Organizing Technologies

By: Ulla Eriksson-Zetterquist,Thomas Kalling,Alexander Styhre

Organization theory and management studies tend to underrate the importance of technological resources in accomplishing organized activities. In organizations, a wide variety of technologies are mobilized on a day-to-day basis to accomplish organized activities. Some of these technologies are subject to continuous discussions and controversies while others are taken for granted or simply ignored. This book presents theories about technology and its recursive ability to both shape its users and to be shaped by its very use. The book outlines an analytical model where technologies serve three broad functions within organizations: to produce goods and services, to enhance administrative work, and to connect and co-align organizations within networks, supply chains, or distribution systems.

Haldor Topsøe

a portrait

By: Thomas Larsen

Haldor Topsøe has been called "Engineer of the Century". His company is storming ahead globally, and he still goes to the office every morning – at the age of almost 100. He founded his company the day after the Nazis occupied Denmark on 10 April 1940. In 1972 the company experienced liquidity problems and he lost control of his life's work. But in 2007, at the age of 94, he bought the company back by borrowing more than 2.5 million Danish kroner from the bank. From that point on it has been full steam ahead. During his long life he has seen for himself the consequences of two world wars and of economic depression. He saw Hitler speak in a Germany on the way to catastrophe and listened to Churchill in the British Parliament. Decades before other business people did the same, he travelled to developing countries such as India and China where he became an adviser for political leaders. Inspired by his mentor, Niels Bohr, Haldor Topsøe has always been concerned by the progress which research can bring not just for his own company but also for the whole world. The book is a portrait of a unique person with an unrivalled commitment and vision.

Snow in the Tropics

A History of the Independent Reefer Operators

By: Thomas Taro Lennerfors,Peter Birch

Snow in the Tropics by Thomas Taro Lennerfors and Peter Birch offers the first comprehensive history of the independent reefer operators. These shipping companies, such as Lauritzen, Salén, Seatrade, Star Reefers, and NYK Reefer, developed the dedicated transport of refrigerated products like meat, fish, and fruit by ship, from the early 20th century to the present. Snow in the Tropics describes how the history of the reefer operators has been formed in relation to shippers, such as Dole and Chiquita, in a constant struggle with the liner companies, such as Maersk, and in relation to global economic and political trends. It also covers how the industry is discursively constructed and the psychological drivers of the business decisions in it.
