Capital Structure ContingenciesJuul Andersen, Torben (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Multinational enterprise provides access to a diverse resource base that may support options related business initiatives and operational flexibilities with a potential to improve performance and risk management capabilities. Hence, multinationality should be associated with strategic responsiveness as real option structures allow the corporation to exploit new initiatives and pursue alternative actions. This, in turn should improve economic performance and risk management capabilities as corporate activities are adapted and new initiatives introduced in response to changing global conditions. The analyses of a cross-sectional sample comprising 1357 multinational firms during 1996-2000 partially support the proposed performance and risk management effects but also raise issues for further study.

Resume: Studies of multinational performance have moved from linear, to quadratic and to cubic relationships but despite this seeming increase in sophistication, the empirical evidence has remained contradictory. The hypothesized performance relationships of multinationality have typically been driven by assumed trade-offs between underlying cost/benefit functions. However, this paper argues that cost/benefit trade-offs associated with international expansion are shaped by industry specific conditions that systematically confound the performance outcomes of multinationality. Whereas prior studies often have been confined to a focus on manufacturing and smaller cross-sectional samples, this study analyses the multinational performance outcomes across a comprehensive industry-wide dataset during 1996-2000. The analyses show positive multinational performance relationships in manufacturing and knowledge-based service industries whereas capital-based service industries have negative performance relationships. These results support the proposed heterogeneity in multinational performance effects across industry contexts. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7467 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: This article discusses how institutional competitiveness and multinationals are mutually enriching concepts. Seen from the perspective of Multinationals, institutional competitiveness becomes expressed at two levels. At the level of corporate HQs institutional competitiveness proves itself by forming firms capable of expanding internationally. At the level of subsidiaries as providing institutional back up for these firms’ abilities to fight for survival and growth within the frame of rivalling subsidiaries of the MNC. The article discusses at these two levels the comparative institutional competitiveness of Liberal Market Economies and Coordinated Markets Economies under the current competitive regime.

Resume: In this paper we discuss the emergence of a redefined human work interaction design environment due to Internet of Things. The change in paradigm challenges designers to re-think the category of the user/worker to include their trusted IT devices/cognitive objects while designing for work environment. We present a theoretical proposition to understand the new user (as body, brain + cognitive object), and suggest an approach to capture the UX of the smart workplace. We present and discuss a pilot experiment where we integrate multiple (physiological, behavioral, environmental and IT processes) data-streams of UX in a work setting. This may give a holistic view of UX in the smart workplace. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9021 Filer i denne post: 1

Will China Continue to Hold Together?Brødsgaard, Kjeld Erik (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The recent Bo Xilai affair has created strains in the Chinese political system and has intensified the power struggle concerning the new leadership appointments due to take place at the 18th Party Congress. The pressure on the political system is intensified by a number of social phenomena such as increased fragmentation, vested interests, corruption, social unrest, increased income and social inequalities and a de facto reform stop since 2009. Some scholars believe that we now see the end of ‘resilient authoritarianism’ and that China either will experience a political and social collapse or move towards a democratic system. However, developments since 1989 show the regime’s amazing ability to revitalize its organizational capabilities and regain its Mandate of Heaven. It may be too early to declare the Party over.

Skjold, Else (, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Music and dress have played a significant role in the civilization process in West Europe. Both being aesthetic fields meant to be performed and put into play by human gesture, they have proved to be efficient tools for cultivating the movements, postures and gestures of the body. The material, cut and shape of the dress has manipulated the body to move in certain ways, as have rhythms and expressions in music. Significant for West Europe has been a duality between spirit and body, causing a division between high culture and popular culture, that has been reflected in the way music and dress has been used as display of ‘civilization’ from the early Middle ages to the Nineteenth century, and the way fashion and pop music subsequently has been perceived as ephemeral, irrational or even immoral. Following the democratization process, music and dress from early to late modernity has formed a unique liaison in youth culture, with the notion of image as a unifying concept. Here dress, gesture and pattern of movement emphasizes the underlying bodily gestures indicated by the sounds and rhythms in various music styles, and in this way encapsulates the identity of the individual participating in the manyfragmented taste groupings in society. In the same sense, dress and music have worked as a gate-opener to society for ethnic European outsiders like gays or working class, or non-Western immigrants, that could define their position in society through expressing themselves in hybrid subcultures.

