In March 28, 2011 Anand lost to a 10 yr old junior player from Uzbekistan in a simul match. The Teenager was rated 1900. Check out the article in chessvibes.com
Here is the game. Anand, Viswanathan vs Igonin, Temur 0-1 Simul 2011.3.28
1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g3 g6 4. Bg2 Bg7 5. Nf3Nge7 6. O-O O-O 7. d3 d6 8. Rb1 f5 9. Bd2 h6 10. b4 g5 11. b5 Nd4 12. Nxd4 exd4 13. Nd5 Nxd5 14. Bxd5+ Kh8 15. a4 f4 16. a5 Rb8 17. Qc2 Bh3 18. Rfc1 fxg3 19. hxg3 Qf6 20. Be1 h5 21. c5 h4 22. cxd6 hxg3 23. f3 Qxd6 24. Be4 Qf4 25. Bd2 Qh426. e3 Bg2 0-1
If the kid had been 1400, you might have a point.
Yes obviously. But if the Thread was changed to " Can a 1900 rated kid beat a world champ?" would that be a yes?
Is there any chance that a 1300 rated player could beat a 2700 rated player"
Of course there is a "chance". I once was attacked by a kick boxer and two other guys and I cam out on top. Most anything is possible.
I would guess it has already happened in a simul.
I think you're missing the point. It's not that a 1300 player is worse than a random move generator but that a 1300 will never beat a 2700 because the 1300 will always make roughly 1300 level type moves whereas at least a random move generator has a (minisculely) small chance of randomly emulating 2700 level play
Magnus became a GM at the age of 13. He was over 2500 then.
you clearly have no idea of the game tree complexity of chess.
well that was why I wrote miniscule! :) Admittedly you'd have to run the random move generator for much longer than the estimated life span of the universe but...
Ahah, you have a point then!
now that I think about it a 1300 player has many chances to make moves that worsen his position. E.g. overextending pawns, going for silly attacks, etc.
exactly! as the person who originally made the point said, a little knoweledge can be a dangerous thing!
To quote Dumb and Dumber:
Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together? Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really... Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances? Mary: Not good. Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred? Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million. [pause] Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*
Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together? Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really... Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances? Mary: Not good. Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred? Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million. [pause] Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*
And a much better chance than our friend the 1300 in his ambition to knock off one of the top 51 players in the world.
Once again, although there is a possible disadvantage that the 1300 would have compared to the RMG, there are also advantages to being a 1300 as well. For example, a 1300 would be more likely to exploit extremely simple blunders. Moreover, he might find a great move, even if it was for the wrong reasons.
So although there was a valid concern raised about the 1300 not having the moves in the hat to make the right move, you can't know if it would actually apply, without making assumptions.
And of course, I also have to make assumptions or guesses when it comes to my opinion.
Similar to the chances of Jamaica beating Canada at ice hockey I'd say....you would need 20 canadian players to freakishly break their legs in the first quarter, and then see if Jamaica could catch up a 40 odd goal defecit with no opposition in 45 minutes. Would love to see that!
It could be possible when the 2700 plays against 25 or 30 players in exhibition. The pace is very fast. Each player has 5 or 10 minutes to concentrate while the pro has only seconds. Running boards after boards, he can't make any plans and probably can't remember the last move. Some of the players should win and good chances there's 1300 or even less in that gang... But in a real game, it's something else...
I've watched a 2500 take on thirty players, and yes he loses a few, but these are to 1700s, not 1300s. 2700s are in the top 51 in the world. They eat 2500s for lunch.
Look I don't think the original question was meant to address whether a 2700 might lose to a 1300 if they're playing 150 people simultaneously and the GM gets 1 second to think about their moves and the 1300 gets an hour. The original question was whether a 1300 rated player could ever defeat a 2700. The answer is yes in theory but no in the real world.
The answer is no in theory, no in the real world, but within the realm of random possibility given that a 2700 could be drunk or have a stroke.
I imagine about the same chance a 6 year old has of beating an adult in a fist fight

Save your game first unless you want to lose the stats that you have just increase.
1. Press Ctrl+Alt+C
2. Now type in "move_objects on" in the green box.(no quotations)
3. Go to buy mode and click on you sim and delete him.
4. Now when you return click on your sims face in the bottom bar. He will return with full bars.
Now you can study for a handfull of hours and then save otherwise you will lose your stats. Then just do it again. This makes gaining stats way easier.

Invite the person over using the phone. Then greet them and call them into the house. Pause the game. *make sure husband/wife and children are not home.* *If Neighbor will not come in, use move_objects on code and put them inside the house* Go into buy mode and delete all doors to outside. I had a swimming pool, so since it had thing around it that could only be outside, after I got them I made walls around it and made a indoor pool area. Anyway, since you deleted the doors, now both Sims are stuck there. I brought my child in, but let the guy die. Sims dont have to leave for work, just use the rosebud code. *not fully tested, but you can trap in a neighbor*
When you are in lot,enable cheat window pressing crtl+shift+c.Type in moveObjects on.Then,build walls(when in empty lot),or delete front and rear door(when in a unoccupied lot with house).When you have builded walls,go to miscellianous build objects,and select garage icon.Choose the garage door(change color if desired).Put the door in wall.You can put garage doors in house for rooms(bathroom,etc...).At end,you have a home not the same others,because you have garage doors.
Before your Sims leave, buy a 'Justa Bath Tub' and have them take a bath.*if they are about to miss the ride, just use move_objects on to put a barrier infront of the car/bus.* When they get in, pausee the game and go to buy mode.Delete the tub they are in. When you come back, they will be gone. Click on their pic. and they will appear somewhere in the house, most-likley the bathroom. Then send them to there ride, and all the stats will be full-green except Room.* romove barrier infront of car.*
to get clothes that you want your sim to have (grim reaper,maid,robber) that you can't get normally, go to create a family, but before you type in a last name, do shift-n(not at the same time) and you will have all sorts of new clothes!
Have your Sim break something and have the repair man come. As he starts to leave, build a very small room around him, only big enough for him to stand. After two or so Sim days he will die and his ghost will be around to fix anything broken.

