Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There has long been a debate regarding the inclusion of IT into the curriculum for business students. With IT being a natural part of their coming working environment, the under-developed use of for instance Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI) solutions has suffered much critique. As a response to this, the Centre for Business Solutions and the Scandinavian Academic Network for Teaching Enterprise Systems (SANTE) have created a joint initiative together with the industry. Through making the full accounts from a medium-sized manufacturing company available to the students through a specially designed BI solution, the students are given the task to identify potential problems with the accounts. The assignment is intended to be run in the form of a competition, where the students from different Swedish universities compete in analyzing the company in a given time-frame. The purpose of this case is to present the outline and outset for the competition, together with some initial reflections on the setup-phase.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att leda kreativa människor, t.ex. forskare, lär vara som att "valla en flock katter". Tanken bakom ett sådant påstående skulle vara att kreativa människor, som en följd av sin autonomi och professionalism, inte behöver eller vill ha någon ledning. I detta kapitel belyses ett kreativt arbete med stora krav på samordning och ledning, nämligen komplext produktutvecklingsarbete i bilindustrin. Speciellt komplext blir det, när som i det fall vi studerat, arbetet innebär en samordning mellan olika företag och olika kulturer. Vi har studerat arbetsklimat och hantering av konfliktkällor i samarbetet mellan Volvo Personvagnar, Mitsubishi och NedCar i samband med att årsmodeller uppgraderas.

Big Data Challenges for Performance Measurement and Management: A critical reflection
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Proceedings in the 8th conference on performance measurement and management control. - 2295-1660.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Big Data is starting to permeate the field of performance measurement and management. With data being referred to as the “new oil of the 21st century” and organizations more and more striving for utilizing this to their advantage, the notion of Big Data has become a hallmark for the modern decision maker. We argue that albeit promising for performance measurement and management, there are several aspects that need to be addressed within research. This paper builds on a literature review of extant research, and, a case study, and raises issues that if left unchecked could have negative impacts on the field of performance measurement and management. Despite the many positive aspects associated with Big Data, there is a need for a sound, critical perspective. The findings are discussed in relation to the three Vs regarded as a the core definition of Big Data (volume, variety and velocity) and illustrated by a case study.

Business Intelligence Practices: Adding Evidence from Organizations in the Nordic Countries
- 2013
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Business Intelligence Research. - 1947-3605 .- 1947-3605. ; 4:2, s. 1-18
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is considerate interest in Business Intelligence (BI) from many perspectives, but little research describing design and use of BI in real companies is available (Granlund, 2011; Jourdan, Rainer & Marshall, 2008). The aim of this article is to add empirical evidence to the knowledge of BI practices, addressing calls for research. BI practices is reported from 193 large Nordic organizations with the aim to give a broad perspective. Nordic organizations are seen as early movers in the adoption of technology (Beise, 2004) and receptive to adopt innovations (Waarts & Van Everdingen, 2005). However, the picture we arrive at is that Nordic organizations design and use of BI solutions is fairly traditional, with a major focus on reporting and analysis that contain financial information. There are signs of "beyond traditional use" of BI, but more field based research is needed to better understand BI in practice.

Conceptual Fluidity in the study of Accounting Information Systems: The case of Corporate Performance Management
- 2013
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Business Information Systems. - 1746-0972. ; 14:3, s. 280-306
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study is to contribute to the field of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) through an illustration and discussion of the conceptual fluidity of one specific technology (Corporate Performance Management, CPM). This is achieved through a synthesizing content analysis of proprietary industry analyst reports from 2002 to 2010. The study finds that CPM displays a high degree of conceptual fluidity, and, based on this, two research strategies informed by the sociomaterial perspective are proposed. The study discusses how an increased understanding of the conceptual fluidity of AIS technologies can be taken into account in future research. The implication of this study is a more informed approach in the study of; and, the design, adoption and diffusion of AIS technologies.