Resume: Internationalization offers enhanced opportunities for individuals to place savings abroad and evade domestic saving taxation. This paper asks whether the concomi- tant loss of saving taxation necessarily is harmful. To this end we construct a model of many symmetric countries in which public goods are financed by taxes on saving and investment. There is international cross-ownership of firms, and countries are assumed to be unable to tax away pure profits. Countries then face an incentive to impose a rather high investment tax also borne by foreigners. In this setting, the loss of the saving tax instrument on account of international tax evasion may prevent the overall saving-investment tax wedge from becoming too high, and hence may be beneficial for moderate preferences for public goods. A world with 'high- spending' governments, in contrast, is made worse off by the loss of saving taxes, and hence stands to gain from international cooperation to restore saving taxation.

How? How much?Nedergaard, Peter (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Mutual learning among the Member States is the primary purpose of the employment policy of the European Union. The two most important questions in this regard are how learning occurs and how much learning takes place. In this article I argue that the existing analyses of the effects of learning in the European employment strategy have been either determined by the sender’s interests or have underestimated how mutual learning between countries takes place. In stead the article develops a constructivist approach to learning and uses it to generate some concrete hypothesis about when learning in committees is most likely to take place. Afterwards, this constructivist approach is used to analyse the institutional framework surrounding the European employment strategy in order to evaluate whether the potential for learning is optimal. Finally, the article concludes that even though some basic premises for learning is fulfilled, the potential for mutual learning could and should be increased by implemented at range of concrete institutional reforms. Firstly, a range of professional and autonomous sub-committees which reports to the EMCO should be established. Secondly, the EMCO should be given more time to discuss the national action plans in meetings which more loosely defined agendas. Thirdly, the cooperation should be concentrated around the areas where the differences in terms of policy performances among the Member States are greatest. Fourthly, the president of the EMCO should be given a more prominent role at the expense of the Commission. Finally, the members of the EMCO should to a higher extent come from the directorates in the Member states rather than the minister’s departments.

Competencies for doing research in/with(in), for and in-between organizationsNielsen, Rikke Kristine (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper addresses the research practice of practicable research by drawing a map of methodological in-roads to doing research with a view to bridging the practitioner-research gap and producing what has been termed as ‘actionable research’ by engaging closely with practitioners in the research process. The map includes three territories and methodological in-roads for doing research in close collaboration with practitioners with a view to mutual value creation and co-construction: Doing research, in/with(in), for and in-between organizations. The methodological reflections in the map are illustrated and discussed against the backdrop of a concrete instance of academia-practitioner collaboration, the industrial Ph.D. research project of Group Mindset-Development in Solar A/S. The industrial Ph.D. researcher is seen as a front-runner vis-a-vis a political climate of increasing demands from governments to universities with regards to the ability of research groups to demonstrate co-operation with external stakeholder groups and an illustration of the privileges and pitfalls of doing research in close engagement with practice called for by the increasing academic interest for actionable research. Using empirical data from an on-going practitioner-academia research project, a literature review and inputs from a professional development workshop organized by the author at the British Academy Management’s annual meeting 20121, a position for doing research in/with(in), for and in-between practice is carved out. Based on the challenges and potential pitfalls inherent in this research position, researcher competencies for successfully handling the research management of the in-between and bridging the academia-practitioner gap in research practice are discussed. Further, competency requirements of both academia and practice as main stakeholders in an industrial Ph.D. project or other projects with the ambition to create value in both camps simultaneously are debated based on the methodological map presented.

