Førsokratisk informeret, ny-aristotelisk ἦθος-tænkning hos Martin HeideggerMoesby Jensen, Tommy (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Afhandlingens tematiske sag er en genvindelse af Heideggers tænkning og tænkevej som en før-sokratisk informeret, ny-aristotelisk ἦθος-tænkning og dette som en rekonstruktion af antik selv-ledelses-tænkning. I Komposition, referencer, oversættelser og forkortelser udvikles blandt andet en særlig forbindelse mellem referentialitet og afhandlingens komposition, under inspiration fra Heideggers egen brug af inter- og intra-tekstualitet, og vigtige kilder og formalia præsenteres. Kompositionen og dermed afhandlingens enkelte §’er er tænkt således, at en række temaer gennem afhandlingen ofte forbinder sig med tidligere udviklede temaer, som nu sættes anderledes i spil og ind i nye sammenhænge, og herved oplyses det tidligere og det senere udviklede i en gensidighed. Sagt på en anden måde, så vil en lang række forberedende behandlinger finde en senere udfoldelse, og dette angivet som en tendens i kompositionen.......

Abstract: Foreliggende dr. Philos avhandling i filosofi er skrevet som en del av et større og flerårig strategisk instituttprogram, Mennesket, nettverket og stedets betydning for innovasjon, ved Trøndelag Forskning og Utvikling (TFoU). Programmet er hovedsaklig blitt finansiert av Norges Forskningsråd, men med tilskudd både fra Nord-Trøndelag Fylkeskommune og Innovasjon Norge i regionen, samt av interne midler fra forskningsinstituttet selv. Mange år som arbeidslivsforsker førte meg til en erkjennelse om at mennesket må forstås som genuint skapende, som det Skapende Mennesket - Anthropos Ergazesthai. Derved måtte det skapendes ontologi, Geneseins ontologi , utlegges, og mest av alt for at vi alle i det skapende, som skapende og ved det skapte selv, skal kunne forstå oss på det å være menneske, som Et Godt Menneske. Det å gjøre det gode for det godes skyld, er det viktigste prosjekt av alle, fordi vi alle som mennesker ved og i de liv vi lever og beslutter å leve, ubønnhørlig og umettelig har å være. Det forplikter oss til en ubetinget gjestfri omsorg og et grenseløst ansvar for oss selv, for ethvert menneske og for all verden. Geneseins ontologi handler om de grunnleggende eksistensielle, strukturer og betingelser for denne helheten; det skapende - de(n) skapende - det skapte, og hvordan denne på det ontiske plan for vår tilværelse, idealtypisk sett åpner eller lukker for en slik ubetinget gjestfri omsorg og et slikt grenseløst ansvar for vår selv-i-verk-sett-else og verdens-i-verk-sett-else. Men Geneseins ontologi avdekker også når, hvorfor og hvordan de ontiske betingelser for vårt selv-nær-vær og til-stede-vær, ekskluderer oss fra eller inviterer oss til å overgå oss selv i mesterskapet, som en alltid allerede uavsluttet utopi, - til nettopp å kunne være det ALDRI, som vi alle er.

Interviewet som meningsdannelsela Cour, Anders; Knudsen, Morten; Thygesen, Niels Thyge (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Inden for samfundsvidenskaben ser vi et stigende antal analyser, der trækker på et systemteoretisk iagttagelsesprogram. Problemet er, at disse analyser sjældent gør sig spørgsmålet om dataproduktion klart. Og hvis analyserne anvender interviewmetoden, så udelades refleksioner over interviewet som en særlig erkendelsesstrategi ofte. Artiklen forsøger at udfylde dette tomrum. Først præciseres den videnskabelige iagttagelse med afsæt i den tyske systemteoretiker Niklas Luhmanns iagttagelsesprogram. Dernæst diskuteres den kvalitative interviewmetode mhp. at præcisere, hvilken status interviewet har i systemteoretiske analyser. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6428 Files in this item: 1

Janning, Finn (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: There is a story about two companies, and how the one was supported and dominated by the other. Even today, more than 13 years after their separation, the support and domination of one company over the other seems to continue. In 2001 NNE (Novo Nordisk Engineering A/S), celebrated its tenth anniversary as an independent affiliate within the Novo Group. The anniversary was celebrated with a huge party at the Øksnehallen Exhibition Centre located in Copenhagen, Denmark. Here NNE launched its new Corporate Visual Identity (CVI). The CVI was created in order for NNE to show the world that it strived to become the market leader in the growing fields of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Equally important, NNE wanted to detach itself from its supporter and dominator, the company Novo Nordisk A/S. To begin with, NNE changed its name from Novo Nordisk Engineering A/S to NNE; secondly it created a new logo; and last, as a brand promise, it stated: Unique Know How. In fact, NNE changed all of its visual identity (i.e. CVI) in a manner like that of pirates who want to change identity by raising another flag on the mast before anchoring at a harbor.

