Institutionelt brud i den offentlige moderniseringspolitik? OPP og udlicitering i de danske kommunerHelby Petersen, Ole; Ring Christensen, Lasse (, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Vi stiller os i dette paper kritisk spørgende til det nye i OPP og søger at belyse, om OPP markerer et institutionelt brud med det i dansk moderniseringspolitik velkendte begreb udlicitering. Vi giver svar gennem to del-analyser. Først sammenlignes nøgletal for danske kommuners brug af udlicitering og arbejde med OPP-modellen. Analysen viser, at OPP-arbejdet overvejende foregår i større kommuner med en gennemsnitlig økonomi og en ideologisk sammensætning på borgmesterposterne på linje med gennemsnittet i landets kommuner. Hvorimod kommuner med højt udliciteringsniveau oftest ledes af borgerlige borgmestre, så er OPP-kommunerne økonomisk og ideologisk på linje med gennemsnittet af landets kommuner. I anden delanalyse kigger vi på reguleringsrammen for brug af henholdsvis OPP og udlicitering. Det kommunale selvstyre og de årlige kommuneaftaler fungerer som en institutionel ramme omkring de reguleringstiltag, som regeringen har mulighed for at anvende. Fælles for reguleringen af kommunernes udlicitering og OPP ligger et bærende princip om metodefrihed i opgaveløsningen. Hvor grænserne for metodefriheden går, er dog ikke en fastlåst størrelse, men genstand for løbende forhandling mellem det statslige og kommunale niveau. Vi konkluderer, at OPP på centrale parametre ikke blot er en forlængelse af udlicitering, men en selvstændig og bemærkelsesværdig kontraktmodel, som er ved at institutionaliseres i de danske kommuner.

Resume: The thesis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of art support by investigating the underlying legitimations and institutional logics of two of the most significant foundations supporting visual art, in Denmark, the private New Carlsberg Foundation and public Danish Arts Foundation. Drawing on insights from neo-institutional and French convention theory, the thesis makes its central contributions within the fields of neo-institutional theory, cultural policy and philanthropy studies. The first paper shows the suitability of neo-institutional theory, particularly the theories of isomorphism, cultural and institutional entrepreneurship, institutional logics, and rhetorical work to address a number of key debates in cultural policy pertaining to the evaluation of aesthetic performance, the justification of investment in the arts and how ideas and meanings become taken for granted in the cultural policy field. In addition, the first paper theorizes the wider field of cultural policy, suggesting twelve institutional arenas where cultural policy is unfolded, of which the thesis focuses on public and private foundations. In the second paper, the thesis focuses on uncovering the key legitimations of art support in the New Carlsberg Foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation at critical points in time, drawing on and contributing to the literature on institutional logics and convention theory. Specifically, the thesis shows the importance of nine particular logics of legitimation underlying art support; the industrial, market, inspired, family, renown, civic, projective, emotional and temporal. Most central to the foundations’ operation are the professional (industrial), artistic (inspired) and civic logics. The thesis shows that the invocations of these logics are highly reflective upon wider societal institutions, prevailing institutional logics, the nature of the critical moment and the organisations’ practices and purpose. In the third paper the thesis hones in on the temporal logic, and draws attention to the micro-level use of this logic, which suggests that logics are invoked in characteristic ways. The third paper illuminates five distinctive uses of the past in the New Carlsberg Foundation, pertaining to the charter, the founding family, place, the moment and anecdotes and importantly shows that while some of these uses are reflected and instrumental, others are institutionalised and show propensity towards institutional reification.

