Beyond Borders : Essays on Entrepreneurship, Co-operatives and Education in Sweden and Tanzania
- 2021. - 1
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The two topics highlighted in this volume, entrepreneurship and co-operatives, and education within these fields, may be regarded as essentially disparate themes. However, looking more closely it is apparent that these have some interesting intersections. The main focus relates to innovation and entrepreneurship among co-operatives, the public sector, and the private sectorThis work is a product of the collaboration between Södertörn University in Stockholm, Sweden, and Moshi Co-operative University in Moshi, Tanzania. In both countries we aim to understand, how enterprises with different ownership forms and other kinds of state and private organizations contribute to economic growth or decline. The volume is an overview of research about entrepreneurship and co-operatives but also of education in these areas. The intention is to contribute to the promotion of research on these topics in both countries and enhance future collaboration between the two Universities.

En analys av tillförlitlighet hos arbetsvärderingsmetoder
- 2007
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Resultatet av en arbetsvärdering är att varje arbete tillordnas en viktad summa av poäng. Poängsumman kan tolkas som ett mått på en sammantagen värdering av krav och svårigheter som förknippas med arbetenas utförande. Måttet används för att bedöma vilka arbeten som är likvärdiga. En viktig fråga är i vilken mån detta mått utgör en tillförlitlig grund för att bedöma vilka arbeten som är likvärdiga. I arbetsvärderingssystemet Analys Lönelots, som rekommenderas av JämO, finns ett förslag på hur måttet kan användas på ett tillförlitligt sätt. I uppsatsen visas att förslaget har uppenbara brister. Vidare visas att problemet med tillförlitlighet hos måttet kan överföras på problemet med tillförlitlighet av precist angivna vikter och skalor, som avser att representera en beslutsfattares värderingar av relevanta egenskaper hos arbeten. Det finns uppenbara skäl att betvivla att en beslutsfattare kan motivera sådana precisa värderingar som följer av en precist angiven numerisk representation. I uppsatsen presenteras också ett alternativt sätt att numeriskt representera en beslutsfattares värderingar av arbeten. Denna typ av numeriska representation kan beakta att värderingar av arbeten är osäkra.

Knowledge, Information and Intellectual Property : implications for marketing relationships
- 2001
-
In: Technovation. - 0166-4972 .- 1879-2383. ; 21:8, s. 515-524
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Knowledge and information have become an essential asset determining the profitability of technology-intensive enterprises. In knowledge-based industries, knowledge and information can be marketed to potential partners or clients separately from the products and services that are based on the application of specific knowledge. In the new, global computer-intensive economy, the knowledge base of the economy can determine the approval of an enterprise as a producer of future solutions. This means that it is crucial that enterprises identify and develop their knowledge base, not least in their market relationships. Knowledge emerges in network relationships between an enterprise and its surrounding organisations, and can be legally protected as intellectual property (IP). A clearer notion of the way IP can be analysed may improve the economic outcome of investments in innovation. Relationship marketing clearly has a role in the marketing of technological innovation and product development. A high-tech enterprise faces several decisions influencing its position in the market when developing its knowledge base. Key decisions determining the relationships established in a knowledge-intensive market include (i) make or buy decisions; (ii) organisational association or isolation; (iii) the innovation or adaptation of new technology; (iv) the protection or exploitation of knowledge; (v) public or private research funding; (vi) safeguarding or sharing of IP; and (vii) pioneering advantages or disadvantages.

The Latvian Market Constructed : approaches towards independence, consumerism, symbolic leadership and market planning
- 2006
-
In: Baltic Journal of Management. - : Emerald. - 1746-5265 .- 1746-5273. ; 1:1, s. 67-81
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – To identify essential building-blocks in the construction of the Latvian market after the Latvian transition to a market economy.Design/methodology/approach – The research uses a social constructivist approach to deconstruct the Latvian experience of economic change. The Latvian market is viewed as socially constructed, and essential events in the economic transition and national independence are viewed as essential to the interpretation of the Latvian experience of inclusion in the global economy.Research limitations/implications – The research is limited to Latvia, but is portrayed against the change taking place in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States in particular.Practical implications – The practical implications of this research are many, and could be taken into consideration not least by enterprises investing in the Latvian economy.Originality/value – The value of the paper lies in the interpretations of the broader context of the Latvian market and some of the conditions in which enterprises are managed. The Latvian experience of transition is a background for reaching a better understanding of Latvian society.
