Digital reconstructions of picture galleries as art historical method: The virtual museum at the Royal Palace in Stockholm
No full textWe are now witnessing a wave of research using digital tools to create 3D reconstructions of buildings, exhibitions, and objects. We would therefore like to critically discuss the scholarly value of reconstructions. What are we learning? Which problems are solved? What new knowledge can be gained? These are questions posed from a background of history of display and a pilot study in which we are reconstructing two hangings in a gallery at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. We conclude that an immersive 3D reconstruction can give new insights into narratives and hierarchies of art displays. Our model, made with the game engine Unity and the software Virtual Museum, allows us to show and analyze historical changes and developments as well as aspects as eye-lines, visibility and visitors flow to a comparably low cost. This way an immersive 3D-reconstruction can be used not only for pedagogical visualizations, but become an effective research tool
Punk, klass och karriär
No full textPunken, musikstilen och ungdomsrörelsen som bröt fram under andra halvan av 1970-talet, är samtidigt både omskriven och svår att ringa in. Med sin undersökning av vad punken betytt som socialt sammanhang för dem som var med, lägger Per Dannefjord och Magnus Eriksson en pusselbit till vår förståelse av denna ökända ungdomskultur. I artikeln jämför de den sociala bakgrunden och den nuvarande klasspositionen för den första generationens punkare i Sverige, aktiva mellan 1978 och 1982. Tvärtemot vad olyckskorpar under ”punkeran” trodde, visar det sig att punkarna lyckats bättre vad gäller både utbildningsnivå och social position jämfört med sin generation som helhet. Dannefjord och Eriksson ger två förklaringar till framgången: dels att punkens socialt brokiga sammansättning skapade en miljö där nya möjligheter blev synliga för framför allt ungdomar med arbetarbakgrund; dels att punken erbjöd läroprocesser som gav resurser som kunde utnyttjas i yrkes- och utbildningskarriärer inom framför allt kultursektorn.</p
Alternativgenerering och alternativjämförelse i åtgärdsvalsstudier
No full textStudien som utförts av Per Eriksson vid konsultföretaget Ramböll och Jörgen Altin vid WSP, har syftat till att vidareutveckla kunskap till nytta för utförare av åtgärdsvalsstudier. Antalet alternativa åtgärder och åtgärdstyper samt kombinationer av dessa kan bli väldigt omfattande och svårt att hantera i en åtgärdsvalsstudie. Ett flertal förslag till hur man kan underlätta och effektivisera hanteringen av alternativ tas upp i denna rapport. Dessa förslag har till stor del beaktats vid uppdatering av handledningen för åtgärdsvalsstudier.

An analysis of critical operations capabilities in a high cost environment: a multiple case study
No full textHow Many Danish Jobs Can (Potentially) Be Done Elsewhere?
No full textThis paper employs a new survey technique to arrive at estimates of the proportion of jobs with the characteristic that they can be performed elsewhere than currently, in particular in other countries. The results from the survey which was carried out in November 2008 indicate that the proportion of current jobs with offshorability characteristics in Denmark is in the 20 to 30 percent range. Danish jobs that could potentially be carried out elsewhere are primarily found in the services sector (financial and business services) and they are typically performed by employees from the middle of the wage distributionJobs; offshorability; outsourcing
Foreign Ownership Wage Premia in Emerging Economies: Evidence from Czech Republic
No full textIn this paper we examine the relationship between wages, labour productivity and ownership using a linked employer-employee dataset covering a large fraction of the Czech labour market in 2006. We distinguish between different origins of ownership and study wage and productivity differences. The raw wage differential between foreign and domestically owned firms is about 24 percent. The empirical analysis is carried out on both firm- and individual-level data. A key finding is that industry, region, and notably human capital explain only a small part of the foreign-domestic ownership wage differential. Both white and blue collar workers as well as skilled and unskilled employees obtain a foreign ownership wage premium. Foreign ownership premia are more prevalent in older and less technologically advanced firms. Joint estimation of productivity and wage equations show that, controlling for human capital, the difference in productivity is about twice as large as the wage differential. The results indicate that the international firms share their rents with their employeesForeign ownership; wages; productivity
Corporate visioning : a cross comparison between SMEs in Scotland and Sweden
No full textThe business environment of today is characterised as both dynamic and complex, and many corporations face fierce competition on all fronts. To deal with strategic planning in this businesses environment has become difficult and visioning has been argued to be one approach forward. Numerous prescriptive models on how to develop visions have identified in the literature, but studies on how corporations actually develop visions are few. This study therefore aims to describe the process of how small and medium sized firms develop visions.
This study compares small and medium sized firms in Scotland and Sweden on how they developed their visions. The study adopted a survey methodology where 210 firms of different sizes were contacted in each country. The response rate was 24,3% in Scotland and 47,6 % in Sweden.
The main findings of this study are that the process of developing visions was rather diverse, some firms used short process, whereas in other firms the vision developed over time. In general it was an emergent process. The firms used many of the techniques and looked at factors found in the management literature, but maybe not in the way as prescribed by vision methodologies. In general the vision process was leader driven or developed by top management, but in some cases it was developed by a wider involvement. Few differences could be found between how Scottish and Swedish firms develop their visions, except that the Swedish firms to a higher degree had a developed vision. The major finding of this study is that the bigger the firm the more likely they are to have developed a vision, used management techniques and had wider involvement in the process
