Recent developments and dependencies on prices/taxesla Cour, Lisbeth; Milhøj, Anders (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In the following we will analyse the sale of alcohol in Denmark. Various figures related to this question are published by Statistics Denmark at different frequencies. Our main concern will be with quarterly data for the sale of beer, wine and spirits from the period 1990 – 2004. Our two hypotheses are: First we want to convince the reader that the total sale of alcohol in Denmark since 1980 has been fairly stable. By total sale we mean the total sale of 100% alcohol so the three categories – beer, wine and spirits are measured in litres of 100% alcohol equivalents. In order to convince the reader that the total sale of alcohol has been fairly constant we will present graphs and various indicators and tests of the degree of temporal dependence in this series. The overall impression from this analysis is that our first hypothesis seems to be supported – at least not contradicted – by the data. Next, we want to model the sale of beer and wine as shares of the total sale of alcohol. Even though the total sale can be considered fairly stable there have been divergent paths of evolvement for the sub-groups: the sale of beer has decreased over the period and the sale of wine has increased. The sale of spirits has been fairly stable. Modelling the system of the beer-share and the wine-share we want to split the total development into a part that can be ascribed to changes in the relative prices and a part that can be explained by changes in taste and drinking habits specified as a trend. By specifying a system conditionally on the prices of beer, wine and spirits and a trend we manage to estimate price sensitivity and taste sensitivity. A small forecasting exercise shows that the final model is fairly good at predicting changes in the shares due to price changes. Finally, the effects on the market shares of hypothetical changes in the taxation of alcohol are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7532 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: The focus is effects of investments in airports and runways on the market for air travel and more in general for the production possibilities of the economy. In the case of Greenland two types of impacts can be sorted out. One is more efficient production of air transport due to increased density in the utilization of the net because of no use or less use of the airport in Kangerlussuaq. The other effect, connected to the first, is that resources are set free by avoidance of double work receiving the same passengers (and goods) in Kangerlussuaq and especially in Nuuk. Transformation curves are used to illustrate both effects and the first is dealt with also in an ordinary price quantity diagram. Using previous calculations and estimates done by the author two specific scenarios are treated in the theoretical framework presented: one is a lengthening of the runway in Nuuk to 1799 m and less intensive use of Kangerlussuaq, the other is the building of an airport south of Nuuk with a 3000 m runway in combination with abandoning Kangerlussuaq. Profitability and amortisation of the investments are reviewed in transformation curve diagrams. On the assumptions of the calculations both scenarios are profitable, but by far the most profitable is the big investment south of Nuuk. Concluding remarks stress the preliminary character of my calculations, but they also point out that decision makers’ choice of scenarios to be discussed and compared is unstable.

Resume: Vækstkautioner fra Vækstfonden giver anledning til privat finansiering af erhvervsaktivitet, som ellers ikke ville opstå. Vækstkautioner udstedt i 2011 medførte, at virksomhederne kunne skaffe samlet privat finansiering for 1153 mio. kr. til at foretage investeringer for. Beregninger i ADAM modellen viser, at investeringerne over en 3-årig periode skaber 872 arbejdspladser årligt – eller 5 arbejdspladser per virksomhed. I forhold til de forventede tabsudgifter på udstedte Vækstkautioner er beskæftigelseseffekten per udgiftskrone 15 gange større end effekten af udgifter til offentlige investeringer.

En analyse af coachingsdiskursens genealogi og governmentalityHede, Tobias Dam (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Formålet med denne afhandling er at undersøge coachingdiskursens genealogi og ”governmentality”, dvs. dens historiske formationer og normative basis som ledelsesmodel og praksisregime. Problemfeltet formuleres igennem det såkaldte ”symmetriproblem”. Den væsentligste udfordring heri er spørgsmålet om, hvordan en coach kan bistå et andet menneske med at åbne sig for og vende sig imod det, der er væsentligt for den enkelte selv, og det fællesskab, han eller hun definerer sig i forhold til. I det perspektiv er symmetriproblemets analysestrategiske funktion at være samlebetegnelse for tre ”problematiseringslinjer” i coachingdiskursens genealogi og governmentality, der konstituerer sig igennem diskursive strategier for: 1) Ledelse, 2) erkendelse og 3) subjektivitet. Ud fra det perspektiv besvarer afhandlingen følgende research question: Hvordan problematiseres, idealiseres og tilegnes coaching som samtalekunst og ledelsesdisciplin på baggrund af symmetriproblemet? Afhandlingens formål og problemfelt vil i det følgende blive udfoldet i en mere generel indledning ud fra fem overskrifter: 1) Motivation af problemfeltets tilblivelse, aktualitet og relevans; 2) analysestrategisk greb; 3) genstandsfelt; 4) erkendelsesinteresser og forskningsbidrag, samt 5) analysestrategiens disposition og empiriske design.

