MGI’s mission is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Its “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; natural resources; the future of work; and urbanisation. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, and the impact of the Internet. The partners of McKinsey fund MGI’s research; it is not commissioned by any business, government, or other institution.

This is best achieved by contributing to peace, security and stability both in areas adjacent to Norway and in the wider world. Nationally Norway must be in a position to uphold its sovereignty and sove- reign rights and to exercise authority in order to safeguard our interests. At the same time, the progress of globalisation means that geo- graphical distance is no longer a determining factor for potential threats to our security.

Preis: Gratis Påmelding: Terje Wølner-Hanssen, 056 290 10 51, [email protected] I N V I T A T I O N Only Scandinavian Sharks Were Used in the Making of This Film By LARRY ROHTER, New York Times, February 13, 2013 Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, who jointly directed “Kon-Tiki,” one of the five nominees for the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, came naturally to their subject, the explorer Thor Heyerdahl’s 1947 voyage across the Pacific Ocean on a balsawood raft. Friends since they were 10 years old, both men are from a small town in southern Norway that neighbors Heyerdahl’s birthplace, and as boys were enthralled when they visited the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo. At age 40, they now live, with their wives and children, a block apart in Oslo, within walking distance of the museum. “Kon-Tiki” is their third feature and second consecutive biopic, coming after “Bandidas,” with Salma Hayek and Penélope Cruz, in 2006, and “Max Manus: Man of War,” a 2008 drama about a Norwegian World War II resistance hero. But Mr. Rønning and Mr. Sandberg, who had started an advertising agency together, first came to attention, at least in the United States, as a result of their prize-winning Budweiser commercial for the Super Bowl telecast featuring Rex the Dog. They spoke by telephone last week from Los Angeles about the origins of “Kon-Tiki” and the evolution of their careers.

This written English conforms to the standard used by large institutions like the BBC and the European Union. British English Examples: programme (not program) centre (not center) harbour (not harbor – except fixed names like Pearl Harbor) neighbour (not neighbor) defence (not defense) mobile phone (not cell phone) aircraft, aeroplane (not airplane) tonnes (not tons) metres (not meter – except parking meter, etc.) kilograms (not kilogrammes) -is- / -iz- spelling Both spellings are correct, but use the -is- spelling for the sake of consistency in our texts. This is also in accordance with the EU and the BBC. Examples: organisation (not organization – except fixed names: North Atlantic Treaty Organization) globalisation (not globalization) to organise (not to organize) to recognise (not to recognize) to analyse (not to analyze) Resources: Oxford Dictionaries: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/ EU Spelling Conventions: http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-4100000.htm 3 2.

  • Keynote Speakers
    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 1 Keynote 1 From Maoritanga to Matauranga: Indigenous Knowledge Discourses Linda Tuhiwai Smith (NMM, Cinema) _______________________________________________________________________________ My talk examines the current fascination with matauranga Maori in policy and curriculum. I am interested in the way academic discourses have shifted dramatically to encompass Maori interests and ways of understanding knowledge. I explore some aspects of the development of different approaches to Maori in the curriculum and track the rising interest in matauranga (traditional Maori knowledge) through a period of neoliberal approaches to curriculum in our education system and measurement of research excellence. The Performance Based Research Fund recognises matauranga Maori as a field of research, Government research funds ascribe to a Vision Matauranga policy which must be addressed in all contestable research funds and there are qualifications, majors and subject papers which teach matauranga Maori at tertiary level. New Zealand leads the world in terms of incorporating indigenous knowledge, language and culture into curriculum. Most of the named qualifications are accredited through the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, which then owns the intellectual property of the curriculum. Maori individuals clearly play a significant role in developing the curriculum and resources. They are mostly motivated by wanting to provide a Maori-friendly and relevant curriculum. However, Maori people are also concerned more widely about cultural
