  • Creating Scandinavian Capitalism” – a New International Business History Course
    Paper to the EBHA conference in Frankfurt 2005 “Creating Scandinavian Capitalism” – a new international business history course Draft – please do not quote from this edition By Martin Jes Iversen, Assistant Professor, Centre for Business History, Copenhagen Business School Introduction In March 2005 the H-Business internet web forum for business historians hosted an interesting and intensive on-line debate. The debate concerned the position of business history courses on business schools and the problem of integrating the field in to more traditional business schools programmes. It was the H-net editor David A. Kirsch who made the first reference to an article by David Van Fleet and Daniel Wren entitled “Teaching History in Business Schools, 1982-2003” published in the journal Academy of Management Learning and Education.1 Kirsch referred to some of Van Fleets and Wrens conclusions, and they were indeed not edifying news for the business historical researchers on H-business:2 - the teaching of history in domestic business schools has dropped (from 79% to 51%). - among those that say history is now part of their programs, in 2003 most feel that it should not be, whereas in 1982 most felt that it should be. - respondents from accredited institutions felt that less history of management thought should be taught In order to underscore the point David A. Kirsch also mentioned a few survey responses which Van 3 Fleets and Wrens had received from American business schools: 1 Van Fleet and Wren (2005) 2 Ibid., p. 47. 3 Ibid. P. 51. 1 - we have eliminated teaching history in favour of courses that better prepare our students for scholarly research...it is less important than other topics and we had to make trade-offs given the limited number courses students take while in the program.

  • Fjordenhus, First Building by Acclaimed Artist Olafur Eliasson and His Studio, Opens in Vejle, Denmark
    Fjordenhus, first building by acclaimed artist Olafur Eliasson and his studio, opens in Vejle, Denmark - For immediate release - 1 June 2018 Photo: Anders Sune Berg, 2018 Fjordenhus (Fjord House), the first building designed entirely by artist Olafur Eliasson and the ar- chitectural team at Studio Olafur Eliasson, will open on 9 June in Vejle, Denmark. Commissioned by KIRK KAPITAL, the company’s new headquarters offer a contemporary interpretation of the idea of the total work of art, incorporating remarkable site-specific artworks by Eliasson with spe- cially designed furniture and lighting. Rising out of the water, Fjordenhus forges a striking new connection between Vejle Fjord and the city centre of Vejle—one of Jutland peninsula’s thriving economic hubs. As one moves from the train station towards the harbour, Fjordenhus comes into view across the expansive plaza of the man-made Havneøen (The Harbour Island), a mixed-use residential and commercial area cur- rently in development. From here, residents and visitors can access the ground floor of Fjordenhus via a footbridge or stroll along the jetty designed by landscape architect Günther Vogt. The building’s public, double-height entrance level is dedicated to the relation of the building to the water, drawing attention to the plane where the structure plunges beneath the surface, its curved edges framing glimpses of the surrounding shores and harbour. The building is permeated by the harbour itself, and its two aqueous zones are visible from viewing platforms. Both the architectural spaces and Eliasson’s artworks engage in a dialogue with the ever-changing surface of the water.

  • Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S
    Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S Master Thesis – Finance and Strategic Management 30th of September 2011 Cand. merc. FSM Department of Finance Copenhagen Business School Author: Andri Stefánsson Supervisor: Carsten Kyhnauv Strategic and Financial Valuation of Carlsberg A/S Executive summary The main objective of this thesis was to determine the theoretical fair value of one Carlsberg A/S share on the 1st of March 2011. Carlsberg A/S is the world´s 4th largest brewery measured in sales volume and has acquired this position both through organic growth as well as acquisitions of its competitors as a part of the consolidation phase that the brewing industry has undergone in the past 10 years. In order to obtain the necessary understanding of the company´s business model, a strategic analysis was carried out both on an external as well as on an internal level. The strategic analysis showed that Carlsberg has a very strong product portfolio and one of its main strengths was innovation in regards to new products targeting new market segments. Being the 4th largest brewery in the world creates great economies of scale which are of importance. The strategic analysis also showed that the political and economical situation in Russia is of most threat to Carlsberg. The strategic analysis was followed by a financial analysis which showed that all key financial drivers rose upon till 2008 when the recent economic crisis hit and Carlsberg at the same time acquired Scottish & Newcastle. From 2009 the key financial drivers showed improvements both due to Carlsberg being able to make use of the synergies created as a part of the acquisition along with an increase in revenue and lower borrowing costs.
