The overall objective of the Translearn project
is to develop a road map for transnational learning for
how citizens in different socioeconomic models can make
experimental use of existing institutions, create new
governance modes and collaborative partnerships across
sectors, levels and divisions of interests.
Core findings from the project are
reported in the following book:
Nordic Capitalisms and Globalization. New
Forms of Economic Organization and Welfare Institutions,
edited by Professor Peer Hull Kristensen, Copenhagen
Business School, and Professor Kari Lilja, Aalto
University School of Economics.
This book investigates how and why welfare services,
active labour market institutions, and public policies
were re-combined into enabling and risk-sharing
mechanisms to stimulate innovation, and how this made it
possible for firms to change their work organization and
pursue highly rewarding and distinctive globalization
strategies. Through detailed analysis of Finland,
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, this book reveals the
dynamics and transformations of their national business
systems, and the emerging new patterns of interaction
between firms, labour markets, and institutions. It will
be a valuable addition to the literature on social
innovation and institutional entrepreneurship. |
