Iværksætteri

Offentlig-private partnerskaber er en effektiv samarbejdsform, der ikke blot skaber værdi for borgere og erhvervsliv, men som også bidrager til at løse nogle af klodens problemer. Det er ikke uden grund, at FN’s verdensmål nummer 17 hedder ”Styrk det globale partnerskab”.I offentlig-private partnerskaber arbejder aktører i den offentlige sektor forpligtende sammen med den private sektor – det kan både være virksomheder, foreninger og ngo’er – om at skabe fælles værdi og resultater. Alle involverede parter deler såvel risici som gevinster. Partnerskabsmodellen er udbredt, og interessen for den vokser. Bogen præsenterer den teori, der eksisterer om emnet, og gør rede for de forskellige typer af partnerskaber, der findes, samt deres fordele og ulemper.Aktuelle cases viser, hvordan partnerskabsprocesser fungerer i praksis. Og bogen giver anvisninger på, hvordan partnerskaber kan struktureres, styres og ledes og baner vejen for løsninger på vanskelige problemer.

Bo Burlingham, the bestselling author of Small Giants, returns with Finish Big, an original guide to exiting your company successfully and gracefully.No two exit experiences are exactly alike. Some people wind up happy with the process and satisfied with the way it turned out, while others look back on it as a nightmare. The question I hope to answer in this book is why. What did the people with 'good' exits do differently from those who'd had 'bad' exits?'Bo Burlingham's first book Small Giants became an instant classic for its original take on a common business problem: how to handle the pressure to grow. Now he is back to tackle an even more common problem: how to exit your company well.Sooner or later, all businesses get sold, given away, or liquidated. Whatever your preferred outcome, if you start planning for it while you still have time and options, you can build a stronger, more resilient company with a higher market value. Unfortunately, most don't - and they pay a steep price for their procrastination.Through dozens of interviews with entrepreneurs across a range of industries, Burlingham identifies eight key factors that determine whether owners leave their businesses happily. He showcases the insights, exits and cautionary tales of entrepreneurs across an array of industries including manufacturing, food and services. Finish Big is an illuminating and inspirational guide to one of the most stressful, and yet potentially rewarding, processes business owners must go through.Bo Burlingham is the author of Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big, a finalist for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year in 2006. An editor at large at Inc., he has reported on the entrepreneurial revolution in America since the early 1980s and has witnessed up close the birth and development of the companies that have reshaped our world.

Governments worldwide struggle to remove policy deadlocks and enact much needed reforms in organizational structure and public services. In this book, Jacob Tor­fing explores collaborative innovation as a way for public and private stakeholders to break the impasse.Tor­fing draws on his own pioneering work in Europe as well as examples from the United States and Australia to construct a cross-disciplinary framework for studying collaborative innovation. The result is a theoretically and empirically informed book that carefully demonstrates how multi-actor collaboration can enhance public innovation in the face of ­ fiscal constraint, the proliferation of wicked problems, and the presence of unsatis­fied social needs.The authorJacob Torfing is a professor at Roskilde University, director of the Roskilde School of Governance in Denmark and a professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences at University of Nordland

Uden at vi tænker så meget over det, er vi omgivet af løsninger, som kun har været tilgængelige for os i en relativt kort periode. Eksempelvis blev det først muligt at tage fotos med mobilen i 2000. I 2003 lancerede Toyota den første hybridbil, mens den første twitterbesked blev afsendt i 2006. Året efter kom den første iPhone på markedet.Men det er ikke kun genstande, der fornyr vores hverdag. Der bliver også hele tiden tænkt nye tanker om, hvordan man kan organisere sig, arbejde, samarbejde, praktisere ledelse og medarbejderskab. Disse temaer behandles i denne bog, hvor udgangspunktet er innovation i etablerede virksomheder. Forfatterne er optaget af, hvordan man kan arbejde med innovation i private og offentlige virksomheder, der er etablerede, men samtidig tilstræber udvikling – dvs. hvad man kan gøre for at skabe nye og værdifulde løsninger for eksterne kunder eller brugere.Bogens målgruppe er uddannelser på bachelorniveau, hvor innovation udgør en del af uddannelsen.

