- This study addresses the question of the constitution of markets in advanced societies.Specifically, the article studies the role of the traveling trade show in creatingthe real time computing market, which is part of the US electronics sector, duringthe mid-1990’s. Real time computing products assist the transfer, storage and processingof digital signals in real time and support many of the internet applicationswe use today.By applying ethnographic methods,we explore the general question ofhow economic actors cope with uncertainty in the phase of market-making and atthe cutting edge of technology. The paper makes two contributions to the existingliterature. First, it shows that the attempt to organize a trade show in real timecomputing was triggered by the uncertainty experienced by sellers regarding theidentity of prospective buyers and about the exact use to which they would put theemergent technology which is offered for sale. Secondly, we trace the history of anemergent market.We claim that trade shows for innovative products are importantvenues at which markets coalesce.The identification and ordering of market actors,the institutionalization of a distinct business culture and the social networks developedamong market actors and across the subsidiary markets provided the basicsocial infrastructure for what later became known as the real time computingindustry.

Markets
- 2011. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Our lives have gradually become dominated by markets. They are not only at the heart of capitalistic economies all over the world, but also central in public debates. This insightful book brings together existing knowledge on markets from sociology, economics and anthropology, and systematically investigates the different forms of markets we encounter daily in our social lives.Aspers starts by defining what a market actually is, analyzing its essential elements as well as its necessary preconditions and varied consequences. An important theme in the book is that a whole host of markets are embedded within one other and in social life at large, and Aspers discusses these in the context of other forms of economic coordination, such as networks and organizations. Combining theory with empirical examples, the book cuts to the core of understanding how different markets function, the role they have played in history, and how they come into being.This accessible and theoretically rich book will be essential reading for upper-level students seeking to make sense of markets and their complex role in social life.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we synthesize and analyze sociological understandingof fashion, with the main part of the review devoted to classical andrecent sociological work. To further the development of this largelyinterdisciplinary field, we also highlight the key points of research inother disciplines. We define fashion as an unplanned process of recurrentchange against a backdrop of order in the public realm. Weclarify this definition after tracing fashion’s origins and history. As asocial phenomenon, fashion has been culturally and economically significantsince the dawn of Modernity and has increased in importancewith the emergence of mass markets, both in terms of production andconsumption. Most research on this topic is concerned with dress, butwe argue that there are no domain restrictions that should constrainfashion theories. We identify venues around which sociologists coulddevelop further research in this field.

Ledarskapskompetens : Ledarskapskompetens - leda, lära och utveckla
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kan vem som helst bli ledare? Kan den som redan är ledare bli en bättre ledare? Det finns inte några enkla svar på dessa frågor. Utgångspunkten i den här boken är emellertid att förmågan att leda inte är något medfött utan något man lär sig genom att utveckla och förfina en uppsättning mer eller mindre nödvändiga kompetenser. Detta är också grunden i ett kompetensperspektiv på ledarskap. I boken presenterar författaren ett antal kompetenser som har betydelse för ledarskap, som till exempel kommunikationskompetens och relationskompetens. Sammantaget handlar dessa kompetenser om att förstå sig själv, sina medarbetare och sin verksamhet i ett större sammanhang. Boken är indelad i fyra delar. Del 1 lägger grunden för den ledarskapsmodell som boken är uppbyggd kring. Del 2 och 3 ger en fördjupad beskrivning av de olika kompetenser som utgör modellens huvud- och bikomponenter. I del 4 presenteras jämförelser med andra ledarskapsteorier samt konkreta exempel på hur modellen kan tillämpas i olika verksamheter och situationer. Boken riktar sig till blivande och verksamma ledare. Syftet är att ge läsaren dels en djupare förståelse för vad det innebär att vara ledare, dels hjälp i att utöva ledarskapet.

Artists' Autonomy and Professionalization in a New Cultural Policy Landscape
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Professions & Professionalism. - : Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences. - 1893-1049. ; 5:2, s. 1-16
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using literature on the professions, the article explores how a new political model for funding and steering may affect professional autonomy. Professional groups’ efforts to independently practice their profession during times of political change are elaborated. The professional group in questions is artists, the context is Sweden, and the new model is called the Collaborative Cultural Model. This model entails a shift in the funding and realization of cultural policy from the national to the regional level. From a situation in which civil servants with specific culture knowledge were involved, politicians, representatives of civil society, civil servants and artists are now to work together to create a regional culture plan. In the article, two different outcomes of the new model are discussed as possible. It can lead to de-professionalization process, particularly if the policy on keeping outside influences at “arm’s length” weakens. On the other hand, negotiations between different actors could result in artists’ knowledge becoming more prominent and receiving more recognition than previously. This, in turn, could promote professional artists’ status.
