Abstract: European Commission funded research is driven by the objective of integrating excellent research in Europe by using public funding to gain momentum and sustainability. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the management patterns of 20 Networks of Excellence. Our analysis indicates an absence of business management competences in the project consortia and unclear criteria for sustainability. Sustainability strategies appear to be ad hoc driven and orchestrated by the project monitoring events, rather than built in the consortia management structure. The paper advocates for bringing onboard conventional management models along with strategic positioning, business models, and business plans.

Abstract: Erhvervsrettet forskning i ledelse foregår i vidt omfang i samarbejde med virksomheder, der selv arbejder med forskningens problemstillinger. Det betyder, at der forskes i et felt, der selv reflekterer over de problemstillinger, der undersøges, og som kan bidrage til videnproduktionen på mange andre måder end som "rå data". Forskerne kommer med mange forskellige relationer til feltet. Fra en rolle som ren observatør, over rollen som forskende konsulent til egentlig praktiker, der forsker i sit eget miljø. Derfor er det interessant som forsker indenfor dette område at se på metodiske tilgange, der nyttiggør feltets og forskerens egne indsigter i de problemstillinger, der søges belyst, og som direkte kan understøtte aktørernes egen håndtering af disse. Det er interessant ud fra en "traditionel" universitetsbaseret forskningssynsvinkel, og det er interessant i den bredere diskussion af, hvordan virksomhederne styrker deres egen evne til "forskningsbaseret" refleksion over egen praksis. Aktionsforsknings traditionen har sit udgangspunkt i forskernes samspil med et reflekterende felt og er derfor en vigtig metodisk inspirationskilde til den erhvervsorienterede forskning. Men aktionsforskningen er ikke konsolideret som én fælles forskningstradition. Der er derimod udviklet en række forskningsmetodiske tilgange såsom: Aktionsforskning, Action science, Sociologisk fantasi, Bruger/borger involvering i udviklingsprojekter, Dialogforskning, Reflective practice, Action learning, Appreciative inquiry, Communities of Inquiry in Communities of practice, Clinical inquiry (Baskerville 1996). Metoderne er udviklet i relation til det felt eller problemstilling, som forskergrupperne var engagerede i, og kun enkelte er tænkt ind i en erhvervsforskningskontekst. Denne mangfoldighed har ført til, at det enkelte erhvervsforskningsprojekti stort omfang har skullet definere sit eget ståsted for sin interaktion med feltet, opstille sineegne kriterier for etik, kvalitet og generaliserbarhed af resultater og så fremdeles.

Assessing the Impact of Global Economics on Industrial Developments and Inter-Ethnic Relations in Penang, MalaysiaJacobsen, Michael (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Due to the increasingly integration and thus inter-dependency between the global economy, a given national economy and their societal embedment a triangulation between the three elements is a must if one is to understand the dynamic processes between them. This article focuses especially on the national economic and societal aspects of such a triangulation thus positioning the national dependencies of the global economy in the background. The notion of triangulation is perceived by the author to be more holistic and relational oriented compared to an approach based on decoupling. The latter aims through sector defined studies to assess the level of connectivity between global and national economics as well as between them and their societal embedment in order to detect whether there are potential fault-lines between the three thus mitigating the notion of decoupling. This article applies a triangular approach on the electronic and electrical manufacturing sector in Penang. It concentrates in particular on how companies within this sector relate to pertinent governmental initiated industry policies and the impact of the inter-ethnic related affirmative action policy in this connection. The global aspect of the triangulation has thus been put on a back burner in this study, as the article emphasises the importance of pointing towards the inter-dependency between the political, the inter-ethnic and the economic sectors in Penang, as they are perceived to condition each other.

Abstract: This paper questions the overall role of interfirm linkages in industrial dynamics. Studying Danish trucking and congress tourism, the paper addresses a number of particular questions concerning how industry responds to changing conditions. In trucking, the important interfirm linkages are pecuniary and entails nontrivial exchange among multiple dispersed agents, while in congress tourism Inter-organizational linkages are more strategic, with the activities of multiple agents forming together into products, without direct exchange.