Resume: With the increasing globalization, new organizational structures, and rapid change the leader has been increasingly individualized and personalized. The leader has been put under pressure to reveal a leadership, in which the personality of the individual leader is increasingly important. Moreover, the individual leader has become central for creating and communicating organizational meaning, and the leaders’ personal conduct, ethics and identity are taken to be symbolic of the organizational brand. Leaders are increasingly publicly evaluated based on how he “tells the story” of him-self and the organization e.g. the extent to which the leader exemplifies and lives the organizational brand. This is reflected in a growing demand for leader development programs with a personal orientation, and psychological oriented development focused on the individual leaders’ personal challenges. Recent theoretical developments in the intersection of critical management studies and narrative identity studies have challenged prior assumptions and approaches, with a departure in social constructivist perspectives leadership is conceived as narrative identity construction embedded in social practice and context. Hence, leader studies turn to investigate the emergence of leaders as processes of identity work in particular contexts, privileging the use of language, social interaction and critical reflexive approaches. This dissertation explores the narrative construction of leader identity in the context of a leader development program, examining the processes and the content of identity work of leaders. Empirically five Danish executives from five different industries have been studied in a three year period, starting with a one-year long leader development program and in two following interviews. The material is analyzed within a theoretical and methodological framework inspired by a combination of social constructivist, discursive, narrative and critical management approaches to identity and leadership research. The narrative analytical framework is based on narrative theory, narrative therapy theorization, and positioning theory, analyzing the thematic, temporal and relational aspects of the five leaders’ narrative accounts. Hence, the analytical strategy analyzes the narrative recourses of: problem stories, preferred stories, storylines, and the negotiation of subject positions used by the five leaders in constructing certain situated leader identities URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7807 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: Idag är kontanter och kort de vanligaste sätten som konsumenter betalar för varor och tjänster i butik eller annat försäljningsställe. Användningen av kontanter är dock liten och den minskar snabbt. Det är inte osannolikt att många butiker närmar sig den kritiska brytpunkten. Forskare vid KTH, Copenhagen Business School och Sveriges Riksbank har kommit fram till att den 24 mars år 2023 är datumet då det inte längre är ekonomiskt motiverat för en genomsnittlig svensk handlare att ta emot kontanter. Bakgrunden till projektet är att kontantanvändningen i Sverige har minskat under lång tid och att minskningstakten har ökat under de senaste åren. Internationella jämförelser visar dessutom att det är relativt unikt för Sverige. Forskarna i studien känner inte till något annat land än Sverige där det nominella värdet av kontanter i omlopp sjunker. Att förstå fenomenet är utgångspunkt för den här forskningsstudien. Mer specifikt vill forskarna förstå hur handlare ser på frågan om kontanthantering eftersom de är en central aktör i ett betalsystem vars roll inte belysts på ett gediget sätt i tidigare forskning.

Et retsøkonomisk bidrag til 200 års juridisk konflikt om ejendomsrettenRose, Kalle Johannes (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: I 1815 skrev Anders Sandøe Ørsted (herefter Ørsted) en artikel angående ejendomsrettens beskyttelse. I kølvandet på den franske revolution og indførslen af Code de Civil opgøret med naturrettens absolutte ejendomsrettighedsbegreb tog Ørsted diskussionen op angående ejendomsrettens ukrænkelighed og den døde hånd i dansk ret med fokus på datidens fonde – stiftelserne. Ørsted opstillede argumenter for og imod ejendomsrettens beskyttelse, men forholdt sig samtidig yderst kritisk til både det af naturrettens absolutte ejendomsretsbegreb og det af Code de Civil fremførte ejendomsretsbegreb. Han fandt i stedet, at løsningen skulle findes i en skønsvurdering i forhold til et generelt samfundshensyn.1 Efter Ørsteds bidrag fra 1815 deltog han selv, som folkevalgt repræsentant for København, i ”Forhandlingerne på Riigsdagen”2, som skulle blive startskuddet til demokratiets indførsel i Danmark ved den danske grundlov af 1849. I denne lovtekst fremførtes ejendomsretten som værende ukrænkelig, medmindre den af almenvellet kræves ved lov og da skal krænkelsen ske mod erstatning.3 Formuleringen var i tråd med den franske Code de Civil, som ikke efter Ørsteds tidligere skrift var optimal.
