The Role of the Foodprocessing IndustryJeppesen, Søren; Hampwaye, Godfrey; Phiri, Douglas (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Food processing is important to the Zambian economy and entails a set of options for local firms to grow and create employment given the growth potential the country possesses in agriculture. This policy brief summarizes the findings of a study of 38 Zambian owned firms in the food processing industry. The study, which is the first of its kind in Zambia, reveals that a major part of the interviewed firms find that they have performed above industry average the last five years. A minor part states performance below industry average. Close to 80% of the firms views government and business associations to provide insufficient support to the sector. In conclusion, various ways forward are suggested. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9112 Files in this item: 1

Participation and Distribution Decisions in Japan's Industrial Relations System after World War II - Evidence of Conversion and Workplace EvangelizationTackney, Charles T. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, and even more in presentation, I will be going out rather far out on the limb of my training in industrial relations. Such is, perhaps, the intent of the collaborative process envisioned by Lonergan, no less than the theme of this conference. It will be evident from my referencing specializations far from my field, along with the shaky tone of voice, that the limb is beginning to bend and, perhaps, may be about to give way. If the participants could offer a turning word that will aid this investigation, I would be grateful. This paper takes the form of an extended essay. We begin with a very simple and specific policy proposal for the current U.S. economic crisis, which I offer from my studies in industrial relations. Thereafter, as the section headings suggest, we will venture far afield. The distance travelled is necessary due to the topic, the nations, and the cultures involved. My aim is, first, to shed light upon one particular set of decisions taken in Japan, in the immediate aftermath of the Pacific War, and how these effected industrial relations developments thereafter. Second, and on a different level of analysis, I will present evidence that singular collaboration took place in Japanese history, at a specific point in time, that certainly appears to anticipate the notion of cosmopolis as Lonergan describes this utopian scheme. Third, I will end with brief points of possible further interest to Lonergan scholars. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7919 Files in this item: 1

Undergraduate Synopsis-based Oral Examinations at a Scandinavian Business SchoolTackney, Charles T.; Strömgren, Ole; Sato, Toyoko (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We report a local or regional undergraduate examination form – the synopsis-based oral examination (S-BOE), as it is deployed in both large and small international management education programs at a Scandinavian business school. The S-BOE format is designed to assess student cognitive achievement in light of specified learning objectives through a focused presentation and dialogue involving an examiner and qualified censor, the latter being formally present to ensure process fairness for both examiner and student. It affords the examiner and censor the opportunity to explore student cognitive skills over the known range: unistructural > multistructural > relational > extended abstract (Biggs, J. 1999). Individuals as well as student project groups may be assessed using this approach. Administrative costs do not significantly exceed that of other course assessment formats: written reports or in-class group examinations. There are also interesting learning efficiencies; practitioner experience, reflection, and dialogue with students suggest that all students experience this examination format as a learning experience in itself, over a range of course-related knowledge issues and interpersonal skilling. Exemplary students manifest “dramatic knowledge” in those instances when they creatively display a comprehensive, reflective, and reflexive understanding of course material in presentation and subsequent intersubjective dialogue. The authors discuss important features of this undergraduate examination format that remain largely overlooked and under-appreciated in terms that regionally and locally contextualize international accreditation standards and process. At a time when economic, efficiency, and standardization concerns increasingly pressure educational institutions to adopt testing methods that are psychologically “distant” in respect to the instructor-student relationship, the synopsis-based oral examination is an interesting alternative suitable for small as well as large academic programs.

The European Undergraduate Research-Oriented Participatory Education (EU-ROPE) At Copenhagen Business SchoolTackney, Charles T.; Strömgren, Ole; Sato, Toyoko (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: While the knowledge management literature has addressed the explicit and tacit skills needed for successful performance in the modern enterprise, little attention has been paid to date in this particular literature as to how these wide-ranging skills may be suitably acquired during the course of an undergraduate business school education. This paper presents case analysis of the research-oriented participatory education curriculum developed at Copenhagen Business School because it appears uniquely suited, by a curious mix of Danish education tradition and deliberate innovation, to offer an educational experience more empowering of essential tacit knowledge skills than that found in educational institutions in other national settings. We specify the program forms and procedures for consensus-based governance and group work (as benchmarks) that demonstrably instruct undergraduates in the tacit skill dimensions of knowledge thought to be essential for success following graduation.

