A possible co-existence in the universities?Hansson, Finn (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper will address the role of the recent implementation of systems of research evaluation in universities. The role of classic quality control system, the peer review, is to produce the most trustworthy knowledge and at the same time function as a learning system in a peer-to-peer learning process based on the norms of science. Scientific work was and to a large degree still is organized as a craft guild with an apprenticeship kind of training function for young scientists, who tacitly have accepted the authoritative hierarchical system normally associated with organizations one or two centuries ago. Recent studies of knowledge creation and learning in organizational learning theory have demonstrated the complexity of the process of knowledge in organizations. But in the university the very accidental and random model for learning is still state of the art, leaving the important learning decisions in relation to knowledge and learning to the individual scientist and not to the organization, the research group or the university. These individualized and unorganized learning systems are at the same time confronted with a much more systematically organized system of research evaluation. The basic question is what will become of the classic internal and tacit modes of learning science by day to day training of young scientists, when new models of research evaluation introduces new forms of governance in universities as a response to policy demands.

En analyse af coachingsdiskursens genealogi og governmentalityHede, Tobias Dam (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne afhandling er at undersøge coachingdiskursens genealogi og ”governmentality”, dvs. dens historiske formationer og normative basis som ledelsesmodel og praksisregime. Problemfeltet formuleres igennem det såkaldte ”symmetriproblem”. Den væsentligste udfordring heri er spørgsmålet om, hvordan en coach kan bistå et andet menneske med at åbne sig for og vende sig imod det, der er væsentligt for den enkelte selv, og det fællesskab, han eller hun definerer sig i forhold til. I det perspektiv er symmetriproblemets analysestrategiske funktion at være samlebetegnelse for tre ”problematiseringslinjer” i coachingdiskursens genealogi og governmentality, der konstituerer sig igennem diskursive strategier for: 1) Ledelse, 2) erkendelse og 3) subjektivitet. Ud fra det perspektiv besvarer afhandlingen følgende research question: Hvordan problematiseres, idealiseres og tilegnes coaching som samtalekunst og ledelsesdisciplin på baggrund af symmetriproblemet? Afhandlingens formål og problemfelt vil i det følgende blive udfoldet i en mere generel indledning ud fra fem overskrifter: 1) Motivation af problemfeltets tilblivelse, aktualitet og relevans; 2) analysestrategisk greb; 3) genstandsfelt; 4) erkendelsesinteresser og forskningsbidrag, samt 5) analysestrategiens disposition og empiriske design.

Abstract: Recent studies of the impact of science parks have questioned traditional assumption about the effect of the parks on innovation and economic growth. Most studies tend to measure the effect by rather traditional measures, revenue, survival of new firms, without taking into account, that knowledge has gained a growing importance in the new economy. If we shift focus to organization theory discussions on new knowledge and innovation has specialized in relation to the process of creation, managing, organizing, sharing, transferring etc. of knowledge. The evaluation of science parks has to relate to the changed role of knowledge in the creation of economic growth. With the help of the concept of the ba from Nonanka, the article discuss if or how traditional organized science parks can become central actors in the new knowledge production or has to be viewed as an outdated institution from the industrial society. Keywords: knowledge creation, ba, science parks, knowledge management URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6365 Files in this item: 1

En socialpsykologisk analyse af forholdet imellem selvledelse, ledelse og stress i det moderne arbejdslivGroth-Brodersen, Signe (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Afhandlingen rejser et kritisk perspektiv på individualiseringen af sundhedsfremme ud fra en diskussion af ledelse af selvledelse i det moderne arbejdsliv. Det er karakteristisk for den eksisterende danske og internationale forskning i selvledelse, at der er gennemført en begrænset empirisk udforskning af selvledelsens funktion og virke i arbejdslivets praksis. Det er i særlig grad empirisk underbelyst, hvordan variationer i forholdet imellem selvledelse og ledelse indvirker på forekomsten af stresssymptomer. Et nyere dansk empirisk projekt placerer selvledelse, beskrevet som en særlig form for selvorganiseringskompetence, i en positiv position i forhold til at håndtere det grænseløse arbejdsliv. Det grænseløse arbejdsliv beskrives her som det at have frie grænser i forhold til organiseringen af ’arbejdstid og arbejdssted’. Disse resultater udfordrer tidligere studier indenfor arbejdslivsforskning, hvor man i højere grad har set selvledelse koblet sammen med stress og stigende krav til individet (Phil-Tingvad, 2010; Allvin et. al., 2011, Lund & Hvid, 2007). I den internationale forskning beskrives selvledelse som ’Self-Leadership’. Self-Leadership handler om en særlig form for selvkontrol, hvor individet giver sig selv feedback og er selvmotiverende (Neck & Hougton, 2006; Manz & Neck, 2004). Self-Leadership er en teori, der arbejder med selvledelse uden en konkret kobling til arbejdslivet. Teorien beskæftiger sig derfor ikke med selvledelsens sammenspil med ledelsen og herunder betydningen af ledelse som relevant kontekstuelt parameter. Selvledelse bliver set som en eksistentiel form for egenledelse.... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8626 Files in this item: 1

