Abstract: As a social scientist of ethics and morality, Luhmann has noticed the ethical wave that has recently swept across the western world, and states that this particular kind of wave seems to have a wavelength of about one hundred years (cf. Luhmann 1989: 9 ff.). Even though the frequency and the regularity of such a phenomenon is both hard to verify and, if true, difficult to explain, it seems fair to say that since the Enlightenment, an approaching fin-de-siecle has brought an increased interest in matters concerning morality and ethics.1 The present peak has in public-political discourse and some parts of business ethics given prominence to especially one term, namely ‘value’. The question that interests me is the following: What does the articulation of ethics and morality in terms of values mean for ethics and morality as such. Or, to put the question in a more fashionably way: What is the value of value for morality and ethics? To make things a bit more precise, we can make use of the common distinction between ethics and morality, i.e. that morality is the immediate, collective and unconscious employment of morals, whereas ethics is the systematic, individual and conscious reflections of morals and morality.2 The main question is then, what the use of ‘value’ as the key-term in moral discourses means to morality as such. Accepting ethics as a part of morality - since one cannot be moral without sometimes reflecting on the validity of the morality employed andexperienced - I have attempted to answer this question by investigating what the use of the term ‘value’ leads to in ethical discourses, i.e., what moral implications it has for ethics to focus on the concept of value.

Abstract: In contemporary literature on venture capital financial infrastructures are identified as major contributors to a large proportion of today’s innovations. Yet quite contradictory the literature on systems of innovation, hardly ever treat venture capitalists as a coherent actor in neither national nor regional innovation systems. In attempt to locate and determine the potentials and importance of the venture capitalists in the innovation system a two-dimensional taxonomy is constructed and used to illuminate their role and position. The taxonomy gains insights through theoretical reasoning and the possible location is exemplified by a case of the Danish venture capital market. It is argued in this article that venture capitalists stand a better chance of realizing their potential when they take and are given direct and formal responsibility in the innovation system. In relation hereto, the authors thus present initiatives to be taken to raise venture capitalists to a more direct and formal role in the context of systems of innovation. Key words: Venture capital, innovation systems, innovation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6314 Files in this item: 1

Sørensen, Asger (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Det er blevet almindeligt at omtale vores samfund som et videnssamfund. Spørgsmålet er imidlertid både, hvad der menes med det, altså hvad et videnssamfund egentlig kan siges at være, og om det er en passende betegnelse for den samlede logik i vores nuværende samfund. Det er disse spørgsmål, der vil blive nærmere diskuteret i det følgende specielt i forhold til videnskab, forskning og videregående uddannelser. Konklusionen bliver desværre, at de bærende strukturer og dynamikker i vores nuværende samfund ikke støtter udviklingen af videnskabelig viden trods de mange politiske erklæringer om at prioritere forskning og uddannelse. Vores nuværende fokus på viden kan derfor bedst betragtes som et symptom på, at vi faktisk er ved at miste vores sikre greb om viden, på samme måde som man først begynder at tale om f.eks. tillid og etik, når de ikke længere er selvfølgeligheder.

The paradox of social entrepreneurial initiatives addressing vulnerable groupsBarinaga, Ester (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The young men and women of foreign background living in the suburbs of major cities are at the focus of attention of a vast array of social and economic initiatives. From state-driven development programs aiming at bridging the digital divide (Barinaga, 2010) and private-led schools working with the youth, to civil society organizations addressing domestic violence or drug-abuse as well as other forms of voluntary associations such as women groups or ethnic minority associations. These initiatives are all committed to attaining change concerning the living conditions of particular communities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8472 Files in this item: 1

An Investigation of the Expression and Rating of SentimentHardt, Daniel; Wulff, Julie (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Do user populations differ systematically in the way they express and rate sentiment? We use large collections of Danish and U.S. film reviews to investigate this question, and we find evidence of important systematic differences: first, positive ratings are far more common in the U.S. data than in the Danish data. Second, highly positive terms occur far more frequently in the U.S. data. Finally, Danish reviewers tend to under-rate their own positive reviews compared to U.S. reviewers. This has potentially far-reaching implications for the interpretation of user ratings, the use of which has exploded in recent years. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8606 Files in this item: 1

On the Vulnerability of Diversity ManagementMuhr, Sara Louise (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne afhandling handler om mangfoldighed og etik. Mere specifikt sætter den spørgsmålstegn ved mangfoldighedsledelsens etiske fundament. Mangfoldighed ønskes ledet med det udgangspunkt, at det er et etisk anliggende. Det er etisk korrekt at sørge for ligestilling, at tilgodese minoriteter og dermed at opbygge en arbejdsplads, der er social ansvarlig. Dette etiske ønske betvivler jeg ikke, men jeg sætter spørgsmålstegn ved det etiske grundsyn. Mangfoldighedsledelse beror på etiske retninger som utilitarisme, deontologi og dydsetik. Denne afhandling argumenterer derfor for et skift mod en nærhedsetik, der tager udgangspunkt i Levinas’ lære om respekten for den Andens uendelige andethed. Derved argumenterer denne afhandling, at når forskelligheder på denne måde tydeliggøres og kategoriseres, øges fokus på forskellighederne—oftest negativt—i stedet for at tilgodese dem for hvad de i virkeligheden er. Afhandlingen konkluderes ved at sætte fokus på skrøbelighed. Først på den skrøbelighed i mangfoldighedsledelseslitteraturen, som ’kalder’ på etisk afbrydelse, derved på skrøbeligheden i den Sydafrikanske situation, og til sidst på den skrøbelighed jeg som forfatter har overfor min egen tekst.

Om økonomi i Batailles generelle økonomiSørensen, Asger (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Til belysning af Batailles såkaldte generelle økonomi redegøres for nogle grundlæggende præmisser for økonomi og for kritikken af dem. Det vises hvordan Bataille inddrager energiens kredsløb gennem univers, natur og samfund i økonomien, ligesom han fastholder det subjektive begær i den indre erfarings perspektiv. Der redegøres for Bataille genrelle økonomi som politisk økonomi, og den sammenlignes med post-moderne begrundelser for hhv. forbrugskapitalisme og begærs kommunisme. Det vises, at Bataille undslipper dem begge, men at den generelle økonomi som politisk økonomi er et modsigelsesfyldt og umuligt projekt. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6371 Files in this item: 1
