Redskab til kontrol eller udvikling af offentlige organisationer?Hansson, Finn (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Det er en gennemgående tese i denne undersøgelse af interne evalueringer, at en af de vigtigste kendetegn ved den New Public Management -dominerede udvikling af den offentlige sektors reguleringspolitik, som Danmark såvel som en række andre OECD lande har gennemlevet, er en omfattende brug af alle mulige former for evalueringer og tilsvarende vurderings- og kontrolsystemer til styring og regulering af offentlige institutioner og aktiviteter. Den overordnede samfundsmæssige baggrund for denne udvikling består af en sammenkædning af grundlæggende ændringer i forholdet mellem videnskab og samfund, udvikling af mere og mere komplekse reguleringssystemer og måske vigtigst, hastige ændringer i samfundenes værdigrundlag (individualisering, se Beck 1999) – alt sammenholdt med voksende økonomiske problemer for den offentlige sektor i en globaliseret økonomi. Et af de mest karakteristiske træk ved NPM i forhold til tidligere politiske strategier for udvikling af den offentlige sektor er den meget omfattende og i nogle sammen¬hænge systemati¬ske anvendelse af evalueringsmetoder, af refleksive kontrol og reguleringssystemer, det som Power (1997) sammenfattende betegner som ’the audit society’. Overgangen fra styring af offentlige institutioner og organisa¬tioner via generelle politiske målsætninger og økonomisk rammestyring til en moderniseringsproces, hvor udviklingen er styret af et quasi-marked i form af brugerefterspørgsel og resultaterne skal dokumen¬teres i form af produktbeskrivelser, kon¬trakter (con¬tract management) og opfyldelse af kvalitetsmål, har krævet ibrugtagning af en række metoder og teknikker til organisationsudvikling og styring af produkterne kvalitet, som tidligere kun yderst sjældent har været anvendt af offentlige institutioner og organisationer. Mens NPM strategien med privatisering og deregulering viste sig at have begrænset rækkevidde, så efterlod den en omfattende brug af evalueringer og dermed en arv, som i første omgang blot fremtrådte som et teknisk hjælperedskab i udvikling og omlægning af offentlige institutioner, den systematiske brug af evalueringer som kontrol og styringsredskab. Efter en periode viste det sig imidlertid at blive til noget, der er mere end et teknisk hjælpemiddel. Evalueringer er kommet for at blive og har i denne proces fået en langt mere og mere selvstændig rolle og funktion – de er ikke længere blot et redskab til justering og feedback – men fremstår mere og mere som den nye centrale metode for organisationsudvikling i store såvel som små offentlige organisationer.

The Impact of Commission’s Proposed Data Protection Regulation: Appendix to Deliverable D5.1Savin, Andrej (Bruxelles, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The European Commission recently proposed a General Data Protection Regulation,1 which is meant to replace the EU Data Protection Directive2 and to thoroughly reform and modernize the EU privacy regulatory framework. The Regulation, if adopted, would introduce a number of changes, several of which would considerably alter the current privacy setting.3 First, the current Directive would be replaced with a Regulation, achieving EU-‐wide harmonization. Second, the scope of the instrument would be widened and the provisions made more precise. Third, the use of consent for data processing would be limited. Fourth, Data protection “by design” would be distinguished from data protection “by default”. Fifth, new fundamental rights would be introduced and the old ones clarified. Sixth, new rules on controllers’ and processors’ duties, on supervisory authorities and on sanctions would be introduced. Finally, the Commission would obtain significant new powers to adopt delegated acts. This appendix explores the impact that the proposed Regulation might have on interoperability of user-‐generated services.4 Since the proposed Regulation is an instrument of high complexity, only those provisions of direct relevance for the project and Work Package 5 will be analysed here.

A Multiple Case StudyChristensen, Irene; Karlsson, Christer (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: While fast product development with early prototyping and reduction of both cycle time and lead time are major concerns, there is little research on ramp up management. This paper examines the structural complexity of the ramp-up processes including the interactions with suppliers and analyses the degree of fragmentation in the process planning and execution. Resource dependence theory (RDT) is used as central explanatory framework for inter-organisational interdependencies formation throughout the planning and execution of the ramp-up activities and milestones. This study aims at exploring inter-firm resource dependence connections in production initiation and its influence upon the effectiveness of manufacturing ramp-up.