More and more indebted Australians are turning to debt agreements as an alternative to filing for bankruptcy - but consumer credit rating experts warn it's not an easy way out
Brokers are being urged to come together to protest the 'unfair' practice of clawbacks
Genworth Australia has announced the appointment of Paul Fegan as its new chief financial officer (CFO), effective today.

Since 2009, Fegan has been a non-executive director of AMP Limited and in 2010 became chairman of the board audit committee.
Genworth's president and CEO, Ellie Comerford, says she's pleased with Fegan's appointment.

Review: 'Camelot' still casts a magical spell
It's always fun to attend a musical at Vashon High School, and the school's current production of "Camelot" is no exception — the show's cast is filled with talented teens, tearing up the stage and singing up a storm as they bring the pageantry of King Arthur and his court to life.
It's a show that requires the kids to stretch their theatrical muscles and twist them into the shape of a time gone by.
Many of the cast members are veterans of VHS' 2009 production of "Fame," and last year's stellar "A Chorus Line." But those two more contemporary musicals seem sophisticated descendents of "Camelot" — a Lerner and Lowe chestnut that opened on Broadway in 1960 starring Richard Burton, Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet, and later became a big-budget Hollywood movie with Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero.
The musical tells the stirring story of an idealistic medieval king who toils to usher in a more enlightened era, only to see his dreams shattered when his beloved queen and favorite knight fall hopelessly in love.
It's impossible for me to write this review without mentioning that I saw the film when I was 9 or 10 years old, and became completely fixated on it.
In my tender years, I listened to the cast album thousands of times, the result being that every note in the score of "Camelot" is deeply, forever carved into my brain.
We don't choose our obsessions, they choose us, but if I had to guess why "Camelot" came calling on me, it was because I had never seen two more beautiful people in my life than Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero. Instant enchantment.
Why my parents would subsequently allow me to hole up for months next to the speakers of our giant console stereo, wearing out the grooves of a record filled with songs about treachery, treason and adultery is another intriguing question — one I think I found the answer to while watching VHS' production.
I discovered that there were lots of things I had forgotten about "Camelot" — things that actually do make it a very family-friendly show.
There is a fantastically comic character, King Pellinore, played with perfect timing by Alec Spencer, who doesn't sing a single note, but contributes in a crucial way to the story and brings lots of belly laughs to the proceedings.
Another character who doesn't sing is the wizard Merlin, played with aplomb by Ryan Devlin. And how could I have forgotten the character of Morgan Le Fey, a forest fairy whose love of candy helps bring down Arthur's empire? Allie Hansen's turn as the gluttonous and feckless Le Fey is a delight.
Two of the leading actors in the show are well-known to Vashon theater audiences.
Anna Rose Warren lights up the stage as the lovely Queen Guenevere, and Sage Everett brings a royal bearing to his portrayal of Arthur.
But the real discovery of the show is Marshall Montgomery, who plays the role of Lancelot. This is Montgomery's stage debut, but you'd never know that from the way he so completely inhabits his character and gives his all to the audience. Bravo!
My only quibble is that "Camelot" doesn't have enough juicy roles for all the talented kids at the high school.
Isaac George, who has a high, clear tenor voice and lots of dancing skills, has only one tiny solo — a disappointment to his fans like me.
But it was the girls who really got short shrift in the show.
Zoey Rice has an all-too-brief appearance in the show as the enchantress Nimue, filling the theater with a superb rendition of the song, "Follow Me."
And I counted 26 other young ladies in the chorus — many of whom I've seen in leading roles in shows and dance productions around town. It's a pity that here they were pretty much confined to parading on and off the stage in period costumes.
But then again, selfishly, I'm glad "Camelot" was chosen as this year's musical. After all these years, there is still a part of me that is a bit obsessed with the timeless legend of King Arthur, Lancelot and Guenevere. See "Camelot," and I bet you'll understand why.
— Elizabeth Shepherd is arts editor of The Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber.
"Camelot" runs through March 27, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Ticket prices vary from $10 to $12, except for Saturday, March 19, when tickets are $15 for a benefit for Rotary service projects.

The Cincinnati Bengals can win the Super Bowl.
The NFL is known for parity, but it hasn't been too often that Cincinnati has put together a team in the past 10 years capable of lifting the Lombardi Trophy.
The Bengals were one of the hottest teams in the NFL in 2005. Then Carson Palmer went down in the playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati was never able to again reach those heights.
It's now without Palmer that the team is enjoying another period of success. In addition, his exit has set the Bengals up offensively for possibly the next decade.
When Palmer refused to play, rookie Andy Dalton took the reins, and the former TCU Horned Frog hasn't looked back. He led Cincinnati to the playoffs last year, only to lose in the Wild Card Round to the Houston Texans.
This is a different year, and the Bengals are a much-improved team.
They might not have the kind of talent that the Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons or New England Patriots have, but in a do-or-die situation Cincinnati can more than hold its own.
Here's six reasons why the Bengals can be successful in the playoffs.

