Expo 2010 – Performing and regulating ‘Danishness’Ren, Carina; Ooi, Can-Seng (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Using the concepts of auto-communication and micro-orientalism, this article argues that nation branding at World Expos produces and propagates notions of difference and otherness. By use of the Danish ‘Welfairytales’ pavilion at the 2010 Expo in Shanghai, we show how national Self is performed in two versions. One attempts to communicate ‘the good Danish life’ to the Danes themselves, while the other claims Occidental superiority. The case shows how the Danish exhibition is performed and regulated as sustainable and authentic and how in spite of its seemingly dialogical and interactive layout, a number of auto-communicative and micro-orientalist practices are enacted.

Abstract: In our paper we present a project, the aim of which is to develop innovative and advanced methods for dynamic and automatic extraction of knowledge about concepts from texts and for automatic construction of ontologies. The project builds on and further develops the results of the CAOS project - Computer-Aided Ontology Structuring - which was carried out at Copenhagen Business School in the period 1998-2007. Terminological ontologies differ from other types of ontologies by comprising feature specifications and subdivision criteria. We have formalised subdivision criteria that have been used for many years in terminology work, by introducing dimensions and dimension specifications. In the CAOS prototype, facilities for semiautomatic checking of inconsistencies were developed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8283 Files in this item: 1

the efficacy of institutional discourseZinner Henriksen, Helle; Viborg Andersen, Kim (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: During the mid to late 1990s, shaping diffusion of B2B e-commerce was a key priority for governments and business associations. Viewing e-commerce as the key to continuous economic growth and a vehicle for transformation to the digital economy, national action plans were formulated to accelerate the standard development and adoption of e-commerce. This chapter argues that the Danish EDI Action Plan from 1996 cemented structural problems for the ongoing adoption and diffusion of newer B2B technologies due to a discrepancy between goals and actions, imbalanced partner allocation in standard development and an overwhelming focus on the public sector despite ambitions to fuel the overall business adoption of B2B e-commerce.

Family Ties and Embeddedness in the Indian Film Industry in BollywoodLorenzen, Mark; Taeube, Florian A. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Theoretical and empirical research on entrepreneurial networks is largely outcome-oriented and little integrated with family firm research. In this paper, we draw on social network and entrepreneurship literatures in order to investigate how family businesses build and make use of a variety of embedded and arm’s-length ties. We present novel data self-collected in qualitative, inductive fieldwork from more than 50 interviews in mainstream film production in Bollywood. Our findings contrast with extant research by showing that in the socio-cultural context of India the use of embedded ties is higher than predictions in the Page 3 / 55 Creative Encounters Working Paper #40 theoretical literature and empirical findings in cross-country studies suggest. Moreover, we show that the ‘Indian’ family is an institution that dominates embedded ties. The Banyan tree symbolizes this interconnectedness of the different branches of an Indian family compared to the plain structure of a birch tree describing Hollywood, where embedded ties can be different from familial ties.

Abstract: Ud fra aktionsforskning af faget Informationsbehandling på bachelorprogrammet HA/DØK ved Copenhagen Business School undersøger vi i denne artikel hvilke barriere de studerende oplever i forbindelse med læring af holistisk systemudvikling og hvorfor. Siden 1980’erne har man i (dele af) litteraturen anset den ’gode’ systemudvikler for at være en, der kunne fungere som brobygger mellem brugere og programmører og navigere ubesværet inden for og imellem anvendelses- og problemområdet (dvs. mellem brugernes og IT systemets område og opgaver). HA/DØK uddannelsen blev udviklet for at uddanne studerende med brobyggerkompetencer. En summativ kvalitetsvurdering har dog vist, at der eksisterer et misforhold mellem den uddannelsesmæssige intention og de studerendes faktiske læring og eksamenspræstationer på faget Informationsbehandling. Vores undersøgelse af dette misforhold viser, at mens de studerende er gode til at tænke og handle udfra problemområdet,så kæmper alle studerende uanset fagligt niveau med at nå de læringsmål, der omhandler forståelse for og inddragelse af viden om anvendelsesområdet. Vi foreslår, at de studerendes vanskeligheder skyldes, at de pga. HA/DØK studiet tilrettelæggelse allerede er proficiente funktionalister når de starter på Informationsbehandling, mens de i forhold til anvendelsesområdet må betegnes som novicer. Vi opridser forskellige alternativer til at hjælpe de studerende med at overvinde barriererne og/eller opfylde læringsmålene. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6500 Files in this item: 1

