China's aircraft industry: collaboration and technology transfer - the case of Airbus
- 2010
-
In: International Journal of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation (IJTTC). - : Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. - 1470-6075 .- 1741-5284. ; 9:4, s. 306-325

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- China has moved a long way in economic and industrial development during the last decades and has developed into a global player in many industries. With increased knowledge in high-technology industries, China has ambitions to move into sectors that necessitate a high level of research and development, such as the aerospace industry. China is now in the process of establishing a modern aircraft industry based on domestic efforts as well as agreements with foreign partners in the manufacturing of complete aircraft. This paper analyzes what measures have been taken by Airbus in the form of technology transfer and other supportive measures to strengthen its position in the Chinese market. The findings conclude that Airbus’ transfer should be looked upon as a broad spectrum of technology and knowledge transfer, which include aircraft manufacturing technology, as well as cabin crew training centre, establishment of a warehouse and suppliers ”village”, an engineering centre, maintenance and various service functions.

Environmental crises and the metabolic rift in world-historical perspective
- 2000
-
In: Organization & environment. - 1086-0266 .- 1552-7417. ; 13:2, s. 123-157
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article proposes a new theoretical framework to study the dialectic of capital and nature over the longue durée of world capitalism. The author proposes that today’s global ecological crisis has its roots in the transition to capitalism during the long sixteenth century. The emergence of capitalism marked not only a decisive shift in the arenas of politics, economy, and society, but a fundamental reorganization of world ecology, characterized by a “metabolic rift,” a progressively deepening rupture in the nutrient cycling between the country and the city. Building upon the historical political economy of Marx, Foster, Arrighi, and Wallerstein, the author proposes a new research agenda organized around the concept of systemic cycles of agro-ecological transformation. This agenda aims at discerning the ways in which capitalism’s relationship to nature developed discontinuously over time as recurrent ecological crises have formed a decisive moment of world capitalist crisis, forcing successive waves of restructuring over long historical time.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Entrepreneurial marketing (EM), i.e., the interface of the two research fields of entrepreneurship and marketing, is a scholarly concept that is receiving increasing interest. In our article, we attempt to address definitional issues, theoretical foundations, historical milestones and new, preliminary empirical findings. More exactly, we propose our own definition of EM especially taking into consideration the entrepreneurial orientation behind this new marketing concept and the aim of creating customer value through such means as innovativeness, creativity, selling, networking or flexibility. Besides, we offer an overview of EM’s ‘modern history’ within the last 20 years and

Promotion and advertising
- 2006
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Businesses must sell. And, while the quality, price, availability, etc., of the goods and/or services to sell must fit the markets in which they are to be sold, sales do not occur unless (potential) customers know what a business has to offer. Where there is only one supplier, customer awareness is given. But in a highly competitive environment, a condition that typifies most small business markets, a gaggle of voices attempt to familiarize (potential) customers with the goods and/or services they sell and the reasons (potential) customers should patronize them rather than someone else. Effectively, each competitor endeavors to distinguish from the crowd. This differentiation process requires promotion, often including formal advertising. Successful promotion and advertising typically demands considerable amounts of human and/or physical capital. Since most small businesses are resource constrained, the promotional challenges for small-business owners and managers are even more demanding than they would be in other situations. This issue of the National Small Business Poll, therefore, focuses on Promotion and Advertising.

Marketing perspectives
- 2006
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- There are almost six million small employers in the United States and millions of other businesses without employees. In addition, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of businesses located outside the United States and many non-profits located within compete for American customers. The resulting cacophony makes it very difficult for the individual small-business owner to emerge from the din and market his or her firm and its products/services. Still, small-business owners and managers have no choice. They must reach their potential customer base they are to have any chance of survival, let alone success. Thus the marketing attributes and strategies employed in successful firms are of particular interest to many and yield this issue of the National Small Business Poll, Marketing Perspectives.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This research note is an exploration into the implications of an emerging school of marketing thought, service dominant logic (SDL), may have on the marketing/entrepreneurship interface. First, SDL is discussed from a marketing perspective, then SDL and the traditional goods dominant logic of marketing are compared with respect to how they may impact a firm’s entrepreneurial processes. Finally, a set of research implications for SDL at the marketing/entrepreneurship interface is offered.