It seemed to Bé a professional Person renting THE accommodation, not a private Person. Had to wait For long time before we Could enter THE apartment. And that was not a very Nice apartment.... Bit disappointed
Mr Schilling is a very kind and helpful person. He gave us all sort of information for a pleasant stay in Prague (how to deal with restaurants, public transportations, money exchange shops, shopping...). He was also very kind in providing an hair drier and an extra pillow on request. The apartment is nice and confortable. We had a great time there! As info for further guests: if he does not answer immediately when ringing to the bell, just call him on the provided phone number. We this happened to us, he joined us in 2 minutes after our call. We can definitely suggest this place!
Good apartment, good area and well connected with the old town and the center of Prague.
The best of the apartment is the area in which is located. You have everything nearby. Bernard was very kind to us. I think you should invest some money on improvements because you could get out fantastic.You need to change and reform the bathroom furniture. If this improvement is a highly recommended apartment.
The localization is great, near to everything by foot. The flat is comfortable. Bernhard is very nice and helpful man. He is a trustworthy host. Thank you Bernhard for everything.
A nice, centrally located apartment near the old town. Bernhard is a wonderful, helpful host. I forgot my passport at the apartment, and he sent it to me by mail. A trustworthy person! We would definitely hire this apartment again!
It is in the centre of Prague, so you do not have to take public transport to reach your destination.
Good stay for that kind of money !
We had a great time in Prague. The route to the appartement from the train station was perfect and Bernhard made time for a great explanation of the apartment, the city, highlights, tips en tricks and restaurants en shoppings. The WIFI was great! The apartment is near a great shopping centre, everything you need can be bought there.
It was clean, great shower and a coffee machine :-)
Thanks for your hospitality!!
The place alone is quite nice. Bernhard is friendly, he even gave us tips on where and abouts of the place. Although the internet in the apartment is quite slow, we cannot share the pics we had instantly in social media. The adjacent abandoned building in front of the building where our apartment is quite annoying and such an eyesore.The apartment is on the 4th floor if I remembered it right, they dont have elevator. but everything else was fine for us

The Rules Of The Game As They Develop In Trier's And Leth's The Five ObstructionsRaffnsøe, Sverre (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Released in 2003 by internationally renowned Danish directors Lars von Trier and Jørgen Leth, The Five Obstructions is a short film, 88 minutes long. As will be evident, however, this 'minor' work is also a unique, dense, multi-layered, and intriguing piece of art, with a wide range of implications. A film-experiment that permits us to follow its own genesis in the making, The Five Obstructions presents itself both as a documentary and a feature production, as it renders the construction of a previously inexistent fictitious work. Being the result of a contest between two auteurs, the work permits us to follow a power game in detail as it develops. In addition, the film may be viewed as a collaborative cinematic experiment, concerning, experimenting with and challenging, not only received rules of film making, but also our conception of rules and creativity in a broader sense.

Anxiety and entrepreneurship in a bureaucracySigurdarson, Hallur Tor (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Since the early 1980s there has been a call for entrepreneurship and innovation in the public sector. The call became an international discourse with considerable implications for public administration. Accordingly, bureaucracy is a ubiquitous hindrance for entrepreneurial practices and many of the solutions proposed for public sector bureaucracy draw on research and practices in the private sector and are guided by economic rationality. Instead of adopting this common critique and its set of solutions, in this dissertation a different approach is developed to enquire into the capacity of a bureaucratically organised Ministerial Department to entrepreneur. The approach involves an emphasis on local practices, affects and movements in an ethnographically inspired study. The result is also an idea – local and contextual – of the relationship between entrepreneurship and bureaucracy, which is distant from the entrepreneurship/bureaucracy dichotomy.

Junghagen, Svend; Besjakov, Simon D.; Lund, Anders A. (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show in what way football clubs in smaller leagues with limited capacity utilisation can increase their per-game revenue by increasing the attendance frequency. A sequential mixed method research design was employed, involving both qualitative and quantitative methods, studying two clubs: Malmö FF in Sweden and FC København in Denmark. In order for the subject clubs to increase the attendance frequency of the spectators, these must be moved towards a higher level of the Psychological Continuum Model. The quantitative phase was comprised of a survey distributed at three separate occasions for each of the subject clubs. Four segments were identified to be of particular interest, two from each of the subject clubs. The two segments defined for Malmö FF were termed Entertainment Seeking Families and the Price Conscious Group of Friends. The two segments defined for FCK were termed Price Sensitive Experience Hunters and Family Focused Fans. It is shown how the two clubs can provide tailored experiences specifically designed towards the identified attendant segments. In doing so, an increased range of psychological associations will be created in the minds of the attendants, thus strengthening the psychological connection, increasing the likelihood of upwards movement in the psychological continuum and rate of attendance.

Towards a Relational Perspective on Incubating PracticesHenriques, Christine Thalsgård (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The world wants more entrepreneurs so badly, that it has become a major priority of governments all over the world trying to produce them. Based on Industrial PhD collaboration between the Danish Science Park, Symbion A/S and Copenhagen Business School, this dissertation presents a unique opportunity to study how the interactions between technology-based entrepreneurs and an Accelerator programme may lead to increased entrepreneurial capacity, learning and growth. The Industrial PhD setting offers privileged access to entrepreneurs, advisors, incubator management and investors, and we get to listen to stories seldom told in this field. As follows, the write-up of the ethnographic fieldwork is a narrative multi-voiced analysis in search of entrepreneurial learning in an incubator context. The phenomenon of business incubation – in this dissertation referred to as incubating activities - is originally intended as a forum that is shielded off from the everydayness of things, with the purpose of adding resources and removing barriers to venture creation. The idea is that entrepreneuring actors will be offered complementary resources and forced to spend time on planning and strategies in a helicopter perspective, which in the end will benefit the process and make venture success more likely. Policy makers together with researchers of entrepreneurship policy and incubation, to a large degree assume that entrepreneurial actors somehow lack skills and resources and cannot easily acquire these themselves, and furthermore that it is possible to affect the resources, behaviour and skills of entrepreneurs. It has nevertheless been shown that enhancing entrepreneurial growth from support activities is not as easy, even if the intentions are good and the resources invested considerable (Blackburn and Schaper 2012, Bruneel et al. 2012, Mason and Brown 2013). It is also taken for granted that entrepreneurs are open to learning and foreign intervention (help and support). This study shows that this is not always the case. Hence, the dissertation explores a highly political and delicate matter touching upon the legitimacy of business incubation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9305

