Resume: 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 the linguistic context is minimal. This paper presents three anechoic recordings of 13 male and 13 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with the neutral intonation contour for Danish (in total 15210 syllables). The authors compared and ranked groups of three recordings. These three recording had the same talker and had identical phonetic content. The syllables were ranked according to the general “appropriateness” and consistency, i.e., prototypical production of the consonant-vowel (CV) with respect to applicability in speech perceptual studies. The results were compared to results of an automatic method based on acoustic measures. The two novel ideas are 1) to devise an automated method for evaluating “appropriateness” of CVs and 2) to develop a Danish CV-material annotated with an objective measure of “appropriateness” for each recorded CV. The latter would potentially render more CV’s appropriate for perceptual studies. Moreover, objective evaluation would make it possible to examine any perceptual effects of variability in CV production (for example how susceptible different renderings by the same talker of CV’s are to background noise). To the knowledge of the authors, no such material has yet been published for any language. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8412 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: One of the aims of the Eye-to-IT project (FP6 IST 517590) is to integrate keyboard logging and eye-tracking data to study and anticipate the behaviour of human translators. This so-called User-Activity Data (UAD) would make it possible to empirically ground cognitive models and to validate hypotheses of human processing concepts in the data. In order to thoroughly ground a cognitive model of the user in empirical observation, two conditions must be met as a minimum. All UAD data must be fully synchronised so that data relate to a common construct. Secondly, data must be represented in a queryable form so that large volumes of data can be analysed electronically. Two programs have evolved in the Eye-to-IT project: TRANSLOG is designed to register and replay keyboard logging data, while GWM is a tool to record and replay eye-movement data. This paper reports on an attempt to synchronise and integrate the representations of both software components so that sequences of keyboard and eye-movement data can be retrieved and their interaction studied. The outcome of this effort would be the possibility to correlate eye- and keyboard activities of translators (the user model) with properties of the source and target texts and thus to uncover dependencies in the UAD.

Gylling, Morten; Korzen, Iørn (Agay, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper examines some typological differences in the discourse structure of Italian and Danish. The results of the study indicate that there are significant differences in information packing 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 characteristic of a higher number of finite verbs and topic shifts. The study also suggests that a more fine-grained classification of non-finite and nominalised EDUs is needed for a complete in-depth analysis of discourse constraints in different language families.

A Form of Environmental TurbulenceLangley, David J.; Tan, Chee-Wee; Worm, Daniël; van den Broek, Tijs A. (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The online environment offers a fertile breeding ground for anti-brand herds of disgruntled consumers. Firms are often caught off guard by the unpredictability of such herds and, as a consequence, are forced into a reactive, defensive stance. We conduct a social media analysis that aims to shed light on the formation, growth, and dissolution of online anti-brand herds. First we expand on the concept of environmental turbulence to advance core properties unique to online herd behavior. Next, based on evidence gathered from 40 online anti-brand herd episodes targeting two prominent firms from the Netherlands, we develop an analytical model to investigate drivers of herd formation, growth, and dissolution. Finally, combining environmental turbulence literature with our empirical findings, we derive a novel typology of online anti-brand herd behaviors, and put forward six propositions to guide theory development in this area.

(and Why That Might Be a Good Thing)Hage, Eveline; Tan, Chee-Wee (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Debates on the effects of online communication on distance within organizational networks have persisted within extant literature. Early contributions, which focus primarily on geographical distance, have highlighted the negative impact of distance on network evolution and sustenance, alluding to the importance of online communication as a means of nullifying these effects (Caimcross, 2001; Wellman, 2001). These studies have led to optimistic, but also premature, declarations of the ‘death of distance’ (Caimcross, 2001). More recent works however, have demonstrated that online networks are “to a significant part, digital reflections of pre-existing offline, local networks” (Hage & Noseleit, 2015, p. 4), emphasizing the relevance of distance to network formation. Not only do informal friendship networks have digital counterparts (Hage & Noseleit, 2015), the same can be said for other networks (Takhteyev, Gruzd & Wellman, 2012; Tranos & Nijkamp, 2013), especially that of organizational networks (Recker & Lekse, 2016).

