In doing so, a third variable has been considered, namely prosocial motivation. Specifically, the latter has been taken into account from its state-like perspective and has been included in the current study as a mediator, capable of explaining the aforementioned relationship. From this standpoint, the related research model has been afterwards tested within a Norwegian company operating internationally in the medical industry and driven by the prosocial mission of “helping save lives”. Thanks to the examination of data gathered through a survey strategy, it was possible to corroborate the hypothesis proposing the existence of a positive impact of transformational leadership on employees’ innovative behaviors. Moreover, evidence was also found supporting the idea that the previous impact was significantly mediated by workers’ state-like prosocial motivation. In greater detail, it was rational to talk about partial mediation, since the effect generated by this construct was a negative one. Finally, the conclusive chapters of the research discussed its implications both theoretically and practically, as well as its limitations and future paths of analysis. 2 2020 0 PubID 38974 6 0 Pub_TypeNumber R12/20 6 1 Pub_Writer Carlo Filippo Pedretti 6 2 Pub_Title To what extent does transformational leadership impact employees’ innovative behaviors through the mediation of their prosocial motivation? 6 3 Pub_Publication /Files/Filer/Publications/R12_20.pdf 6 4 Pub_AbstractEn The inner aim of the present research was to investigate to what extent a transformational leadership approach is able to impact employees’ innovative behaviors.

Furthermore, the main data source has been semi-structured interviews held with eight company representatives at seven different occasions. The interviewees come from the ecosystem facilitator, as well as five project members, who were all relevant in relation to the researched case project of insurance fraud. The findings showed that innovation was enabled in the context of the ecosystem and the insurance fraud project throughout six different subcategories. The subcategories, related to the innovation, inside the ecosystem consist of access, interface, and incentives. Subsequently, the three categories relevant to innovation inside the project are supporting specialists, entrustment, and neutral organizer. Through these six categories, innovation has been enabled in the researched setting. Thus, the research show that certain prerequisites could help to enable innovation inside an ecosystem. Incorporating the above-mentioned key success factors can help future innovation initiatives within ecosystems to flourish. 2 2020 0 PubID 38971 8 0 Pub_TypeNumber R10/20 8 1 Pub_Writer John Martin Frankendal and Shayan Ghanbarisaied 8 2 Pub_Title Enabling Innovation Through an Ecosystem.

Are there Cyclical Tendencies in Risk Taking, through Distant Lending, in the Corporate Loan Market in Norway? /Files/Filer/Publications/A11_20_(1).pdf In this thesis, we attempt to provide evidence on how competition in the corporate loan market in Norway affects banks’ risk taking, and hence the financial stability, through distant lending over the business cycle. We use comprehensive data from the Norwegian banking market, containing annual information on 169 banks and approximately 136 000 firms over the period 1997 to 2013. Our analysis provides ambiguous results on whether there is cyclical variation in lending distances, and collectively we cannot conclude that there is a clear relationship between business cycles and loan distances. Furthermore, we cannot conclude that increased lending distance is associated with increased risk. Since we do not find such a relationship, we do not consider it beneficial to run our last model investigating the effect of competition on banks’ risk taking, through distant lending. Regardless of whether increased competition leads to increased lending distances, it is not possible to measure whether competition affect banks’ risk taking, as we cannot use distance as an adequate proxy for the risk associated with a loan. Hence, we cannot conclude that competition in the Norwegian banking sector has a negative impact on financial stability through distant lending. 1 2020 0 PubID 38965 12 0 Pub_TypeNumber A11/20 12 1 Pub_Writer Oda Haugen Haagensen and Ragnhild Vetrhus Sørlie 12 2 Pub_Title Consequences of Competition and Proximity on the Stability in Banking.

