- In this paper a framework of key competencies for sustainability defined by UNESCO is used to evaluate the relevance of the CDIO Syllabus for promoting engineering education for sustainable development. The evaluation is performed in two steps. First, topics, terms and concepts in the CDIO Syllabus that corresponds to the different UNESCO key competencies are identified. The second step is a qualitative discussion where areas of strong mapping are highlighted and aspects that could be better visualized or strengthened in, or added to, the Syllabus are identified. Differences in definitions of various concepts between the CDIO Syllabus and the UNESCO key competencies and the overall relation between the two frameworks are discussed. It is concluded that the CDIO Syllabus is rather well aligned with the UNESCO framework, however several opportunities (not to say needs) for strengthening the Syllabus in relation to the key competencies are identified. The UNESCO key competencies are found to be useful instruments for scrutinizing and updating the CDIO Syllabus. Other opportunities for knowledge and methods transfer between the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) domain and the Engineering Education domain are identified. The paper is proposed to be used as basis for updating the CDIO Syllabus into a version 3.0 for maintaining its relevance in a changing world.

Program leadership from a Nordic perspective - Managing education development
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of 8th International CDIO Conference, Brisbane, Australia.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nordic Five Tech (N5T) is a strategic alliance between five technical universities in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The overall aim is to “utilize shared and complementary strengths and create synergy within education, research and innovation”. In this paper we focus on university educational development issues by investigating the program leadership at five Nordic technical universities. Specifically, the paper compares definitions, views and experiences of education leadership in the Nordic Five Tech (N5T) universities. The paper does this by, first, reviewing the definitions of roles and responsibilities for program directors at each university, and second, by presenting results from a survey carried out in March 2012 among program directors at the N5T universities. Based on this data, we analyze how program directors experience their role, their possibilities to lead, and their opportunities of learning to lead. How is time for reflection and development as leaders handled at the different universities? The paper goes on to consider what impact the mandate of the leadership role has on the possibilities for developing educational programs. For instance, how can program directors ensure that learning objectives concerning generic skills and abilities are reached? How can program directors drive implementation of integrative and value-oriented topics such as sustainable development, innovation and entrepreneurship?

Ägarmakt och omvandling: Den svenska modellen utmanad
- 2003. - 1
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Med hjälp av röststarka aktier och investmentbolag har svenska kontrollägare kunnat utöva aktivt ägarskap i växande entreprenörsföretag och multinationella jättar. Staten och kapitalet har stöttat varandra i god harmoni i den svenska modellen för ägarstyrning. Men nu är den svenska ägarmodellen utmanad. Globaliserade marknader för riskkapital ser med skepsis på inlåsta ägarstrukturer och efterlyser en aktie- en röst. Ett stagnerande Europa kastar avundsjuka blickar på tillväxtundret i USA med dess dynamiska strukturomvandling i näringslivet. EU-kommissionen tar initiativ till en gemensam europeisk marknad för företagskontroll och kräver genomgripande reformer som inspirerats av anglosaxiska förebilder. Har den svenska modellen kommit till vägs ände? Kommer Europas inlåsta ägarmakt att brytas upp och marknaden för företagskontroll att amerikaniseras? Finns det några alternativ? Vad blir konsekvenserna för tillväxt, sysselsättning och välstånd?

Why Agency Costs Explain Diversification Discounts
- 2001
-
Ingår i: Real Estate Economics. - : Wiley. - 1080-8620 .- 1540-6229. ; 29:1, s. 85-126
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study diversificsation within the real estate industry because of its relative transparency: portfolio management of assets with well-defined market prices. Diversification is over property types and geographical regions. The major cause of the diversification discount is not diversification per se but anticipated costs due to rent dissipation in future diversifying acquisitions. Firms expected to pursue nonfocusing strategies do indeed diversify more, are valued ex ante at a 20% discount over firms anticipated to follow a focusing strategy, are predominantly privately controlled and use dual-class shares extensively. The ex ante diversification discount is, therefore, a measure of agency costs.
