A Treatise on Modernity and NegationLarsen, Øjvind (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Modern global society has seen dramatic changes that throw us into impenetrable ethical problems of a kind never before witnessed in history. By this means, ethical problems constitute the locus of our confrontation with our own life situation. It is this condition that I take to be of fundamental importance when one undertakes to reflect upon the meaning of ethics today. If we approach the issue from the point of view of the history of ideas, we find that throughout the whole of the history of philosophy there have been a series of different attempts to articulate an ethics. Most of them address our concerns about how a human being ought to act in order to realise his or her life in the best or most correct way. I will return to the array of suggestions that have been offered in this regard. What is important for my purposes, meanwhile, is that there is some-thing that precedes ethical considerations, namely, the fact that ethics imposes itself upon the indi-vidual as a vital problem, and as one that cannot be escaped.

Abstract: This chapter aims at summarizing the discussion on collaborative networks as discussed in the reviewed literature (see appendix 3.). The question on governance of networks has today assumed a key role as more and more research programs are depending on large scale network collaborations. The criteria for evaluation the optimal organizing of a network can be divided into two important categories, each facing a number of important challenges. Management of network and management in network constitute together the governance system of the network and are of course closely connected but represent simultaneous a very important division of labour in the whole network system. Each type of management has to find solutions to specific challenges raised by the function of the network and its participants. This is what the following pages will describe in more detail.

Abstract: The increasing challenges of globalization call for a more adept utilization of existing knowledge and resources through more efficient and effective collaborations between universities, research organizations and businesses. The aim of this report is to establish the drivers and forms of such integrated networks in the knowledge triangle of education, research and innovation. The empirical context of this project is the field of climate and energy research. This field is in specific need of more efficient collaborative models that can facilitate knowledge sharing and thereby ease the development of new energy technologies. The use of conventional energy sources entails perpetual problems. Oil and other fossil fuels will at some point run out. And increasing CO2 emission is a danger to our climate. We need to think about sustainable alternatives if we are to continue to meet the world’s increasing energy consumption and to stop the dramatic climate changes we are experiencing. And we need to do it with the greatest possible dispatch. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7757 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The present literature review is prepared as a part of the SUCCESS1 project; a pilot project launched by the EIT with the purpose of benchmarking past and ongoing collaborations in the knowledge triangle of research, education and innovation in the European Union. The empirical focus is the field of climate and energy research. This field is in specific need of more efficient collaborative models that can facilitate knowledge sharing and thereby ease the development of new sustainable energy technologies. Still, the present literature review draws on research done on collaboration in various fields; collaborating on innovation, research or educational aims is imperative to many actors struggling to keep pace in a complex, uncertain and dynamic environment. Thus vital empirical experiences and essential theoretical knowledge about the organizational and managerial dimensions of collaboration may be found in various fields of research, inside as well as outside the field of climate and energy research.

Ernø-Kjølhede, Erik (København, 1999)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Research management is a relatively new academic discipline. This paper takes stock of the developments leading to increased focus on the management of research seen from primarily a Danish perspective. It also discusses conditions for research management in a Danish context. Particular emphasis is placed on management in Danish universities as universities are the institutions in which all researchers have been trained and socialised and furthermore home to many of the norms and standards traditionally associated with the scientific community. In conclusion an attempt is made to develop an approach to research management. It is argued that this approach should not exclusively be built on the basis of existing, general (business) management theories. An independent approach must be developed which takes into account the diversity of the scientific community, of the research work and of the management process itself.

Negotiating the EU Internal Market for ProductsHøjbjerg, Erik; Frankel, Christian (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The EU internal market has predominantly been studied in terms of changes in delegation of authority and division of labor between EU institutions and member states. However, this EU internal focus ignores that already in 1987 the completion of the internal market was substantially left to the private European standardization organizations (ESO). The paper addresses two fundamental challenges in this transnational, public-private, and internal-external delegation of authority. First, it involves a governance challenge, because private actors are directly involved – but to a certain extent outside EU political and administrative control – in the constitution of the internal market. Second, the delegation raises important analytical questions concerning the identification of the institutional locus of European integration, when the realization of the political goals with the internal market is dependent on an inter-organizational coordination between the EU and ESO. Applying the analytical concept of a ‘policy field’ the analysis shows how the completion of the internal market fundamentally challenges institutionalized conceptions of the role of politics in constituting markets. Keywords: Internal market, policy field, technical standards, transnationalization, new approach harmonization, private product policy URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6406 Files in this item: 1

Providing Common KnowledgeFoss, Nicolai J.; Kristensen, Tore; Wilke, Ricky (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper draws on ideas in economics and game theory to develop a new theory of marketing and corporate communication in the emerging network economy. We argue that in a network economy, firms and consumers will confront "coordination problems." With the emerging network economy all this become urgent because the availability and cost of information decreases. Also, timing issues becomes crucial as millions of people get access to the same information simultaneously. That explain why events where masses of viewers simultaneously participate in the same events become so important. We introduce a simple game theoretic model to explain this, and discuss marketing applications and possible strategies.

Recognition and Discovery of Investment OpportunitiesVintergaard, Christian (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: From the perspective of Austrian economics, this paper develops a conceptual understanding of how corporate venture managers recognize and discover opportunities in a network environment. In an effort to create a better understanding of who is involved in process, this paper reports on the development path of an entrepreneurial opportunity of the Danish corporate venture capitalist, Danfoss A/S. This paper distinguishes itself from previous research done on entrepreneurial opportunities by creating a holistic and conceptual framework, which broadens and expands the perception of the market participants involved in recognition and discovery. Consequently the paper offers insight to a diversified group of actors who mix and match technological and market capabilities in a constant process of recognition and discovery. Key words: Corporate venturing, entrepreneurship, discovery, networks, opportunities, recognition. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6397 Files in this item: 1

insights from six case studiesMichailova, Snejina; Husted, Kenneth (København, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines knowledge sharing in business environments and cultures that are hostile to knowledge sharing. We focus on knowledge sharing as it relates to individual behavior and management as guiding basically willing individuals. We elaborate the dimensions related to knowledge hoarding, apprehension about failures, and the Not-Invented-Here syndrome by investigating their features in knowledge-sharing hostile environments. Empirically, we explore a context not widely covered by the Western management literature on knowledge sharing: we draw on the examples of six Russian companies, three with and three without Western ownership. In terms of action orientation, we suggest that in knowledge-sharing hostile environments management needs initially to force knowledge sharing in order to transform the hostility into a knowledge embracing culture. We outline concrete guidelines of how to overcome the specific barriers to knowledge sharing.

Interviewet som meningsdannelsela Cour, Anders; Knudsen, Morten; Thygesen, Niels Thyge (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Inden for samfundsvidenskaben ser vi et stigende antal analyser, der trækker på et systemteoretisk iagttagelsesprogram. Problemet er, at disse analyser sjældent gør sig spørgsmålet om dataproduktion klart. Og hvis analyserne anvender interviewmetoden, så udelades refleksioner over interviewet som en særlig erkendelsesstrategi ofte. Artiklen forsøger at udfylde dette tomrum. Først præciseres den videnskabelige iagttagelse med afsæt i den tyske systemteoretiker Niklas Luhmanns iagttagelsesprogram. Dernæst diskuteres den kvalitative interviewmetode mhp. at præcisere, hvilken status interviewet har i systemteoretiske analyser. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6428 Files in this item: 1