Game piracy activity vs. metacritic scoreDrachen, Anders; Bauer, Kevin; Veitch, Robert W. D. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The practice of illegally copying and distributing digital games is at the heart of one of the most heated and divisive debates in the international games environment, with stakeholders typically viewing it as a very positive (pirates) or very negative (the industry, policy makers). Despite the substantial interest in game piracy, there is very little objective information available about its magnitude or its distribution across game titles and game genres. This paper presents a large-scale analysis of the illegal distribution of digital game titles, which was conducted by monitoring the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol. The sample includes 173 games and a collection period of three months from late 2010 to early 2011. A total of 12.6 million unique peers were identified, making this the largest examination of game piracy via P2P networks to date. The ten most pirated titles encompass 5.27 million aggregated unique peers alone. In addition to genre, review scores were found to be positively correlated with the logarithm of the number of unique peers per game (p<0.05).

Emergent Roles, Rules, Risks & OpportunitiesGozman, Daniel; Hedman, Jonas; Sylvest, Kasper (, 2018)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The phenomenon of financialization has received increasing attention, especially following the global financial crisis. We broaden the scope of research on financialization by investigating Open Banking initiatives. Such initiatives aim to enhance the banks’ ability to personalise cus-tomer experiences. Consumers and businesses can now easily share their data with banks and third parties to manage personal accounts and compare banking services. Such initiatives raise important questions regarding the future role of banks as well challenges and opportunities inherent in the new Open Banking landscape. We empirically investigate five Open Banking initiatives through twenty-five interviews conducted with users of Open Banking APIs as well as those managing the various initiatives. From these interviews, we develop a taxonomy and identify four open banking roles: integrator, producer, distributor, and platform. A further con-tribution is made by identifying related challenges and opportunities faced by fintechs and in-cumbents in the shifting landscape of retail banking. The challenges identified include risk of disintermediation, loss of reputation and transformational failure while the opportunities iden-tified include enhanced service innovation and risk mitigation. Overall, the study provides first insights into how the retail banking industry will adapt to new service innovations and in-creased collaboration with third party fintechs.

In-between organizing at Spira MirabilisPaunova, Minna; Svejenova, Silviya (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Symphonic orchestras—“a mélange of musicians, volunteers, and paid staff whose contributions must be closely coordinated” (Allmendinger, Hackman, & Lehman, 1996: 194)—have been of growing interest for scholars of organization for their creative and collaborative performance through projects and their work under pressure. While their resemblance with bureaucratic and professional service organizations has been acknowledged, they have been found also akin to coordinated internal networks of multiple identities (Glynn, 2000; Karmowska & Child, 2014). However, scholars have depicted orchestras as rather established and hierarchical creative organizations that are bound by conventions and are dedicated to the pursuit of ‘superior performance’, as the opening quote suggests. As a consequence, they have paid less attention to their learning potential. Studies of other kinds of collaborative collectives, such as teams in management and education, have demonstrated interesting tensions between learning and performing (Bunderson & Suttcliffe, 2003; Paunova & Lee, 2016).

A Revision of Hofstede's Theory of Industrialization Supported by Cases from Latin America, Africa and Germany in the 19th centuryKragh, Simon Ulrik (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Drawing on a revised version ofHofstede's theory ofindustrialization and cultural change contained in his explanation of individualism and collectivism, the paper proposes that countries which are in the earlier stages of industrialization have a common culture that governs organizational behaviours. In-group/out-group particularist values that have been handed over from preindustrial society tend to overlay and replace impersonal and universalistic bureaucracies and market exchange typical ofindustrial society. The paper shows how these values shape the culture of organizations in Latin America, Africa and Germany around 1850. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9105 Filer i denne post: 1

Li, Xin (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Just like scholars distinguish two types of firm’s external environment, i.e., competitive and institutional, we make a distinction between two types of firm’s internal environment, i.e., resources and organization. Based on this distinction, we propose an organization-based view of strategy (OBV), not only as a label to unite various organization-related issues within the strategy field, but also as a fourth research paradigm to supplement to three existing paradigms, i.e., industry- or competition-based view (CBV), resource-based view (RBV), and institution-based view (IBV). Bringing the four paradigms together, we transform Mike Peng’s ‘strategy tripod’ into a ‘strategy quadrapod’. By proposing an organization-resource-institution-competition (ORIC) analysis and a situation-action-performance (SAP) framework, we attempt to make a grand integration of the strategy field.

