Abstract: Purpose of the study This working paper aims to explain the main results of a survey as send out in the summer of 2003 by the Royal Danish Embassy in Warsaw (the Danish Embassy) and Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in cooperation. The Confederation of Danish Industries and the Dept. for International Economics and Management kindly allowed us to adopt and adapt their questionnaire that has been tested among Danish companies many times before (DI, 2003a). The immediate target group for our paper is the group of firms that responded to the survey. We extend our gratitude to the firms that so kindly and generously have shared with us valuable information making us capable to better understand the internationalisation of Danish companies in Eastern Europe. We hope you will find the report of interest and relevance to your company. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7098 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Da Øresundsbroen åbnede i 2000 betød det, at det blev lettere at transportere sig mellem Danmark og Sverige. Men det betød også, at et svensk lavtlønsområde blev koblet sammen med et dansk højtlønsområde. Mens lønningerne i Københavnsområdet ligger over gennemsnittet i Danmark, ligger lønningerne i Sydsverige under de gennemsnitlige svenske lønninger. Det kunne derfor forventes, at danskere i stigende grad ville tage til Sydsverige og få foretaget serviceydelser som bilreparationer, hvor lønnen udgør en betydelig udgift. Der er ingen tvivl om, at flere danskere er taget til Sverige med det mål at få repareret bil, men omfanget er dog ikke helt belyst. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6634 Files in this item: 1

E-konsultationer og policy udfordringerAndersen, Kim Normann; Medaglia, Rony (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Næsten hver anden dansker anvender internettet til, at søge efter sundhedsrelateret information, mens det for EU-15 landene kun er godt hver tredje gennemsnit. Hvor det i 2004 var 27 procent, var det i 2009 46 procent der søgte information på nettet, svarende til en vækst på 70%. Brug af nettet til at søge efter sundhedsrelateret information er ikke et ungdomsfænomen eller en krusning i vandoverfladen. Denne rapport peger på at brugen af internettet herunder brugen af sociale netværksteknologier som Facebook, etc. kan lede til yderligere vækst i e-mail konsultationerne, der i 2009 nåede nye højder......

Et studie af, hvordan ledere i praksis anvender strategiObed Madsen, Søren (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Selvom strategien i teorien burde sikre, at organisationen går i samme retning ved at vise den fælles vej for organisationen, medvirker strategien i praksis til at øge antallet af mulige veje, da lederne oversætter strategien ud fra deres egen kontekst. Derved øges antallet af strategier i organisationen, og et samlet overblik over sammenspillet og relationerne mellem strategierne vanskeliggøres. Ledere skelner mellem de forskellige dele af strategien som fx det abstrakte som ordlyden eller intentionen, og det konkrete som måltal og projekter. Lederne anvender de forskellige dele af strategien i forskellige sammenhænge, men taler stadigvæk om ”strategien” selv om de har skiftet dimension som fx mellem ordlyd og KPI’er. En anden dimension er, at lederne også kan opfatte strategien som rigtig, men irrelevant, hvilket hænger sammen med deres skelnen mellem det abstrakte og det konkrete i strategien. Den abstrakte dimension opfattes som værende rigtigt, mens strategien rent konkret kan være irrelevant for visse ledere. Strategien anvendes også som dokumentation for den øverste ledelses intentioner. Derved kan andre aktører få indblik i topledelsens tankegang, foretage modtræk, øve sig på at yde modstand på en elegant måde eller blot forberede sig på at argumentere for sin sag inden for den logik som strategien repræsenterer.

Arbejds- og ledelsesforhold i ny-økonomiske virksomhederLarsen, Bøje (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Organisations- og ledelsesformerne er studeret i 5 "ny-økonomiske" virksomheder, der formodes at illustrere fremtidens organisationsformer. Virksomhederne er udvalgt, fordi de er præget af relativt højt tempo og tidskrav, fleksibel organisation og selvledelse, en sammenglidning mellem ude og inde, højtuddannede unge medarbejdere og viden som produktionsfaktor. I praksis viser det sig, at der er højt tempo - og en noget kaotisk dagligdag, og at de fungerer i et miljø med meget viden - men med endnu mere uvidenhed. Fleksibiliteten, selvledelsen og sammenglidningen mellem ude og inde er nok større end i "normale" industrivirksomheder, men den er absolut set begrænset. Årsagerne til denne kun "moderate revolution" af organisationsformerne diskuteres: Er det fordi klassisk organisation og social nærkontakt er nødvendig i den nye økonomi, eller er det manglende fantasi og tryghedsbehov? Begge muligheder holdes åbne. Endelig drøftes, om udviklingen er på vej til at realisere en utopi eller dystopi om fremtidens arbejdsplads. Væsentlige dystopiske træk fremhæves.