Industrial and institutional revolution in the district of Aachen (Aix‐la‐Chapelle), 1800‐1860Reckendrees, Alfred (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In the first half of the 19th century, the industrial district of Aachen was a small dynamic economic region in the West of the Prussian Rhineland. It was a leading industrial region in terms of production and a region in which modern economic institutions advanced modern industrial organizations. The regional institutional arrangements were partly based on the French law:1 During the French Revolutionary Wars, the West of the Rhineland had been a part of France with the region of Aachen (see maps 1 and 2) forming the Département de la Roer. After the French defeat in 1814, the Rhineland was integrated as the Rhineprovince into the Prussian State, but with very few exceptions the French legal system continued. The French code de commerce rather than the Prussian civil law constructed the norms of business and commercial activities2 and institutional arrangements that had emerged in the ‘French period’ continued to influence regional economic development. Not only property rights and civil rights, also other institutions of French origin like chambers of trade and commerce, commercial courts, or collective institutions for the settlement of work related conflicts shaped economic behaviour. 3 New Prussian laws did not dramatically influence regional economic development; only the Railroad Law (1838) and the Prussian Joint Stock Companies Law (Preußisches Aktiengesetz) of 1843 had a certain impact. Just like the General German Trade Law (Allgemeines deutsches Handelsgesetzbuch) of 1861, the Joint Stock Company Law was based on French ideas and aimed at modernizing the Prussian economy. It perhaps helped developing the eastern parts of Prussia towards a more capitalistic economy; for the region of Aachen it mainly introduced more oversight from the Prussian State. The Prussian integration of the Rhineland did, of course, also induce some economically relevant change; this regards e.g. the introduction of the Prussian currency or the Prussian trade union. These aspects will be discussed later. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8615 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Dette værk er indgivet til Ph.D. bedømmelse under Forskerskolen i Viden og Ledelse ved Institut for Ledelse, Politik og Filosofi ved Copenhagen Business School som en del af opfyldelse af kravene for at opnå graden Ph.D. Målet med denne afhandling er, at fremsætte en kombination af nye teoretisk perspektiver og ledelsesmetoder, som tilsammen vil give et bedre indblik i de tidlige stadier af corporate venturing. Dette vil inkludere nye perspektiver på corporate venturing, eftersom afhandlingen videreudvikler akademiske og praktiske værktøjer for beslutningsprocesser. Afhandling bidrager med to overordnede tilføjelser til den nuværende litteratur om corporate venture. For det første, sætter den fokus på de vigtige, men oversete, tidlige faser ved venture processen. Dette indebærer de forhold, nødvendige for udvikling af nye innovative venture muligheder (venture basen), opdagelse af investeringsmuligheder og endelig forberedelse til evaluering af investeringsmuligheder. Venture basen er de karakteristika og forhold der for et firma og dets miljø kan udgøre ressourcer til opstart af nye ventures. Grundet ventures innovative natur bliver det, at opdage entreprenelle muligheder en hovedudfordring der involverer en diversificeret gruppe af aktører. Den tidlige fase inkluderer også specifikke vidensskabende handlinger der skal udføres for at kunne evaluere de mange investeringsmuligheder. For det andet bibringer afhandlingen nye perspektiver til hvorledes aktiviteterne i de tidlige faser er forbundet i værdikæden. I modsætning til tidligere litteratur, hvor venture processer præsenteres som lineære og forudsigelige, demonstrerer dette værk, at en mere dynamisk tilgang er tiltrængt, en tilgang der er særlig fokuseret på hvordan vidensprocesser og læringsfremmende aktiviteter driver venture processen, lige fra udviklingen af nye ideer til deres betydning evalueres. Disse bidrag trækker på teoretiske perspektiver fra den nuværende corporate venture litteratur (såsom Block and MacMillan, 1993; Burgelman, 1984, 1996; Chesbrough, 2000; Zahra, 1991) og komplementerende litteratur der tilvejebringer et netværk og videns perspektiv (såsom Gibbons et al. 1994; Kline and Rosenberg, 1986; Powell et al., 1996). Disse perspektiver er særligt gennemslagskraftige i deres argumentation om innovations processer og evolutionær udvikling. De bringer også ny indsigt om den type læringsproces som corporate ventures er en del af når de udvikler og evaluerer nye venture muligheder. I modsætning til en traditionel monografisk Ph.D. afhandling, så præsenterer denne afhandling sine resultater i fem (5) uafhængige men forbundne undersøgelser, udgivet i internationale peerreviewed tidsskrifter og bog kapitler. Udover disse studier så indeholder afhandlingen også en teoretisk introduktion og metode, en litteratur gennemgang og en konklusion. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7133 Files in this item: 1

