Danish Shipping in the 21st Century
Spurred by global macro-economic shifts, commercial and financial turbulence, as well as technological leaps in the early years of the new millennium, the Danish shipping industry has changed dramatically since the turn of the century. This book provides a new understanding of how rapid business environmental changes frame strategic choices and industry structures. The authors combine a conceptual chapter with three selected business history cases to apply a methodical approach to their study. Together, the five chapters unveil patterns in the development of Danish shipping which are historical and, at the same time, consider questions that address the present situation and the challenges of our time. In other words, this short book uses history for the purpose of understanding the present and to develop thinking for the future.

Udsyn - ØK, Danmark og verden
For første gang fortælles hele historien om storhed og fald i en af de største danske virksomheder gennem tiden. Østasiatisk Kompagni blev stiftet i 1897 af etatsråd H.N. Andersen, som havde et stort netværk i Asien og en vision om at opbygge infrastruktur og produktion. I løbet af de næste 100 år kom aktiviteterne til at omfatte handel, industri og søtransport over hele verden. Historien om ØK er et stykke dansk erhvervshistorie om en virksomhed, der fra starten var tænkt stort og internationalt. I det 20. århundredes første halvdel prægede ØK Danmarkshistorien, selvom dansk og international økonomi i perioden blev stadig mere tillukket og protektionistisk. I 1970 var ØK Nordens største virksomhed målt på omsætning, men da globaliseringen tog fart, mistede ØK sin livskraft. I 2015 blev ØK endeligt afviklet som selskabsnavn. Martin Jes-Iversen (f. 1972) er lektor i økonomisk historie på Copenhagen Business School og forfatter til en række erhvervshistoriske bøger om bl.a. GN Store Nord og Finansiel Stabilitet.
Mapping European Corporations
This book addresses the evolution of the strategies, structures, ownership patterns and performances of large European corporations since the early 1960s. The authors study large and small countries, in order to understand how the process of economic integration has affected the patterns of growth and the structural characteristics of the largest firms. Drawing both on extensive databases and on case studies, the contributions in this volume address the peculiar specificities of large firms in different national contexts, adopting a longitudinal, long term perspective. This volume delivers the first results of an international, collective research effort undertaken by several national teams....

The Third Globalization
Given the powerfully negative and ongoing impact of the Great Recession on western economies, the question of whether historically wealthy nations-the US, Western European countries, Japan-can stay wealthy has become an overriding concern for virtually every interested observer. In The Third Globalization, eminent political economists Dan Breznitz and John Zysman gather some of the discipline's leading scholars to assess the prospects for growth and prosperity among advanced industrial nations.
Good Governance Gone Bad
If we believe that the small, open economies of Nordic Europe are paragons of good governance, why are they so prone to economic crisis? In Good Governance Gone Bad, Darius Ornston provides evidence that adapting flexibly to rapid, technological change and shifting patterns of economic competition may be a great virtue, but it does not prevent countries from making strikingly poor policy choices and suffering devastating results. Home to three of the "big five" financial crises in the twentieth century, Nordic Europe in the new millennium has witnessed a housing bubble in Denmark, the collapse of the Finnish ICT industry, and the Icelandic financial crisis. Ornston argues that the reason for...
New Maritime Business
This book provides a response to the unexpected challenges imposed on every aspect of today’s maritime business. All chapters of this book are concerned with the single challenge facing the maritime business world – that is, uncertainty. Each chapter deals with a specific area of the maritime business community in an effort to better understand the complicated markets, to seek for a solution of economic or financial sustainability under the pressure of climate changes, to discuss technology as an option for the future, and finally to show how to utilise the big data set for better informed decision- and policymaking that used to be unfeasible in terms of scale and capacity. It is hoped that all those endeavours are considered as the first small step towards practically transforming the industry in line with Schumpeter (1943) as well as academically changing a paradigm of thinking and scientific discovery in line with Kuhn (2012), so that the maritime industry is better informed and prepared, and can greatly contributing to human lives.
