    • Konkurrerende omdømmeoppfatninger : En drøfting av nordisk omdømmeforskning på offentlig sektor generelt og kommuner spesiel 

      Lockert, Åshild Skjegstad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Det er blitt vanlig i alle typer virksomheter å fokusere på eget omdømme. Ikke minst eksponeres offentlig sektor, deriblant kommuner, nå massivt for budskapet om å arbeide med – og håndtere – omdømme. Omdømmebegrepet er imidlertid svært diffust og forstås ulikt av ulike aktører. I denne artikkelen rettes oppmerksomheten mot de teoretiske perspektivene og definisjonene som benyttes for å forstå ...

      I Vardø har folk i generasjoner hatt et nært forhold til sjøfugl gjennom fangst og sanking av fugl, egg og dun. Samtidig med en dramatisk nedgang i sjøfuglbestander i fuglefjellene er den rødlista krykkja blitt en sentral del av bybildet, hvor den hekker på kaianlegg og bygg langs vågen. Bykrykkjene i Vardø inngår i en kompleks geografi av aksept, men den nye sameksistensen mellom menneske og fugl ...

      Brenton, Scott; Stein, Jonas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-16)

As these campaigns have consistently failed, this study considers how, and in which forms, local government obtains its own political legitimacy within a governance system centered on the citizen–state relationship, in addition to evaluating ...

      Aure, Marit Anne; Dauksas, Darius (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-11-10)
      Lithuanians have quite recently, and increasingly, started to emigrate to Norway. Thus, knowledge of Lithuanians in Norway is limited. This chapter asks specifically how Lithuanian labour migrants’ translocal lives in Norway play out and are linked to life in Lithuania.

      Aure, Marit; Førde, Anniken (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-02)
      Most cities, including small and medium ones, experience diverse multicultural populations. The sustainability of such diverse cities requires them to be capable of living with differences and diversity without producing new social inequalities and sustaining old ones. We argue that there is a need for a new conceptualization with which to approach cultural diversity, differences and similarities ...
    • The local impact of increased numbers of state employees on start-ups in Norway

      The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of concentrations of state employees on local growth and development.

However, other theories of regional development have shown that ...

      Røvik, Kjell Arne; Andersen, Hege (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-21)
      Background: Lean thinking as a quality improvement approach is introduced in hospitals worldwide, although evidence for its impact is scarce. Lean initiatives are social, complex and context-dependent. This calls for a shift from cause–effect to conditional attributions to understand how lean works. In this study, we bring attention to the transformative power of local translation, which creates ...

      How do social audiences negotiate and handle stigmatized organizations? What role do their heterogenous values, norms and power play in this process? Addressing these questions is important from a business ethics perspective to improve our understanding of the ethical standards against which organizations are judged as well as the involved prosecutorial incentives. Moreover, it illuminates ethical ...

      Mankova, Petia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-01)
      Narratives of globalization, conceived of as large-scale political, economic, and cultural processes flowing from metropolitan centers, often emphasize the loss of tradition and cultural originality in the remote and wild peripheries. All three television programs filmed in the past 10 years in Krasnoshchel’e, a remote Arctic village in Northwest Russia where I did anthropological fieldwork, are ...