Ludwig M. Lachmann’s Interpretative InstitutionalismFoss, Nicolai J.; Garzarelli, Giampaolo (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The paper revisits the socioeconomic theory of the Austrian School economist Ludwig M. Lachmann. By showing that the common claim that Lachmann’s idiosyncratic (read: eclectic and multidisciplinary) approach to economics entails nihilism is unfounded, it reaches the following conclusions. (1) Lachmann held a sophisticated institutional position to economics that anticipated developments in contemporary new institutional economics. (2) Lachmann’s sociological and economic reading of institutions offers insights for the problem of coordination. (3) Lachmann extends contemporary new institutional theory without simultaneously denying the policy approach of comparative institutional analysis. (90 words.) Keywords Comparative institutional analysis, coordination, expectations, institutional evolution, interpretative institutionalism. JEL Codes B31, B52, B53, D80.

Resume: This paper describes a pilot study with a computed-assisted translation workbench aiming at testing the integration of online and active learning features. We investigate the effect of these features on translation productivity, using interactive translation prediction (ITP) as a baseline. User activity data were collected from five beta testers using key-logging and eye-tracking. User feedback was also collected at the end of the experiments in the form of retrospective think-aloud protocols. We found that OL performs better than ITP, especially in terms of trans- lation speed. In addition, AL provides better translation quality than ITP for the same levels of user effort. We plan to incorporate these features in the final version of the workbench. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9070 Filer i denne post: 1

Seizing Opportunities and Managing ThreatsSax, Johanna; Juul Andersen, Torben (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Strategic responses to complex and frequent environmental changes must balance the tension between innovative opportunistic search and optimization of operating processes. The ability to survive and thrive depends on an ability to facilitate dispersed exploratory initiatives, test their commercial viability, and exploit the associated business opportunities. However, dispersion of authority requires coordination as well as empowerment calls for extended controls. Hence, there is a tension between the aim of avoiding diversion of corporate resources through tight control of plans and facilitation of decentralized autonomous initiatives searching for opportunities. This prescribes a strategy process that gives direction and forms structure while it at the same time enables innovative behaviors and entrepreneurial initiatives. To this end, the paper outlines an integrative model that combines centrally planned (induced) and decentralized (autonomous) strategy-making with interactive control processes. The strategy and management accounting literatures are synthesized to develop the theoretical underpinning for the model and its proposed outcome effects. It is argued that interaction control of central and dispersed strategy-making creates a dynamic system that drives organizational adaptation. The outmoded strategic control concept is revisited and updated for contemporary responsiveness needs under increasingly turbulent conditions. Finally, the paper lays out a method for an empirical survey-based study that can test the propositions from large-scale corporate sampling.

A Yin-Yang Perspective of Central and Peripheral Mechanisms in (Global) Strategy FormationJuul Andersen, Torben; Hallin, Carina Antonia; Li, Xin (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The organizational capacity to cope with unexpected changes remains a fundamental challenge in strategy as global competition and technological innovation increase environmental uncertainty. Whereas conventional strategy-making often is conceived as a sequential linear process, we see it as a non-linear interaction between top-down and bottom-up mechanisms dealing with multiple actions taken throughout the organization over time. It is driven by intension but with a flexible balance between centralized (planned) and decentralized (spontaneous) activities where strategy formulation and implementation interact. We adopt the frame of complementary Yin-Yang elements and Zhong Yong balance to explain the time bound interaction between these opposing yet complementary strategy-making mechanisms where tradeoffs and synergies are balanced across hierarchical levels. The model outlines how the interaction between top-down and bottom-up mechanisms shape sustainable strategic responses. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9010 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: The paper critically reviews the intentional model of power in organizational management from seven different perspectives. It summarizes some of the most debated issues within political science over the recent decades in relation to an intentional understanding of the concept of power. We claim that these issues are also relevant within organizational management and strategy studies, and we point, in particular, to two contemporary research areas, in which the intentional concept of power seems inadequate to further push the research agenda.