Organizational challenges for CSR communication in social mediaEtter, Michael; Morsing, Mette; Castello, Itziar (Amsterdam, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: Social media hold promises for companies to engage with a variety of stakeholders about CSR issues and thereby enhance stakeholder relationships. However, by implementing a social media strategy companies face different constraints. With this paper barriers diminishing stakeholder dialogue in the Web 2.0 are identified. Design and methodology: With a single case in‐depth‐study we analyze the implementation of a communication strategy of a recently launched CSR‐twitter‐account of a European based pharmaceutical company leading in CSR. Data is derived from interviews with four managers with central roles in strategy formulation and implementation. Findings: Five factors diminishing stakeholder dialogue are identified: Lack of resources, unfamiliarity with social media, managerial scepticism, internal guidelines and culture, and external regulations. These barriers prevent basic principles of relationship building online, such as regular updates or conversational human voice. Research limitations: With a single case study the representative value of the results is limited. However, the results give valuable insights into the challenges and concerns management faces when implementing a CSR communication strategy in social media. Practical implications: The results show that organisational constraints have to be addressed in order to implement a successful social media strategy. We therefore argue that corporate communications has to increasingly emphasis organisational aspects. Originality: To date, only little research has been done about CSR communication in social media. Furthermore, the research paper presents highly relevant and new findings by drawing the attention to organizational rooted challenges of corporate communication and strategy implementation.

Schneider, Cédric (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper describes and analyzes the occurrence and extent of oppositions initiated against plant biotechnology patents granted by the European Patent Office (EPO). The opposition mechanism is a legal procedure that allows any third party to challenge the validity of patents awarded by the EPO. Results indicate that the opposition rate is far greater in plant biotechnology than in other emerging industries. Consistent with theoretical predictions, the empirical findings suggest that opposed patents are disproportionately those that score high on features that proxy for their “value” or “quality”. In contrast to previous findings, however, the results show that large-volume applicants are more likely to be opposed. Because the boundaries of plant biotech patents are ill-defined, large patent portfolios do not promote cooperative behavior such as licensing or settlements. The analysis rejects the hypothesis that awardees are subject to “nuisance” or “frivolous” oppositions. Instead, the opposition procedure serves as an error correction mechanism.

Abstract: We make the case that psychologists should make wider use of structural econometric methods. These methods involve the development of maximum likelihood estimates of models, where the likelihood function is tailored to the structural model. In recent years these models have been developed for a wide range of behavioral models of choice under uncertainty. We explain the components of this methodology, and illustrate with applications to major models from psychology. The goal is to build, and traverse, a constructive bridge between the modeling insights of psychology and the statistical tools of economists.

Supply Chain ManagementGammelgaard, Britta; Bentzen, Eric; Aagaard Andreassen, Mette (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This report is based on the survey "Industrial Companies in Denmark – Today and Tomorrow", section IV: Supply Chain Management - Practices and Performance, question number 4.9 on performance assessment. To our knowledge, this survey is unique, as we have not been able to find results from any compatible survey. The International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) does bring up the question of supply chain management, but unfortunately, we did not have access to the database. Data from the members of the SCOR-model, in the form of benchmarked performance data, may exist, but are nonetheless not public. The survey is a cooperative project "Benchmarking Danish Industries" with CIP/Aalborg University, the Danish Technological University, the Danish Technological Institute and Copenhagen Business School as consortia partners. The project has been funded by the Danish Agency for Trade and Industry. The present survey was developed and conducted in the period of 2001-2003.

