Abstract: This paper draws on extensive fieldwork in a wide range of creative industries to argue that creativity itself is under-theorised, and should be considered as both enabled and inhibited by numerous constraints guiding the choices made by creative personnel during the course of their work. Six sets of constraints are outlined in the context of different forms of cultural production: material, temporal, spatial, social, representational and economic. It is argued that the performance of creative work is similar in part to Turner’s concept of ‘communitas’, when an aura of individual creativity is passed to other participants. This kind of liminal space is also found in creative industry ritual events, which enable participants to communicate on an equal footing, and gain knowledge and connections that they can then use at work in their normal everyday lives. These in turn may have a long-term effect on cultural production, creativity and constraints. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7951 Files in this item: 1

Proceedings from NordiCHI 2008 Workshop Sunday October 19, 2008Clemmensen, Torkil (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper raises themes that are seen as some of the challenges facing the emerging practice and research field of Human Work Interaction Design. The paper has its offset in the discussions and writings that have been dominant within the IFIP Working Group on Human Work Interaction Design (name HWID) through the last two and half years since the commencement of this Working Group. The paper thus provides an introduction to the theory and empirical evidence that lie behind the combination of empirical work studies and interaction design. It also recommends key topics for future research in Human Work Interaction Design. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7764 Files in this item: 1

Built-in cooperation with business communityMadsen, Dorte (, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a three year bachelor’s programme in information management. In 2006, a new educational programme in Information Management was launched at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Denmark: BA in Information Management (http://www.cbs.dk/im). Developing this programme was motivated by a wish to launch a programme with a specific focus on the emerging digital, global information world in which we live, and the initiation of the programme was motivated by a strong demand from the business community calling for graduates with a holistic view of information processes and practices in organisations. The paper focuses on the underlying model for curriculum design which has been developed at CBS. The model takes its starting point in the business community’s perception of the graduates’ future practice. In the bachelor’s programme in information management, the cooperation with the business community has been built into the curriculum design in the form of problem-based projects and an internship. On the basis of a survey of the business community’s perception of future practice, a qualifications profile for the programme was formulated. The importance of problem-oriented work is discussed, as well as the interplay between problem-based and discipline-based elements in the curriculum design.

Their Merits and Sophistication across ContextsHolm, Morten (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to expand our understanding of the applicability and performance effects of different Customer Profitability Measurement (CPM) models across contexts. Customer profitability measurement has attracted increasing interest recently – mainly in the marketing literature. The vast majority of this research has been case-based. Consequently, the evidence in this field consists of a number of case demonstrations indicating that using CPM models can be beneficial in specific industries but only very limited cross-sectional research investigating the general relationships between the CPM model use, context and firm financial performance. Researching these relationships is expected to contribute to marketing as well as management accounting literatures but also to managers working with or planning to start working with CPM models in practice for two reasons: First, marketing managers are increasingly required to be accountable for the marketing investments they expect to make. A better understanding of which CPM models that are applicable in different contexts will contribute to more efficient resource utilization in firms. Second, the management accounting literature on CPM models is very scarce despite the fact that this area is a key priority in practice. Knowledge on how CPM models are adapted to fit the environment in which the firm operates will contribute to our understanding of how CPM models should be designed but also to the general school of contingency-based management accounting research.

An econometric study of an Italian bankGritti, Paola; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We empirically address how customer satisfaction and loyalty in the banking industry may affect profitability. This helps to identify the strategy and competencies necessary to benefit from customer relationships which are important sources for improved performance in the banking. We do this by analyzing data collected on 2,105 customers of 118 branches of one of the biggest banks of an Italian banking group. We find that customer satisfaction impacts loyalty, which in turn has a direct effect on financial and non-financial customer value/total customer value/complex customer value. Moreover, loyalty is a mediator between financial and not-financial customer value and two sources of customer satisfaction, namely relationships with the front office and the branch, on the one hand, and the products offered, on the other.

a survey of the international operations of Danish companiesWendelboe Hansen, Michael (København, 1996)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: One of the most significant characteristics of recent years economic development is the profound growth in international production by transnational corporations (TNCs). This paper presents the results of a major survey of the involvement of Danish industry in this internationalization process. In particular, the paper focuses on Danish investments in the emerging economies of Eastern Europe and less developed countries (LDCs), an aspect of Danish foreign investment which is highly under-researched. The main findings of the paper is that around 1100 Danish companies are involved in international production, having almost 2900 subsidiaries abroad. 350 of those subsidiaries are located in the emerging economies of LDCs and Eastern Europe. The paper observes that the Danish involvement in emerging economies is significantly below that of other OECD countries, a finding which is linked to the relative dominance of small and medium sized companies in Danish industry. The paper notes that whereas the most important emerging economy destination in the seventies and eighties was Latin America and here in particular Brazil, Danish companies now prefer to invest in Asia and Eastern Europe, Poland being the by far most important emerging economy country. In general, the paper argues that small and medium sized companies play a pivotal role in the internationalization of Danish industry, less so in LDCs, more so in Eastern Europe. The survey also confirms that the Danish investment promotion agency IFU, participating in 40% of all investment projects in LDCs, plays a pivotal role in the expansion of Danish industry into LDCs. Finally, an inquiry among 167 companies with manufacturing activities in LDCs or Eastern Europe reveals that more than 50% of all investment projects in emerging economies are undertaken mainly in order to get access to the emerging economy market. Only 18% of the investment projects are motivated with the more favorable cost conditions - mainly lower salaries - offered by many emerging economies. This finding challenges the widespread belief that Danish investments in LDCs and Eastern Europe will cause a general loss of Danish jobs and productive capacity.

Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as linguistic context is minimal. This paper describes the considerations involved in producing three anechoic recordings of 14 male and 14 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with falling F0 (total of 16380 syllables).

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: Danske børsnoterede virksomheder overgik til internationale regnskabsstandarder pr. 1. januar 2005. Der skal således ikke længere foretages åremålsamortisering af goodwill, der til gengæld afløses af værdiforringelsestest. Såfremt den bogførte værdi af goodwill er større end genindvindingsværdien, skal der ske nedskrivning. Som en konsekvens heraf er resultat af primær drift for virksomheder med goodwill på balancen forbedret. Eksempelvis er Carlsbergs resultat af primær drift forbedret med 976 mio. kr. i 2004 som følge overgang til værdiforringelsestest af goodwill. Implementeringen af IAS 36 (impairment of assets) og IFRS 3 (business combinations) har således haft ganske store regnskabsmæssige konsekvenser for de netop aflagte årsrapporter for 2005. I denne artikel undersøger vi via en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, hvorledes danske børsnoterede virksomheder, der har indregnet goodwill, gennemfører værdiforringelsestest. Vi fokuserer på de tekniske problemstillinger, der er forbundet med værdiforringelsestest. Eksempelvis undersøger vi, hvorledes de børsnoterede virksomheder fastlægger en CGU og hvordan de estimerer kapitalomkostninger og terminalværdien ved fastlæggelse af genindvindingsværdien. Derimod adresserer vi ikke, om de foretagne skøn vurderes rimelige. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6747 Files in this item: 1

resume af resultater fra surveys og dybdeinterviewsKornum, Niels (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Forbrugernes ønsker ikke at ændre deres indkøbsvaner for at handle dagligvarer via nettet, men de, der har prøvet at e-handle er mere positive overfor at handle over nettet og finder det mindre risikofyldt sammenlignet med de, der ikke har prøvet at handle dagligvarer over nettet. Dette betyder, at det er vigtigt at få forbrugerne til at prøve ordningerne f.eks. via tilbud og/eller forskellige medlemsfordele for at motivere dem til at indgå i ordningen. Det viser to nye undersøgelser gennemført af forskere fra Institut for Afsætningsøkonomi, Handelshøjskolen i København i samarbejde med forskere fra Lunds Universitet, Avdelingen for Forpackningslogistik. Undersøgelsen er en del af Ebizz Øresund, der er samfinansieret af det svenske Vinnova og det danske ministerium for Videnskab, Teknologi og Udvikling. Forbrugerne angiver som de to vigtigste fordele ved e-handel, at de dels sparer meget tid, dels at de bliver mindre afhængige af butikkernes åbningstider. De vigtigste ulemper set fra forbrugerside er dels at online handel er mindre spændende end køb i supermarkedet, dels at der er begrænset adgang til at se og føle på varerne før køb i online butikken. Det er dog forbrugere, der ikke har handlet på nettet, der mest markant har denne holdning. Firs procent af forbrugerne ønsker kun at betale et gebyr på maksimalt 60 kr. for at få leveret dagligvarerne til døren og 38 procent ønsker endda kun at betale maksimalt 20 kr.. Èn mulig vej for at få kickstartet e-handel med dagligvarer kunne være at forbrugerne slipper for at betale gebyr, når de køber over et vist beløb, f.eks. 800 kr. pr. køb. Men forbrugerne ønsker gratis levering allerede ved et indkøbsbeløb på 200 - 600 kr. pr. gang. Erfaring med e-handel med dagligvarer forøger ikke forbrugerens vilje til købe stort. De små købsbeløb skyldes sandsynligvis, at mange forbrugere lader sig inspirere i butikken, angående hvilke varer de skal købe til dagens aftensmad, især for frugt & grønt og ferske kødvarer og frisk fisk. De planlægger med andre ord ikke hele deres dagligvareindkøb i forvejen og vil antage ligt være tilbageholdende med at foretage hele deres dagligvareindkøb online. En medvirkende årsag kan dog desuden være, at mange forbrugere ikke har tilstrækkeligt med informationer til at kunne skønne omfanget af de omkostninger, som må bæres af online leverandøren i forbindelse med pakning, distribution mv. af dagligvarerne. Undersøgelsen viser, at et klart og gennemtænkt brand for hele e-handels butikken er vigtigt. Ikke bare en kopi af den eksisterende butikker. Set i dette lys kunne en fremtid for e-handel med dagligvarer være at støtte forbrugernes planlægning af måltiderne, f.eks. faste ugentlige måltidspakker med alle ingredienser vedlagt og med f.eks. én gratis ugentlig levering ved køb over et bestemt beløb. Virksomheden kan beregne sig frem til hvilket max. indkøbsbeløb pr. køb, der skal til, for at den tjener penge på at sælge. Gebyrfri levering af dagligvarer har vist sig vigtig for at få gang i den hendøende e- handel. Hvis forbrugerne ønsker en bedre service, bør det også være muligt, men så skal gebyret kunne dække de faktiske omkostninger ved pakning, levering, administration, m.v.

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......
