  • I en värld av risker : EKN 1933-2010
  • 2010. - 1
  • swepub:Mat_book_t (swepub:level_scientificother_t)abstract
    • Människan har i alla tider värderat och garderat sig mot risker. Staten har också engagerat sig på riskmarknaden, vilket haft stor betydelse inte minst under finansiella kriser. Under 1930-talets depression bildades myndigheten Exportkreditnämnden (EKN) som en garant vid exportaffärer. Vi får i boken följa det historiska skeende som leder fram till dagens EKN. Denna resa har gått genom skiftande konjunkturer och marknadsförutsättningar, och inneburit ständigt nya krav från både stater och exportföretag. Boken avslutas med fallstudier som belyser samarbetet mellan EKN, banker och några av Sveriges exportföretag.

  • Styrelsens ansvar för den interna kontrollen
  • 2011
  • swepub:Mat_licentiatethesis_t (swepub:level_scientificother_t)abstract
    • Intern kontroll fick ökad uppmärksamhet i svenskt näringsliv i och med att en svensk kod för bolagsstyrning (Koden) gavs ut 2004. Att övervaka och bedöma den interna kontrollen är ett komplext och omfattande ansvar som är svårt att överblicka för en enskild styrelseledamot.Viss forskning har bedrivits under 2000-talet inom bolagsstyrning och intern kontroll. Revisionsutskottets möjlighet att säkerställa den interna kontrollen och minska riskerna för felaktigheter i den finansiella rapporteringen har bl.a. studerats. När arbetet med den här avhandlingen påbörjades fanns i huvudsak endast forskning som baserade sig på andra länders regelsystem. Svensk bolagsstyrning har till stora delar påverkats av regelsystemen i de anglosaxiska länderna, men vissa förhållanden är specifika för bolag som är noterade på svenska börser. Det är därför angeläget att studera bolagsstyrning och intern kontroll från ett svensktperspektiv.I avhandling ges en genomgång av Koden och dess formulering av styrelsens ansvar för intern kontroll. Syftet är att undersöka hur tydligt styrelsens ansvar har formulerats i Kodens regelverk samt vilka förutsättningar styrelsen har att följa reglerna. En empirisk studie genomfördes under 2007–2008, då ett 80-tal svenska börsföretag var berörda av Koden. I studien intervjuas tio styrelseledamöter om hur de upplever sitt ansvar för företagets interna kontroll och sin roll gentemot övriga bolagsorgan, dvs. ägarna, företagsledningen och revisorerna. Som ett komplement till intervjuerna analyseras 2007 års internkontrollrapporter för de företag där styrelseledamöterna varit verksamma.När Koden gavs ut hade vare sig regelsättarna eller svenska styrelseledamöter en tydlig bild över innebörden och nyttan av intern kontroll. Tidigare studier om bolagsstyrning visar att det tar tid innan förändringar får genomslag. Även denna studie visar att förändringar sker successivt. I de företag som analyserats pågår ett arbete som syftar till att förbättra den interna kontrollen. För att nå framgång i arbetet har styrelseledamöterna anammat ett pragmatiskt synsätt på sitt ansvar, som till stor del innebär att de förlitar sig på samarbete med företagsledningen. I stället för att utöva strikt kontroll och övervakning, söker styrelseledamöterna skapa en effektiv företagskultur där de  tillsammans med företagsledningen strävar efter en god intern kontroll i bolaget.I likhet med tidigare forskningsresultat visar denna studie att kravet på revisionsutskott medfört att kontakterna mellan styrelsen och revisorerna har underlättats. Mötena i revisionsutskottet ger styrelsen en möjlighet att fördjupa sig i frågor om intern kontroll och finansiell rapportering. Dock saknas mer handfasta riktlinjer om vad revisorernas rapportering på utskottsmötena bör innehålla. Det finns en risk för ett förväntningsgap mellan styrelseledamöterna och revisorerna beträffande rapporteringens innehåll, och på vilket sätt den bör kommuniceras.Studien visar att internkontrollrapporteringen vid de undersökta företagen är alltför generell för att läsaren ska kunna få en uppfattning om företagets riskhanteringsprocess och kontrollåtgärder. Genom att komplettera Kodens Vägledning med förtydligande och metodbeskrivningar för riskbedömning skulle rapporteringen kunna göras mer informativ.Vidare visar studien att Kodens otydliga definition av internrevision återspeglas i styrelseledamöternas uppfattning om internrevisionens roll i internkontrollfrågor. Vare sig Koden eller Kodens vägledning beskriver internrevisionens roll och ansvar eller hur den kan bidra till att ge styrelsen ökad kunskap om bolagets interna kontrollstruktur.Kodens regler baseras på självreglering, vilket möjliggör för styrelsen att frångå reglerna och i stället ge en förklaring till varför dessa inte följs. Det ställs därför krav på att aktörer, såsom investerare, regelsättare och medier, intresserar sig för den information som lämnas eller inte lämnas, i styrelsens internkontrollrapportering. Om ingen efterfrågar informationen eller ställer krav på innehållet kommer intresset att minska, och företagens brist på god intern kontroll kommer endast att få fokus i samband med företagsskandaler.

