Diversity work in a Swedish MunicipalityRisberg, Annette (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper builds on a case study of diversity work in a Swedish municipality, Malmö. It focus on one aspect of the diversity work done in the municipality, that of a gender and diversity committee and its members – so called diversity ambassadors. I will describe the work of the diversity ambassadors and discuss what impact they could possibly have on the organization. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8558 Files in this item: 1

Sensegiving and wind power developmentRisberg, Annette; Corvellec, Herve (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article intends to contribute to the conceptualising of organisational sensegiving. Based upon a qualitative analysis of how Swedish wind farm developers manage the permit application process for their projects, we describe in a first order analysis how they contextualise and ontologise their projects and defend them against criticisms. To emphasise the precarious conditions of agency that govern the activity of sensegivers, we introduce in a second order analysis the notion of mise-en-sens, a neologism that borrows both from the performing sens art notion of mise-en-scene and the fact that ‘sens’ can in French mean both meaning and direction. Mise-en-sens underscores that stage-setting and direction providing are key activities of wind farm developers. In our concluding remarks we even suggest that mise-en-sens could serve to describe the activity of others involved in sensegiving, for example project managers or entrepreneurs. Keywords: Mise-en-sens, sensegiving, wind power, infrastructure development URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7030 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper seeks to provide a different explanation to the claimed inconsistency in M&A performance research findings. While many M&A scholars contend that the problem lies in the variety of M&A performance measures, we believe that the reason for multiple ways to measure performance is that performance, like most organizational constructs, lacks universality. The variety of measures reflects the variety of the scholars’ constructions of performance and of the measurement techniques adopted. The problem is not the variety of measure, but the comparison of different measures as if they were measuring the same feature of the organization. This could be a reason for the claimed inconsistency in M&A research findings. In this article, we therefore aim at answering “How do M&A scholars measure M&A performance”? To achieve this end we conduct a systematic literature review of empirical M&A research to understand how M&A scholars measure the M&A performance construct and how they construct this measure.
