- It is common practice in organizational research to restrict the concept of organization to formal organizations, and to describe the world outside these entities by such other concepts as institutions or networks. It is argued in this article that the concept of organization can be fruitfully broadened to include some aspects of the order that exists outside and among organizations. A broader concept includes not only complete, formal organization, but also 'partial organization'. Both types of organization are based on decisions, but whereas complete organizations have access to all elements of organization, partial organization is based on only one or a few of these elements. Like complete organization, partial organization is a common phenomenon that not least characterizes much of the contemporary global order. The authors discuss how partial organization arises, how and why institutions and networks sometimes become organized, and the consequences of organization for change, transparency and accountability.

The Reproduction of Efficiecy Theory : The Construction of the AstraZeneca Merger in the Public Discourse

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Mergers have become a generally accepted solution to a broad set of managerial problems in practice. However, research on mergers and acquisitions provides a rather sceptical view as to the success of mergers in solving business problems. The current paper aims at investigating the public discourse on mergers and acquisitions and its relation to the scientific discourse. The public discourse is studied by an analysis of Swedish media reports on the Astra Zeneca merger. More specifically we study the actors given voice in the discourse, the temporal evolution of the discourse and the arguments voiced. We conclude that the discourse is dominated by journalists, managers and financial analysts who all generate arguments based on a rather narrow “efficiency theoretical” basis. This is in conflict with current insights in research on mergers and acquisitions that has proposed more valid and complex models for understanding mergers. The reasons and consequences of this discrepancy between the public and the scientific discourses are discussed.

When Does Communication Improve Coordination?

- We study costless pre-play communication of intentions among inexperienced players. Using the level-k model of strategic thinking to describe players' beliefs, we fully characterize the effects of preplay communication in symmetric 2 x 2 games. One-way communication weakly increases coordination on Nash equilibrium outcomes, although average payoffs sometimes decrease. Two-way communication further improves payoffs in some games but is detrimental in others. Moving beyond the class of symmetric 2 x 2 games, we find that communication facilitates coordination in common interest games with positive spillovers and strategic complementarities, but there are also games in which any type of communication hampers coordination.

Inequality Trends in Sweden 1978-2004

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We document a clear increase in Swedish earnings inequality in the early 1990s, andthat much of this increase was generated by movements in and out of the labor market.Inequality in disposable income and earnings net of taxes and transfers also increased,but much less than the increased inequality in pre-government earnings. These di¤er-ent developments are most likely explained by the generous Swedish welfare system.Consistent with these observations, we see no clear trend in consumption inequality.We also estimate stochastic processes for household earnings. A simple random-walkprocess captures much of the life-cycle dynamics. But we .nd clear evidence that thetrue earnings process is not a random walk. We demonstrate that some estimationmethods result in severe upward bias in the estimated volatility of permanent shocksif serial correlation in temporary shocks is ignored.Our estimation results show that the increase in earnings inequality is almost entirelydriven by an increase in residualearnings inequality. Moreover, this increase wasmostly generated by an increased volatility of persistent shocks.

Företagsansvar - CSR som managementidé
- 2011. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- CSR, företags sociala ansvarstagande, har blivit ett populärt koncept i företagsvärlden. Denna bok behandlar CSR som en managementidé, det vill säga som ett redskap för verksamhetsstyrning. Boken visar att CSR har mycket gemensamt med andra populära managementidéer – lean production, total quality management, just-in-time, business process reenginering och six sigma, för att nämna några. Men det finns också väsentliga skillnader. I boken redogörs för hur CSR uppkommer och sprids i företagets omvärld, men även för vad som händer när CSR når företagsledningar, implementeras och används i den dagliga verksamheten. Författarna visar att två grundläggande värden för allt företagande – legitimitet och effektivitet – är lämpliga för att analysera hur CSR påverkar företag, samt hur CSR liknar och skiljer sig från andra populära managementidéer.