  • Managing industrial service offerings in global business markets
  • 2011
  • record:In_t: Journal of business & industrial marketing. - : Emerald. - 0885-8624 .- 2052-1189. ; 26:3, s. 181-192
  • swepub:Mat_article_t (swepub:level_refereed_t)abstract
    • Purpose – Despite the increased focus on industrial services in manufacturing companies, little research to date has focused on understanding the roles of local and central organizations in global service management. In order to address this research gap, the paper investigates how industrial service offerings are developed and managed in multinational manufacturing companies.Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative case study with respondents from two internationally leading manufacturers was conducted. Eight industrial service offerings with different characteristics serve as units of analysis.Findings – A broad portfolio of industrial service offerings implies having a very wide range of skill sets, including both global efficiency and local responsiveness. With specialized and extensive offerings, it becomes more important to have a high level of central-local and product-service integration and to internalize service provision. Furthermore, with global customers, the central service organization needs to assume a more prominent role, initiating both an organizational exploitation of current service capabilities and the exploration of new ones.Research limitations/implications – The main focus was on service offerings performed by high-volume manufacturing companies operating primarily in developed markets.Originality/value – Previous studies of industrial service management in manufacturing companies have not explicitly considered the roles of central and local organizations. Thus, the authors were able to complement the existing theory. The paper promotes a deeper understanding of the complexity of managing service offerings on a global basis.

  • Building a new supply chain position : an exploratory study of companies in the timber-housing industry
  • 2010
  • record:In_t: Construction Management and Economics. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0144-6193 .- 1466-433X. ; 28:10, s. 1071-1083
  • swepub:Mat_article_t (swepub:level_refereed_t)abstract
    • In this paper, we explore challenges in implementing innovations that require that companies establish new positions in a construction supply chain. Based on three in-depth case studies in the Swedish wood-working industry, it is concluded that different challenges arise depending on how the company establishes the new position (through organic growth, collaboration or acquisition), and whether the company moves backwards or forwards in the supply chain. Challenges are path-dependent on previous competencies and relationships, where technology-oriented companies have customer-related difficulties, and market-oriented companies’ challenges mainly arise out of technological solutions. Further challenges appear in establishing new relationships at new positions, and emerge from norms and understandings in established structures. We also elaborate on how managers may approach similar kinds of innovations, and build a new supply chain position in any context.

  • Management accounting in a learning environment
  • 2010
  • record:In_t: Journal of Accouting & Organizational Change. - Yorks, UK : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1832-5912 .- 1839-5473. ; 6:1, s. 123-148
  • swepub:Mat_article_t (swepub:level_refereed_t)abstract
    • Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to report on the findings of a study designed to understand how management accounting changes when an organization evolves in a more network-oriented direction, informed by an experiential or integrated approach to learning. Design/methodology/approach – This paper draws on a longitudinal case study initiated by the findings from a previous action research study at a manufacturing plant, the Volvo Floby factory. Findings - By introducing and elaborating on the concept of Local Management Accounting System (LMAS), this paper contributes to the debate about how management accounting reacts to new organizational forms and technologies. Two types of management accounting information are identified: one corresponds to the accountability aspect of accounting – Type 1 information, while Type 2 information refers to problem solving and control. A LMAS is supportive of both local accountability, which draws on valuing skills, and of local problem solving, which relies on decision skills. Research limitations/implications – One of the research implications of this study is that a LMAS may function as an important mechanism for innovation by explicitly integrating the holistic and the analytic dimensions of experiential learning. Practical implications – The reported case illustrates how management accounting may facilitate process innovation in a practical setting. Originality/value - By adopting an experiential learning methodology to develop new knowledge, the production plant studied has succeeded in creating an environment characterized by continuous innovation.

