2008 Annual Report of Finansmarkedsfondet Report for Finansmarkedsfondet: Conference on Frontiers of Corporate Finance Organizers: Bernt Arne Ødegaard and Lorán Chollete June 20, 2013 This document summarizes the Conference on Frontiers of Corporate Finance. We approach this report in 3 steps: summary of activities; benefits to Norway and Finansmarkedsfondet, and evaluation. 1. Summary The Conference on Frontiers of Corporate Finance was held on June 13-14, 2013. The conference program is in the attached file.1 The keynote speakers were Professors Espen Eckbo from Dartmouth College, http://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/espen.eckbo/ , and David Yermack from New York University, http://people.stern.nyu.edu/dyermack/ . Both professors are internationally renowned experts in the field of corporate finance, and Directors of important Centers for Corporate Governance at their universities. This was the first time that both keynote speakers attended the same conference in Norway. The conference was motivated by outstanding challenges in corporate finance research, as well as the practical issue of understanding the exploding salaries for CEOs in North America and Western Europe versus the more sedate salary growth in Scandinavia. In particular, such rapidly increasing salaries may have been partially funded by excessively risky investments, hence precipitating the recent financial crisis. Moreover, large CEO salaries exacerbate the wealth inequality that plagues much of the global economy. We were privileged to receive participation from both Norwegian and international researchers. Norwegian participants included colleagues from the University of Bergen, University of Stavanger, and Norwegian School of Business (BI). International participants attended from City University of New York, Copenhagen Business School, Dartmouth College, Fordham University, Hunter College, and New York University. The topics concerned theoretical, empirical and policy approaches to understanding executive compensation and financial markets. This focus was timely, given the recent large changes in European legislation (“say on pay”) regarding executive compensation, as well as turbulence in financial markets. We had many lively discussions, and generated good ideas for research and policy. We also made progress on joint research projects. By all accounts, the conference was a success. The conference also generated interesting, valuable research spinoffs. Espen Eckbo and David Yermack gave extensive feedback on research of Norwegian Researchers such as Qianqian Du, Bernt Arne Ødegaard, Svein Olav Krakstad, and Danielle Zhang. In addition, the researchers from Fordham and City University New York invited Lorán Chollete to present a seminar at their universities in New York, and to discuss further improvements for future corporate finance conferences. Such spinoffs will help Norwegian research by keeping a strong international connection. To summarize, the conference and international feedback has enabled our research to flourish. We feel confident that the conference benefits will allow us to produce important scientific knowledge and add value to future projects from Finansmarkedsfondet. 2. Benefits to Finansmarkedsfondet and Norway The Conference delivered several benefits to Finansmarkedsfondet, and to Norwegian researchers. The main benefit was that by bringing together top researchers, we enriched the Norwegian intellectual environment and made progress on important scientific questions. For example, in the Conference, both of the keynote speakers, Eckbo and Yermack, outlined key issues at the very frontier of corporate finance, and suggested specific ways that young PhDs and professors can address these issues. Such hands-on advice is extremely beneficial for enhancing the level of research in Norway, and for improving the quality of research grants submitted to Finansmarkedsfondet. Another area of benefit was the conference participants’ interaction and generation of further spinoffs. For example, the participants suggested topics for future research projects, and invited each other for seminar presentations and to discuss further ideas for conferences and collaboration. This interaction provided feedback from research, funding and policy perspectives, which will enrich future Norwegian research and generate future projects for Finansmarkedsfondet. Such cross-fertilization of ideas is of both intellectual and practical benefit, and keeps Norwegian research grounded in timely, real world considerations. 3. Evaluation Our evaluation of the conference is that was a big success. It exceeded expectations for research synergies and also generated substantial dissemination of research benefits to Norwegian researchers and Finansmarkedsfondet. 1 See website http://www.uis.no/faculties-departments-and-centres/faculty-of-social-sciences/uis-business-school/events-at-the-uis- business-school/corporate-finance-conference-2013/?categoryID=11237&s=11237 . 1 Program for Frontiers of Corporate Finance Conference Organizers: Lorán Chollete and Bernt Arne Ødegaard DATES: June 13-14, 2013 LOCATION: University of Stavanger, Ellen & Axel Lunds hus H-317 Wireless network: UIS konferanse password: corpo.2013!

  • Fragmentering Eller Mobilisering? Regional Utvikling I Nordvest Er Temaet for Denne Antologien Basert På Artikler Presentert På Fjordkonferansen 2014
    Regional utvikling i Nordvest Fragmentering eller mobilisering? Regional utvikling i Nordvest er temaet for denne antologien basert på artikler presentert på Fjordkonferansen 2014. Mye har endret seg på Nordvestlandet det siste året, og forslag til flere større regionalpolitiske reformer skaper stort engasjement og intens debatt. Blant annet gjelder dette områder knyttet til samarbeid, koordinering og sammenslåinger Fragmentering eller mobilisering? av politidistrikt, byer og tettsteder, høyskoler og sykehus. Parallelt med disse politiske endringene har en halvering av oljeprisen og stenging av viktige eksportmarkeder for fisk gitt skremmeskudd til næringslivet Regional utvikling i Nordvest i regionen. Dette gjør at innovasjonsevnen blir enda viktigere i tiden framover. Viktige hindringer for innovasjon i regionale Fjordantologien 2014 innovasjonssystem kan være fragmentering (mangel på samarbeid og koordinering), «lock-in» (manglende læringsevne) og «institutional thinness» (mangel på spesialiserte kunnskapsaktører).Det er derfor Redaktørar: all grunn til å stille seg spørsmålet om hvilken retning utvikling Øyvind Strand på Nordvestlandet tar: går det mot regional fragmentering eller Erik Nesset regional mobilisering? Er Nordvestlandet fremdeles «liv laga»? Disse Harald Yndestad spørsmålene blir reist både direkte og indirekte i mange av artiklene i årets antologi. Fokuset for Fjordkonferansen er faglig utvikling med mottoet «av fagfolk for fagfolk». Formålet er å være en arena for utveksling av kunnskap og erfaringer, bidra til nettverksbygging mellom fagmiljøene i regionen og stimulere til økt publisering av vitenskapelige artikler fra kunnskapsinstitusjonene i Sogn og Fjordane og Møre og Romsdal.

Although the issues related to the motivation of entrepreneurs have been widely studied, there are a few studies focusing on the differences in women’s entrepreneurial motivation in countries with different levels of market economy development. Furthermore, existing studies on female founders mainly adapt the concepts that have often been developed in male-dominated paradigm. The purpose of this paper is to explore in depth motivations of female entrepreneurs in different contexts and discover the dissimilarities in women’s entrepreneurial motivations in countries with different levels of economic development. Design/methodology/approach – The qualitative research approach is applied in this study to explore the social-driven and profit-driven motives of female entrepreneurs. The authors have employed purposeful sampling to select cases. The authors investigated the motivations of 45 female entrepreneurs in Norway (12), Russia (21) and Ukraine (12). Semi-structured interviews were used to collect primary data. The authors have also triangulated the data collected from interviews with the data available on the internet, company reports and newspaper publications.