Lunde Jørgensen, Ida (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The thesis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of art support by investigating the underlying legitimations and institutional logics of two of the most significant foundations supporting visual art, in Denmark, the private New Carlsberg Foundation and public Danish Arts Foundation. Drawing on insights from neo-institutional and French convention theory, the thesis makes its central contributions within the fields of neo-institutional theory, cultural policy and philanthropy studies. The first paper shows the suitability of neo-institutional theory, particularly the theories of isomorphism, cultural and institutional entrepreneurship, institutional logics, and rhetorical work to address a number of key debates in cultural policy pertaining to the evaluation of aesthetic performance, the justification of investment in the arts and how ideas and meanings become taken for granted in the cultural policy field. In addition, the first paper theorizes the wider field of cultural policy, suggesting twelve institutional arenas where cultural policy is unfolded, of which the thesis focuses on public and private foundations. In the second paper, the thesis focuses on uncovering the key legitimations of art support in the New Carlsberg Foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation at critical points in time, drawing on and contributing to the literature on institutional logics and convention theory. Specifically, the thesis shows the importance of nine particular logics of legitimation underlying art support; the industrial, market, inspired, family, renown, civic, projective, emotional and temporal. Most central to the foundations' operation are the professional (industrial), artistic (inspired) and civic logics. The thesis shows that the invocations of these logics are highly reflective upon wider societal institutions, prevailing institutional logics, the nature of the critical moment and the organisations' practices and purpose. In the third paper the thesis hones in on the temporal logic, and draws attention to the micro-level use of this logic, which suggests that logics are invoked in characteristic ways. The third paper illuminates five distinctive uses of the past in the New Carlsberg Foundation, pertaining to the charter, the founding family, place, the moment and anecdotes and importantly shows that while some of these uses are reflected and instrumental, others are institutionalised and show propensity towards institutional reification.

En kvalifikation af ledelsesmuligheder for at forebygge sygefravær ved psykiske problemerSteen Pedersen, Pernille (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Sygefravær på grund af psykiske problemer udgør op mod halvdelen af det samlede sygefravær på det danske arbejdsmarked. Ledelsesindsatser er afgørende for at forebygge sygefravær ved psykiske problemer, viser flere undersøgelser. Imidlertid mangler der forskningsbaseret viden om, hvordan ledelse kan bidrage i denne henseende. Et udbredt dogme synes at være, at medarbejderens fysiske og mentale sundhed er et ledelsesansvar. Heraf følger f.eks., at medarbejderens selvværd og mentale robusthed bliver anset som et vigtigt omdrejningspunkt for ledelsesindsatser. Udgangspunktet for afhandlingen har imidlertid været at undersøge, om der findes ledelsesmuligheder, der ikke indebærer en udvidelse af lederrollen til også at omfatte aktiviteter, der kan sammenlignes med terapeutiske indsatser. Dette giver anledning til spørgsmålet: "Hvilken ledelsesopgave kan knyttes til forebyggelse af sygefravær ved psykiske problemer?" URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9277

Rethinking practice, problems and possibilitiesHjordrup, Sanne K. (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This industrial PhD is about talent management. More specifically, it is about how the customer relationship becomes a source of value and value creation for the company through the practice of talent management, a key strategic HR initiative. Talent management is a costly activity in terms of both time and money. Nevertheless, talent management is an HR practice that is virtually taken for granted in any company of a certain size. This is the case because it is assumed to be a value-adding initiative and believed to be a key strategic HR initiative, in particular for large global organisations, to remain competitive. This dissertation suggests that talent management practices are not necessarily as value-adding as is the long-standing assumption, and thus challenges prevailing notions of what constitutes valuable talent management. It argues the need to rethink the practice of talent management to ensure that it adds a level of value that justifies the amount of attention and resources spent on it. The dissertation examines what the implications are for talent management when a company introduces a customer focus as a way of competing in the market. In order to examine this, the dissertation brings the concept of value into the discussion of talent management and thus invites new ways of connecting the various dots of talent management – both within the HR function and in the interaction between HR, the business and the customers. Value is a complex concept, and in the management literature (including the literature on talent management), the concept is often addressed in a narrow economic sense based on an industrial logic. The strategic management literature has increasingly focused on value in a relational sense, which alters ways of doing successful business. The dissertation argues that when a company perceives customer relations as a potential source of competitive advantages, this has implications for notions of value and value creation in the organisation, including the practice of talent management. This requires a relational perspective on value and value creation, which implies that value becomes both more difficult to control and more complex and embedded in a system of multiple, mutually dependent factors.