Resume: This paper is the second in a series of three dealing with EU clothing retail sectors' global sourcing patterns, and the changing sourcing strategies of leading actors. Its focus is on Denmark and Sweden. It provides an overview of the specificities of the Danish and Swedish clothing retail scenes and of the import trades into the two countries. In then presents the results of a survey of 10 leading Scandinavian retailers undertaken in mid-2002. The results cover their sourcing geographies, sourcing channels, the nature of their supply bases, their expectations concerning suppliers and their selection criteria for new countries and new suppliers. A conclusion summarises and discusses the major similarities and differences between the results obtained and those from a similar study undertaken in the UK in 2001. An Appendix present comprehensive clothing import data for the two countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9437 Filer i denne post: 1

Theory and Practice of Stakeholder Engagement in ScandinaviaStrand, Robert; Freeman, R. Edward (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In this article we clarify the historical roots of stakeholder theory to establish that a much larger role was played by Scandinavian thinkers in its development than is currently acknowledged. We show that important contributions to the stakeholder concept were being made by Eric Rhenman and his Scandinavian contemporaries in parallel to the contributions from the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the early 1960s and thereafter and thus are not a “historical trail” as they are currently labeled. Therefore we offer a significant modification to the historical narrative as presented in Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach (Freeman, 1984). These important Scandinavian contributions include the first publication and description of the expression „stakeholder‟ in management literature accessible to scholars throughout the world and the introduction of the first stakeholder map to the management literature. We use this occasion to consider potential relationships between these early Scandinavian contributions to the stakeholder concept with current practices of well-known Scandinavian companies. Through this we contend the evidence suggests relationships worthy of further considerations. We conclude by endorsing the expression “Scandinavian cooperative advantage” through which we intend to provoke increased attention from beyond Scandinavia. Cooperation between companies and their stakeholders is increasingly recognized as necessary for the social and environmental sustainability of world and the long-term profitability of companies where we contend inspiration for such cooperation may be prosperously drawn from Scandinavia.

A new point of view in the IS reference discipline discussionKjærgaard, Annemette; Vendelø, Morten Thanning (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Information Systems scholars continuously debate about the nature of the IS discipline. Recently a series of articles have discussed whether the IS field has reached the status of a reference discipline. We address this issue by examining the application of the theory of sensemaking in IS research. Our findings show that the prospects for IS as a reference discipline are not promising. Based on these findings we suggest that IS scholars hallucinate when they a) assume that to become a 'real' academic discipline, IS has to become a reference discipline, and b) believe that IS will become a reference discipline in time. Hence, we describe the IS reference discipline discussion as a misconception, which should be abandoned in the pursuit of a stronger IS discipline.

A missing link between Schumpeter's theories of economic development, business cycles and democracyBecker, Markus C.; Esslinger, Hans Ulrich; Hedtke, Ulrich; Knudsen, Thorbjørn (København, 2002)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The present article introduces Development, a new, unpublished and hitherto unknown article written by Joseph A. Schumpeter. It was originally written in 1932 and titled Entwicklung. Development is remarkable since it helps understand the unity of Schumpeter’s work and significantly adds to Schumpeter’s known works on a number of issues that were central to his theory of economic development. Development shows that Schumpeter considered the explanation of novelty as the most important unsolved scientific problem. For Schumpeter, entrepreneurship remained a good description of novelty, but, by his own admission in Development, nothing is explained thereby. On the optimistic side, Schumpeter indicates that theoretical advances might be forthcoming that can help a better understanding of the social dynamics which gives rise to novelty.

Resume: Recent studies of the impact of science parks have questioned traditional assumption about the effect of the parks on innovation and economic growth. Most studies tend to measure the effect by rather traditional measures, revenue, survival of new firms, without taking into account, that knowledge has gained a growing importance in the new economy. If we shift focus to organization theory discussions on new knowledge and innovation has specialized in relation to the process of creation, managing, organizing, sharing, transferring etc. of knowledge. The evaluation of science parks has to relate to the changed role of knowledge in the creation of economic growth. With the help of the concept of the ba from Nonanka, the article discuss if or how traditional organized science parks can become central actors in the new knowledge production or has to be viewed as an outdated institution from the industrial society.

