Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the electron positron collider LEP at CERN from 1995 to 2000 are reported. The combined data set considered in this report corresponds to a total luminosity of about 3 fb(-1) collected by the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, 13 and OPAL, at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 GeV to 209 GeV. Combining the published results of the four LEP experiments, the measurements include total and differential cross-sections in photon-pair, fermion-pair and four-fermion production, the latter resulting from both double-resonant WW and ZZ production as well as singly resonant production. Total and differential cross-sections are measured precisely, providing a stringent test of the Standard Model at centre-of-mass energies never explored before in electron positron collisions. Final-state interaction effects in four-fermion production, such as those arising from colour reconnection and Bose Einstein correlations between the two W decay systems arising in WW production, are searched for and upper limits on the strength of possible effects are obtained. The data are used to determine fundamental properties of the W boson and the electroweak theory. Among others, the mass and width of the W boson, m(w) and Gamma(w), the branching fraction of W decays to hadrons, B(W -> had), and the trilinear gauge-boson self-couplings g(1)(Z), K-gamma and lambda(gamma), are determined to be: m(w) = 80.376 +/- 0.033 GeV Gamma(w) = 2.195 +/- 0.083 GeV B(W -> had) = 67.41 +/- 0.27% g(1)(Z) = 0.984(-0.020)(+0.018) K-gamma - 0.982 +/- 0.042 lambda(gamma) = 0.022 +/- 0.019.

Dynamics of wilful ignorance in organizations
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Contemporary society is obsessed with knowledge, leaving its less seductive counterpart, ignorance, in the shadows. However, as an expanding literature suggests, it is equally important to understand ignorance and consider its varieties. This study specifies the nature of wilful ignorance in organizations. It does so by (a) making a distinction between the will of an actor and the epistemic properties of ignorance, and showing how these two form a dynamic relationship, (b) linking wilful ignorance to its various drivers and (c) suggesting how our concept of wilful ignorance can be used in the study of organizations. Rather than reducing the phenomenon into a simple to know/to ignore dichotomy, we concentrate on its processual and dynamic nature. Moreover, we explore the complexities and ambiguity inherently involved in all knowing and ignoring as well as the role of agency in reducing the harmful effects of wilful ignorance in organizations.

Philosophical Minds or Brotgelehrte?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this essay, we discuss basic orientations and ways of being among us, the academics, especially in the context of research. Using German poet, scholar and author Friedrich Schiller’s distinction between ‘der philosophische Kopf’ (‘philosophical mind’) and ‘Brotgelehrte’ (‘bread-fed scholar’), we contrast ideal-typical figures in academia. We find these forgotten 18th-century characters inspirational to help us understand some troublesome contemporary developments of academics and academia and to remind us of the perhaps perennial nature of the ongoing controversies and debates. We further develop and nuance these figures and bring them to the 21st century. Like Schiller in his time, we want to highlight the importance of each of us in shaping what academia is and what it becomes. The contrast may help us think through who we are, what is driving us in our work, and how we can (re)construct ourselves in the light of dominant normalizations and templates for being in contemporary academia.

Firms in (Green) Public Procurement : Financial Strength Indicators’ Impact on Contract Awards and Its Repercussion on Financial Strength
- 2021
-
Ingår i: SSRN Electronic Journal. - Berlin : DIW Berlin. - 1556-5068.
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- We examine whether the financial strength of companies, in particular, small and medium-sizedenterprises (SMEs) is causally linked to the award of a public procurement contract (PP), especially inthe environmentally friendly “green” area (GPP). For this purpose, we build a combined procurementcompany data set from the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) and the SME database AMADEUS, whichincludes ten European countries. First, we apply probit models to investigate whether the probabilityof winning the public tender depends on the company's financial strength. We then use theFlexpanel DiD approach to investigate the question of whether the award has an impact on thefuture financial strength of the successful company. On the one hand, we find that a lower equityratio and a higher short-term debt ratio increase the probability of being successful in a publictender. On the other hand, the success means that the companies can continue to work after theaward with a lower equity ratio than comparable companies without an award, regardless ofwhether the company was successful in a traditional or a “green” public tender. We conclude fromthis that the success in a PP is a substitute for one's own financial strength and thus facilitates accessto external financing. The estimation results differ depending on whether public procurement ingeneral or the sub-group of “green” public procurement is examined.

Revisiting Corporate Sustainability: Towards a Critically-Performative Research Agenda
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - 2151-6561. ; 1, s. 1-6
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article discusses research which focused on the influence of Critical Management Studies (CMS) on the goals of firms to attain corporate sustainability (CS). The researchers argued that both CMS and CS share objectives that are overlapping in various ways and aim to contribute to the issue concerning how CS can be studied critically and address the problem related to the relevance of CMS-inspired researches. They also developed a framework which emphasized small and micro-level steps at the organizational level that can be effectively used for critically researching CS.