The Case of Copenhagen Business SchoolStenvinkel Nilsson, Ole (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Program QA at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) faces two major challenges; (1) large number of different programs, and (2) decentralized organisation of the program area. CBS has more than 60 programs in the portfolio, each managed by an autonomous Study Board. The paper demonstrates how CBS has addressed these challenges in a quality policy based on two main elements. Standards and Guidelines for day to day quality operations are combined with recurrent 5 year cycle peer reviews of every program. It is demonstrated how optimal use of existing information from various sources can be combined to provide a parsimonious picture of program performance, without putting too much burden on program managers. Both external and internal peer reviewers are used in order to create dialogue, mutual inspiration, increased alignment across programs, and balance between formative development and summative assessment. Early experiences with implementation of the QA system are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8517 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: Overt VP anaphors like do so, do it and do the same can host a following PP (Culicover & Jackendoff (2005:285–6), Huddleston & Pullum (2002:1533), Miller (2011:5–6), Sobin (2008:150, 155–157)): (1) The House is set to take up the final version of the funding bill tomorrow. The Senate will do the same on Thursday. [COCA] (2) You have jilted two previous fiances and I expect you would do the same to me. [COCA] Using (1) to fix terminology, the ANAPHOR is do the same, the ANTECEDENT is take up the final version of the funding bill, the ORPHAN is on Tuesday, and the CORRELATE is tomorrow. Examples like (2) are of particular interest because the correlate (two previous fiances) is inside the antecedent and, consequently, the orphan and the antecedent must interact to produce the interpretation of the clause containing the anaphor. In order to arrive at the interpretation ‘you would jilt me’, the me of the orphan must take the place of two previous fiances inside the antecedent VP. A superficially similar situation arises with remnants of ellipsis, including pseudogapping (3), sluicing (4), and fragment answers (5). In each case, the interpretation of the ellipsis clause combines part of the antecedent with all or part of the remnant. (3) I wouldn’t say that to my mother, but I would to you. (4) I know he gave the dresser away, but I don’t know to who. (5) Q: Who did he give the dresser to? A: To me. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8469 Filer i denne post: 1

Industry Involvment in the Development of Energy RegulationsGeorg, Susse; Garza de Linde, Gabriela; Schweber, Libby; Sexton, Martin (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The 2002 European Union (EU) directive on the energy performance of buildings (Directive 2002/91/EC) set minimum standards on the energy performance of new buildings and existing buildings. It also indicated that these would be subject to periodic renovation. In some countries the directive supported policymakers in their bid for national commitments to carbon reduction. In others, it affirmed existing commitments. In most countries, it informed the ongoing reformulation of building regulations. This paper explores energy related developments in building regulations for new housing in Denmark (DK) and the United Kingdom (UK). The interest of the comparison lies in similarities in the type of changes introduced into the regulations and differences in industry responses.

An EU Procurement Law PerspectiveTvarnø, Christina D. (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This memo concerns the new public procurement directive adopted by the EU in 2014. The new directive, in many ways, acknowledges P3 as a significant instrument in both the public and the private sector, especially in comparison to the 2004 public procurement directive on works. In the last 10 years, P3 has been governed by restrictive rules on anti-corruption, transparency, equality and competition, based on a principle on non-negotiation.

The case of video production at the BBC Digital Media InitiativeMariategui, Jose-Carlos; Marton, Attila (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The unfolding of the paradoxical interplay between overarching institutional orders and domain-specific, situated practices has been a central theme of organization studies. With the rise of information and communication technology (ICT), digital infrastructures and the standards they foster are disseminating on a global scale based on the computational rationale of binary-based digitalization. The following paper will delve into this paradoxical interplay by studying digital video as it travels across work practices of broadcasting qua computational standards and processes. Using BBC’s Digital Media Initiative (DMI) as a case study, we seek to assess how work practices are affected by the use of digital video throughout the editing process. In particular, we take a semiological approach in order to understand two distinctive image-intensive practices, news and long-form productions, and the ways they changed due to the implementation of a digital infrastructure. Thus conceived, we demonstrate how digitalization as a technical process decontextualizes digital video information, while the work practices related to their management rely on highly contextualized and situated information.