-
In: Journal of Family Business Management. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 2043-6238 .- 2043-6246. ; 7:3, s. 329-350
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – This paper addresses the phenomenon of venture capital firms which are also family businesses(VCFBs). The purpose of this paper is to explore and understand the phenomenon of VCFB by answering thefollowing questions: What are the features of professionalization in VCFBs? And, how do professionalizationand types of family businesses explain the strategies and governance of VCFBs?Design/methodology/approach – As an explorative case study, it maps the Swedish venture capital (VC)industry and compares two VCFBs and their business investments with regard to strategy and governance.Findings – By suggesting two major configurations, the study explains how family business developmentand levels of professionalization relate to differences in VCFBs’ strategies, which in turn, affect theirgovernance. The personal VCFB features active owners who personally take responsibility roles and stronglyfocus on customers and relationships. The administrative VCFB strongly focuses on predetermined financialmetrics, high ethical awareness among board members, and ongoing interplay between the active familyboard members and minority shareholders.Research limitations/implications – The study was conducted in Sweden and concerns Swedish VCFBs.The paper contributes to the literature by combining the two currently separate research streams, i.e. familybusiness and VC, highlighting the importance and consequences of family ownership in VC businesses.Practical implications – The present study provides stock market investors and stock analysts with adeeper understanding of VCFBs’ strategy incentives. By identifying the kind of VCFB and its relation tostrategy, more reasonable assessments and analyses of the VCFBs’ actions will be possible. Family firms willingto accept VC-finance should consider the type of VC and the potential consequences of family ownership.Originality/value – This study is the first to classify VC firms as family businesses. Moreover, it shows thefeatures of professionalization in VCFBs by suggesting a set of configurations.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- There is a need to better understand the organizational factors influencing innovative performance. This cross-cultural study examined organizational support factors in biotech R&D groups differing in innovative performance. The objective was to twofold; first to explore how organizing influences innovativeness in R&D, and, second to examine if R&D organizing is related to nations having a low and high innovation degree, respectively. Results supported that organizing R&D as well as national innovation performance are related. Crucial organizational issues found were how much organizations encouraged innovations, the degree of perceived autonomy and to what extent organizations could supply knowledge. Some of the implications of these results are introduced.

Nyheter på ekonomiska

In: Den framgångsrika ekonomiskan. - Stockholm : Santérus Förlag. - 9189449754 ; , s. 110-129
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- När en viktig fråga ska avgöras – såväl i våra organisationer som i samhällsdebatten – vinner nästan alltid en ekonom diskussionen.Det spelar ingen roll om motparten är en välinformerad, engagerad och kompetent yrkesperson, en väl förberedd representant för en intressegrupp, en politiker med brett stöd eller en journalist som grävt djupt, ekonomen får ändå sista ordet.Ekonomerna kan inte sakfrågorna bättre, de är inte mer engagerade än andra, de företräder inte starkare intressen och de vet inte något varken om dåtiden eller framtiden som inte andra vet. Ekonomernas framgång med att styra beslut och beslutsfattare beror på att de talar ett kraftfullare språk än andra – ekonomiskan. Boken innehåller ett antal essäer om språket ekonomiska, dess betydelse och användning. Den vänder sig till alla som söker svar på frågan vad ekonomiskan egentligen spelar för roll. Om kapitlet "Nyheter på ekonomiska": Affärspressen har under de senaste årtiondena blivit en allt viktigare arena för ekonomiskan att spridas, utvecklas och användas på. I kapitlet analyseras användningen av ekonomiskan i affärstidningarna Dagens Industri och Finanstidningen under 1990-talet. Först presenteras resultat från kvantitativa textanalyser för att få en övergripande bild av affärspressens ordförråd. Därefter analyseras användningen av ekonomiskan genom studier av affärstidningarnas redaktionella inriktning samt nyheternas innehåll och karaktär.

