Authors: Basner, Kai Inga
Abstract: This is a paper-based dissertation, consisting of a 'cape' and three articles, one of which is singleauthored. The topic is servitization at work. Servitization is a competitive strategy that, typically, Western industrial manufacturing companies implement in order to secure their continued existence in increasingly competitive markets. Servitization means combining products with a service component. With increasing servitization implementation, companies move away from focusing on the sales of products and instead emphasize their use, for example by repairing them, renting them out or by operating and maintaining machines for clients. But more recent literature also highlights that companies face many challenges when implementing servitization, up to the point where some close their service business again. This indicates that servitization has important implications to it other than 'just' selling services. This dissertation argues that some of these implications have gone by unnoticed because much of the literature is both rooted in and itself perpetuating a number of widely-held assumptions. Taking on a pragmatic stance, it explores how servitization is at work, despite the challenges associated with it. In so doing, it challenges three taken-for-granted notions in the literature, namely that customers demand services by default, that products are stable and that servitization is one definite thing. It draws on the infralanguage and methodology provided by Actor-Network Theory. In particular, it mobilizes the ideas around qualification, inscription and multiplicity.</summary>

Authors: Poulsen, Thomas Kjær
Abstract: The first essay presents new empirical findings which are inconsistent with prominent theories on the investment premium. The investment premium is the positive stock return difierential between firms with low and high asset growth. Asset growth is the annual percentage change in total assets and is typically interpreted as the firm's investments. The investment premium is an integral part of recent factor models which are fundamental tools for both finance academics and practitioners. In the essay I present three new empirical findings. First, I show that firms with low asset growth on average have higher financial leverage. To the extent that firms with higher leverage have higher returns, cross-sectional difierences in leverage account for part of the investment premium. Second, I document that there is no investment premium among zero-leverage firms. Third, I nd that the investment premium increases with firms' refinancing intensities which are the ratio of short-term debt to total debt. These findings re ect firms' financing decisions and are inconsistent with prominent theories using firms' investment decisions to explain the investment premium.</summary>

Abstract: Innovation and optimization are essential elements for organizations worldwide, as these will ensure the survival ahead for the organizations. The competition in the markets are different from that 10 years ago, and will probably have changed again 10 years from now, because of the technological development. This means that - to a greater extent - it is important to be first mover in the attempt to create new and improved products. Additionally, it is important to optimize the organization's processes by focusing on its primary business purpose and outsource those elements which are not value creating. In the organization's striving toward optimized products and processes, strategic alliances are getting increasingly important between industries and between various global organizations.</summary>

Authors: Olsen, Mia
Abstract: Som en funktion af den digitaliserede verden vi lever i og idéen om et kontantløst samfund, har vi i de seneste år oplevet hvordan fænomenet mobile betalinger er vokset. Arbejdet med at skabe elektroniske betalingssystemer til implementering i situationer hvor kontanter typisk har været anvendt, har stået på hen over de sidste 20-30 år, og mens mange forsøg har slået helt eller delvist fejl, har vi i Danmark siden 2013 kunne betale med den succesfulde mobilbetalings-app MobilePay. Formålet med denne afhandling er at bidrage med empirisk baseret viden om hvilke faktorer der har bidraget til udbredelsen af mobile betalinger i Danmark, samt at afdække nogle af de adfærdsmæssige konsekvenser af at vi nu kan overføre penge ved hjælp af mobile betalinger. Afhandlingen præsenterer således; en kortlægning af de historiske forhold der går forud for, samt de forhold der omgiver mobile betalinger i Danmark; en forklaring af hvordan to udbydere af mobile betalinger har arbejdet med undersøgelse, udvikling og markedsføring af deres løsninger; samt et eksplorativt studie af brugeroplevelser af mobile betalinger i brugthandel. I afhandlingens tredje del opsummeres de analytiske resultater i et forklarende narrativ, og efter afhandlingens konklusion præsenteres en række implikationer for forskning og erhvervsliv samt forslag til fremtidige studier.</summary>
