Competitive paper, IMP ASIA Conference, December 6-10, 2009 Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaEllegaard, Chris; Geersbro, Jens; Medlin, Christopher J. (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores the interplay between value creation and appropriation of value by firms within a business network context. These two value processes are inter-linked. Collectively firms create a product of value to an end consumer and a part of that value is appropriated by each firm in the network. Value appropriation is composed of a number of different negotiation processes, value and cost moving between exchange parties and price making and taking spread across time. Value appropriation is a process. Value appropriation is important to a firm’s survival. Firms that appropriate a greater proportion of the value captured by the network, relative to their resource base and costs, will be more profitable. These firms are able to invest in new technologies, resources and business relationships to continually develop their network positions. Value creation in a business network is a result of individual firm efforts, either independently or in relationships. Equally, firms work alone and in groups to appropriate value. Understanding the dynamics and linkages between value creation and appropriation allows a better understanding of how value is created by business firms and by value nets. In the final sections of the paper we present propositions for further research and make recommendations for managers. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8231 Files in this item: 1

A Strategic Analysis FrameworkJetzek, Thorhildur; Avital, Michel; Bjørn-Andersen, Niels (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Government data has been accumulated for centuries in protected repositories and registries as public record and a matter of civil order. Recently, the Open Government Data (OGD) movement has emerged as a group that focuses on facilitating open access to government data. Proponents of OGD initiatives argue that it can strengthen democracy and improve government through increased participation, collaboration and transparency. OGD advocates are also motivated by its potential contribution to greater productivity and economic growth through increased government efficiency and the creation of new businesses and services. However, as most OGD initiatives are relatively recent, the key questions regarding the value propositions and return on investment of these initiatives remain unanswered. In this theory development paper, we propose a strategic options framework that offers criteria for generating and prioritizing OGD initiatives. The framework can guide structured analysis of the economic and social impacts of OGD with an emphasis on its value propositions for both the public and private sectors. Building on a literature review and fieldwork-based anecdotal evidence, we expect OGD initiatives to generate value and substantial returns through increased transparency, efficiency of government activities, citizen participation and entrepreneurial activity.

Government Policies on Corporate Social Responsibility in Denmark and the UKBrown, Danna; Steen Knudsen, Jette (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Do government policies on CSR in the UK and Denmark reflect distinct domestic political-economic institutional differences as predicted by the Varieties of Capitalism approach, or do they display new forms of governance that primarily address the needs of global businesses? We move beyond the management literature and the literature on public management of particular environmental and sustainability programs to explore a broader government agenda for CSR through a political science lens. We develop a set of expectations that follow from the literature on domestic institutions as well as from the literature that takes into account the role of governments in interaction with transnational actors. We find evidence for a substitution objective in the initial CSR programs of the Danish and British governments (and a mirror objective in Denmark). However, we also find that globalization has motivated governments to use their regulatory authorities pertaining to CSR policies for purposes beyond enhancement of welfare state functions.

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

Korzen, Iørn; Gylling, Morten (Hamburg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper argues that translators can greatly benefit from contrastive studies of discourse structure. Cross-linguistic studies of Italian and Danish point to significant typological differences in information packaging in the two languages, especially in their use of deverbalisation. Italian sentences tend to include a larger number of Elementary Discourse Units (EDUs), especially propositions, than Danish. A higher percentage of these is rhetorically backgrounded by means of non-finite and nominalised predicates. Danish text structure, on the other hand, is more informationally linear and characterised by a higher number of finite verbs and topic shifts. These typological differences are transferred into three simple translation rules concerning 1) the number of EDUs, 2) the rhetorical structure, and 3) the textualisation of rhetorical satellites.