Hierarchies, Logics and Foundations of Social Order Seen Through the Prism of EU Social RightsMossin, Christiane (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: It has been the purpose of this dissertation to analyze a contemporary battlefield of law, the field of EU social rights, from a political-philosophical point of view. It is the conviction of the dissertation that law is deeply and inescapably conceptually connected with fundamental features of social order. Law and social order are not presumed to be identical, but to be mutually constitutive. The interrelations between the two do not merely concern the rights and obligations explicitly laid down in the law, but fundamental presumptions regarding the nature of human beings, overall purposes of social order, hierarchical and dynamical features of society and the possibility at all of regulation, its logics and sources of authority. On the basis of a historical-conceptual understanding of law according to which law, social structure and metaphysical presumptions are inescapably intertwined, the dissertation derives from the binding provisions of law certain essential features of social order. More precisely, the dissertation demonstrates that from a political philosophical point of view, EU social rights can be said to imply the contours of a particular social order. Significantly, the essential features in question are derived through detailed analyses of EU social rights - through critical investigations of definitions of right-holders, material scope, legal core concepts, exclusions and justifications, complexities and ambiguities of interpretation. The general point is the following: Political philosophical features of social order may not only be derived from the overall constitutional aspects of law (in the case of EU-law: fundamental principles inscribed in the Treaty; the constitutional architecture of EU-law), but are implied in the detailed material web of secondary law.

With police in making space for creativityHartmann, Mia Rosa Koss (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: What does it mean to be innovative in public organizations? Scholars and policy makers call for public sector organizations to become innovative, whether this is through increasing collaboration, exploring networks or recognizing the innovation that occurs in government. This study contributes to this discussion a critical perspective arguing that much of the innovation that occurs in public organizations may come about in ways that are intentionally silenced by the organization and therefore dependent on the tactical creation of space for everyday creativity. It does so through an 18-month ethnographic study informed by Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and discourse, as well as his history of the emergence of police within the state, and by De Certeau’s theory of everyday practice and metaphor of the city.

A Relational Processual Investigation Moving Beyond the Conceptual Horizon of Welfare ManagementPallesen, Eva (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This dissertation investigates welfare creation and leadership from a radically processual thinking as a basis of imagining other conceptual horizons than the ones feeding current governmental rationalities. It basically argues that since welfare is not an entity delivered, but is continuously becoming in an unfolding middle between managers, employees and citizens, we need to go beyond conceptual frameworks that draw their assumptions from a thinking which basically treats welfare as a thing. The dissertation therefore starts out by denaturalizing the assumptions and divisions of an entitative, extensive reasoning and discusses how this thinking frames the idea of creation in a welfare context. This leads to a discussion of the idea of welfare creation as the realization of a mental model: Here, the dissertation locates as a problem that when ‘the new’ is placed in changing mental models of practice, creation tends to slip out of practice. Creation then becomes a matter of separating oneself from the situation in order to be able to decide upon a new way to relate to practice at a time and space distance of it. So, at the same time as creation slips out of practice, the relational also slips out of creation. In an attempt to push back together what has been split in this reasoning, the dissertation activates process philosophy as a lever of imagining other conceptual frames of welfare creation - how welfare creation may be thought radically relationally-processually beyond the idea of realization a mental model. By taking the path from Bergson’s distinction between intensive and extensive multiplicity to Brian Massumi’s concept of newness and the deleuzian-spinozian concept of affect, the dissertation aims to carve out a notion of creation that can be helpful in this endeavor.

Fatum, Rasmus; Pedersen, Jesper; Norman Sørensen, Peter (, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: We investigate the intraday effects of intra-marginal intervention in a horizontal band on the exchange rate spread. Official intraday data on Danish intervention transactions in the ERM II, the Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Union, facilitates our analysis. We show that intervention purchases and sales both exert a significant influence on the exchange rate spread, but in opposite directions. Intervention purchases of the small currency, on average, narrow the spread while intervention sales of the small currency, on average, widen the spread. This is a novel finding that differs from those of existing studies that find intervention always widens the exchange rate spread and increases market uncertainty.

Digitaliseringens naturloveDamsgaard, Jan (København, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Denne bog har i bund og grund et meget simpelt budskab: Verden er i gang med en omstilling, hvis lige aldrig tidligere er set, og ignorerer man den, risiker man at ens virksomhed dør. Formår man derimod at indstille sig på de helt nye tankegange, som omstillingen kræver, er der et overflødighedshorn af muligheder. Den industrielle revolution forandrede vores levevilkår og samfund så radikalt, at verdens befolkning eksploderede, og vi gik en tid med enestående vækst i velstand i møde. Den digitale revolution bliver mindst lige så gennemgribende som den industrielle. Effekterne er allerede tydelige. Der er brancher, som eksisterede, dengang i 1982, da Time Magazine udnævnte den personlige computer til »machine of the year«, som er væk i dag, og vores bybillede har ændret sig markant på få årtier. Der er ikke længere videoudlejningsbutikker på hvert andet gadehjørne, pladeforretningerne er væk, bankernes engang så omfattende filialnet er så godt som forsvundet, og Superman ville have svært ved at finde en telefonboks at klæde om i.