The European Undergraduate Research-Oriented Participatory Education (EU-ROPE) At Copenhagen Business SchoolTackney, Charles T.; Strömgren, Ole; Sato, Toyoko (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: While the knowledge management literature has addressed the explicit and tacit skills needed for successful performance in the modern enterprise, little attention has been paid to date in this particular literature as to how these wide-ranging skills may be suitably acquired during the course of an undergraduate business school education. This paper presents case analysis of the research-oriented participatory education curriculum developed at Copenhagen Business School because it appears uniquely suited, by a curious mix of Danish education tradition and deliberate innovation, to offer an educational experience more empowering of essential tacit knowledge skills than that found in educational institutions in other national settings. We specify the program forms and procedures for consensus-based governance and group work (as benchmarks) that demonstrably instruct undergraduates in the tacit skill dimensions of knowledge thought to be essential for success following graduation.

Abstract: Denne afhandling indeholder en retsdogmatisk analyse af beskatning af derivater efter gældende dansk ret. Derivater er finansielle instrumenter, hvis værdi direkte afhænger af værdien af en eller flere underliggende aktiver. De mest kendte derivater er futures, forwardkontrakter, optioner og swaps. Derivater handles flittigt på det finansielle marked og anvendes til at hedge uønskede risici, spekulere i fremtidige markedspriser og udnytte eventuelle arbitrage muligheder. Begrebet derivater anvendes ikke i dansk skatteret. Generelt er kontrakter, der betegnes som forwardkontrakter (terminer) og optioner (aftaler om køberetter og salgsretter) omfattet af det skatteretlige begreb finansielle kontrakter. Beskatningen af finansielle kontrakter er særskilt reguleret i Kursgevinstloven og en analyse af reglernes anvendelsesområde udgør den primære del af afhandlingen. I analysen af den skatteretlige behandling af derivater analyseres to grundlæggende problemstillinger; kvalifikation og behandling. Kvalifikationen af instrumenterne og det tilhørende afkast er essentiel, eftersom den samlede skattepligtige indkomst og formue inddeles i flere indkomsttyper, som kan underlægges en differentieret skatteretlig behandling. Kvalifikationen af finansielle instrumenter følger af KGL §§ 29 og 30. Herefter er terminskontrakter, købe- og salgsretter samt strukturerede fordringer omfattet af begrebet finansielle kontrakter og derfor de særlige regler om generel lagerbeskatning. Det følger af forarbejderne, at reglerne ligeledes finder anvendelse for finansielle kontrakter, der indgår som et delelement i en samlet aftale. I den forbindelse er det vurderet hvorvidt og i givet fald hvornår, finansielle instrumenter skal kvalificeres som ét samlet instrument eller alternativt splittes op i delkomponenter. Dette skal ses i lyset af, at derivater alene eller i kombination med andre finansielle instrumenter netop kan anvendes til at duplikere afkastet på andre transaktioner. Visse typer af kontrakter er positivt undtaget efter KGL § 30 under opfyldelse af leveringskravet, kravet om ingen afståelse og ingen modgående kontrakter.1032 Generelt skal de undtagne kontrakter beskattes sammen med det underliggende aktiv. Dette er formentlig også årsagen til, at betingelserne for undtagelsen er, at den finansielle kontrakt er tæt knyttet til ejerskab af det underliggende aktiv.

Abstract: I perioden januar til september 2010 har CEBR udført en analyseopgave for Mødrehjælpen. Formålet med denne analyse har været at belyse, i hvilket omfang Mødrehælpens Projekt I Gang økonomisk bidrager til, at de mødre, der deltager i projektet, klarer sig bedre. Da der ikke har været individdata til rådighed om projektets deltagere, har den nærværende analyse både haft som formål at identificere en gruppe af mødre, der er sammenlignelige med deltagerne samt belyse, hvordan denne og andre grupper af mødre klarer sig i samfundet. Den første rapport fra projektet udkom i august. Denne udgave indeholder yderligere oplysninger anvendelsen af sundhedssystemet samt brug af receptpligtig medicin. Undervejs har en række personer givet værdifulde kommentarer til projektet, og forfatteren vil gerne takke alle herfor. Særlig tak skal rettes til Martin Junge for sin store hjælpsomhed i forbindelse med dette projekt. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8576 Files in this item: 1