Et mixed method studie, der belyser læringskonsekvenser af et lederkursus for et praksisfællesskab af offentlige mellemledereMoesby-Jensen, Cecilie K. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The English title of this dissertation, which in the outset was an integrated part of a larger intervention study on the effects of team manager training, is: Social learning and shared practice. A mixed method study showing the learning consequences of a training course for a community of practice of public middle managers. Due to the growth of the elderly population in Denmark and, simultaneously, the fact that a large part of Danish health care workers soon face retirement, in addition to the challenge regarding the recruitment and the holding on to employees in the public health care sector in Denmark in the coming years, this sector is confronted with the task of creating and sustaining sought-after workplaces and one way of doing this is by organizing the work in a efficient and attractive way for the employees, for instance in compliance with the idea of teamwork. This entails change, education and learning, and this dissertation investigates, in a case-study, the social learning consequences of a training course for middle managers in the Danish health care system, and thus poses the research question: What are the intended and unintended learning consequences of the training course ”Managing teams”?....

The role of laughterMik-Meyer, Nanna (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The topic of social work does not normally inspire laughter. So it is perhaps not surprising that research into the culture of social work rarely pursues its humorous aspect—the role of irony and laughter, for example. But if Michael Mulkay (1988) is right in suggesting that the domain of humor allows contradictory worlds to coexist, then this topic warrants a closer look. After all, no one would deny that social work involves a measure of contradiction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6349 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Hvordan kan man forklare, at små, nystartede, ressourcesvage virksomheder er i stand til at udfordre og sommetider udkonkurrere store, markedsledende foretagender – ofte med utroligt enkle virkemidler? Som er i stand til at ændre spillets regler på trods af intens konkurrence og høje adgangsbarrierer. Praksis viser, at teknologiske opdagelser, produktmæssig nyskabelse, speciel heldig timing eller særlig passivitet fra konkurrenters side langtfra altid er forklaring nok. Der må med andre ord eksistere en unik innovationsform eller -formel, der kan føre til konkurrencefordele ad helt andre veje! Dette paper præsenterer og diskuterer en sådan anden opfattelse af innovation og viden med fokus på den virksomhed eller iværksætter, som ikke har andet at ty til end idérigdom. Som er nødt til at bryde med spillets regler og betræde helt nye stier for at kunne konkurrere. Det har jeg kaldt strategisk innovation. Konklusionen er, at strategisk innovation frembringes af særlige kompetencer. Kompetencer, som den lille, ressourcemæssigt underlegne virksomhed eller outsideren har mindst lige så store chancer for at beherske som etablerede spillere i markedet. Nøglen til strategisk innovation er kreativ markedsviden omsat til ny, overraskende forretningslogik! URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6303 Files in this item: 1

Change management challenges in the Danish police reformDegnegaard, Rex (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Since its commencement in January 2007, the Danish police reform has been a hot topic in the media, at universities, dinner parties, and in waiting rooms. The general perception of the police reform is that it is a failure. During 2008, the reform has been subject to much public debate, which has linked many unfortunate cases of police neglect with the police reform. Furthermore, the public debate has created a picture of a police not in control and with the reform to blame. Given this troublesome context of the police reform, the question which everyone is asking is: why did it go wrong? Along with the question of: whose fault was it? The current thesis does not provide one single answer to the chaotic situation surrounding the police reform. Neither does it place the responsibility of the unforeseen consequences of the police reform. Rather, this thesis focuses on unforeseen consequences of the reform in regards to change management and organizational implications. This thesis is submitted as a doctoral thesis at Copenhagen Business School in completion of a three-year Ph.D. study. The thesis is the result of a longitudinal research study on change management challenges in the Danish police reform. The study rests on a multi-sited methodology compromising an array of research methods such as interviews, field studies, presentations, meetings, written document studies, etc. over the course of the three years’ duration of the study. The study draws from different strands of literature, primarily change management literature and institutional literature, including resource dependency theory. The research question, which guides the thesis, is as follows: What are the change management challenges and the organizational implications of introducing a reform, which has a functional-rational logic of modernization and efficiency to the Danish police, which is a strongly institutionalized organization? The research question has been answered through the analysis, which is divided into three sections: - Change management in the reform, - Content of the police reform, and - The external control of the police.

Abstract: Denne rapport undersøger, hvordan strategisk ledelse bliver beskrevet i kvalitative interviews med 22 skoleledere fordelt over størstedelen af landet. Dvs. kommunerne Odense, Fåborg-Midtfyn, Assens, Nyborg, Fredericia, Syddjurs, Skanderborg, Mariager Fjord, Silkeborg, Frederikshavn, Aalborg, Ringkøbing-Skjern, Varde, Fredensborg, Rudersdal, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Frederiksberg, Haderslev, Gladsaxe og Køge. Baggrunden for undersøgelsen er OECD’s kritik (2007) af, at der foregår for lidt strategisk ledelse i folkeskolen og for meget pædagogisk/faglig ledelse. Formålet med undersøgelsen var gennem interviews at skabe forståelse for, hvordan skoleledere selv 1) forstår og 2) arbejder med strategisk ledelse, når man giver dem ordet i en interviewundersøgelse.