A Philosophical Examination of the Creative Manager, the Authentic Leader and the EntrepreneurJohnsen, Christian Garmann (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis undertakes a philosophical examination of three figures at the heart of post-bureaucratic thought – the figures of the creative manager, the authentic leader and the entrepreneur. While the figures of the creative manager, the authentic leader and the entrepreneur share the aim of resolving the crisis of Taylorism, this thesis argues that they produce their own internal crises. They do so because the figures of the creative manager, the authentic leader and the entrepreneur are inherently bound to concepts that resist transmutation into a managerial logic that would enable them to serve their functional purposes without betraying their conceptual dynamics. What philosophy offers us is not a ready-made solution to the crises of the creative manager, the authentic leader and the entrepreneur, but rather a point of departure for constructing concepts that enable us to explore the paradoxes embedded within these figures. Since philosophical concepts dwell in crisis, they enable the thesis to capture the paradoxes, aporias and impossibilities that inevitably accompany post-bureaucratic thought. Instead of regarding the crises in post-bureaucratic management thinking as an impasse, abyss or deadlock, the thesis shows how they can chart new ways of conceptualizing the postbureaucratic organization. Drawing on Derrida's concept of pharmakon, Deleuze's concept of simulacrum and Zizek's concept of fantasy, three concepts equally marked by their paradoxical nature, this thesis opens up a philosophical critique of the post-bureaucratic image of thought. This will be done by exploring the figure of the creative manager through a reading of Gary Hamel's popular management handbook The Future of Management informed by Derrida's concept of pharmakon; the figure of the authentic leader through a reading of Bill George's semiautobiographic self-help tome Authentic Leadership informed by Deleuze's concept of simulacrum; and the figure of the entrepreneur through a reading of Richard Branson's autobiography Losing My Virginity informed by Zizek's concept of fantasy.

Verdibasert og skaperkraftig ledelseSletterød, Niels Arvid; Myhren, Rune; Kirkeby, Ole Fogh (Steinkjer, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Vår menneskelige skaperkraft er nøkkelen til verdiskaping, innovasjon og konkurransekraft. Derfor trenger alle ledere å forstå seg på å være et skapende menneske. Blues gir et perspektiv på det skapendes kår i virksomheter. Bluesbandet er et godt eksempel på klok ledelse av skapende arbeidsfellesskap. Bluesen avdekker hvordan det står til med oss og om våre verdier blir gjort virkelige i det vi gjør og skaper. Da synet sitter i øret vil bluesen kunne avdekke det skapendes vilkår slik det oppleves og leves ut i virksomheten. Ledere må altså være gode lyttere. Bluesbandet er et skapende arbeidsfellesskap som fremelsker skapermot og utvikler skaperglede. Stående på kanten av stupet, «the point of no return», har bandet en felles oppgave og skjebne. Alle må gjøre hverandre gode og overgå seg selv i det skapende mesterskapet for å bli konkurransedyktig og etterspurt. Ledelse av det skapende handler om det. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9246

A View from the Sociology of CritiquePresskorn-Thygesen, Thomas (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article examines the forms of mobility that characterize contemporary work life. In doing so, it applies the theoretical framework associated with Luc Boltanski's sociology of critique (Boltanski, 2012 [1990]; Boltanski and Thévenot, 2006 [1991]) and argues that this framework offers a fruitful and important perspective in conceptualizing and understanding the forms of mobility that are becoming increasingly prevalent in today's knowledge work. The sociology of critique allows one to chart the economic and historical conditions of mobility critically, while its sociology of morals also allows us to explore the distinctly normative side of new forms of mobility without succumbing to a celebratory picture of work-related mobility. More specifically and in the context of the 'kinetic elite', the article explores how Boltanski and Chiapello's (2005) analysis of a 'projective order of worth' can help us understand the attractiveness of constantly being 'on the move'. Qualitative data from three exemplars of this elite group of workers is used to illustrate how the ideal of being mobile is perceived as an often problematic imperative, but also as one which is nevertheless rewarding and worth living up to.

Maersk Drilling in AngolaVallentin, Steen (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This case centers on the efforts of Maersk Drilling to apply its CSR policy to its business operations in Angola, the second largest oil producer on the African continent. The case explores 1) the organizational and strategic integration of CSR initiatives; 2) how strategic notions of CSR (as a mode of value creation) are applied in practice; 3) how strategy relates to compliance in the development of CSR; 4) how the CSR strategy of a multinational company is (or can be) adapted to the local conditions of a developing country. Maersk Drilling's approach to CSR and the strategic mindset that drives its efforts to be considered a good corporate citizen in Angola, have to be considered in lieu of it being a business unit within a multinational conglomerate: the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. Therefore, we will start out by presenting the organizational background for CSR in Maersk Drilling and proceed from there. The case reflects Maersk Drilling's strategic outlook, market situation and organization as of late 2013/early 2014. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9213

CBS Views on EntrepreneurshipReichstein, Toke; Sørensen, Anders; Kaiser, Ulrich; Sofka, Wolfgang; Gartner, William B.; Fattoum, Asma; Barinaga, Ester; Langevang, Thilde; Bartholdy, Camilla; Hjorth, Daniel (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: There are many thoughts and beliefs about entrepreneurship. This diversity in opinions and concepts may be triggered by the booming interest in entrepreneurship and in entrepreneurs. Journalists, politicians and academics, just to mention a few groups, have greatly turned their focus and attention towards entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. And in the labour market, entrepreneurship has become one of the more attractive options. Entrepreneurship has indeed become a centre of attention throughout society. There are numerous definitions, terms, theories, thoughts, and conjectures on and around entrepreneurship. It is truly a multidisciplinary topic that draws on sociology, economics, management, and psychology, etc. It can therefore often be confusing to study, and exceedingly difficult to gather a coherent set of academic contributions on entrepreneurship. Very different things are investigated under the heading of entrepreneurship. Even when scholars discuss overlapping issues, the used terminology may often be misaligned. Indeed, even the most accomplished experts tend to be confused when debating topics on entrepreneurship. There can easily emerge a misperception and misunderstandings due to the muddy and inconsistent use of terms. Motivated by the need for understanding the differences in the way we perceive and think about entrepreneurship, the CBS Entrepreneurship BiS Platform set out to ask 10 scholars from CBS to offer their thoughts on 5 dimensions with regard to entrepreneurship. In what could best be described as a curiosity-driven relay, these scholars passed the baton over to the next person, resulting in a 'run' across departments and varying traditions of thought. They represented the Department of Innovation and Organizational Economics, the Department of Economics, the Department of Strategic Management and Globalization, the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, the Department of Business and Politics, and the Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship. The five question posed to the interviewees where: 1. What is your understanding of entrepreneurship? 2. What characterizes and entrepreneur as an individual? 3. What does this mean for university education, or education more generally? 4. What is the role and function of entrepreneurship for private companies and the public sector? 5. In what sense is entrepreneurship important for society? The aim of the Baton of Entrepreneurship is to stimulate dialogue and share insights into entrepreneurship research across the internal boundaries of CBS. But the Baton of Entrepreneurship also functions as a means to convey differences and inform about how entrepreneurship can be thought of in different ways. Having said this, it also reveals that the differences across CBS might not be as big as one might expect and that there are profound overlaps representing a potential for cross-organizational interaction on the topic of entrepreneurship. Perhaps this commonality will be the fuel, which allow new discoveries in the field of entrepreneurship to flourish. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9136