Ooi, Can-Seng (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Societal changes are seldom discussed in the literature on city branding. The time element is important because it highlights the fluctuating reality of society. The city brand message freezes the place but in fact, the city branding exercise is a continuous process. Society emerges too. City brands are supposed to accentuate the uniqueness of the city, be built from the bottom-up and reflect the city’s identity. This paper highlights three paradoxes, pointing out that city branding processes can also make cities more alike, bring about societal changes and forge new city identities. A city branding campaign does not just present the city, it may change the city. The relationships between the branding exercise and the city are intertwined in the evolution of the place.

Abstract: On a rainy day in September 2014, Janus Skøt, Senior Director of Arla Foods Latin America and the Caribbean (LATAM), looked out the window of his office in Mexico City. From his location on the 10th floor, Janus viewed the massive city and thought, “It is breath-taking to look out over Mexico City, a metropolis with 25 million inhabitants” (Skøt, 2014a). The view reminded him of his firm’s position, and he thought “we look at millions of potential consumers representing great potential for Arla Foods. Our firm targets major cities, such as Mexico City, for their size and economic growth” (Skøt, 2014a). In 2014, Arla Foods had processed approximately 13 billion litres of milk. Another billion litres were expected to enter Arla Foods’ production system in the upcoming year as an immediate consequence of the European Union's abolishment of the milk quota in April 2015 (see Exhibit 1). With this in mind, Janus thought to himself “Arla Foods has as much milk in its supply system as the entire country of Mexico” (Skøt, 2014b). Janus was attempting to determine how Arla Foods could build a competitive advantage in Latin American countries given their milk deficits and growing middle class. Arla Foods had a diverse portfolio of high-quality dairy products (see Exhibit 2), and over the course of several years, it had developed a strategy for LATAM based on cooperation with local partners, such as dealers and distributors, aimed at integrating its products into local retail chains (i.e., supermarkets). End consumers of dairy products in Latin America and the Caribbean had different levels of purchasing power that affected their purchasing decisions. Therefore, Janus carefully considered how Arla Foods could develop a strategy to reach consumers across all income segments, not only in Mexico but also in the 20 countries and 10 territories found in the LATAM region.

Abstract: Wenn sich alljährlich Ende Juni mehr als 100.000 Menschen beim Roskilde Festival versammeln, dann ist das Gelingen dieses achttägigen Rock- und Popmusikfestivals auch einer großen Zahl Freiwilliger zu verdanken. „Keine Freiwilligen. Kein Roskilde Festival.“ so das offizielle Statement1. Denn ohne das Engagement der rund 30.000 Freiwilligen liessen sich die Logistik auf den Parkplätzen und im Campingbereich, der Verkauf von Getränken und Lebensmitteln oder auch das Einsammeln von Abfall kaum organisieren. Für ihren Einsatz erhalten die Freiwilligen kostenlose Essensverpflegung sowie den Zugang zum Festivalgelände und damit die Möglichkeit einige der über 150 Konzerte mitzuerleben. Letzteres mag für die meisten Freiwilligen die größte Motivation, sich zu engagieren - auch wenn es von offizieller Seite heißt, dass das Gefühl von sozialer Gemeinschaft der stärkste Ansporn sei.

Hybrid States and the Public-Private DistinctionLeander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The chimerical state is not only a hybrid state. It is also a state of obscure powers. As the classical chimera, much of its strength comes precisely from the fact that it hard to see and hence to investigate and critique. The paper traces the origins of this difficulty to the role the public-private divide plays in hiding chimerical power. It does so with reference specifically to the security area.

