Aiming to fill this research gap, this study explores the implementation of a corporate environmental program in an incumbent firm and the ensuing emergence of EnM practices. Translation theory and the ... -

(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)Dagens studenter viser økt interesse for nye undervisnings- og læringsformer. Noe av forklaringen er økt fokus på 21st Century Skills (Pellegrino & Hilton, 2012) og endrede krav fra arbeidslivet til kunnskap og ferdigheter.

Institutional and financial entry barriers in a fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-18)Fishery policies over the past decades have mainly aimed at capacity reduction to preserve overexploited stocks. For that reason, research has focused on exploring incentives to exit fisheries rather than examining entry barriers. However, in quota-regulated fisheries, potential entrants might face substantial institutional and financial barriers, as opposed to incumbents, whose rights might have ... -

Risky positioning–social aspirations and risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-09)We test if positionality, i.e., the desire to gain social status, is associated with an increased willingness to take risk among backcountry riders. If positional preferences drive risk-taking behaviour in avalanche terrain, this is especially problematic because the stakes are high and can be fatal. Our analysis is based on data for hypothetical choices from an online survey (N = 648) in North ... -
Institution-based roots to fishing vessels profitability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-05)In fisheries, formal institutions are intentionally implemented to protect the stock of fish and to better adjust the fleet’s catch capacity to the resource base. The present study, however, explores how the same institutions also influence competitive forces that shape industry attractiveness and the profitability of fishing boats. The empirical context is a sample of Norwegian seagoing purse seiners ... -

Sosial distansering i dagligvarebutikker: Kundeatferd før, under og etter annonsering av koronarestriksjoner
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Sosial distansering har vært myndighetenes fremste tiltak mot smittespredning under koronapandemien (covid-19). Å distansere seg fra andre mennesker er spesielt utfordrende i butikker hvor kundestrømmen styres etter forretningsmessige prinsipper, og ikke ut fra et smittevernhensyn. Denne artikkelen belyser hvilke utfordringer et normalt bevegelsesmønster i butikker byr på med hensyn til sosial ... -
Learning communities and co-creative tourism practices in NGDO projects
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-16)In this study, we considered tourism collaboration for sustainable development as a co-creative practice of learning about tourism in order to achieve benefits for local communities. We focused on projects run by non-governmental development organisations (NGDOs) and the challenges relating to their long-term impact. These challenges concern the projects’ potential to facilitate the emergence and/or ... -
Performance differences between nations exploiting a common natural resource: The Icelandic–Norwegian mackerel case
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-25)The same type of industries, located in different nations, may perform differently in global markets. This comparative case study of the Icelandic and Norwegian mackerel industries explores whether national resources, capabilities, and institutional environments can help elucidate performance differences in exporting a common natural resource. To gain insight into the phenomenon, the present study ... -
Success or failure? Making sense of outcomes in a public sector change project
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-22)The most common method of assessing outcomes of change projects is to compare the final outcomes with predefined goals and conclude that the project has been a success, or more commonly, a failure. We question whether such simple conclusions pay due respect to complex processes. In this paper, we apply a sensemaking perspective to explore how and when outcomes of change projects are assessed. We ... -
Individual differences in functional food consumption: The role of time perspective and the Big Five personality traits
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-24)Prior research suggests inconsistent relationships between individuals’ personality traits, time perspective, and specific behavior. In a large representative sample of Norwegian consumers (<i>N</i> = 810), we investigated the relationships between the Big Five personality traits, domain-specific consideration of future consequences (CFC), and consumption of functional foods. Structural equation ... -

Etter Ukraina: fortsatt norsk-russisk idyll i grenseområdet?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-23)Etter Sovjetunionens oppløsning i 1991 gikk Europa inn i en relativt fredelig og stabil periode. På 2010-tallet endret dette seg da Russland gjenopptok sine stormaktsambisjoner. Forholdet til Vesten kjølnet, særlig etter Russlands invasjon av Krim i 2014. Også Norges bilaterale forhold til Russland er blitt forverret.<p><p> Sør-Varanger, med Kirkenes som administrasjonssenter, er den eneste ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-27)This paper will review the emergence and adoption of decision heuristics as a conceptual framework within the avalanche research and education community and demonstrate how this emphasis on the heuristic decision framework has anchored and was critical in redefining the discussion around avalanche accidents. This paradigm has been a critical and meaningful step in recognizing the importance of ... -
‘I will learn from it for as long as I live’ – religious reading and functional literacy skills
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-02)Max Weber claims in his well-known book, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, that the emergence of capitalism had its roots in the Protestant work ethic. Becker and Woessmann’s seminal 2009 paper finds that the more likely relationship between Protestantism and economic prosperity runs via literacy. They claim that Protestants unintendedly acquired literacy skills that functioned as ... -
Hospitals as professional organizations and the perception of distances
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-31)Management at a distance is increasingly employed to organize hospital resources, of which professionally skilled staff is the key component. Mergers often imply distant management. The study examines the internal management aspects for two hospitals in two consecutive mergers, 5 years apart. We focus on how geographical and cognitive distances are experienced by middle managers and their followers. ... -
Methodological issues in estimating the profit of the core catch business unit of a fishing vessel firm
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-10)In fisheries, only the strategic business unit (SBU) of a firm that exploits a common-property natural resource can yield a resource rent. Hence, we discuss issues in isolating the economic return of the catch business unit (CBU) of a fishing vessel firm based on public accounting data. Furthermore, if detailed data on the CBU are available, some of its profit may stem from financing activities. ... -
Gaining advantage by winning contests
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-20)We consider a principal who faces many identical competitors, and who can distribute a prize fund over two consecutive contests. The winner of contest one gains an advantage in contest two where his effort is more productive than all rivals. We identify a tipping point for the productivity parameter, below which it is optimal for an effort-maximizing principal to place the whole prize in the second ...
