Can the center-left regain some of its strength by actively employing strategic framing in the same measure as we have seen the conservatives in USA do it? is article introduces framing as phenomenon, illustrates the principal part that framing plays in politics through a series of concrete examples of political framing, including the con ict at Restaurant Vejlegården last summer. As the examples will show, framing is more than an American phenomenon. It is very relevant and already in play in a Danish context as well. e article will show that framing exists across countries, electoral systems and ideological movements. Fur- thermore, the article will demonstrate that the Danish center-left has a big challenge when it comes to setting the political agenda through framing, but also great possibilities to improve this e ort.

As governments tighten security at public sites, businesses have become more attractive terrorist targets, with important implications for the operations and performance of multinational firms. While terrorism has been substantially studied in other fields, there has been little scholarly research to address terrorism and the distinctive challenges that it poses for IB. In this article we conceptualize terrorism in relation to IB. We provide background on the dimensions and effects of terrorism, and develop a theoretical grounding for terrorism research by drawing on the literature from IB, economics, political science, and other fields. After discussing findings from the literature review, we offer a comprehensive agenda for future research regarding the relationship between terrorism and IB. Our agenda emphasizes the effects of terrorism, organizational preparedness, company strategy and performance, global supply chain and distribution channels, and human resource issues. Our review helps establish a baseline for future empirical research. Consistent with the early stages of research, IB scholars are encouraged to offer useful perspectives and effective solutions that shed needed light on terrorism and help reduce its destructive effects for IB and multinational firms.

Recently, attention has been given to a class of network structures identified as 'small‐worlds', due to their apparent efficiency in connecting different actors through short path lengths within a relatively sparse network. Intuitively, such network structures should also be conducive for innovation due to better flows of information and the possibility of new connections between skills and ideas. While there is some ...

Using complex systems network analysis with longitudinal trade data from 1938 to 2003, this paper presents a new way to measure globalisation. It demonstrates that some important aspects of the international trade network have been remarkably stable over this period. However, several network ...

We know that in many cases, small world network structures in particular lead to improved innovation output. This paper is the first to test whether or not this finding is also true inside of large project-based firms. We study a project team with 130 members using complex network analysis. The team's project includes several innovations, and the knowledge sharing networks do have small world ...

His research interests include strategy and innovation, and especially the small world characteristics of networks. Tim Kastelle is also a senior lecturer in the same place. He applies evolutionary economics to the management of firms, viewing the economy and firms as complex evolving systems.
