For the Ict Sector in North Jutland THE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES FOR THE ICT SECTOR IN NORTH JUTLAND Christian Østergaard Richter Pedersen PhD Thesis - February 2005 Department of Business Studies, Aalborg University Preface In July 2001 I started as a PhD student at the IKE Group at Aalborg University partly financed by the Digital North Denmark policy programme. I joined Aalborg University’s participatory research group who was to carry out research in relation to this programme. I have benefited from this context, but it has also affected the content and size of this thesis. The writing of this thesis has in many respects depended on help and support from, and interaction with many people. Firstly, I want to thank Bent Dalum for inspiring and good supervision during my period as a PhD student. Secondly, I would like to thank Bent Dalum, Gert Villumsen, and especially Michael Dahl for many talks, discussions, and co-authoring of papers that have resulted in (forthcoming) publications in journals, such as Research Policy, Journal of Engineering and Technology Management, European Urban and Regional Studies, and several book chapters. However, this would not have been possible without the learning and supportive environment of the IKE group. I have benefited greatly from interaction with members of this group. The IKE group and the DRUID conferences have provided an international research training ground for me and given me the opportunity to present my work, receive valuable feedback, and meet other researchers with similar interests. During the years as a PhD student I have experienced personal development, been travelling, and participated actively in the international research community, e.g. through the ETIC doctoral courses in Maastricth and Strasbourg, the ESSID summer school at Corsica, my visit at Haas School of Business at Berkeley, the CCC colloquium in Atlanta, the EU-TSER project TENIA, and more importantly my six-month stay at SPRU at University of Sussex in Brighton in 2003. A special thanks to my friends at SPRU. I also wish to thank the participants at my pre-defence December 17th 2004 for valuable comments that added to my frustrations, but definitely improved the final thesis. Many thanks to Lars Anderson, Nils Østbjerg, and the rest of the IT staff for providing good IT support, and to the IKE secretaries Dorte Køster and Jeanette Hvarregaard for helping me with many practicalities that have hindered my work. Finally, I want to thank Lena and my family for supporting and encouraging me in writing this thesis, and during my many travels.

Introduction Unemployment was high in Denmark during the 1980s and 90s, reaching a record level of 12.3% in 1994. Consequently, there was a perceived need for new actions and policies in the combat of unemployment, and a law Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) was enacted in 1994. The instated policy marked a dramatic regime change in the intensity of active labour market policies. After the reform, unemployment has decreased signi…cantly –in 1998 the unemploy- ment rate was 6.6% and in 2002 it was 5.2%. TABLE 1. UNEMPLOYMENT IN DANISH COUNTIES (EXCL.

    The Danish Design Industry Annual Mapping 2005 Copenhagen Business School May 2005 Please refer to this report as: ʺA Mapping of the Danish Design Industryʺ published by IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at Copenhagen Business School. CBS, May 2005 A Mapping of the Danish Design Industry Copenhagen Business School · May 2005 Preface The present report is part of a series of mappings of Danish creative industries. It has been conducted by staff of the international research network, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics, (www.druid.dk), as part of the activities of IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at the Copenhagen Business School (www.cbs.dk/imagine). In order to assess the future potential as well as problems of the industries, a series of workshops was held in November 2004 with key representatives from the creative industries covered. We wish to thank all those who gave generously of their time when preparing this report. Special thanks go to Nicolai Sebastian Richter‐Friis, Architect, Lundgaard & Tranberg; Lise Vejse Klint, Chairman of the Board, Danish Designers; Steinar Amland, Director, Danish Designers; Jan Chul Hansen, Designer, Samsøe & Samsøe; and Tom Rossau, Director and Designer, Ichinen. Numerous issues were discussed including, among others, market opportunities, new technologies, and significant current barriers to growth. Special emphasis was placed on identifying bottlenecks related to finance and capital markets, education and skill endowments, labour market dynamics, organizational arrangements and inter‐firm interactions. The first version of the report was drafted by Tina Brandt Husman and Mark Lorenzen, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics (DRUID) and Department of Industrial Economics and Strategy, Copenhagen Business School, during the autumn of 2004 and finalized for publication by Julie Vig Albertsen, who has done sterling work as project leader for the entire mapping project.

  • Logistics Flows (Report)
    Logistics flows (Report) The District Logistics Analysis - Logistics flows It is necessary to distinguish between four main types of logistical flows in a regional perspective: internal, incoming, out going and transit. Each of these types of flows have different ways of organisation and therefore also different localisation of decision-making. The localisation of different types of actors in a logistical chain or system is of great importance to identify, if one wants to develop alternative (future) strategies and implement them. Only actors with "hands on the issue" can provide researchers with relevant knowledge and commit themselves to actually implement relevant strategies. In a short way, it can be hypothesised that incoming freight logistical flows are organised differently than flows leaving a particular region. If, as an example, the producing firms of a commodity in general organise the transport to the customer of this commodity, then the localisation of an important decision-making actor (the transport buyer) is differently located, whether the freight flows are incoming or out going of a particular region. This aspect is relevant in terms of the objectives of the INNESTO-project that intends to identify local actors, which impose influence on the shaping of future sustainable districts. The transit logistical flow reflect a third and distinct form of transport, that affect a local territory. Primarily, the logistical flow in transit affects a local territory by its negative externalities (e.g. environmental load, infrastructure costs). But, local decision-makers have apparently no or limited possibilities to affect the transit freight transport. In the following sections, data on these three types of logistical flows will be presented, in order to concretise the size and character of the logistical flows of Viborg County.