la Cour, Anders (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in the voluntary organisations that play an important and innovative part in the development of the welfare societies in America (se Salamon 1995;1997; Alexander, Nank and Stivers C. 1999; Reisch and Sommerfeld 2003), England (se Plowden 2003) and Scandinavian (se... .) . The states, in particular, has realised that a number of welfare tasks cannot be solved without establishing a close working relationship with the existing voluntary social sector. The added political interest has led to greater awareness of the structuralisation of voluntary organisations and their supply of services. At the same time, we know very little today about the practical functions of volunteers – what is it they do and know, and how may this possibly differ from what others do and know. We are also in need of studies to highlight the relationship between the practices of volunteers and the voluntary organisations which initially facilitated the development of such practices. The need for such information is growing in step with the ever-increasing demands placed on the practices of volunteers by society in general and politicians in particular. Using Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems as a springboard, this article will look at the state’s expectations for new and more integrated forms of cooperation with the voluntary organisations. These expectations are interesting precisely because the bodies that are seeking to cooperate have very different ways of organising the provision of social services. Using a specially selected area of user-cantered voluntary social services, the article will examine the unique aspects of voluntary work, as well as the unique way in which the voluntary organisations organise and manage this work. The article will argue that the voluntary work represent a interaction system, and that the organisation which instigates the voluntary social work neither has access to it, nor control over it. The article will therefore show that there is another, far more controversial side to voluntary social services than the state’s attempts to formulate a joint voluntary service policy. Voluntary organisations risk becoming embaressed. On the basis of this argument, the article will pinpoint a number of risks associated with the attempt to formalise cooperation between public and voluntary social services. What are the risks for the people towards whom these services are directed? What are the risks for the voluntary organisations? And what are the risks for the social policies of the welfare state, based as they are on the principle of universalism? URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6307 Files in this item: 1

Any Gains from TradeFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Although they have developed very much in isolation from each other, we argue the theory of entrepreneurship and the economic theory of the firm are closely related, and each has much to learn from the other. In particular, the notion of entrepreneurship as judgment associated with Frank Knight and some Austrian school economists aligns naturally with the theory of the firm. In this perspective, the entrepreneur needs a firm, that is, a set of alienable assets he controls, to carry out his function. We further show how this notion of judgment adds to the key themes in the modern theory of the firm (i.e., the existence, boundaries, and internal organization). In our approach, resource uses are not data, but are created as entrepreneurs envision new ways of using assets to produce goods. The entrepreneur’s decision problem is aggravated by the fact that capital assets are heterogeneous. Asset ownership facilitates experimenting entrepreneurship: Acquiring a bundle of property rights is a low cost means of carrying out commercial experimentation. In this approach, the existence of the firm may be understood in terms of limits to the market for judgment relating to novel uses of heterogeneous assets; and the boundaries of the firm, as well as aspects of internal organization, may be understood as being responsive to entrepreneurial processes of experimentation. Key words: Entrepreneurship, heterogeneous assets, judgment, ownership, firm boundaries, internal organization. JEL Codes: B53, D23, L2 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6429 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The present report is drafted for the SUCCESS1 project; a pilot project launched by the EIT with the purpose of benchmarking past and ongoing collaborations in the knowledge triangle of research, education and innovation in the European Union. The empirical focus is the field of climate and energy research. This field is in specific need of more efficient collaborative models that can facilitate knowledge sharing and thereby ease the development of new sustainable energy technologies. By analysing existing projects and processes in this field, we are able to derive new and improved models of governance structures for integrated partnerships in order to improve the innovation processes. The final goal is to work towards recommendations on the process of strengthening relations within the Knowledge Triangle of education, innovation and research in the European Union. With this report, we aim at providing a solid ground for establishing and analyzing best practice collaboration in the field of climate and energy research.

New Adventures in the Public Management of Pay ScalesRennison, Betina Wolfgang (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Communication makes a difference. The manner in which we communicate creates the phenomena we communicate about. It can seem obvious, but we are nevertheless seldom aware of the complexity this constructivist assumption implies. Through an analysis of a new salary system in the public sector of Denmark (called New Wage), this paper theorizes this complexity in terms of Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory. It identifies four wholly different ‘codes’ of communication: legal, economic, pedagogical and intimate. Each of them shapes the phenomena of ‘pay’, the construal of the employee and the form of management differently. In this chaos of codes the managerial challenge is to take a second order position in order to strategically manage the communication that manages management itself. Key words: Management; personnel management; human-relations; pay-system; communication; system-theory; discursive epistemology URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6381 Files in this item: 1
