The importance of entrepreneurial identity, or how entrepreneurs see themselves and their business ventures, is highlighted in effectuation theory as one of the means that drives entrepreneurial action and is seen as important for entrepreneurs’ perceived opportunity space. The study is an explorative single-case study of a Norwegian accelerator targeting new ventures. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven entrepreneurs who had recently participated in the accelerator. The findings indicate that the accelerator had an impact on entrepreneurial identity, both at the individual and team levels and on start-up identity. Participation in the program also influenced related factors, such as business model development and customer- and capital access. The impact on identity varied according to how the entrepreneurs saw themselves pre-participation and how far...

Networks have received considerable attention in the literature and are perceived to enhance the likelihood of innovation success by overcoming resource and capability deficiencies. While previous studies of collaborate innovation in the food sector have been mostly qualitative case studies of one or a few networks, we compare 96 networks which were all structured according to the same network template. After content-analysing archive data, we estimated a vector-generalised linear model with binomial response distributions and probit link functions; with network composition as the predictor and the innovation process charateristics and outcomes as response variables. Our findings show that differently composed manufacturer networks lead to different outcomes and different process characteristics. We find that strong management and coordination of activities are more importa...

Mens tidligere studier har vaert opptatt av organisert tillitsvalgtopplaering i regi av fagforeningene, fokuserer vi i denne artikkelen pa laeringsprosessene hos tillitsvalgte i forbindelse med utovelse av vervet. Artikkelens teoretiske utgangspunkt er personlige laeringsbaner og laering i praksisfellesskap. Det metodiske utgangspunktet er selvstudier i praksisfelt, der datamaterialet er basert pa egne laeringserfaringer som tillitsvalgte og en undersokelse i et lokallagsstyre i en fagforening i norsk universitets- og hogskolesektor. Artikkelen gir bidrag til kunnskap om hvordan tillitsvalgte laerer gjennom losing av arbeidsoppgaver og hvordan kunnskap deles i lokallaget. English abstract The topic of this article is to discuss how union representatives acquire and share knowledge relevant to attend his/her role. While earlier studies have focused on formal education programs organized by the unions, this...

Firms perceived a cooperation to contribute to business results if the cooperation had led to increased sales or made the firm more resilient to market fluctuations. Firms perceived a cooperation to contribute to destination development if the cooperation had led to new knowledge, improved customer satisfaction, and hat not simply helped improve operations. The findings demonstrate the interconnectedness of intermediate and ultimate relationship outcomes on firm and destination level. The study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of network relations, relevant to the literature...

Kafedialogen ble brukt som verktoy i emnet «verdibasert ledelse», der et av laeringsmalene er a sette studentene i stand til a forsta og bruke ulike perspektiver pa sammensatte problemstillinger i forbindelse med ledelse av organisasjoner. Studien indikerer at kafedialogen forte til okt problemforstaelse og okt engasjement hos studentene. Vi opplevde at det okte engasjementet vedvarte i forelesningene som ble gjennomfort etter kafedialogen. Abstract This article discusses “cafe dialogue” as an educational tool for learning. A cafe dialogue is a unique form of organised structured verbal cooperation in groups. It is considered useful when the aim is to facilitate increased understanding of complex problems, and has been used with success in both business and community development p...

Research methods: Applying a case methodology, the sponsorship object was the Norwegian National CrossCountry Skiing Team, and the sponsor was Aker, a major international corporation involved in fishing, offshore construction and engineering. By means of mixed methods, qualitative data were collected from 10 employees and then, quantitative data from 544 employees were used to test the hypotheses. Results and Findings: The findings show that the user-friendliness of the healthcare portal, and the attitude towards the health care program are significant predictors of employees' sponsorship-based motivation to do physical exercises. These findings held when controlling for sex, education, income, portal usage, and physical activity level. Implications: These findings have practical implications for sponsors and the use of sponsorships as a strategic tool to improve employee matters. 'The Internal CSR and Sponsorship-linked Health Care Strategy Model' is presented. This paper establishes connections between internal sponsorship activation, employee health care program, and their motivation to do physical exercise.
