kontraktion er forudsigelig ud fra et kendt samspil mellem syntaks og fonologi idet kontraktionsmuligheden – eller umuligheden - hænger tæt sammen med tryktabsforbindelser og enhedstryk, jf. fx Rischel 1983, Thomsen 1990, Hansen og Lund 1983, Hansen og Heltoft 2011, Basbøll 2005, Herslund 2005.

Erwartungen an Kommunikationstechnologie und -mitarbeiterPogner, Karl-Heinz (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Unternehmen, Institutionen und Organisationen setzen zunehmend auf elektronische Kommunikati-on (1). Vor diesem Hintergrund legt der Artikel erste Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie zum sozialen und technischen Umfeld der Text- und Medienproduktion in dänischen Organisationen vor. Kommuni-kations- und Informationschefs sowie Kommunikationsberater wurden befragt zu: Kommunikati-onsstrategie, Nutzung digitaler Kommunikationsformen und gewünschte Mitarbeiterqualifikationen (2, 3). Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse lauten: Das Intranet soll besser strukturiert und vereinfacht wer-den, ausserdem soll es vermehrt als Forum für den Dialog genutzt werden. Bei der Nutzung digita-ler Kommunikationsformen dominiert die E-Mail. Andere Medien wie Homepages oder TV/Film werden, je nachdem, ob sie der internen oder der externen Kommunikation dienen, als unterschied-lich bedeutsam gewertet. Bei den Mitarbeiterqualifikationen stehen persönliche und soziale Kompe-tenzen sowie Vermittlungsfähigkeiten und -fertigkeiten im Vordergrund, nicht technisches Spezia-listentum. Handwerkliches Können bei der Produktion von Texten und anderen Kommunikations-inhalten sowie generelles Wissen über Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Medien werden als wichti-ge Voraussetzungen für die Meisterung zunehmend strategisch geprägter Aufgaben angesehen (4). Da sich die Studie auf dänische Organisationen beschränkt, wären vergleichbare Untersuchungen in anderen Ländern wünschenswert (5). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6993 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article begins by clarifying and defining field and habitus (1) anchoring these concepts in a tradition drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, but also underlining the extent to which the concepts have been used beyond this tradition (2). The article then proceeds to discuss the use of field and habitus in international studies (3). It points out that field and habitus can be (and has long been) used for empirical studies linking the national, the international and the transnational. However, the concepts were imported into scholarly IR/IPE disciplines proper as part of the theoretical discussions surrounding the reflectivist turn. At present, field and habitus are often used to transcend the key divides (inside/outside and public/private) rather than to study relations across them. Finally, the article concludes on the avenues for further research using field and habitus in international studies, insisting on the scope for enhancing and clarifying the heuristic value of the concepts (4).

How Organizational Design Can Make Delegation CredibleFoss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Credible delegation of discretion obtains when it is a rational strategy for managers not to overrule employee decisions that are based on delegated decision rights or renege on the level of delegated discretion (and this is common knowledge). Making delegation of discretion credible becomes a crucial issue when organizations want to sustain the advantages that may flow from delegation: Such advantages are dependent on motivated employees, and managerial overruling or reneging is harmful to motivation. However, little work has been done on how organizations can make delegation credible. We argue that key elements of organizations (i.e., organizational structure, coordination mechanisms, reward structures, and interdependencies between activities) and how these fit influence the credibility of delegation. Fit configurations of organizational elements reduce the probability of managerial intervention that may harm employee motivation. This introduces a neglected incentive dimension to the organizational design literature. Moreover, it is argued that harmful intervention may be reduced by increasing managers’ costs of intervening. Refutable propositions are derived. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7427 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Denne afhandling handler om usikkerhed i projekter. I tre afgrænsede forskningsartikler analyserer afhandlingen, hvordan usikkerhed håndteres af projektledelsen i tre konkrete projekter. Udgangspunktet er en teoretisk fremstilling af usikkerhed, hvor især usikkerhedens sociale dimension, forstået som den meningsskabelse der foregår gennem projektdeltagernes handlinger og fortolkninger, er i fokus. Usikkerheden undersøges når den kommer til udtryk i de generelle betingelser for projektet, og i de konkrete uventede begivenheder, der opstår i projektet undervejs...

a case study of the implementation of the EU eigth directive in Denmark 1984-2003Loft, Anne; Jeppesen, Kim K. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyses the complex process through which EU's Eighth Company Law Directive on the qualification of statutory auditors (1984) was implemented in Denmark. The Directive envisaged one group of ‘statutory auditors’ in each member state. However, in Denmark there were two groups of auditors: the state authorised auditors who had a long education and high status, and the registered auditors who had a shorter education, lower status and whose clients were mainly medium and small sized businesses. An exemption was made in the Directive to allow the registered auditors to continue to audit despite that they did not have the required ‘university level’ education. This made the issue of education central to the long-term survival of the registered auditors and it consequently became the object of a long conflict between the parties with an interest in auditor education and qualifications: the profession, the state and the educational institutions. This case illustrates the processes of audit regulation in a small European state with a highly developed economy where auditors are approved and regulated by the state but through processes heavily influenced by the profession. It provides an interesting contrast to other studies carried out on the implementation of this Directive, e.g. in the UK (Cooper et al, 1996) and in Greece (Caramanis, 1999), and perhaps some insight into the difficulties which may be encountered in implementing the new Eighth Directive proposed by the Commission in May 2003.