[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper discusses partnering contracts in Denmark and Great Britain, analyses the legal content and applies game theory and the prisoner’s dilemma game on some of the legal clauses and objectives. The paper defines partnering contracts as alternative social contracts relevant when forming a strategic alliance or another long-term relationship with a certain degree of specificity and frequency. It is not the aim of partnering contracts to replace the traditional contracts. The paper focuses on partnering in the construction industry and compares the clauses in both Danish and British partnering contracts. Based on the analysis, the paper sets up a scientific definition regarding the aim of partnering contracts and shows that economic theory can explain the legal clauses in the partnering contract, and the partnering contract can solve inefficiency in the Nash Equilibrium in the prisoner’s dilemma game. The partnering contract makes it possible to obtain the benefit from joint utility and the paper proposes some legal improvements in this regard.

Process Models and Advanced Services Offshoring to IndiaØrberg Jensen, Peter D. (, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper addresses a recent strand of offshoring research that concerns the processes of evolution and change that appear in offshoring partnerships after the launch of offshoring operations. Based on longitudinal case studies of offshoring of advanced IT and engineering services from Danish firms to Indian firms, I identify a process model with three stages that captures the evolution of the initial 1-2 years of the offshoring partnership. Overall, the data portray a rapid development of the Danish-Indian offshoring partnerships which show that once trust is established and offshoring firms gain experience, the offshoring firms will increase the sophistication as well as expand the range and volume of advanced work done offshore. The dynamics of the process therefore suggest that at a broader scale, advanced services offshoring will increase in the coming years. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8946 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: With care of writing as a method of inquiry, this paper engages in academic writing such as responsible knowledge development drawing on emotion, thought and reason. The aim of the paper is to better understand emancipatory knowledge development. Bodily experiences and responses shape academic writing and there are possibilities for responsible academic writing in that iterative process. I propose that academic writing can be seen as possibilities of passionate as well as passive writing. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9342 Filer i denne post: 1

Assessing network structures within container shipping industryProckl, Günter; Kotzab, Herbert; Kinra, Aseem (frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Purpose - Container shipping, due to its boundary crossing nature, is generally seen as an international business. A first look into the physical networks of the industry has shown that container-shipping companies operate however rather differently, with different motives for internationalization, and infact show different patterns to their international development. However, there are other important transactional and market-oriented considerations, and overall dynamics that need to be examined before concluding on the internationalization levels of container shipping companies, and the industry. The purpose of this paper is to further investigate the patterns of internationalisation by the examination of the more demand-oriented considerations. Design/methodology/approach - In order to answer the research question, the paper focusses on the examination of the front-end activities and structures like sales office networks and the overall extent of market presence. For this the fundamental sales networks of the companies were considered as a key indicator, and the port networks of the 20 largest container-shipping companies in the world (by TEU capacity) were analyzed. Findings - The resulting data set allows an examination on each company’s overall network at various geographic levels, and a direct comparison of the networks of the companies. It shows that not all shipping companies are highly international. It also shows that market share and total capacity are not necessarily a good indicator for the worldwide presence of a company. Research limitations/implications (if applicable) - The paper adds yet another piece to the interesting puzzle on internationalization patterns of container shipping companies. However, for a complete picture on the internationalization process further work will be required that is based e.g. on the development pattern of single companies and that may also take more the dynamic aspects and comparisons into account. Practical implications - Preceeding work provides insights that are directed towards the port networks and thus toward the more back office oriented resource architecture and the more geographical aspect of physical coverage. By reorganising the focus on the sales network of the single container shipping companies, this paper presents findings that are also applicable to the front end, towards the customer, The comparison of both views is promising interesting insights such as ownership structures and entry modes along with the specific location commitment as a basis for strategic considerations. Originality/value – In the academic literature there is not much to find on the internationalization process and the dominating internationalisation patterns related to container shipping. The paper makes an important contribution in this regard by considering the different aspects of the international shipping networks and by bringing these closer to extant frameworks on internationalization.