Abstract: China’s FDI to Africa has drawn much attention recently, partially because of the high profile China has given it, and partially because of the political and economic effects it is having on Africa. This paper begins by outlining the political context which is needed to understand Chinese outward FDI, namely the introduction of the "open door” policy and, more particularly, its policy towards Africa. The paper then goes on to give an overview of Chinese FDI in Africa. The paper then turns to ask the question: Is Chinese FDI developmental? To answer this question, it examines the notion of development and argues that much of the "western FDI” debate is severely limited in as far as it concentrates on income poverty and ignores other aspects of multidimensional poverty. After giving an overview of China’s involvement in Africa, the paper turns to four case studies of Chinese FDI, examining the developmental impacts on a variety of dimensions (as far as is possible) of different types of FDI in different regimes, namely resource seeking and manufacturing in Zambia, an infrastructure project in Botswana and construction/tourism in Sierra Leone. It warns against generalising from these cases, but suggests that the developmental effects so far have been limited. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6753 Files in this item: 1

what can organizational economics contribute?Foss, Nicolai J.; Mahnke, Volker (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Knowledge management has emerged as a very successful organization practice and has been extensively treated in a large body of academic work. Surprisingly, however, organizational economics (i.e., transaction cost economics, agency theory, team theory and property rights theory) has played no role in the development of knowledge management. We argue that organizational economics insights can further the theory and practice of knowledge management in several ways. Specifically, we apply notions of contracting, team production, complementaries, hold-up, etc. to knowledge management issues (i.e., creating and integration knowledge, rewarding knowledge workers, etc.) , and derive refutable implications that are novel to the knowledge management field from our discussion.

Abstract: Turisme regnes som et af verdens største erhverv. UNWTO, der er turismens hovedorganisa-tion globalt har opgjort antal ansatte til 235 mio., dvs. 9,2 % af alle job, og turismens andel af verdens bruttonationalprodukt (BNP) til 9,7 %. Turismen fortsætter med at vokse. Økono-misk krise og finanskrise, askesky mv. har betydet kortvarige afvigelser fra væksttrenden og enkelte ændringer i udviklingen af turismedestination. Europa modtager langt de fleste turister, og turismen er derfor et meget stort erhverv i de fleste EU-lande. Fra Kommissionens side er der nu - siden turisme med Lissabon traktaten er blevet et EU anliggende - pr. 30. juni 2010 udformet et mål om, at EU skal være verdens turismedestination nr. 1 og en politik, der omfatter 21 punkter, se for eksempel Lise Lyck; ”Handlingsplan for Dansk Turisme”. Denne publikation kan købes for 150 kr. ved henvendel-se til ll.tcm@cbs.dk. Publikationen er også fremlagt på dette møde. Dansk turisme har desværre haft betydelige problemer med konkurrenceevnen og har som det eneste EU land gennem en årrække har haft en aftagende markedsandel i udenlandske overnatninger. Det er baggrunden for, at erhvervets aktører og nogle politikere har arbejdet for at erhvervet kan blive konkurrencedygtigt og bidrage mere til at skabe økonomisk vækst, velfærd og arbejdspladser i Danmark.

Abstract: We measure the quantitative importance of labor mobility as a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge and skills across firms. For this purpose we create a unique data set that matches all applications of Danish firms at the European Patent Office to linked employer-employee register data for the years 1999-2002. The Danish workforce is split into "R&D workers", who hold a bachelor's or a master's degree in a technical field, and "non-R&D workers". We find that mobile R&D workers ("R&D joiners"') contribute more to patenting activity than immobile R&D workers. Furthermore, R&D workers who have previously been employed by a patenting firm ("patent exposed workers") have a larger effect on patenting activity than R&D workers without this experience. Patent exposed R&D joiners constitute the most productive group of workers: for firms that patented prior to 1999, one additional worker of this type relates to an increase in the number of patent applications of the new employer by 0.0646. This corresponds to a 14 percent increase in the mean number of yearly patent applications. We also find that mobility of R&D workers increases the joint patenting activity of the donor and recipient firms, confirming the importance of labor mobility for innovation in the economy.

Abstract: This paper introduces a model of knowledge sharing of lead users located in a public and unrestricted community of users. While existing literature on knowledge sharing focuses on allocation and collaboration processes inside or among companies we extend this to the community level. We then focus on how key agents — lead users — facilitate knowledge sharing in this setting and the features that moderate such sharing. Our results show that lead users are central to search and integration of knowledge from different external sources of relevance to their communities. Inside the community lead users are active in both “giving and taking” knowledge. Further, as users build up experience they tend to give more knowledge, thus suggesting a dynamic pattern of knowledge sharing in which increases in experience make way for important knowledge diffusion processes in the community.
