Contestation in transition : Value-conflicts and the organization of markets. The cases of alcohol, gambling and coal
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper an historical comparative approach is applied to analyze how value conflict discourse and organization have evolved from the 1800s onward in three contested commodity markets – the alcohol, gambling and coal market. Situated mainly in the Swedish context, the three case studies demonstrate that the values at stake as well as the organizational arrangements brought forth in response to underlying value conflicts have changed significantly over time in all three markets. The commodities have stayed contested but for more or different reasons. Analyzing a dozen transformative moments in total we conclude that it matters to the organization of a market if there is an underlying value conflict and how this value conflict is configured. The comparative analysis sheds light on four processes in which value-conflict underpinnings of contested commodity markets may be shaped and altered: value addition, value expansion, value accumulation and value relocation.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Responsibilization permeates the various corners of society - not least the markets where responsibility is shifted down from states and organizations to individuals in their role as consumers. How then is responsibility (re)constructed and (re)distributed amongst market actors? This empirical paper contributes to our understanding of the ‘preventive turn’ in governance and more specifically the current trend towards self-control, and self-management by an analysis of consumer responsibilization at the market level. The paper is empirically based on interviews with key informants involved in attempts to organize rational, responsible consumers in the contested Swedish gambling market, a dozen participant observations of responsible gaming education (offline) and Internet studies of on-line equipment and education designed to motivate and teach gamblers to assume responsibility for gambling related problems. Drawing on a market constructionist perspective a model of responsibility in the making is presented. The paper then contributes with empirical illustrations of consumer responsibilization practices carried out in the Swedish context. Findings suggest that the responsible gambler is made up both directly and indirectly, both positively and negatively and by employment of a subtle yet powerful discourse of care.

Struggling to challenge an informal field order : Professional associations as standard-setters
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the last decades, the consulting industry has undergone major changes. The industry has grown rapidly, attracted many new players and the content of the service has expanded to include different types of services. In this changing field, actors such as professional associations, consultants and clients have sought to find ways of defining the boundaries and professional identities of consultants. In this paper, we explore the strategies used by professional associations to balance the demands of professionalization with the informal and elusive characteristics of the consulting field. Drawing on an extensive longitudinal field-study of seven self professional associations we describe and analyze obstacles faced and strategies applied when attempting to challenge this informal field order by way of standardization. The results indicate that the informal field order in the consulting industry is so strong that attempts of introducing more formal orders such as standards become a high-risk project for the professional associations, as it may cause them to lose legitimacy and members. As a consequence, the attempts of professionalization are adjusted to fit the norms in the informal field order rather than the other way around.

Varför är det så svårt att åstadkomma ansvar på marknader?

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ek dr. Susanna Alexius vid Score, Stockholms universitet och Handelshögskolan i Stockholm ger sin syn på ansvarsfrågan inom bland annat spelmarknaden genom en sammanställning av det egna författarskapet i bl a boken Ansvar och marknader (Liber 2014) och ytterligare aktuell litteratur inom området. Hon lyfter här frågan om marknadens förutsättning att fördela och ge initiativ till ansvarstagande för spelmarknadens baksidor för att ge ytterligare fördjupning kring lösningen av problem inom spelmarknaden. Slutsatserna står delvis i kontrast mot ett förhärskande tankestoff om individualitet, beteendevetenskap och det egna ansvaret.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sedan ett kvartssekel har tilltron tillmarknader som problemlösare varitstark. Förhoppningar om ökad effektivitet,valfrihet och kvalitet har lockatmånga att privatisera och konkurrensutsättaen rad skilda verksamheter.Men i praktiken är det sällan så enkeltsom idealet förespeglar.Somliga tjänster har blivit billigare,och tillgängligheten har i många fall ökat.Men marknaderna har visat sig ha egnaproblem. Ibland har problemen löstsmed ännu mer marknad, och ibland harde regleringar som en gång togs bortåterinförts från sidan eller underifrån.Mindre administration blev det alltsåinte, för även marknader behöverorganisation för att fungera.I Riksbankens Jubileumsfonds årsbok2014/15 skriver ett tjugotal forskare omnågra av dagens marknader, om derasorganisering och om hur marknader kanfås att fungera – eller ibland inte fungerar.

Intervention markets and market re-organization
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Organizations and markets are more similar than institutionalized ideas have us believe. A generic similarity is that they are both organized forms of co-ordination in society, and as such often subject to re-organization. However, conversely to formal organizations, the topic of why and how markets are re-organized has generally been neglected by organizational scholars. In this article, we 1) adopt an open system perspective on market re-organization, and 2) specifically analyze how other markets drive re-organization of the individual market.Empirically, the article demonstrates how new or existing markets come into close relation to other markets as a response to their perceived failures or other problems. We refer to the prior type of market as ‘intervention markets’, i.e. markets that intervene in the function of other markets. The individual markets studied – a financial market in our first case and, foremost, power production markets in our second case – were all re-organized as a way to manage the pressure of intervention markets. However, the intentions behind the re-organizations differed: exclusion of the intervention-market (an advisory market) in the first study, and adaptation to it (the EU market for emission allowances) in the latter.

Risk organizers in quest of authority : Organizing risks and risk prevention in the markets of inspection and certification
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- On the basis of two empirical cases (the market of motor vehicle inspection and the market of management certification) this paper analyses different strategies used to make these markets credible and trustworthy. The market actors are referred to as risk organizers and the strategies used as risk management strategies. These risk management strategies are undertaken both by the market actors themselves, and by state authorities and/or NGO’s. Through different organizational solutions, authority for the verification activities is gained. Combining theories of market construction, organizational analyses of standards as transnational regulations, with the critical literature on audit, the paper explains how the expanding market of verifications such as vehicle inspection and management certification can appear stabile and credible.
