Ecology and the accumulation of capital : thinking capitalism through the web of life
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Capitalism as world-ecology is an effort to move from the “environmental history of” capitalism, or modernity, or the world market, to capitalism AS environmental history. Financial crises, for instance, are not social or economic crises that make their footprint on the rest of nature; they are crises of a key moment of capitalism’s symbolic and material ordering of the relation between humans and the rest of nature. This dialectical alternative views the great movements of modern world history – industrial and agricultural revolutions, successive new imperialisms, the development of the world market – as socio-ecological projects and processes, aimed at reconfiguring nature-society relations. ‘Nature,’ no longer a passive substance upon which humanity leaves its footprint, becomes an active bundle of relations, formed and re-formed through the historically- and geographically-specific movements of humans, with the rest of nature. This entails more than a catalogue of capitalism’s biophysical depredations. It calls for new synthesis that locates the accumulation of capital, the production of nature, and pursuit of power in a singular and differentiated whole. This perspective begins from the premise that capitalism does not act upon nature so much as develop through nature-society relations. Capitalism does not have an ecological regime; it is an ecological regime.

The hen or the egg? : IT innovations’ influence on business strategy
- 2011

Ingår i: Proceedings of the Nordic Academy of Management conference 2011. - : Gotland University. ; , s. 1-18

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The literature on business strategy and management control often underscores the necessity that companies, in their strategic processes, strive to first set goals and strategies and thereafter conduct investments in organization and technologies. However, some scholars argue that IT enables and induces strategic change and that these changes are necessary in order to gain value from the investment. Based on extensive empirical studies of the Swedish graphic industry this paper elaborates on the connection between strategy development and IT utilization. The conclusions are based on a longitudinal study of the graphic industry (1980-2010), a complete study of all annual reports from the two market leaders in the industry (1984-2010) and a complete study of all board meeting protocols in a newspaper and printing company (1971-1989). One conclusion is that there is greater awareness about the implications of IT on the business and the industry than the companies manage to translate in to action. Another conclusion is that the strategic orientation of the owners affects the execution of the IT strategy in the operating units.

European industrial transformation : the effects of digitization
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 13th Swedish network for European studies in economics and business conference. ; , s. 1-41
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper reviews the impact of digitization and information technology over several decades in four industries representing a cross-section of the entire economy. It is based on in-depth studies of the raw material production, manufacturing, retailing, and public service sectors in Sweden. The focus is on the content of industrial transformation in the form of new and improved products, improved processes, changed organizational structures, and redefined industry boundaries. Some of these changes are measurable in terms of their economic impact, but most are not. We find that digitization has been a gradual and iterative process involving interrelated technological and organizational changes. This confirms the findings in previous studies that Sweden is the leading country in Europe in adopting IT and may help to explain Sweden’s successful economic performance over the last decade or so.
