Does it make sense?Bille, Trine (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses the concept of the experience economy in a Nordic context and shows how the Nordic version of the concept has come about from a mix of three different approaches and theories. Besides, the Nordic definition links the experience economy closely with cultural activities. In the Nordic countries the experience economy has been developed in a political context and it is apparently a popular development policy for local government authorities and regions. This paper discusses the Nordic definition of experience economy and questions if it makes any sense. The definition of experiences is not clear, and the definition of the word “economy” has different interpretations as well. In a narrow interpretation the term economy is related to market economic value, which is used in the political terminology. The paper shows that the experience economy can follow three different routes to market value creation, and how the growth opportunities for the different experience areas will depend on three different trends. Therefore, it can be shown that only some experience areas are growing, and the market value creation occurs in very different ways and to very different extents within, and in relation to, the different experience areas. The greatest growth potential resides probably in the broad value creation in association with the experience areas. But the experience economy does not lend itself to any consistent definition.

Abstract: This note discusses the generational incidence of consumption taxes in an OLG framework. The objective is to highlight the channels through which an increase in, e.g., a VAT redistributes income across generations. It turns out that with labor supply exogenous VAT incidence is very similar to the impact of a PAYG pension system or government debt. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7578 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Diamond’s two-period OLG growth model is based on the assumption that the stock of capital in any period is equal to the wealth accumulated in the previous period by the generation of pensioners. This stock equlibrium condition may appear an innocuous paraphrase of the ordinary macro-economic flow equilibrium condition, S = I. This is not the case. In this note I demonstrate that Diamond’s solution is unstable in a monetary market economy where households and firms make independent decisions as to how much to save and how much to invest. An increase in the rate of interest above the Diamond long-run equilibrium level will cause saving to fall by more than investment and, hence, result in excess demand for loanable funds and an upward pressure on the rate of interest. However, substituting the ordinary S = I flow equilibrium condition for Diamonds stock equilibrium condition reveals that the model has another solution - the rate of interest equals the rate of growth - and that this solution is stable in a capital-based economy (contrary to the pure consumption loan model of interest suggested by Samuelson(1958)). The model has interesting implications. Diamond’s model predict that an increase in rate of time preference causing the young generation to save less will reduce the capital stock and raise the rate of interest. However,the S = I based two period OLG model reveals that the old generation’s consumption falls by more than the the young generation’s consumption increases. Consequently, excess supply of loanable funds will drive down the rate of interest. If the rate of interest is equal to the rate of growth an increase in the time preference has no effect on the supply of loanable funds and, consequently, neither on the rate of interest or the stock of capital. Whether people prefer to consume as young or old should not be a matter of public concern (although the transition from one state to another may be).

Abstract: This paper starts from the premise that all forms of socio-economic behaviour are motivated and underpinned by values of one kind or another. The study of culture is thus a study of the values that constitute that culture. In their plural form, values constitute our socio-cultural beliefs and moral principles. However, in its singular form, value relates to economic utility, price and worth. The aim of this working paper is to examine the relation between economic and cultural values which, it is argued, constitute a field of values that are (re)produced, negotiated and transacted in the context of creative products. This field consists of technical, affective, social, situational, appreciative and functional values. Together these create a qualitative symbolic exchange value which is often then exchanged for a quantitative economic value. The paper outlines how each of these values works and interacts with other values in the context of creative industries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7971 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In the summary of the project as well as in the overall description for the SUCCESS project it is stated, that ‘benchmarking of past and ongoing collaborations’ serve as a tool to develop new and improved models of governance for large integrated projects. The reference to benchmarking as key tool to develop new models makes it necessary to have a closer look into the pro and cons for using this specific tool. A number of recent studies of science policy in Europe have taken a closer look into the system of benchmarking in this field. These studies, discussed later in this paper, have pointed to the fact that a reliable benchmarking exercise demand a strict data input very often impossible in science and innovation collaborations because of the very nature of these endeavours, the open and risky character of new knowledge as well as the unpredictable time. If we include the fact that collaborations all have their own history and do not represent some kind of representativeness of a science or R&D field but the opposite, are selected by pre-knowledge, a number of serious question to the use of a traditional benchmarking approach has been announced. What we can use from the benchmarking procedures is the idea of a systematic recording of knowledge of best practices analysed and interpreted by expert groups.

Towards a Multitheoretical Research FrameworkSjöklint, Mimmi; Constantiou, Ioanna D.; Trier, Matthias (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The new technological enhancements and the accessibility to varieties of online applications, enable users to collect personal data and perform self-evaluation through test, comparison and experimentation. The sparked interest in numbers and numbers as self-representative visualisations is prominent in social networking sites, which are the empirical setting for the present study. This paper sets out to establish a multi-theoretical framework which enables the investigation of emerging phenomena of the role of numbers in social networking sites. The proposed framework rests on three theoretical pillars: self-determination theory, heuristic decision making and behavioural economics. A discussion departs from these convictions to investigate user reactions and behaviour when faced with numerical representations in the SNS.

