No full textThis master thesis focuses on social performance measurement of social enterprises with employment orientation and how the chosen methods can enhance the strategic management in these certain enterprises. The research is conducted by committing semi-systematic literature review based on management, entrepreneurship, and innovation literature. This approach result-ed in exploration of three distinct methods for social impact measurement: Blended Value Accounting, Social Value Construct and Social Impact Assessment. In addition, a strategic tool of SMART was used as a template to structure the methods for analysis, and the analysis is supplemented by stakeholder engagement theory and strategic management approach. The results indicate that the methods represent very distinct approaches to social impact measurement, and that the results of the measurement are dependent on the stakeholder engagement which is integrated to strategic management objectives of the social enterprise. Moreover, it was identified, that in the model of market-oriented businesses with employment orientation, beneficiaries play a key role regardless of the strategic objective of the management, because of their double-role in the enterprise as value creators and beneficiaries of the social impact

Gender & Entrepreneurship in Denmark: Investigating Global & Local Gender Disparities
No full textThis research paper focuses on the gender gap in Denmark's entrepreneurial landscape. Despite Denmark's support for entrepreneurship, there are significantly fewer women entrepreneurs. The study aims to understand how this gender gap affects aspiring, current, or previous women entrepreneurs in Denmark by examining global reasons for lower female participation in entrepreneurship and interviewing five women entrepreneurs about their experiences. Key findings indicate that societal stereotypes, lack of female role models, internal challenges like self-doubt, and social security concerns are significant obstacles for women. Women often feel pressured to suppress their feminine traits in business, experience loneliness, and face media bias favouring successful male entrepreneurs. They also struggle with work-family balance, funding disparities, and being taken less seriously than men. Despite these challenges, the interviewed women still see entrepreneurship as an attractive career path, though some may delay starting a business or consider traditional jobs. The research suggests that increasing women in leadership roles, improving social security support, and changing media portrayals could help bridge the gender gap in entrepreneurship in Denmark

Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
