Sundhedsplatformen i modvind: En analyse af aktørernes teknologiforståelser i danske medier
Get PDFSundhedsplatformen udgør et af de mest omdiskuterede offentlige digitaliseringsinitiativer i de senere år i Danmark og Skandinavien. Artiklen zoomer ind på, hvordan Sundhedsplatformen fremstilles i den offentlige debat baseret på en undersøgelse af 520 nyhedsartikler i danske medier i perioden 2012-2018. Artiklen belyser de forskellige interessenters (læger, politikere m.fl.) opfattelser og forståelser af Sundhedsplatformen (”technological frames”), ligesom det belyses, hvordan journalister og redaktører fremstiller (”vinkler”) muligheder og problemer ved anvendelse af Sundhedsplatformen. Samlet er de kritiske udsagn om Sundhedsplatformen tydeligt fremherskende og baseret på grundlæggende opfattelser af, at Sundhedsplatformen begrænser arbejdsglæden, medfører usikker patientbehandling, og fortrænger menneskeligheden i mødet mellem patient og personale. Debatten er samtidig karakteriseret ved en kraftig skævhed, i hvilke interessenter som kommer til orde med læger som den dominerende interessentgruppe, der går forrest i den til tider heftige kritik. Artiklen bidrager med indgående viden om, hvordan Sundhedsplatformens formål, implementering og brug opfattes af centrale interessenter i sundhedsvæsenet, og viser hvordan indførelse af et omfattende og avanceret IT-system i offentlige organisationer kan blive et omdrejningspunkt i medierne
Shifting Cases: Advancing a New Artifact for Entrepreneurial Education
Get PDFEntrepreneurship, as applied here, involves helping students develop an entrepreneurial mindset by working in a university-supported startup that lacks the artificiality of a simulation or the safety net of heavy financial subsidization. This article chronicles an organizational-wide change at a private Midwestern university and the development of a new “artifact”—the dynamic case study—to complement a new approach to business and entrepreneurial education. After reviewing the function of case studies in a teaching and research context, I consider this new kind of case study as a boundary object and means for making sense of early stage entrepreneurial activity
Struggles and Strategies of Black Women Business Owners in the U.S.
Get PDFBlack women start businesses at a rate above the national average. Yet, a revenue gap persists when compared to businesses owned by Black men and White men and women. Existing explanations for the differences in revenue highlight the lack of experience and limited access to start-up capital that constrain racial and gender minorities and also the type of industries in which they operate. Research specifically examining Black women business owners is very limited. In this article, we explore if Black women business owners’ gender and racial identities pose challenges to running their businesses. We find that, because of their race and gender, Black women business owners contend with unique challenges that many entrepreneurs do not face. In-depth interviews reveal that they confront negative stereotypes held about them and, surprisingly, experience difficulties interacting with Black clients. These entrepreneurs cite navigation strategies that include monitoring self-presentation, adopting standards of excellence, and creating clear professional boundaries. This study suggests that Black women business owners might be spending more time than other business owners navigating challenges specifically linked to their identity, which seems to impact their business directly