Münster, Mia Borch (Frederiksberg, 2018)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Retail stores are designed to attract and inspire consumers. They also function as communication platforms between brand and consumer. Customers, both consciously and unconsciously, decode messages embedded in the store design, and use them in their decision-making. But how can design managers know with any certainty whether the choices they make actually add value, to the products in the store? This dilemma has been addressed from varying perspectives in businessrelated design and marketing literature. John Heskett (2005) acknowledges the conflict of imperatives that obtains between a company and the users of its products and ascribes to design the role of providing a bridge between them. Philip Kotler (1973) underscores the need for designers to understand the targeted consumers by making a distinction between intended and perceived atmosphere. The intended atmosphere is, of course, the set of sensory qualities that the designer of an environment means to invoke. But a design is not always perceived as intended; indeed, perception can vary significantly from one customer to the next. Apart from offering insights in the retail designer’s process of creating stores that function as a marketing tool, this dissertation proposes a method for measuring whether decisions made by the store designer do indeed support the products from the targeted consumer’s perspective. In four articles, a toolbox is provided, offering insights of four types: (1) the theoretical and empirical, aimed at developing an understanding of the different categories within the retail designer's working process; (2) a codification of the stakeholders and constraint generators affecting the retail design process; (3) the proposal of a new method for studying spillover effects from store interior to product; and (4) the testing of this method in two field experiments, where we measure the effects of retail design on those for whom the design is ultimately intended: consumers.

Resume: This is a collection of talks on usability and culture with prominent researchers and practitioners on the Indian interaction design and usability scene: Apala Chavan, Anirudha Joshi, Dinesh Katre, Devashish Pandya, Sammeer Chabukswar, and Pradeep Yammiyavar. I did these talks because for several years I have been the coordinator of a cross cultural research project in India, China and Denmark that aims at investigating the impact of culture on the results of established methods of usability testing. During these years I gradually have come to realize the need for letting the prominent researchers and practitioners in the Indian software industry and university world speak about the big questions in the field. Without this grand context, it is in fact impossible to understand what research experiments will tell us about interaction design and usability in India and abroad. Therefore I first give an introduction to cultural usability and then present the six talks. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6445 Filer i denne post: 1

Teilmann, Kasper Aalling (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The dissertation ‘Interactive Approaches to Rural Development’ gives new theoretical and empirical knowledge in the collaboration on development of rural areas and landscapes. From a perspective about the development and the challenges faced, the study analyses which functions that are demanded by the rural areas. Furthermore, the study makes an analysis of the collaboration in an EU financed rural development association; the Local Action Group (LAG). The overall objective is to: Analyse and discuss approaches to rural development under Danish conditions. The dissertation is cantered around three papers introduced with a frame that contributes to the overall objective. With point of departure in the changes that have structured the Danish landscape, the first paper analyses and discusses how the Danish planning system can be optimized to plan for a multifunctional landscape. Paper two and three builds on the EU rural development policy LEADER that through local project based development supports new income opportunities for the local inhabitants. Collaboration on the rural development is a subject that requires an interdisciplinary analytical approach. The dissertation therefore builds on different theories and both qualitative and quantitative analytical methods. The theoretical foundation draws on generic network theory and various applications of this. This is conducted by inclusion of ideas from interorganisational interaction in an analysis of the collaboration between municipality and a locally anchored development association. In addition the theory of social capital is applied to analyse whether the partnership formation and collaboration has supported the development of the local area. Furthermore, the concept of multifunctionality is assessed as a principle to be applied in countryside planning and rural development. The empirical foundation of the dissertation draws on mixed method research approach with interviews and surveys that are studied through qualitative and quantitative data analyses. Two of the three papers take point of departure in a case study of LAG-Djursland. Based on the dissertation it is concluded, that a crucial factor in the development of rural areas and landscapes is the collaboration among relevant stakeholders– often arranged around a partnership. To secure a concrete and locally attuned development it is important to engage local anchored stakeholders. These stakeholders have the greatest knowledge about the local development opportunities and barriers. Though the dissertation builds on experiences from the Danish rural landscape, the analyses, discussions and conclusions will be relevant in an international perspective. The interactive approach and the analysis hereof will be applicable in other domains than that of rural development. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8592 Filer i denne post: 1