Abstract: The ambiguity in existing empirical work with respect to effects of deposit insurance schemes on banks’ risk-taking can be resolved if it is recognized that absence of deposit insurance is rarely credible and that the credibility of non-insurance can be enhanced by explicit deposit insurance schemes. We show that under reasonable conditions for effects on risk-taking of creditor protection in banking, and for effects on credibility of non-insurance of explicit coverage of deposit insurance schemes, there exists a partial level of coverage that maximizes market discipline and minimizes moral hazard incentives for risk-taking in banking. Using both the occurrence of banking crises and non-performing loans in the banking sector as proxies for excessive risk-taking the results strongly support this hypothesis in industrial and emerging market economies. Policy recommendations on the country level require analyses of institutional factors affecting the credibility of non-insurance. In particular, the implementation of effective distress resolution procedures for banks would allow governments to reduce explicit deposit insurance coverage and, thereby, to strengthen market discipline.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the determinants of the outcomes of patent applications (withdrawal, refusal or grant). The application process at the European Patent O¢ ce is modelled in three stages, using a Trivariate Probit model with double selectivity correction in order to test whether the applicants patenting history has an eect on the outcome of the current application. I investigate the behavior of the applicant after the patent o¢ ce has established the "state of the art", a precondition to an invention being patentable. The main results are (i) rms with large patents portfolios act following a "trial and error" strategy, by applying for large numbers of patents and thereafter waiting for the patent o¢ ce s nal decision when the expected probability of grant is high, (ii) the technological importance of a patent is a crucial determinant of a successful application grant, (iii) a withdrawal is to be regarded as an expected refusal, since applicants tend to withdraw their applications when there is evidence that the inventions cannot be considered to be novel or to involve an inventive step. patents, intellectual property rights URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7693 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Der synes at være en tendens mod at beskrive offentligt lederskab som udspændt mellem forskellige hensyn. I ledelsesteori vinder ord som dilemmaledelse og paradoksledelse terræn. Det er stærke ord. Ord, som beskriver konflikter i mennesker og i grupper, modsætninger og sågar logisk umulighed. Samtidig har der siden 1990’erne været en tendens mod at løse lederskabets udfordringer med kompetenceudvikling, med inspiration fra Human Ressource Management. I samme tråd peger ledelseslitteratur, debatfora og mange ledere selv på nødvendigheden i at ruste fremtidens offentlige ledere; så den enkelte leder kan navigere under de spændingsfyldte vilkår. Den overbevisning kommer blandt andet til udtryk i et voksende antal uddannelsestilbud til lederne. Men er forståelsen af offentligt lederskab reduceret til et fokus på, at ledere skal kompetenceudvikles? Og er et fokus på at få rustet lederne i så fald et robust fundament for fremtidens offentlige lederskab? URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8264 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The Baltic countries have been through a period of 15 years with fast changes in ownership and corporate governance structures. The privatization processes have been quite different in the three countries, but in the dynamics after privatization we see an increasing level of similarity in the adjustment of the ownership structure. We have followed the changes quite closely over the years both in quantitative research and in case studies. We focus on the most important institutions for corporate governance in legislation and enforcement, bankruptcy, company law, minority shareholder protection as well as the development of the banking system and stock exchanges. The paper analyses the main trends in the development and show how all the three Baltic economies are heading toward a typical Continental European system of corporate governance based on quite concentrated blockholder ownership.