Foss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We briefly survey Hayek’s work and argue for its increasing relevance for organizational scholars. Hayek’s work inspired aspects of the transaction cost approach to the firm as well as knowledge management and knowledge-based view of the firm. But Hayek is usually seen within organizational scholarship as a narrow, technical economist. We hope to change that perception here by pointing to his work on rules, evolution, entrepreneurship and other aspects of his wide-ranging oeuvre with substantive implications for organizational theory.

Abstract: In his seminal 1945 essay Hayek argued that the dispersed nature of much commercially relevant knowledge places strong constraints on the feasibility of centralized allocation and coordination mechanisms, but that there remains a problem of making efficient use of such knowledge (the first Hayekian knowledge problem). He realized that firms, because they make use of authority, are also challenged by dispersed knowledge, and his emphasis on delegation as a response to dispersed knowledge may lead to the prediction that (large) firms shouldn’t exist. Yet (large) firms obviously do exist (the second Hayekian knowledge problem). Recently, many management and organizational scholars have echoed Hayek’s argument that centralized coordination mechanisms, such as authority, may fail in the presence of dispersed knowledge. We examine these modern arguments and argue that they rest on shaky foundations: dispersed knowledge is a less strong constraint on authority than is often thought. We examine the wider implications of this for knowledge-based arguments in management and organizational theory, and call for more research into the micro-foundations of such arguments.

Abstract: This paper shows how improved health conditions aect fertility decisions and economic growth. Survival rates for children and adults are incorporated into an overlapping generations model featuring endogenous fertility and altruism from workers towards their retired parents. The main nding is that a simultaneous increase in child and adult survival decreases fertility and increases savings and productivity growth. The analysis illustrates the key role of health in the demographic transition. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7695 Files in this item: 1

An Empirically Based Research Method for Identification and Measurement Using Patent DataDahlgren, Henrich; Lund Jensen, Rasmus; Valentin, Finn (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper deals with methodological issues of assessing the composition and level of heterogeneity of firms’ intellectual assets. It develops an original metric - referred to as the H-index - for measuring heterogeneity using data extracted from patent documents. The main purpose is to improve the characterisation of research activities within firms in the biotechnology sector. Although the H-index grew out of research on biotech firms, the metric carries broader relevance for all patent-intensive industries. The measurement and calculation of the H-index is illustrated using some empirical examples from our preliminary study on Scandinavian biotech firms.

Implications of Strategic Management TheoryAgarwal, Rajshree; Barney, Jay B.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Macroeconomic theory assumes that factors of production in the economy are homogeneous and fungible. As a result, it may be ill-suited for developing policy responses to the recent financial crisis. Theories of strategic management and organization, with their emphasis on heterogeneously distributed resources and capabilities, may be better positioned. Examples of where macroeconomic theory may lead policies astray, and where theories of strategic management may be more appropriate, are provided.

Abstract: We propose a novel machine learning technique that can be used to estimate probability distributions for categorical random variables that are equipped with a natural set of classification hierarchies, such as words equipped with word class hierarchies, wordnet hierarchies, and suffix and affix hierarchies. We evaluate the estimator on bigram language modelling with a hierarchy based on word suffixes, using English, Danish, and Finnish data from the Europarl corpus with training sets of up to 1–1.5 million words. The results show that the proposed estimator outperforms modified Kneser-Ney smoothing in terms of perplexity on unseen data. This suggests that important information is hidden in the classification hierarchies that we routinely use in computational linguistics, but that we are unable to utilize this information fully because our current statistical techniques are either based on simple counting models or designed for sample spaces with a distance metric, rather than sample spaces with a non-metric topology given by a classification hierarchy.

Abstract: Kinks and jumps in the payoff function of option contracts prevent an effective implementation of higher-order numerical approximation methods. Moreover, the derivatives (the greeks) are not easily determined around such singularities, even with standard lower-order methods. This paper suggests a transformation to turn the original ill-conditioned pricing problem into a well-behaved numerical problem. For a standard test case, both vanilla- and binary call price functions are approximated with (tensor) B-splines of up to 10’th order. Polynomial convergence rates of orders up to approximately 10 are obtained for prices as well as for first and second order derivatives (delta and gamma). Unlike similar studies, numerical approximation errors are measured both as weighted averages and in the supnorm over a state space including time-to-maturities down to a split second.

Abstract: Abstract We analyze firms’ incentives to cluster in an industrial district to benefit from reciprocal technology spillovers. A simple model of cumulative innovation is presented where technology spillovers arise endogenously through labor mobility. It is shown that firms’ incentives to cluster are the strongest when the following three conditions are met: 1) technological progress is rapid; 2) competition in the product market is relatively soft; 3) the probability of a single firm to develop an innovation is neither very high nor very low. We show that some trade secret protection is always beneficial for firms’ profits and stimulates clustering. Excessive protection may impede technology spillovers and reduce firms’ incentives to cluster. JEL Codes: J3, K2, L1, O32, O34.
