The thesis focuses on how this heterogeneity of organisation is possible through a study of how decision makers deal with conflicting yet co‐ existing logics in their every day work. The field chosen for the empirical study is the recorded music industry, where two opposing logics, the artistic and the commercial, necessarily co‐exist. Through semi‐structured interviews, decision makers in the recorded music industry in the UK were asked about their work processes. Their descriptions revealed two very different ways of acting based on either the artistic logic or the commercial logic. The study further shows that even if there were some attempts to take both logics into account, all the respondents emphasised one logic over the other, but not the same logic, leading to the established major/independent duality in the structure of the field. 3 ABSTRACT IN DANISH Begrebet institutionelle logikker er blevet brugt som et fundament til at forklare, på en teoretisk måde, heterogenitet af organisation, gennem et valg mellem flere logikker. Denne phd afhandling fokuserer på, hvordan denne heterogenitet af organisation er mulig gennem en undersøgelse af, hvordan beslutningstagere håndterer modstridende, men alligevel sam‐eksisterende logikker i deres daglige arbejde. Feltet valgt til den empiriske undersøgelse er musikbranchen i Storbritannien, hvor to modsatrettede logikker, den kunstneriske og kommercielle, nødvendigvis sam‐eksisterer. Gennem semi‐strukturerede interviews blev beslutningstagere i musikbranchen i Storbritannien adspurgt om deres arbejdsprocesser. Baseret på deres beskrivelser blev to meget forskellige måder at handle på opdaget, på den ene hånd med grundlag i den kunstneriske logik og på den anden side den kommercielle logik. Endvidere argumenteres der for, at selv om der var nogle forsøg på at tage hensyn til begge logikker fremhævede alle de adspurgte en logik frem for den anden, men ikke den samme logik, der fører til den etablerede major / indipendent opdeling i branchens struktur. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The idea and plan to write a PhD thesis started at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at the University of Iceland, where I was both studying and working. I owe thanks to a lot of people there for hiring me, teaching me, supervising me, and after I started the PhD, making it possible for my visits to Iceland to be ‘working’ holidays. It was further through a Nordic project on the music industry that I was involved with at the University of Iceland that my path lead to CBS, first meeting Mark Lorenzen, and through him the rest of the Creative Industries crowd. PhD‘s are not written without guidance. During the process of writing the thesis I have had three supervisors. Peter Maskell from April 2004 to November 2008, Jesper Strandgaard Petersen from 2005 to November 2008 and Eva Boxenbaum from November 2008 to August 2009. I owe Peter great thanks for giving me the freedom to write the PhD on my own premise within a theoretical framework far from his field of study and yet always being able to challenge the theoretical constructs I came up with. Jesper I would like to thank for accepting to join the process halfway through as a co‐supervisor and for sharing his extensive knowledge of new institutional theory. Last but not least I want to thank Eva for helping me refocus my work and keeping me focused the last few meters. There are many people who have listened to me present the PhD, in PhD courses and at conferences. Some comments push the work further than others. I would like to specially thank Ed Steinmuller, Gary Libecap, Anita McGahan and Eva Boxenbaum for their comments. To all my respondents, willing to give me their time and share their experiences with me, I won’t list your names, I promised I would not. But thank YOU, without you all this would not have been possible. 5 Andy Pratt, at LSE, I would like to thank for being willing to take me in during my stay in London, and for offering his guidance in the often tedious data gathering. Back in Iceland I have some thanks to Icelandic music people for insights into the industry through strategy meetings for Samtónn and MIDEM 2006‐2007. In particular, I would like to thank Anna Hildur for all her time and patience. At the institute a lot has changed since I started my work on the PhD. The department was then IVS (which I quickly learned no one could off the top of his/her head tell you what stood for). The offices were located on three floors on Solbjergsvej. Now it is on one floor in Kilen, with a brand new name, Department of Innovation and Organizational Economics (INO). The years I have spent at CBS have been very interesting; I have learned a lot, not just academically, but also about university administration. Thank you all. In spite of these changes some things don’t change, the ‘fifth floor’ still exists in our minds, and to all its residents and visitors I would like to say thank you for facilitating the PhD by a drink or two. As always in a group of equals, there are some that are more equal than others, Theresa, Lars, Serden, and Kristina – special thanks to you. In the spirit of the ‘fifth floor’ I would further like to thank Dominic and Mark for proving that you don’t have to take yourself seriously all the time to be serious about what you do. My semester in London also provided support and friendship. Åsa, Siri, Henrik, Njörður and Vala, thanks for making the experience more than just research. At Scancor (Scandinavian Consortium for Organizational Research) I got valuable feedback on the theoretical chapter towards the end of the writing process, I would like to thank all of you who took the time to read the chapter and comment. Then there are of course those that are most important, those who have been there when the PhD seemed to cave in on me.

  • Identification of Determinants of Creative Activity Sectors Development in Polish Regions on Example of West Pomeranian Voivodship
    Human Resources Management & Ergonomics Volume VII 1/2013 IDENTIFICATION OF DETERMINANTS OF CREATIVE ACTIVITY SECTORS DEVELOPMENT IN POLISH REGIONS ON EXAMPLE OF WEST POMERANIAN VOIVODSHIP ANETA SOKÓŁ Abstract Currently, it is more and more noticeable that development of regions involves using endogenous resources and potential. Here, a significant consideration is given to development of factors of intangible nature. In this context, literature of a subject frequently presents influence of intangibles on development of regions; however, analysis of the creative sector, which significance in creating value added in the region seems to be unquestionable, is rare. In reference to aforementioned, the article is focused on presenting influence of this sector on development of Zachodniopomorskie Province. Verification of set goals was conducted based on analysis of literature of a subject and surveys conducted in the group of entrepreneurs operating in SME in the creative industries. It may be said that development of the creative sector in regions depends on many factors with direct or indirect influence. There is emphasized the significance of this phenomenon in economic processes indicating its superior role in reference to financial capital, which may be measured. For more effective development of discussed sector in Polish regions, some actions should be taken in order to increase activity of business entities acting within the creative industries on a given territory, but in particular it refers to: facilitating access to external financing sources of research and development operations, creating function of Ambassadors of Creativity, supporting development of infrastructure/tools, which allow development of a creative sector, supporting development of the information society, focusing scientific research environment on the purpose of creativity development, promoting cooperation of world of scientists with world of a creative sector, propagating benefits resulting from cooperation within creative sectors among business entities, etc.
