    • Social media: Where customers air their troubles—How to respond to them? 

      Sigurdsson, Valdimar; Larsen, Nils Magne; Gudmundsdottir, Hulda Karen; Alemu, Mohammed Hussen; Menon, R.G. Vishnu; Fagerstrøm, Asle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-07)
      Dissatisfied customers often use social media to voice their complaints effectively, and firms strive to find solutions about how to respond to publicly visible service failure posts. We add to the emerging literature on complaint handling via social media by examining how complaining customers on a company’s Facebook page prefer to be treated. We built on the multi-attribute product concept and ...
    • Influence of Tourism Seasonality and Financial Ratios on Hotels’ Exit Risk 

      Zhang, Dengjun; Xie, Jinghua (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-20)
      Tourism seasonality negatively affects hotels’ operational and financial performance and then survival probabilities. Several studies have evaluated the impact of tourism seasonality on hotels’ exit risk. However, the empirical findings are ambiguous, probably due to the overall seasonality and different measures used in these studies. Against this background, this study explores the impact of tourism ...
    • Tick Size and Price Reversal after Order Imbalance 

      Sirnes, Espen; Dinh, Minh Thi Hong (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-25)
      : It is well known that intraday returns tend to reverse the following intraday period, conditional on excess buying pressure on the bid or ask side. This suggests that liquidity providers “overreact” to order imbalance (OIB) by initially altering quotes so much that a negative autocorrelation is seen in mid-price returns. We investigate under which circumstances this behavior is most common. ...
    • Corporate social responsibility at lux* Resorts and hotels: Satisfaction and loyalty implications for employee and customer social responsibility 

      Ramkissoon, Haywantee; Mavondo, Felix; Sowamber, Vishnee (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-22)
      Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) remains a hot topic in management. Yet, little is known about how well managers, employees and consumers are responding to CSR initiatives to align with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Underpinned by well-established theories, this study develops a single integrative model of managers’, employees’ and consumers’ CSR. Data were collected from the ...

      Henry, Colette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-12)
      This paper critically explores a key challenge facing future entrepreneurship educators, that of content, i.e., deciding what to teach. Understanding the factors that influence the content decision could enhance the quality and effectiveness of future entrepreneurship education programmes. The paper argues that as a result of entrepreneurship education’s increased popularity, its expanding ...
    • Institutional inequality and individual preferences for honesty and generosity 

      Birkelund, Johan; Cherry, Todd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-10)
      This paper reports on an experiment that investigates how inequality in advantage affects individual preferences for honesty and generosity. In a two-stage experiment, subjects first earn money according to self-reported production, which can include honest and dishonest reports. Subjects then play the dictator game and decide how much, if any, of their earnings to share with an anonymous recipient. ...
    • Scraping the bottom of the barrel? Evidence on social mobility and internal migration from rural areas in nineteenth-century Norway 

      Moilanen, Mikko; Myhr, Sindre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-11)
      We aim to answer whether expected occupational gains motivated rural-urban and rural-rural migration in nineteenth-century Norway. Human capital theory indicates that the higher expected gains, the more prone an individual will be to migrate. We use a micro-level data set of over 42,000 rural sons linked to their fathers based on 1865 and 1900 Norwegian censuses and employ a switching endogenous ...
    • From relationship orientation to task orientation: On the digitalization of clinical leaders 

      Pettersen, Inger Johanne; Solstad, Elsa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      This paper studies how clinical leaders perceive their leadership tasks in the context of virtual interactions. We ask whether distant leadership involves a shift from relationship orientation to more task- and control-oriented leaders in hospital settings. We explore two cases involving 10 clinical leaders in a university hospital in Norway. The study indicates that the leaders were aware that lack ...
    • Powder fever and its impact on decision-making in avalanche terrain 

      Mannberg, Andrea; Hendrikx, Jordy; Johnson, Jerry; Hetland, Audun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      We examined the effect of emotions, associated with “powder fever”, on decision-making in avalanche terrain. Background: Skiing in avalanche terrain is a voluntary activity that exposes the participant to potentially fatal risk. Impaired decision-making in this context can therefore have devastating results, often with limited prior corrective feedback and learning opportunities. Previous research ...
    • Individual quotas and revenue risk of fishing portfolio in the trawl fishery 

      Alizadeh, Tannaz; Syed, Shaheen; Eide, Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)
      The Norwegian bottom-trawl fleet is managed through individual vessel quotas and is generally engaged in codfish fisheries, where several species contribute to the revenue of the fishery. The revenue from the fishing exhibits substantial intra-annual variation and carries a significant degree of risk due to the presence of intrinsic volatilities in the marine environment, such as seasonal fluctuations ...
    • Et økonomisk messi(i) 

      Bertheussen, Bernt Arne (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2021-08-08)
    • The impact of emotions on learning and motivation in producing and presenting digital stories 

      Schjelde, Tor Jørgen; Lie, Ingrid Nilsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-16)
      Researchers of digital storytelling emphasize emotions as an important aspect of learning in the production and presentation of digital stories. The aim of this study is to explore the positive and negative emotions involved in the process of making digital stories and presenting them. As well as students’ perceptions of how this affects their motivation and learning. One hundred and thirty-two ...
    • Consumers’ evaluation and intention to buy traditional seafood: The role of vintage, uniqueness, nostalgia and involvement in luxury 

      Olsen, Svein Ottar; Skallerud, Kåre; Heide, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-17)
      This study extends the understanding of the relationship between consumer motivation, involvement and evaluation of traditional food products (TFP). One important research issue was to explore whether consumers' perceived uniqueness could be one important quality or value that theoretically and empirically could differentiate TFP from ordinary, usual and “everyday” traditional food. A central location ...
    • Information system purchase and integration contingencies when companies merge 

      Engelseth, Per; Sadowski, Adam; Janusz, Artur; Awaleh, Fahad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-23)
      This study grounds empirically the purchasing and further integration of an implemented information system set in the frenzied context of a corporate merger. A single longitudinal case study from the Norwegian pelagic seafood industry provides a detailed long-term account of developing the information system prior to, during and after a merger in the seafood industry that relies on wild catch. It ...
    • Compensatory and overcompensatory dynamics in prey–predator systems exposed to harvest 

      Wikan, Arild; Kristensen, Ørjan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-11)
      Density dependent prey–predator systems under the impact of harvest are considered. The recruitment functions for both the prey and predator belong to the Deriso–Schnute family which allow us to study how the dynamical behaviour of both populations changes when compensatory density dependence turns overcompensatory. Depending on the degree of overcompensation, we show in the case of no harvest that ...
    • Rejecting Non-Paternalist Motivation: An Experimental Test 

      Chen, Xianwen; Schøyen, Øivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-29)
      Is people’s willingness to implement their fairness views on a group dependent on how many in the group share their view? We designed a new experiment to answer this question. Spectator participants were asked how many other participants they believe share their view of whether it is fair to redistribute income in a work task. They were then given the option to pay two cents to implement the ...
