This thesis is developed as part of the 3gERP project, a research project funded by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation and Microsoft. 3gERP is a consortium comprised of Copenhagen Business School (CBS), Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen (MDCC) and Datalogisk Institut Københavns Universitat (DIKU) started in 2006 and gradually winding down with the last PhD students completing their theses. The project aims to develop a standardized, flexible and configurable ERP system for small- and medium-scale Enterprises (SME). The shortcomings and errors of this work are mine and mine alone. To the extent that it advances the literature on ERP, much of that is due to the people who greatly supported me in my PhD journey. Foremost, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my primary supervisor, Prof. Niels Bjørn-Andersen, for his guidance, wisdom and obvious genuine concern for my intellectual growth and personal 4 advancement. Without a doubt, I could not have finished this work without his invaluable support. He is the quintessential professor: he is avuncular but very professional; gentle but firm; sharp of mind but not edgy; extremely knowledgeable but never impatient and condescending. I will forever treasure his insights and advice on matters concerning the academic world and life in general. Secondly, Prof. Suprateek Sarker, my secondary supervisor, also deserves much of my thanks as he was instrumental in convincing me to make the jump and pursue an academic career. Known by everyone as a tireless and awe-inspiring “publishing powerhouse,” he pushed me and challenged me to set higher goals. I also wish to acknowledge the help I received from Prof. Carsten Sørensen, my M.Sc. supervisor at the London School of Economics for his recommendations and advice; from Prof. Karlheinz Kautz, Prof. Ravi Vatrapu, and Prof. Michel Avital, who, as Ph.D. coordinators during my three years at CBS, provided me with guidance on the coursework and seminars; from Prof. Jonas Hedman, Prof. Stefan Henningsson and Dr. Philip Holst-Riis, my co-authors who patiently worked with me during the process of revising and resubmitting articles; and from Prof. Jan Damsgaard and the faculty and staff of the Department of Information Technology Management for all the administrative assistance. 5 I am also truly grateful to Prof. Pernille Kræmmergaard Jensen, Prof. Petra Schubert and Prof. Jacob Nørbjerg for their feedback during the work-in-progress seminars; to the faculty at the ECIS 2013 Doctoral Consortium, especially Prof. Jannis Kallinikos and Prof. Margunn Aanestad, for their comments, additional references and advice to narrow down the scope of this thesis; to Prof. Mitchell Stevens, the Director of SCANCOR for his support and guidance during my visiting scholarship at Stanford University and his crucial assistance in getting the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval; to Prof. James March, Prof. Stephen Barley, Prof. William Barnett and Prof. Woody Powell for the conversations and critical remarks on some of the work-in-progress papers that I discussed with them while at Stanford. I would be an ingrate if I do not give a shout-out to Dr. Greg Gimpel, Dr. Heidi Tscherning, Dr. Morten Hjelholt, and Femi Adisa, who were the more senior PhD students when I started and made my transition into the PhD program easier, and to the other PhD students Rina Hansen, Thorhildur Jetjek, Ather Nawaz, Gitte Skou Pedersen for their friendship and companionship. The collegial, almost familial, atmosphere at the Department made the journey pleasant and enjoyable for me. I cannot name them but I also want to thank all the directors and managers of the companies who have taken an interest in my project and 6 participated in the interviews; the research assistants who transcribed the interviews; and the reviewers and editors of the journals (e.g., EJIS, JAIS, JMIS, IRMJ, IJEIS) and conference papers (i.e., CENTERIS, AMCIS, ECIS, ICIS) whose critical comments allowed me to revisit some contentions and in the process strengthen my arguments. Last but definitely not least, my gratitude is eternal to my family. Without the constant support and love of my husband, Felix, and my children, Joshua and Chelsea, I would not have even pursued my PhD. I dedicate this to them because they were a big and indispensable part of this project. Having earlier pursued his Juris Doctorate, Felix understood the demands on a doctoral student and picked up my parental slack whenever and wherever needed. Joshua and Chelsea superbly put up with so many changes – without exaggeration, I confess that their flexibility, optimism and sense of adventure inspire me. 7 Abstract The potential of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to integrate the business functions of any organization has led to its proliferation since the 1990s. Arguably, ERP systems potentially enable an organization to become competitive, and their impact has since been extensively researched and debated. This thesis seeks to understand how ERP vendors have innovated and developed their business practices to ensure their own competitive advantage. The thesis consists of an overview wrapper and five articles. This work is based on a research methodology using case studies to understand the development of business practices in the ERP industry since the 1950s. As such, the thesis explores the journey of different ERP vendors that (1) were influenced by their environment, (2) participate in different structuring processes to develop their business practice; (3) adapt their business practices to produce product/service offerings potentially matching or exceeding the actions of their rivals; and (4) encounter challenges as they shift their business models. The thesis reveals that in order to continue to outlast the competition in a hypercompetitive environment, ERP vendors (1) refine their business practices, over time, through incremental and evolutionary changes impacting the ERP industry; (2) obtain a competitive advantage

    Department of Business Administration FEKH89 Bachelor Degree Project in Financial Management Undergraduate Level Autumn 2016 Private Equity Involvement in Nordic IPOs An empirical study on first-day returns and long-term performance of IPOs on the Nordic market Authors: Leo Dajakaj Tim Jacobsson Julia Wilsby Supervisor: Susanne Arvidsson ABSTRACT Title: Private Equity Involvement in Nordic IPOs - An empirical study on first-day returns and long-term performance of IPOs on the Nordic market Seminar date: 2017-01-12 Course: FEKH89, Business Administration: Bachelor Degree Project in Financial Management Undergraduate Level, 15 credits Authors: Leo Dajakaj, Tim Jacobsson, Julia Wilsby Advisor: Susanne Arvidsson Key words: IPO, Ownership Structure, First-day returns, BHAR, Long-run performance Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine whether there are any differences in the first-day returns and the long-run performance between IPOs with different ownership structures. Further, the authors have chosen a number of variables from previous studies in order to examine whether these can explain the long-run performance of IPOs on the Nordic market. Methodology: A quantitative method with a deductive approach was used in the study in order to analyze the collected secondary data. Theoretical perspectives: The previous research that has been used in this study has mainly focused on the first-day returns and long-run performance of IPOs on the US and European markets. Empirical foundation: The research is based on data from companies on Nordic stock exchanges. The data was obtained from Zephyr, Thomson Reuters Datastream, Argentum, annual reports and firm prospectuses. Conclusions: The authors find that the private equity-backed IPOs in the sample perform the best in the long-run and also have the lowest first-day returns in comparison to the venture capital-backed IPOs and the non-sponsored IPOs, however the differences are not significant.