Resultater fra en spørgeskema-undersøgelseFoss, Nikolai J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Baseret på et sample af de 1000 største danske virksomheder undersøges forekomsten af nye arbejdsorganiseringsformer i dansk erhvervsliv. Endvidere undersøges det, hvilke virksomheder der typisk implementerer de nye måder at organisere arbejdet på. Det vises at det primært er virksomheder i konkurrenceprægede og vidensintensive brancher der gør dette. De nye arbejdsorganiseringsformer implementeres i bundter. Det indikerer at de nye organiseringsformer er komplementære. Deres forekomst er endelig tæt korreleret med forekomsten af resultatløn. Det tyder på at "kontrol"- og "kommitment"- modeller for HRM ikke er modsatrettede, men tværtimod komplementære. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6350 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Denne rapport handler om forandringer i den kommunale styring og organisering af dagtilbudsområdet – og om forskellige aktørers arbejde med lokale forandringsprojekter forskellige steder i dagtilbudsafdelingerne. Projektarbejdet, der her berettes om, handler både om aktuelle udfordringer i aktørernes egne arbejdssituationer og praksisser og om problemstillinger, der går på tværs af de institutionelle og kommunale organiseringer og styringsrelationer indenfor dagtilbud. Disse er fx nationale standardiseringstiltag, faglige kvalitetsmålinger, samt strammere økonomistyring overfor kvalitetsudvikling og -sikring.

Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as the linguistic context is minimal. This paper presents three anechoic recordings of 13 male and 13 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with the neutral intonation contour for Danish (in total 15210 syllables). The authors compared and ranked groups of three recordings. These three recording had the same talker and had identical phonetic content. The syllables were ranked according to the general “appropriateness” and consistency, i.e., prototypical production of the consonant-vowel (CV) with respect to applicability in speech perceptual studies. The results were compared to results of an automatic method based on acoustic measures. The two novel ideas are 1) to devise an automated method for evaluating “appropriateness” of CVs and 2) to develop a Danish CV-material annotated with an objective measure of “appropriateness” for each recorded CV. The latter would potentially render more CV’s appropriate for perceptual studies. Moreover, objective evaluation would make it possible to examine any perceptual effects of variability in CV production (for example how susceptible different renderings by the same talker of CV’s are to background noise). To the knowledge of the authors, no such material has yet been published for any language. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8412 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically. Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied. The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD.

A firm level perspecitve on internal learning and organisational behaviourGranerud, Lise (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The auto-components industry has improved its performance significantly in South Africa during the second half of the 1990’s. However, it has not yet reached the level of the international competitors. The present paper suggests that a focus on the firms’ internal conditions is a way to identify obstacles preventing further improvement of performance and competitiveness. Organisational behaviour has increasingly become important internationally in the understanding of firm development and learning in the recent years. This paper argues that it is crucial to take into account the behaviour of the organisation in the perception of the problems connected to the development of technology and capabilities in South African SMEs. The paper builds on the immediate findings of a qualitative case study on technological learning in two auto-components enterprises in Greater Durban, where the organisational behaviour in different ways hinders internal learning. These findings are contrasted with a third firm within the metal sector, which has a very different learning environment. The paper emphasises the importance of including the informal organisational behaviour in the understanding of how to develop the technological resources. The study investigates the physical resources, and the human and organisational resources, and relates these to the routines in the organisational behaviour, including formal and informal work practices and social relations at the shop floor in the understanding of what influence technological learning in these firms.

Abstract: The analysis in this paper concerns how national institutions impact the implementation of occupational healthy and safety management systems (OHSMS) in different types of market economies. The main objective is to show how variation in national institutional frameworks influences the implementation of OHSMS, and thus, relative performance. There are two main conclusions. First, dominating organisational templates and co-operative industrial relations structures allow firms from coordinated market economies (CME) to more effectively implement OHSMS than those from liberal market economies (LME) which are embedded in adversarial industrial relations. Secondly, due to differences in the institutional framework among countries, the mechanisms of enforcement for OHSMS need to be designed in different ways. The article contributes to the literature by showing that the implementation and functioning of OHSMS are mediated by the different institutional logics in which firms are embedded.

Abstract: While the extant literature on offshore outsourcing deals with this operation mode in isolation, and typically with a focus on cost effects, we address the broader question of how companies choose and use outsourcing as part of foreign operation mode development and as a contributor to internationalization. We use a case study of the Danish company SimCorp and the development of its operations in Kiev, Ukraine, to show how learning in various forms, control concerns, and relations with foreign partners may interact and build momentum for mode change. SimCorp’s experience demonstrates that outsourcing can be used proactively to promote expanded international operations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8360 Files in this item: 1