Når ledere taler om ledelse: VL-analyse 2015Holt Larsen, Henrik; Poulfelt, Flemming; Nielsen, Rikke K. (Hellerup, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Det er kendt, men ikke nødvendigvis erkendt, at god ledelse har afgørende betydning for konkurrencekraften, vækstpotentialet, produktiviteten og indtjeningsevnen i danske virksomheder. Det viser hovedparten af de analyser om ledelse, der er gennemført i de senere år i Danmark og udlandet. En netop udkommet rapport viser således, at forbedret ledelse i danske virksomheder ville kunne gavne samfundsøkonomien med et meget stort, årligt milliardbeløb (Ugebrevet A4, 27.4.2015). Det ville især kræve inddragelse af medarbejderne i tilrettelæggelsen af det daglige arbejde, socialt ansvar og omsorg for medarbejderne samt bedre evne til at levere nye produkter, omstille sig og samarbejde med leverandører. Derfor er det et interessant spørgsmål i en tid, hvor fornyelse, vækst og produktivitet står på dagsordenen både samfundsmæssigt og i virksomheder, hvad der kendetegner dansk ledelse anno 2015. Det spørgsmål har Dansk Selskab for Virksomhedsledelse ønsket at belyse som optakt til VL Døgnet i maj 2015, der samtidig markerer 50 års jubilæet for organisationen. Derfor var det også naturligt at spørge medlemmerne om, hvordan ledelse i dag udøves i de virksomheder, de repræsenterer. Det er resultaterne fra denne undersøgelse, som i det følgende vil blive præsenteret. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9177

The Critical State of Critique in the Age of CriticismRaffnsøe, Sverre (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Since the Enlightenment critique has played an overarching role in how western society understands itself and its basic institutions. However, opinions differ widely concerning the understanding and evaluation of critique. To understand such differences and clarify a viable understanding of critique, the article turns to Kant's critical philosophy, inaugurating the "age of criticism". While generalizing and making critique unavoidable, Kant coins an unambiguously positive understanding of critique as an affirmative, immanent activity. Not only does this positive conception prevail in the critique of pure and practical reason and the critique of judgment; these modalities of critique set the agenda for three major strands of critique in contemporary thought, culminating in among others Husserl, Popper Habermas, Honneth, and Foucault. Critique affirms and challenges cognition and its rationality, formulates ethical ideals that regulate social interaction, and further articulates normative guidelines underway in the on-going experimentations of a post-natural history of human nature. In contradistinction to esoteric Platonic theory, philosophy at the threshold of modernity becomes closely linked to an outward-looking critique that examines and pictures what human forms of life are in the process of making of themselves and challenges them, by reflecting upon what they can and what they should make of themselves. As a very widely diffused practice, however, critique may also become a self-affirming overarching end in itself. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9138

Et aktør-netværksteoretisk ledelsesstudie af politiske evalueringsreformers betydning for ledelse i den danske folkeskoleGylling Olesen, Kristian (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Med en række evalueringsreformer har danske politikere siden sen-80´erne forsøgt at gøre op med lærernes autonome undervisning for at få lærere til gennem evalueringer at forbedre elevernes læring. I 90´erne blev der bl.a. introduceret frivillige kvalitetsprogrammer og teamarbejde, og i 00´erne fulgte nationale læringsmål, -test og skriftlige elevplaner. Mere indflydelse til skolelederen er blevet set som et politisk svar på, hvordan evalueringsreformerne kan blive gennemført ude i skolerne, så eleverne lærer mere. Samtidig har den evidensbaserede skoleledelsesforskning givet en række svar på, hvilke generelle ledelsespraktikker og succesfulde personlighedstræk hos skoleledere der kan fremme elevernes læring og faglige udbytte i folkeskolen. Ifølge denne ph.d.-afhandling er den politiske og evidensbaserede forståelse af skoleledelse for entydig. Afhandlingen argumenterer i stedet for, at skoleledelse ikke opstår entydigt eller klart, når politikerne introducerer nye evalueringsreformer i folkeskolen. Der er snarere tale om, at skoleledelse opstår forskelligt og med skiftende aktører – skoleledelse emergerer flertydigt. I lokale kontekster spiller en række forhold ind og får betydning for, hvem der leder hvem, hvordan, hvor og hvornår. Ud fra et toårigt studie i to folkeskoler på den københavnske vestegn og med brug af aktør-netværksteori undersøger afhandlingen, hvordan forskelligt praktisk udstyr og taktiske manøvrer ud fra lokale dagsordner oversætter de politiske evalueringsreformer ude i skolerne, og hvad disse oversættelser betyder for flertydig og emergerende ledelse. Skolerne, som i afhandlingen bliver kaldt ABC Skolen og Byskolen, er blevet undersøgt med interviews, fotos og logs samt observationer. Afhandlingen er en artikelafhandling, som består af tre videnskabelige artikler udarbejdet på engelsk og en dansk ramme, der introducerer afhandlingen, præsenterer baggrundsanalyser, reviewer dansk og international skoleledelseslitteratur, udvikler ledelsesanalytik og metodisk setup samt præsenterer analysestrategiske valg og foretager en samlende konklusion. Den teoretiske inspiration kommer primært fra aktør-netværksteori (Bruno Latour, Michel Callon og John Law). Samtidig inddrager afhandlingen Mats Alvesson og Andrew Spicers (2010) flertydighedscentrerede ledelsesanalytik samt postbureaukratisk ledelsesteori, teori om evaluering og læringsledelse samt teori om ledelse med social kapital.