Realization of open innovation : a case study in manufacturing industry
- 2014
-
In: Journal of Promotion Management. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1049-6491 .- 1540-7594. ; 20:3, s. 372-389
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Continuous innovation is regarded as an imperative for most companies. In this regard, open innovation suggests a successful approach to new product development, wherein the emphasis is on external collaboration. Previous research has provided examples from some industries, whereas mature and traditional companies such as manufacturing firms have gained limited interest. Thus, this paper seeks to answer two critical questions: why should manufacturing companies shift toward open innovation approaches and how can they adopt open innovation for product development. Based on case study in two companies, a list of opportunities, challenges, and efforts for organizational change toward open innovation are discussed.

An Evaluation of R.L. Ackoff’s Interactive Planning : A Case-based Approach
- 2011
-
In: Systemic Practice and Action Research. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1094-429X .- 1573-9295. ; 24:4, s. 355-357
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Russell L. Ackoff developed the Interactive Planning (IP) methodology as a conceptual tool to guide systematic and systemic development of organizations. One of its unique features is that such development should be ideal-oriented. IP has been well-received within the Systems Thinking community in particular; where more than 300 applications of IP are mentioned. However, it has not been easy to answer the question: “does the use of IP enable that which it is proposing to enable?” as there have been no systematic, empirically grounded, and critically oriented, evaluations of IP. This study attempts to offer such an evaluation. In this case, IP was employed to support a comprehensive development of a Department within a company. This IP application was evaluated using a set of predefined evaluation criteria derived from the IP as such and also from its critique. The results suggest that IP is indeed a powerful methodology to guide organizational development. While IP has several positive merits, a set of limitations were identified and serve here as a basis for deriving recommendations for the practitioners of IP and also suggestions of areas that merit further IP research.

In the name of women? : Feminist readings of policies for women's entrepreneurship in Scandinavia
- 2017
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Management. - : Elsevier. - 0956-5221 .- 1873-3387. ; 33:1, s. 50-63
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Policy actors seeking to stimulate entrepreneurship sometimes give special attention to women. It is not given, however, that policy initiatives for women entrepreneurs necessarily contribute to gender equality, to social change for women - such as enhancing entrepreneurship as a means to women's wellbeing and financial or other independence - or to gendered change of society. We claim that the outcomes depend on the premises behind the policies. The purpose of this paper is to conduct an analysis of the feminist approaches that are taken in policies for women's entrepreneurship in the Scandinavian countries. We analyse how these policies argue for women's entrepreneurship, how they position women, and what assumptions they hold with respect to women and their businesses. We analyse and compare state-level polices that have been implemented by the national governments in three Scandinavian countries; Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, during the period 2005-2015. A comprehensive analytical tool, building on six different feminist theoretical approaches, is developed. We find that, even if a liberal feminist perspective is present, along with elements of other feminist approaches, polices give precedence to economic growth in a non-feminist fashion. Over time, economic growth becomes the key focus, while feminist approaches are silenced. We observe that, in the name of supporting women, the actual aim of policies for women entrepreneurs often seems to be economic growth, and women are seen merely as an untapped, and yet not fully adequate, resource.

In: Journal of Agrarian Change. - 1471-0358 .- 1471-0366. ; 10:1, s. 33-68
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the first of two essays in this Journal, I seek to unify the historicalgeography of early modern ‘European expansion’ (Iberia and Latin America)with the environmental history of the ‘transition to capitalism’ (northwestern Europe). The expansion of Europe’s overseas empires and the transitions to capitalism within Europe were differentiated moments within the geographicalexpansion of commodity production and exchange – what I call the commodityfrontier. This essay is developed in two movements. Beginning with a conceptual and methodological recasting of the historical geography of the rise of capitalism,I offer an analytical narrative that follows the early modern diaspora of silver.This account follows the political ecology of silver production and trade from the Andes to Spain in Braudel’s ‘second’ sixteenth century (c. 1545–1648). In highlighting the Ibero-American moment of this process in the present essay, Icontend that the spectacular reorganization of Andean space and the progressive dilapidation of Spain’s real economy not only signified the rise and demise of a trans-Atlantic, Iberian ecological regime, but also generated the historicallynecessary conditions for the unprecedented concentration of accumulation andcommodity production in the capitalist North Atlantic in the centuries thatfollowed.