Sanchez, Ron (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Part I of this paper applies the principles of the philosophy of science and the derived scientific method to analyze the foundational concepts and core proposition of the Resource-Based View (RBV) as popularized by Barney (1986, 1991, 1997). This analysis identifies seven fundamental conceptual deficiencies and logic problems in Barney’s conceptualization of "strategically valuable resources” and in Barney’s VRIO framework for identifying strategically valuable resources that can be sources of sustained competitive advantage. Three problems -- the Value Conundrum, the Tautology Problem in the Identification of Resources, and the Absence of a Chain of Causality -- relate to the RBV’s and VRIO’s failure to provide an adequate conceptual basis for identifying strategically valuable resources. The Uniqueness Dilemma, the Cognitive Impossibility Dilemma, and an Asymmetry in Assumptions about Resource Factor Markets result in an inability of the VRIO framework to support identification of resources that can be sources of sustained competitive advantage. More fundamentally, the core proposition of the RBV – that resources that are strategically valuable, rare, inimitable, and organizationally embedded are sources of sustainable competitive advantage – is argued to result directly in the Epistemological Impossibility Problem that precludes use of the scientific method in RBV research. This paper argues that until these conceptual deficiencies and logic problems are recognized and remedied, the RBV – in spite of its current popularity -- is and will remain theoretically sterile and incapable of contributing in any systematic way to the development of strategy theory. Part II of this paper then suggests how foundational concepts developed within the competence perspective on strategy provide essential remedies for the identified deficiencies and problems in the RBV -- and thereby provide a more conceptually adequate basis for representing the nature of firms in the scientific study of their interactions and competitive outcomes.

The case of the Resource-based viewFoss, Nicolai J. (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Does the RBV represent a case of scientific progress? And has it emerged as the dominant approach to the analysis of competitive advantage for this reason? Conventional criteria for scientific progress, notably those of the growth of knowledge literature, are not particularly helpful for understanding this. Instead, it is argued that in order to understand why the RBV is an instance of scientific progress, we should begin from the notion that reduction is at the heart of progress in science, and that many scientists implicitly or explicitly hold this view. The RBV is a case of scientific progress because it identified theoretical mechanisms at levels lower than those that were usually investigated in strategy research prior to the RBV. Unfortunately, the micro-emphasis of the RBV gave way during the 1990s to more aggregative modes of theorizing (i.e., the capabilities approach). Thus, the RBV represents an "unfinished revolution" as there is still considerable potential to dig deeper in the deep structure of competitive advantage.

The Influence of Strategic Interest Alignment on External Knowledge SearchØrding Olsen, Anders (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper analyzes how external search is affected by strategic interest alignment among knowledge sources. I focus on misalignment arising from the heterogeneous effects of disruptive technologies by analyzing the influence of incumbents on 2,855 non-incumbents? external knowledge search efforts. The efforts most likely to solve innovation problems obtained funding from the European Commission?s 7th Framework Program (2007-2013). The results show that involving incumbents improves search in complementary technologies, while demoting it when strategic interests are misaligned in disruptive technologies. However, incumbent sources engaged in capability reconfiguration to accommodate disruption improve search efforts in disruptive technologies. The paper concludes that the value of external sources is contingent on more than their knowledge. Specifically, interdependence of sources in search gives rise to influence from individual strategic interests on the outcomes. More generally, this points to the need for understanding the two-way influence of sources, rather than viewing external search as one-way knowledge accessing.

what types of firms use universities as a source of innovation?Laursen, Keld; Salter, Ammon (København, 2003)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Abstract This paper examines the factors that influence whether firms draw from universities in their innovative activities. The link between the universities and industrial innovation, and the role of different search strategies in influencing the propensity of firms to use universities is explored. The results suggest that firms who adopt "open" search strategies and invest in R&D are more likely than other firms to draw from universities, indicating that managerial choice matters in shaping the propensity of firms to draw from universities.

Resume: If secession or expulsion ends in a "velvet divorce," as with Czechoslovakia, costs are minimal and the split is relatively unimportant. High costs arise if a federation splits into mutually hostile, comparably sized regions. Perhaps the majority of splits lead to dangerous hostility. A well-designed constitution minimizes the likelihood of hostile splits by limiting the issues that are dealt with at the federal level, by providing checks and balances, and by establishing due process under the rule of law. Preventing the conditions under which a hostile split may arise is more costeffective than trying to optimize the terms of a split or to find last-minute compromises to forestall the split.