Omdømmearbejde og omdømmepolitikRiis Larsen, Troels (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Afhandlingen undersøger: 1)Hvordan staten har forholdt sig til de ikke-statslige omdømmeaktører og deres arbejdsområder. 2) Hvilke omdømmepolitikker den danske stat førte over for henholdsvis Sovjetunionen og USA inder den kolde krig (1945-1988). En diskussion af en række teorier om, hvordan stater relaterer til landets omdømme viser, at eksisterende teorier såsom nationbranding, public diplomacy og soft power ikke er anvendelige til en historisk analyse af ovenstående spørgsmål. Derfor bliver der i starten af afhandlingen brugt tid på at opbygge et begrebsapparat der relatere til hvert spørgsmål. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8980

Financial Literacy and the Corporate Governmentalization of the 'Business of Life'Højbjerg, Erik (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper is a work-‐in-‐progress. The purpose of the paper is programmatic in the sense that it tries to formulate elements of a research agenda revolving around the issue of corporate governmentalization. By this term I intend to indicate ways in which companies seek to construe and mobilize consumer subjectivities whose consuming practices involve the self-‐ management of the individual along etho-‐political goals of good governance. The back-‐drop of this topic is the investigation of the forms of contemporary social and political transformation, with a focus on the transformative powers of 'politicized private enterprises' or the 'political corporation'. The research question is: How do corporations seek to construe and mobilize responsible citizens by offering products and services, the consumption of which are assumed to transform the individual¹s self-‐relationship along proclaimed ethical and political goals? The research question will be discussed in the context of financial literacy educational initiatives. In the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, increasing the financial literacy of ordinary citizen-‐consumers has taken a prominent position among regulators and financial institutions alike. The logic seems to be that financially capable individuals will enjoy social and political inclusion as well as an ability to exercise a stronger influence in markets. The paper specifically contributes to our understanding of the governmentalization of the present by addressing how -‐ at least in part -‐ the corporate spread of financial literacy educational initiatives can be observed as a particular form of power at-‐a-‐distance. The focus is on the role of private enterprise in governmentalizing the 'business of life' by establishing and mobilizing specific conceptual forms around which the life skills of the entrepreneurial self involves a responsibilization of the individual citizen-‐consumer.

1780-1860Reckendrees, Alfred (Munich, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In the early 19th century coal mining in the region of Aachen (Prussian Rhine Province) developed to an industrial scale within few decades production was mechanised and new types of industrial organization emerged that allowed for concentration on production and economies of scale. The region hosted two mining areas (the Wurm area and the Inde area) showing rather different patterns of development; while the industry on the Inde was already concentrated at the turn of the century, and industrial modes of production emerged earlier, the industry on the Wurm developed slowly more slowly. Decentralized ownership prohibited scale economics before the mid-1830s. Then, new joint stock companies allowed for concentration of ownership, rationalisation of production and efficient governance. The analysis shows that these different patterns result from different pre-industrial institutional arrangements that were only harmonized during the French occupation of the Rhineland. The ms. containes 189p., 24 figures and maps, 49 tables on regional industrial production. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8981

Empathetic tenants need not apply
In what is being heralded as a "neo liberalist capitalist dystopic future present nightmare", a "UK version of American Psycho" or simply the "end of days", an upmarket property agency in England releases a (serious) video advert for luxury London apartments. Social media is abuzz with analysis, wondering about his day job / cover, and photoshopping, while the Independent newspaper gapes with incredulity. Comments on the video have been disabled.

empathy used to abuse others and empathy used to help others
The two aspects of empathy, cognitive and affective, as described succinctly and clearly by neuroscientist Simon Baron Cohen. Ever wondered how chronically abusive people seem to have X-ray vision knowing just what cruel thing to say to hurt most? It's because they have greater cognitive empathy and less - or very little - affective empathy. Psychologist, Daniel Goleman adds another aspect of empathy into the picture, compassionate empathy.

Nature and History
Favorite thing: You must visit the Quincy Mining Company across the bridge in Hancock, take the drive to Copper Harbor, and visit Calumet. Pick up information on the many things to do and see at the Chamber of Commerce located at 902 College Avenue in Houghton. For additional information on the Keweenaw Peninsula see www.kewtrav.com
TIP: To prevent or reduce itching from those pesky mosquitoes and black flies, grind one regular aspirin into a powder, dampen your finger, and apply a small paste of aspirin powder to the bite. Although I was skeptical when told about this, I have tried it. For me, at least, it not only eliminates the itch, but also reduces the swelling.
Fondest memory: Feeding the ducks, geese, and chipmunks. Watching a bald eagle catch a fish from Portage Lake, swimming in the lake on hot summer days, sailing, and hanging out with friends. Viewing the borealis (Northern Lights) that can be sometimes seen late at night.
To see some of the malard ducks that we feed in the summer, watch my video, Feeding Ducks At the Cabin.