Jensen, Mikael Reimer (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In the rst essay we look at the Danish interbank market and how it functioned during the nancial crisis. Prior to the nancial crisis the view seemed to be that the money markets were well functioning and capable of handling stress in nancial markets. This is the conclusion in Fur ne (2001, 2002) who analysis the US money market during the crisis in the autumn of 1998 where Russia e ectively defaulted on its sovereign debt. However, the recent nancial crisis was a lot more severe than the one in 1998. During the recent crisis we have seen the volatility of money market rates spike and many central banks have conducted unconventional monetary policies. Whether the interbank markets are robust is thus a relevant question again. A key element in our analysis is that the total amount of liquidity in the interbank market is constant when central bank interventions are absent. A negative shock to one bank's liquidity holdings should correspond with a positive shock for another bank's liquidity holding. In a market with no frictions, banks faced with liquidity shocks should be able to absorb these by borrowing from those with surplus liquidity.

Resume: Interdisciplinarity is in the DNA of the iSchools. This workshop invites you to discuss how inter-disciplinarity plays out in theory and practice. The workshop addresses the uniqueness of the iSchools, provides an interactive framework to discuss and reflect on interdisciplinary practice. It suggests some models and tools to describe relations between disciplines, while offering a venue to brainstorm and envision issues of interest with like-minded colleagues. The purpose of this workshop is to establish a setting for continuous dialogue among colleagues on how interdisciplinarity plays out in practice. The workshop aims to create a forum for reflection on local inter-disciplinary practice(s) and to consider the possibilities of forming research networks. The workshop opens with a panel presentation from iSchool deans and senior faculty discussing current interdisciplinarity practices in iSchools and with presentations that address theoretical frameworks of interdisciplinarity. These presentations will form the basis for small group discussions in the afternoon. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8897 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: This paper examines the influence of European integration on the relationship between state administration and private interests in the four Nordic countries – Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. By private interests I mean interest organizations, private corporations and independent experts. The paper focuses exclusively on the national policy processes that are involved with managing European Union (EU) issues. More specifically, this paper discusses two aspects of multi-level governance. First is the important role of private interests in the coordination of decision making at the national level preceding their government’s representation of national interests in the European Council of Ministers and other EU organizations. Second is the effect of all this on national democratic systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7346 Filer i denne post: 1

Evidence for a Uniform AccountHardt, Daniel (Frederiksberg, 2017)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Same is an anaphoric element that performs a comparison, which can either be external or internal to a sentence. Hardt and Mikkelsen (2015) show that same, unlike other anaphoric expressions, imposes a parallelism constraint, and they present three types of examples showing that same is infelicitous in the absence of parallelism. Hardt and Mikkelsen propose an account that applies uniformly to internal and external readings; however, the evidence they present largely targets external readings – they don’t offer empirical evidence that clearly supports the uniform approach. Furthermore, Barker (2007) argues that internal readings must be treated differently than external readings. In this paper, I show that the parallelism effects observed by Hardt and Mikkelsen in fact apply to internal readings as well. This provides support for a uniform treatment of internal and external readings of same. It also suggests that discourse relations, which typically apply to separate overt predications, also apply to the implicit predications that arise in distributional structures.

The effect of diagnostic capability and implementation capabilityHarder, Mie (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Management innovation is the introduction of new management practices that significantly alter the way the work of management is performed. Building on behavioral theory of the firm, this paper explores the effect of firms’ diagnostic capability and implementation capability on the likelihood of adopting new‐to‐thefirm and new‐to‐the‐industry management innovations. The paper finds that formalized activities directed at developing and implementing management innovations as well as CEO novelty increases the likelihood of innovating in both categories. Also, top management team (TMT) diversity increases the likelihood of adopting new‐to‐the‐industry innovations. The paper does not find a direct effect of performance decline on the likelihood of implementing management innovation, but two variables, TMT diversity and previous experience, positively moderate the relationship between performance decline and new‐to‐the‐industry management innovation.