Innovation handler om at formulere ideer, der kan være katalysator for at ændre en eksisterende praksis inden for et særligt afgrænset område. I en narrativ innovationsproces bliver opgaven at få øje på de kulturelle og historiske konstruktioner, der kan stå i vejen for at innovere. Fokus er på, hvordan kultur og historie former den enkeltes måde at tænke og handle på. Innovation i et narrativt perspektiv tager afsæt i den mangfoldighed af perspektiver, der eksisterer blandt aktørerne i innovationsprocesser, og bogen gør deres perspektiver – eller fortællinger – til genstand for innovationen. Innovation skal forstås som potentiale, der kan realiseres i den praksis, innovationen er designet til at indgå i. Innovationsprocessen bliver dermed indgangen til at udforske potentialet. Bogen væver forskellige narrative begreber fra den terapeutiske kontekst ind i en organisatorisk innovationssammenhæng. Igennem syv forskellige kort (faser) udfolder og beskriver bogen, skridt for skridt, hvordan en narrativ innovationsproces kan se ud. Der er både teoretiske introduktioner til det narrative tankegods og praksisnære eksempler på, hvordan der konkret kan arbejdes med innovation ud fra denne særlige tilgang.Innovation i et narrativt perspektiv henvender sig til ledere, medarbejdere, konsulenter, studerende og alle, der er involveret i innovation og har interesse for dette område. Innovation i et narrativt perspektiv er fjerde bog i serien I ET NARRATIVT PERSPEKTIV. Bøgerne i denne serie introducerer brugen af narrative metoder i forhold til konkrete ledelsesmæssige og organisatoriske praksisser. Med fokus på arbejdet med fortællinger bevæger bøgerne sig fra det vidensfilosofiske og teoretiske til det helt praksisnære niveau. Fælles for bøgerne er en grundantagelse om, at vi som mennesker skaber mening i verden gennem vores fortællinger om verden. Serien I ET NARRATIVT PERSPEKTIV redigeres af Jens Henriksen og Hanne Fredslund.

Der er stort fokus på iværksætteri i dag, og iværksættere bliver ofte omtalt som redningsplanke for et kriseramt Danmark. Samtidig findes der masser af stærke fordomme om iværksættere, og der fortælles mange historier om, hvad der kendetegner en RIGTIG iværksætter - både med en barsk ´røven på kogepladen´-retorik og med en virkelighedsfjern, lyserød beskrivelse af ´passiv indtægt´. Det kan være svært at identificere sig med den slags historier og rollemodeller, og derfor kan det virke vanskeligt og farligt at blive iværksætter.Forfatterne ønsker at nuancere disse fordomme, og det gør de ved at dele deres egne erfaringer som selvstændige gennem mange år, samt erfaringer fra en række meget forskellige iværksættere. Med Iværksætterhåndbogen som arbejdsredskab er det muligt at gå fra potentiel iværksætter til rent faktisk at stifte egen virksomhed.Forfattere:Hanne Wick (kommunikations- og iværksætterrådgiver) og Dorthe Klyvø (tekstforfatter, oversætter og bogredaktør).Links til relevante websites og værktøjer, samt skabeloner til download findes på bogens hjemmeside.

På baggrund af en stor undersøgelse blandt iværksættere i Danmark kortlægger forfatterne syv unikke iværksætterarketyper – livsstilsiværksætteren, teamiværksætteren, vækstiværksætteren, specialisten, risikotageren, pengemageren og idealisten – og viser den diversitet og mangfoldighed, der er blandt iværksættere i Danmark. De bringer desuden interviews med repræsentanter fra hver iværksættertype, som fortæller åbent om deres erfaringer med at starte egen virksomhed. Blandt andre: Jacob Arentoft, Arentoft Digital (pengemageren)Jesper Theil Thomsen, SOUNDBOKS (teamiværksætter)Lotte Øster Fynboe, OYOY Living Design (vækstiværksætter). Konsulenter og andre – fx revisorer, banker, advokater, konsulenter, universiteter, Vækstfonden, Erhvervshusene og lokale erhvervsservices – der professionelt beskæftiger sig med at rådgive iværksættere, får her et velfunderet og håndgribeligt grundlag at vejlede iværksætterne ud fra. Ofte er mødet mellem iværksætter og professionel rådgiver forbundet med frustration og manglende forståelse, fordi man taler og rådgiver fra et skævt udgangspunkt. Når man alene ser på kendetegnene ved den succesfulde iværksætter, sker der efter forfatternes mening et stort samfundsmæssigt, og dermed potentielt også økonomisk, tab. Der skal flere nuancer med, så vi bliver bedre til både at se og arbejde med iværksætternes forskelligheder, og kan give dem den rigtige rådgivning. Alt for mange køber ind på den fejlagtige antagelse om iværksætterlivets mange afsavn og omkostninger. Og myten afholder mange, heriblandt mange kvinder, fra at kaste sig ud i tilværelsen som selvstændig. Forfatterne har desuden undersøgt den kommende generations iværksætter-DNA, der bebuder både udfordringer og muligheder. Og så har de set nærmere på årsagen til, at nogle mennesker (fx ordblinde og personer med ADHD) kan besidde særlige forudsætninger for at blive iværksættere. Glem alt om iværksætterrådgivning ud fra vage formodninger og stereotype antagelser. Bogen er spændende læsestof og et håndgribeligt redskab, når der skal laves erhvervspolitiske handleplaner, og for rådgivere, bankmænd, business angels, revisorer eller investorer. Og for nye iværksættere.

With this, he not only provides insight into the culture of Red Bull, but also highlights how Frankl laid the foundation for purpose- and talent-oriented entrepreneurship and a modern working world defined by self-responsibility.

Selvledelse er meget mere, end at medarbejdere selv kan tilrettelægge deres arbejde. Det er et menneskesyn, der handler om, at man sammen opnår de bedste resultater ved at bruge hinandens viden og kompetencer bedst muligt.