Abstract: In the 1990s, most of the Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) went through radical liberalization and adopted large-scale economic and political reform programs. These programs included almost complete price, trade and capital movement liberalization, macroeconomic stabilization, currency reform, and small-scale and large-scale privatization. What is the role of the development of a legal and institutional infrastructure along with these radical changes in society and the economy? The first part of this paper is based on the results of an interview study of entrepreneurs and managers in Estonia undertaken in 1998 and in Estonia, Russia, Finland and Sweden in 2000 in order to obtain their view of the behavior of government agencies, lawmaking procedures and the operation of law enforcement mechanisms. The second part of this paper presents summary results from interview surveys of Estonian manufacturing firms undertaken from 1994-2000. The surveys were designed to quantitatively measure the state of and changes in the Estonian business environment, focusing on the key aspects of financial contractual relationships of Estonian manufacturing firms as well as regulation and dispute resolution mechanisms. Among the observations it is noted that government regulations do not seriously affect business decisions regarding the operation, expansion or closing down of Estonian manufacturing firms. A second observation is that the Estonian court system is perceived as inadequate for resolving a substantial number of disputes and conflicts among economic agents although legislation exists. Most firms rely on mechanisms of self-enforcement when possible.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present and analyze the Greenland Home Rule from a government and governance perspective and to relate it to the Moroccan initiative for negotiating an autonomy statute for the Sahara region and thereby to contribute to an end of this dispute. In order to make a presentation and analysis meaningful, a presentation of the historical and political context for the Nordic development is required and also a short comparison to the context for the Sahara region question, keeping in mind the differences between the two political, social, historical, and cultural contexts. In particular, while the autonomy of Greenland is well established since many years, the proposal for Sahara is still open for negotiation by all the parties and has been considered by the UN Security Council as “serious and credible”, which should be understood as an encouragement to all parties to use it as a starting point for negotiations, and enrich the scope of power devolution. Needed is also a short overview over autonomy models and the development of autonomy statutes to give a perspective on the options. On this background the Greenland Home Rule Model is presented and analyzed and the government/governance problematic analyzed in depth. The relevance for the Moroccan initiative for negotiating an autonomy statute for the Saharan region of the juridical formulation and the experiences from Greenland is discussed and the learning presented pointing out advantages and pitfalls to consider and evaluate. The last section includes a conclusion based on the presented analysis and some recommendation to consider. All is presented for further discussion and evaluation among the stakeholders interested in a solution of the autonomy question for the Sahara region.

Abstract: Although China is not a federal country, its public finance system does carry features of fiscal federalism. Since 1949, although the central government has consistently sought to exercise strong control over the country, it has at times done so by decentralist rather than centralist policies. The Dengist policies since economic reform began, for example, have had a strongly decentralist element, with continuing devolvement of control to the provincial governments, sometimes to such a degree that some observers have commented: "the centre pretends to rule and the provinces pretend to be ruled". This is also a period that witnessed the revival of old regionalisms, as well as the creation of new regionalisms brought about by increased local autonomy, rapid economic growth and increasingly globalizing trade and business linkages. While the oft-cited "China deconstructs" scenario seems at present far-fetched, the challenges posed by central-peripheral conflicts, ethnic resource contest and ethnoterritorial aspirations are real, in particular as they are being exacerbated by the country’s "retreat from equality�? and growing interregional economic disparity. In the light of these daunting exigencies, this paper explores the political economy of regional development in China, focusing on the intricate link between the country’s ethnic diversity and the role of the State in the economy, as the Asian giant warily enters a new stage of economic reform.

Abstract: Der er klar sammenhæng mellem danske virksomheders digitaliseringsstrategi og produktivitet. Det viser denne rapport, som CEBR har udarbejdet for IT- og Telestyrelsen på grundlag af en pålidelig stikprøve på omkring 8.500 danske virksomheder. Et af rapportens nøgleresultater er, at en 1 procent-point større andel af virksomheder, som har digitaliseret visse forretningsprocesser, er knyttet til 0,72 procent højere værditilvækst pr. medarbejder. Det svarer i et makroøkonomisk perspektiv til mellem 2,6 og 6,5 milliarder kroner i årlig bruttoværditilvækst. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8481 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper addresses an issue of great importance for the future organization of the consumer electronics industry: the "battle" of control over component-based digitization. We are now witnessing the dismantling of the Japanese Model that has prevailed in consumer electronics over the past 30 years. Specialized and large-scale component suppliers have taken the lead in most component-based innovations and have obtained increasingly powerful positions in the value chain of consumer electronics. This paper provides an in-depth study of the strategic and structural ramifications of one such component-based innovation, the current transformation of sound amplification from conventional to digital amplifiers. We study the early formation of this new technology as especially reflected in the particularly dynamic cluster of innovation in Denmark and extend the analysis to the global strategizing around this new technology. A framework is developed to explain the reluctance of most of the large consumer electronics giants in developing/adopting this new technology.