Greve, Crasten (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper aims to take stock of the concept of New Public Management (NPM) to see what has happened with the concept, and to consider recent concepts and ideas that challenge NPM. The reason is that there is still much talk about NPM, although many now seem to think that we have gone “beyond” NPM or are in a “post-NPM” public management situation. The second part of the paper will deal with self-styled conceptual alternatives to NPM. These began to appear in the last decade. With “self-styled” I mean that they explicitly present themselves as alternatives to NPM and address the shortcomings in NPM to promote other conceptualizations. Combined, these alternatives approach a coherent research agenda. To be able to discuss these matters, the argument is presented through a theoretical approach that views public management reform as institutional change. This approach is now common in public management reform studies (Pollitt & Bouckaert 2004; Christensen & Lægreid, 2001, 2007, 2011), Knill (1999) and Barzelay (2001) and colleagues (Barzelay & Gallego 2010). The analytical framework comes from theories of public policymaking and theories of historical institutionalism in political science. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8548 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

How do Management Consultants Contribute to Innovation Processes?Houman Andersen, Poul; Ellegaard, Chris; Kragh, Hanne (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In step with an increasingly knowledge-based competition firms increases their innovation activities. For this purpose integration, of external inputs from management consultants increasingly comes fore. However, the value of management consultants in general and to innovation processes in particular has been challenged. From some perspectives, management consultants are being criticized as dressing up mundane truths in fancy concepts and doing nothing but telling customers what they already know. The purpose of this paper is to try to understand the value of management consultancy from a sensemaking perspective, using a case study of concept development processes in a leading European Kitchen manufacturer. As will be showed, redressing what customers already know may in fact comprise a valuable input for their clients’ ability to identify a conception of reality which entails an actionable conception of reality.

The case of municipal parking officesDahl, Dorte Boesby (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper is about the work and management of parking patrol officers in a Danish municipal department responsible for parking law enforcement. The job as a parking officer is un-skilled and fairly light in terms of physical demands, but quite demanding in terms of contact and coping with disgruntled car-drivers. In recent years the municipality has developed a strict policy in regard to parking, increasing both the enforcement of parking rules and the prices for parking. Alongside this development, the municipal department has become renowned for management’s active and ambitious work to improve the working environment for parking officers, and to employ diversity management. Regarding parking officers as street-level bureaucrats (Lipsky 2010), the paper addresses the characteristics of their work and the challenges posed to the individual employee and manager. Becoming a parking officer is not only a matter of being able to cope with people on the street, but also being able to cope with colleagues and managements’ particular expectations to your personality. Since the department of parking is part of a public organisation these expectations become all the more complicated (Hoggett 1996). They rely not only on the revenue from parking tickets and organizational credibility, but also on the availability of unskilled work for job-seekers and integration and retention efforts in staff-management.

Different Perceptions of a Place Brand by Diverse Target GroupsZenker, Sebastian; Knubben, Evelyn; Bechmann, Suzanne C. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: compete strongly with each other for attracting tourists, investors, companies, or talents. Place marketers therefore focus more and more on establishing the city as a brand and to promote their city to its different target groups. But the perception of a city (brand) can differ dramatically between those groups. Thus, place branding research should emphasize much more the city brand perceptions of the different target groups and develop strategies for cities on how to build an advantageous place brand architecture vis-à-vis its stakeholders. In this regards, we show in two empirical studies – 40 qualitative in-depth-interviews (Study 1) and an online qualitative open-ended-question survey with 334 participants (Study 2) – using network analysis the important discrepancies between the city brand perceptions in the mental representation of different target groups for the example of the city of Hamburg. Furthermore, practical implications for place marketers are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8266 Files in this item: 1

Lyck, Lise (, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: I vort forskningsprojekt ”Økonomisk vækst på landet” stod i indledningen til ansøgningen: ”I 2007 forventes verdens bybefolkning for første gang i verdenshistorien at blive større end landbefolkningen (UN-HABITAT, juli 2006). Også i Danmark har der i de sidste 10-15 år været en betydelig tilflyt-ning til landets største byer og til områder inden for pendlingsafstand af disse byer, mens folketal-let i mange landkommuner er stagneret eller gået ned.” Denne udvikling er fortsat, men hvad betyder det for den økonomiske vækst på landet?