This report studies the impact of sales organizations on the value of the harvest sector. We study how two of the largest sales organizations, Norges Sildesalgslag and Sunnmøre og Romsdal Fiskesalslag (SUROFI), affect the value of the harvest of its member fishers. We find that sales organizations create significant value for member fishers. By organizing auctions, fishing firms are able to receive higher prices for their harvests than if the same fish were sold through contracts. We also find that prices reflect market fundamentals such as the degree of competition on both the buyer and seller sides. This may have consequences for future developments in a market characterized by consolidation on both sides. 1 2021 0 PubID 38962 13 0 Pub_TypeNumber A05/21 13 1 Pub_Writer Corbett Grainger 13 2 Pub_Title Sales Organizations, Industrial Organization and Economic Value in Norway 13 3 Pub_Publication /Files/Filer/Publications/A05_21.pdf 13 4 Pub_AbstractEn In Norway fish sales organizations have the right to set the terms of all transactions between member fishers and prospective buyers.

Evensen, Øystein Foros, Atle Haugen and Hans Jarle Kind Size-based input price discrimination under endogenous inside options /Files/Filer/Publications/A03_21.pdf Individual retailers may choose to invest in a substitute to a dominant supplier's products (inside option) as a way of improving its position towards the supplier. Given that a large retailer has stronger investment incentives than a smaller rival, the large retailer may obtain a selective rebate (size-based price discrimination). Yet, we often observe that suppliers do not price discriminate between retailers that differ in size. Why is this so? We argue that the explanation may be related to the competitive pressure among the retailers. The more fiercely the retailers compete, the more each retailer cares about its relative input prices. Other things equal, this implies that the retailers will invest more in the substitute the greater the competitive pressure. We show that if the competitive pressure is sufficiently strong, the supplier can profitably incentivize the retailer to reduce its investments in substitutes by committing to charge a uniform input price. Furthermore, we show that under uniform input pricing, the large retailer may induce smaller rivals to exit the market by strategically under-investing in inside options. 1 2021 0 PubID 37962 15 0 Pub_TypeNumber A03/21 15 1 Pub_Writer Charlotte B.

Linear wholesale pricing may out-perform more complex contracts /Files/Filer/Publications/A02_21.pdf In many markets we observe that suppliers and retailers use simple, linear wholesale tariffs instead of non-linear tariffs. Does this mean that they leave money on the table? Not necessarily. On the contrary, in a bilateral bargaining framework with a dominant supplier and two competing retailers, we find that firms may leave money on the table if they use non-linear tariffs. Fewer instruments could generate more profit (less is more). We show that whether industry profit is higher with linear tariffs or non-linear tariffs depends on the degree of retail competition and the distribution of bargaining power. In some cases, the retailers and the supplier have conflicting preferences with respect to the contract structure (linear or non-linear tariffs). In other cases, however, both the supplier and the retailers are better off with linear tariffs. 1 2021 0 PubID 37961 16 0 Pub_TypeNumber A02/21 16 1 Pub_Writer Øystein Foros, Hans Jarle Kind and Greg Shaffer 16 2 Pub_Title Less is more in bilateral channel coordination?

Search engines are examples of platforms characterized by network externalities. They harvest the attention of users and resell this attention to advertisers. As such, standard market mechanisms typical of single-sided markets do not apply. In our model, advertisers are willing to pay a higher premium for targeted search results utilizing consumer data. As such, a search engine like Google can command higher prices per sponsored link if it collects more personalized data from its users. This must be balanced against demand effects stemming from consumer aversion towards the disclosure of personal data. DuckDuckGo, a search engine that explicitly does not collect consumer data, can use investments in consumer aversion strategically to capture market shares from Google. We find that Google has an incentive to collect consumer data and that the presence of DuckDuckGo will moderate the amount. We also find that as consumer aversion to advertisements increases, Google will choose to collect more consumer data as DuckDuckGo’s incentives to respond with investments in privacy awareness are reduced. 1 2020 0 PubID 36965 17 0 Pub_TypeNumber A09/20 17 1 Pub_Writer Øystein Evenstad 17 2 Pub_Title The role of data: A two-sided model of competition between Google and DuckDuckGo 17 3 Pub_Publication /Files/Filer/Publications/A09_20.pdf 17 4 Pub_AbstractEn This thesis aims to analyze the consumer data’s role as a revenue-shifting input in a two-sided competition-in-utility model between a search engine collecting personalized consumer data (Google) and one that does not (DuckDuckGo).

Information from the media firm is uncertain but truthful, and consumers enjoy confirmation of their prior beliefs due to cognitive dissonances. We show that, even if real news is more valued than fake news, entry by fake news providers becomes more profitable with the variance of information.