An experimental approachTsakarestou, Betty; Pogner, Karl-Heinz (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The core principle of co-creation is engaging people to create valuable experiences together while enhancing network economics (Ramaswamy & Gouillart 2010). A central element of the transition to co-creation is the ability to develop and manage effective two-way communications and information systems (Leavy 2011). The power of co-creation is applicable anywhere along the value chain and to any type of industry (Leavy 2011). Co-creation can apply to any business, large or small whose customers have experiences and interactions. Moreover, customer engagement can take many forms, from face-to-face meetings involving a handful of people to web-enabled, large-scale social interactions involving many thousands (Leavy 2011, Ramaswamy & Gouillart 2010). We are interested in expanding these concepts to all parts of society (e.g. the triangle market, (welfare) state, and civil society). Finding solutions to address societies’ challenges remains a concern for governments, cities, businesses and social innovators. These solutions emerge out of changes in technologies, advancement of knowledge as well as of the emerging model of the collaborative and sharing economy and networked peer local and global communities. This paper presents the outcomes of the Athens Co-Creation Workshop 2012) a collaborative initiative of two universities: the Panteion University; Athens and the Copenhagen Business School / Co-Creation of Experienced-Based Innovation Consortium (CCEBI); Copenhagen. Our main question is: How can co-creation and experience-based learning and innovation in Living Labs, across diverse sectors, organizations, institutions, companies and startups, help cities becoming platforms that facilitate networking, collaboration and innovation? Our main challenge is to explore such an opportunity regarding the city of Athens. Creating a human ecosystem reflecting all powers and involved stakeholders in such an endeavor, the workshop organizers and participants, following a co-creation and design thinking methodology, formed “ad-hoc” networks of reflective practitioners and researchers, experimenting with responding to the challenges set by the participants (the challenge “owners”). The paper presents the outcomes of applying co-creation and design thinking to solving the challenges presented by the Impact Hub Athens, a global social business incubator and co-working space that was testing its concept and business model as it was preparing its local launch in Athens; by working with challenges of branding Athens and using storytelling about Athens, and by testing the launch of the corporate university lab of Korres, a Greek skincare brand that has scaled up internationally. Given the different approaches to the notion of the co-creation of experience, we discuss the results of those co-creation sessions in terms of (a) the methodology applied, the participants’ experience of collaboratively solving a problem connected with a solution-space, (c) the lessons learned from the cases about emerging into a shared language, discourse, and action around the concept, and (d) the potential of co-creating on the basis of experienced-based learning and of innovating as a model for sustainable cities (and markets).

Out of The Melting Pot Into The FireHockerts, Kai; Morsing, Mette; Petri Petersen, Martin (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Over the past two and a half decades Claus Meyer, one of Denmark’s most innovative serial entrepreneurs, had built a group of businesses which covered diverse sectors and industries all related to food craftsmanship. The story of his bakeries, delis, restaurants, vinegar production, canteens, as well as a hotel and a fruit plantation was driven by his mission to improve Danish food culture. Crucial stepping stones in this endeavour had been his launching of the Meyer TV series about cooking, the Nordic Food Movement and Restaurant Noma’s world best restaurant status. Most recently, Claus Meyer had been invited to start up a 1200 m2 large deli and restaurant at the iconic Vanderbuilt Hall at Grand Central Station in New York.

Leander, Anna (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This entry gives an overview of the debate about private security. It can not pretend to cover everything in equal detail. It is geared to highlight the parts of the discussion about commercial security practices that are of most immediate interest to New Security Studies. Very succinctly put, the entry shows the pertinence of the emerging research agenda where commercial security practices are part of a broader analysis of evolving insecurities, of (in)security spaces and of everyday practices, insisting on the scope for further developments with regard to these issues (section 2). The entry also suggests that the although the more conventional literature on the subject—mostly framed in terms of privatization—has made valuable contributions to the debates about commercial security, it has limited analytical clout for analyzing the politics of commercial security. Worse it sometimes obscures it (section 1). It is therefore not surprising that commercialization is currently tending to replace privatization as the vantage point from which analysis is taking place.