The Portage Lift Bridge
Favorite thing: The Portage Lift Bridge is the only bridge that crosses the Keweenaw Waterway, which splits the Upper Peninsula in half. This lift bridge is located between Houghton and Hancock. The first bridge built in this location was built in 1875, and was constructed of wood. A steel bridge later replaced the wooden bridge. The bridge that you see today was built in 1959, and is the heaviest aerial lift bridge in the world. As the name states, this bridge is operated in such a way that the middle section can be raised and lowered. It ranges in height from 4 foot to 100 ft over the water. This bridge is a double deck bridge. At one time the upper level was for vehicles, and trains used the lower level. Since trains no longer travel this route, the tracks have been removed, and it is now a road. In the winter the bridge is lowered, as there are no boats transversing the waterway, and the lower section is then used by snowmobiles, while cars use the upper level. In the summer the bridge is usually left in an up position, which allows automobile and foot traffic to move back and fourth across the waterway, and boats up to 35 feet in height to freely pass under. If a boat is taller than this, then one must call the bridge master and ask that he raise the bridge. When this happens, all traffic must stop until the boat has passed under and the bridge is again lowered to street level.
Fondest memory: My favorite thing is visiting the waterway at night, when it is lit up, casting its reflection onto the Keweenaw Waterway. My photo shows this nighttime view. Photo two is daytime view, and photo three shows the bridge lifted to allow the Ranger to pass under on its way to Isle Royal.

The Portage Lake Lift Bridge
Favorite thing: Houghton's most distinguished structure, IMHO, is the Lift Bridge that connects it with the town of Hancock and the Keweenaw Peninsula to the north.
According to a highly reliable source (okay, it's Wikipedia), this is the heaviest and widest vertical lift bridge IN THE WORLD. How about them apples?
There is a pedestrian path that allows for people to walk - or bicycle - across. And in the wintertime, the lower level of the bridge is open for snowmobile traffic. Don't you love the U.P.?
- Road Trip
Favorite thing: Since Houghton lies along a waterway, bird watchers will enjoy a number of different water birds. One day I was out snorkeling, and when I was about to get out of the water, I saw a family of Mergansers on our beach. Mergansers, are smaller than mallard ducks, and tend to have big families. I counted at least 15 babies in this family. When the babies are just fuzz balls and you see them swimming along they are usually in a straight line, and there are often one or two riding on mom's back. When they are fishing they swim with their faces in the water like snorkelers, then dive when they see something. They are shy birds, and when they come down the shoreline if they see us out, they normally turn and swim way out. We have NEVER seen them sitting on our beach before. So, when I finished my swim, I didn't want them to see me. I carefully stayed in the water and moved down to the end of our property, where I tried to sneak out and up to the cabin and get my camera. Surprisingly I was successful, and was able to take a few pictures from our deck. They stayed on our beach for quite a while, until some mallards moved in right next to them. More and more mallards kept arriving, until the Mergansers decided there was too much of a crowd and left.
Fondest memory: To my big surprise, one year I saw two beautiful, graceful white swans swimming past our cabin. I had never seen this before, nor have I seen it since, but I will never forget the thrill of seeing these unexpected, beautiful birds on our lake.
- Birdwatching
You must visit Michigan...
Favorite thing: You must visit Michigan Tech... they have a great engineering school and had a really hip radio station when my friend Aaron was a DJ there! Other things that I did - I swam in Lake Superior... it wasn't unbearably cold. I also went cliff diving while I was up there. My friend Aaron got attacked by leaches when he decided to sit around in quiescent pool.
Fondest memory: My 20th birthday. I played on Chutes and Ladders and then had ice cream with my co workers.
visit during Winter Carnival. ...
Favorite thing: visit during Winter Carnival. Winter Carnival is a 2 week event Michigan Tech puts on every year starting the last week of January. The size of the town triples during this time, so make reservations early. There are 4 story snow sculptures, human ice bowling, hockey games, winter carnival queen competition, and human dog sled races. It is definately the highlight of the year.
Fondest memory: Working on the skits and statue for Winter Carnival. It was alot of work, but worth it after celebrating when finished.
The most exciting time to be...
Favorite thing: The most exciting time to be in Houghton is the first week in February during the Winter Carnival. The student organizations from the Michigan Tech campus build gigantic ice sculptures and host a variety of events lasting the entire week.

Which is worse: being a victim or being a bitch? This is a question Rose Voss has been asking herself since her husband died, leaving her with a storm-wrecked house, four kids to raise, and an alcoholic brother-in-law living in a trailer in her backyard. Being a single working mom is never easy, but it's downright painful in Luscious, Missouri, where cattiness is a local pastime. For years, the neighbors have been watching and judging Rose's every move, and giving her a failing grade at every turn. In their minds, her son is a terrorist-in-training, her hydroponics farm is really a front for a large-scale marijuana operation... even walking from the car to the grocer's is bound to throw someone's nose out of joint. Whatever it takes to be popular here, Rose just doesn't have it. Things begin to change when a GoBuy superstore moves in and starts killing off the competition. Families are leaving, stores are closing, and time is running out. Luscious is desperate, and survival depends on recruiting help from the most successful business owner in town: Rose Voss. Now Rose has a decision to make: forgive past wrongs and work with her neighbors to rebuild the community, or leave everyone to reap what they've sown while she savors the sweet taste of revenge. What would you do? What readers are saying about The Empress Rose: Rose is a great character who learns from her mistakes and seeks to right them for the sake of her children. She gives hope to single working mothers who have to bear the burden and joys of raising a family while making ends meet. The Empress Rose has a strong cast of characters who show great development to the end. - Michelle Saxton, Petersburg, FL The Empress Rose immediately caught my attention, and I was intrigued to learn more. I loved the idea of of one woman taking a dream and working hard to make a life after tragedy.