The third provider (an entrant) invests in partial coverage, and needs to rent access from one of its rivals in order to provide nationwide coverage. The paper is motivated by the Norwegian mobile market, where the competition authorities imposed a fine of EUR 78 million on Telenor (the dominant incumbent) for abusing market power by changing the access price structure in such a way that it hampered the entrant’s investment incentives. Specifically, Telenor reduced the rental rate for the actual use of Telenor’s network. At the same time, they introduced a SIM card fee payable by the entrant for each of its consumers. We show that the relationship between the change in the access price structure and the entrant’s investment level is ambiguous. Competition among the vertically-integrated providers in the access market may drive them to offer a structure that benefits the entrant. Thus, the observed change in access price structure may be the outcome of intensified upstream competition rather than abuse of market power. 1 2020 0 PubID 36963 19 0 Pub_TypeNumber A06/20 19 1 Pub_Writer Malin Arve, Øystein Foros and Hans Jarle Kind 19 2 Pub_Title Access-price structure and entrants’ build-or-buy incentives in mobile markets 19 3 Pub_Publication /Files/Filer/Publications/A06_20_(1).pdf 19 4 Pub_AbstractEn We consider a market structure with three mobile providers, two of which are vertically integrated and have nationwide coverage.

A case study exploring organizational agility in practice /Files/Filer/Publications/R06_20.pdf <p>In this case study, I explore if and how agile ways of working influence change capacity. In that, I investigate the effects on change capacity at both the organizational and individual level. First, to gain an understanding of the prevalent perspectives and arguments on agile and change capacity, literature was reviewed. Second, qualitative data was collected from a single firm set within the banking industry. The findings from this were then analyzed as &lsquo;actions&rsquo; taken by the firm represented by agile ways of working, and the &lsquo;outcome&rsquo; represented by organizational and individual change capacity. While the actions were synonymous with those described in agile literature, the outcome revealed completely new insights not previously addressed by scholars.</p> <p>This study indicates that agile ways of working positively influence change capacity; at the organizational level, by creating shared understanding and quick results. Additionally, it shows that the organization&rsquo;s sensing capabilities are enhanced at the operational level with scope to further optimize them at the strategic level. The influence of agile ways of working on the firm&rsquo;s seizing capabilities is undeniable, as the organization is able to adapt and respond to changes in a rapid manner like never before. At the individual level, agile ways of working create change readiness and trust. At the same time, some risks are identified at both levels, including backlog of work, stress, and fatigue. The positive effects outweigh the risks significantly, indicating the magnitude of benefits an organization can potentially enjoy by adopting agile ways of working.</p> <p>This thesis provides novel and valuable insights to practitioners regarding the benefits of agile ways of working and how its specific elements can build change capacity.

I ascertain that the innovation process consists of four distinct, yet interrelated phases: scouting, separating, maturing, and reintegrating. While the main focus of this thesis lies on the exploratory unit, my analysis also reveals several implications for structural ambidexterity on the corporate level. By taking a process approach, my study enriches the currently prevailing static approach and shows that established firms ought to engage in iterative innovation processes to realize the full potential of structural ambidexterity. This enables them to stay innovative and continuously renew themselves.</p> <p>My findings contribute to extant research by offering a process view of how innovation units evolve over time. I propose that the paradox stemming from the innovation division&rsquo;s need to explore new opportunities while simultaneously maintaining previously explored technologies can be handled by becoming contextually ambidextrous. This finding dilutes the lines between the two organizational ambidexterity modes that are presented in traditional literature as distinct. My research further suggests that structural ambidexterity is not a one-time decision, but rather an iterative process.</p> <p>This study also has practical implications for managers tasked with innovation. From the exploratory unit&rsquo;s perspective, managers should see the bigger picture (i.e. their contribution to the focal firm&rsquo;s strategic renewal) and internalize the natural progression of the relationship with the established firm over time. Further, it highlights the necessity to train generalists and create a context that enables employees to handle the emerging exploration-exploitation dilemma. On the corporate level, this study reveals that top managers need to constantly manage several innovation processes to ensure sustained innovativeness. It thus highlights the value of managers who have experience with the innovation process for building the required change capacity.