  • Entrepreneurship in the Shade of a Multinational Corporation : a Story of Fancy Footwork
  • 2011
  • record:In_t: 21<sup>th</sup> Nordic Conference on Business Studies. - Stockholm University, School of Business, Sweden.
  • swepub:Mat_conferencepaper_t (swepub:level_scientificother_t)abstract
    • This paper takes a case study of an engineering company named FlexLink as a point of departure. The company, that produces conceivable applications of conveyors in industrial settings, has no production, no stock and no distribution within the legal boundary of the firm. It has developed as a network organization with organic growth both in the shade of, and ahead of, the global multinational corporation, from which it springs. In order to understand the emergence of this network organization, and the visionary and strong entrepreneur who manoeuvred it to where it stands today, and its rationale, we elaborate on a dialectic model of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis. We also discuss the rational and rhetoric explanation of the organization's emergence through the examination of critical incidents as well as reactions towards more structural limitations and restrictions, as well as windows of opportunity in the shade of the multinational corporation. This article brings up a case of an extreme outsourcing strategy that has been depicted as an internalized business concept, but in our case study the rationale and the current picture is continuously undergoing change. In the analysis we also show how the emergence of the organization can be understood in the light of theories on Schumpeters concept “creative destruction” as well as in terms of the structuration and the process of change as a duality between actor and structure. In this paper we argue that the emergence of FlexLink can be described as dialectic interplay. The network structure emerged by opposition to the mother company's rigid structure and ideology. In the story of emergence it seems to be the unforeseen consequence of tactics played by one single and dominant actor, navigating in the early days to circumvent obstacles of internal policy. Thus the new organization emerges as an antithesis to the corporate policies and modes of operation. The new business was not produced according to a pre-established strategic plan, but rather evolved from a spirit of contradiction and a more or less explicit revolt and ambition to act differently. One important contribution from this study is that entrepreneurship has many faces and applications and also describes the practice of the entrepreneur as a problem solver and a master of fancy footwork. This is elaborated in the paper together with a discussion based on the risks for stagnation or how new – second order - entrepreneurship can emerge.

  • Knowledge entrainment and project management : The case of large-scale transformation projects
  • 2010
  • record:In_t: International Journal of Project Management. - : Elsevier. - 0263-7863 .- 1873-4634. ; 28:2, s. 130-141
  • swepub:Mat_article_t (swepub:level_refereed_t)abstract
    • An increasing number of change processes and initiatives are organized and implemented as projects, often through the formation of large-scale transformation projects (LST). involving a great number of specialists, departments, partners, development work, and knowledge bases. The theoretical foundation that supports the choice of managing change as projects and, in effect. the role of project management has received surprisingly little attention in the Current literature, In this paper, we present a model where the success of change initiatives is explained by the quality of project management, which in turn is determined by the quality of knowledge integration. The Outlined model highlights knowledge integration as a process determined by the scope and speed of change, which typically result in problems with synchronization of activities within an LST project. Our model draws oil the idea of knowledge entrainment to explain the fact that different parts (organizations, teams, individuals) tend to develop different time orientations and hence rely on different cycles of knowledge processes. This has important effects oil the absorptive capacity of the involved parts of the project and the amount of information and knowledge that the project can digest. This paper discusses different knowledge-entrainment mechanisms and their effects on the role and practice of project management. Empirical data from an LST project in Posten. one of Northern Europes largest messaging and logistics operators, illustrate the model. The paper contributes to the analysis of the relationships between knowledge integration and time, particularly in LST projects.

  • Competitiveness development of Chinese manufacturing enterprises in global context for crisis management
  • 2010
  • record:In_t: International Journal of Management and Enterprise Development. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1468-4330 .- 1741-8127. ; 9:1, s. 87-115
  • swepub:Mat_article_t (swepub:level_refereed_t)abstract
    • This paper connects previous research in global competitiveness analysis, taking the impact of global financial crisis into account, to evaluate how manufacturing companies are able to manage crisis by adjusting their manufacturing strategy and transformational leadership together with technology level to improve operational competitiveness performance. It develops a theoretical approach of integrating the core factors which influence the operational competitiveness performance, i.e. manufacturing strategy, and transformational leadership with technology level, into conceptual analytical models to evaluate overall competitiveness. The empirical studies are focused to case companies in the most dynamic market - China, especially large- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, and compare their operational performances in global context. The overall competitiveness of multiple cases are studied using the proposed analytical models to conclude the experience of crisis management, which can become a model for crisis management studies of companies globally as well as foreign companies in China.