Resume: The last decade has seen a rise in research on the topic of challenges associated with information systems (IS) in corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Although this proliferation of research has the potential to significantly improve our understanding of IS challenges in M&A activity, absent is the necessary step of consolidating and integrating extant knowledge. In this paper, we review the domain of IS integration in M&As with focus on what have been studied and how it has been studied. By reviewing 37 articles, published in 13 journals, 5 conference proceedings this paper identifies patterns and gaps, and provides directions for future research.

An HCI Study with the Lundbeck InstituteØrngreen, Rikke N.; Nielsen, Janni; Levinsen, Karin; Stanley Christensen, Elise; Mortensen, Ole E. (København, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This working paper presents the first results of a close collaboration between the HCI-Research Group, at the Department of Informatics, CBS and the Lundbeck Institute.This report contains the resulting descriptions of analyses, investigations and evaluations carried out in the pre-phase. The working paper is written considering both the current and future context of the Lundbeck Institute and what we (in the HCI Research Group) know and need to know more about with respect to the future users of the e-learning activities. Another of our concern has been to investigate the Lundbeck Institute current activities and raise questions that the Institute needs to consider when contemplating a relatively large e-learning project. However, we find that the concepts investigated and the processes we have been through have a general relevance. We are thus grateful to the Lundbeck Institute for allowing publication of these pre-phase results. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6450 Filer i denne post: 1

A Comparative Study of Four European SolutionsKazan, Erol; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper focuses on the triumph march of mobile phones that currently are annexing music players, navigation devices, and cameras as separate physical objects. The next target is set on payment. Through synthesizing available literature, we construct a framework for studying digital payment platforms that combines platform, technology and business design aspects. The framework is applied to conduct a comparative case study of digital payment platforms. Four types of market actors are considered: banks, mobile network operators, merchants, and startups, which are incumbents and disrupters in the payment industry. These actors issue four types of payment systems, and we can observe that three of four platforms types can be classified as multi-sided platforms (MSP). All alternatives seek foothold by issuing evolutionary payment instruments, which are intertwined with digital payment platforms. By hosting third-party services, payment instruments are evolving from single-purpose to multi-functional ones. Our research extends existing payment literature from the MSP perspective to emphasize certain digital payment platform components, which impact strategies and complementary products.

Resume: Scrubber technology is one of the valid alternatives to comply with the tightening sulphur regulation. Due to the high uncertainty associated with the oil price and shipping market, making decision about whether and when to invest in marine scrubber is very difficult. In contrast to the previous works that examine the economic feasibility of scrubber retrofitting through the net present value rule, this paper applies the Real Option Analysis to find the optimal investment strategies. The proposed decision-making framework addresses the uncertainty and the value of deferral option embedded in the scrubber investment. The multiple sources of investment uncertainties are explicitly analyzed and integrated in the modeling by using Rainbow option. The results demonstrate that the value of the scrubber investment has significantly increased for several cases by considering the deferral option. It is thus important for ship owners to consider the available options before proceeding with abandoning or investing strategy. The proposed framework can be widely applied to other ship retrofitting investment evaluations, which include similar investment alternatives and uncertainties.

Hobdari, Bersant; Jones, Derek C.; Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Unlike previous empirical work in analyzing investment behavior and the determinants of liquidity constraints, we use a switching regression framework when sample separation is unknown and endogenous and firms are assumed to operate either in the financially constrained or in the financially unconstrained regime. The actual regime the firm is in is determined by a switching or selection function, which depends on those variables that theoretically determine the wedge between internal and external finance, the severity of information and agency problems and time-varying firm characteristics. By using new panel data for Estonian companies during 1993 through 1999 we find that: (i) separate regimes exist in investment behavior; (ii) the likelihood of being financially constrained is higher in firms that are recently privatized, small and where ownership is concentrated in the hands of insiders and the state; (iii) soft budget constraints lower the probability of a firm being financially constrained; (iv) the actual probabilities of operating in the financially constrained regime are calculated to be quite high and essentially stable during 1993-1999: 0.52-0.57 for state owned firms, 0.40-0.46 for domestic owned firms and 0.53-0.57 for employee owned firms; (v) ownership structure affects investment beyond its indirect effects through financial constraints.
