Bilingual corporate websites - from translation to transcreation?
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Specialised Translation. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.jostrans.org/issue20/art_rike.pdf Open Access As an increasing number of companies see the world as their marketplace, bilingual and/or multilingual websites are becoming increasingly common, and the demand for translations in this domain is growing.

With web texts being instantly available to readers anywhere, the translator’s role as a cultural mediator attains a special significance as the texts may be access…
Responses of European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and lobster fishers to protective management
2017
Master's thesis Aquatic Ecology BIO500 - University of Agder 2017 Marine protected areas (MPAs) are valued for their conservation benefits to harvested species. However, potential benefits of MPAs to neighboring fisheries are less well-understood. This study quantifies how the European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and the fishery for this valued catch respond to the establishment of a relatively small (5.2 km2) MPA on the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. A series of yearly standardized trap surveys was conducted to estimate lobster abundance and catch weights both inside and outside the MPA before (2010- 2011) and after the MPA was established (2012-2016). Lobster abundance and catch weights were d…
A taxonomical account of knowledge creation: research directions
2011
Article published in the journal: Journal of Knowledge Management Practice. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.tlainc.com/articl253.htm. Open access. The global knowledge economy could become the next booming economy. This point can be buttressed by the flood of literature on knowledge management. New job roles have emerged in many firms to handle the challenge of the global knowledge economy. But despite the developments, there are still gaps in literature and divergent views about the subject of knowledge and how it can be created. Knowledge is an abstract term that captures the art of knowing and what is being known, is difficult to study (Davenport and Völpel 2001). Knowle…
THE ARCHETYPE OF PARADISE: DYING IN HOLIDAYS DOES NOT SOUND COOL
2014
Holidays play a vital role in the configuration of our life. Our most profound expectances are posed to this magic moment. However, under some contexts, what starts as a dream ends in a nightmare. It is unfortunate this is the case of victims of Villa Gesell’s tragedy, resulted when a ray impacted directly to a beach. Nobody is immune of tragedy, even at holidays. This essay review explores not only the anthropological roots of risk and paradise, but also the journalist discourse to cover the event. Far from the general opinion, disasters affect tourism, we strongly believe it strengths its attractiveness.
Climatic change and thermal comfort. Effects on the tourism industry in the region of Valencia
2020
El cambio climático comienza a manifestar efectos en las actividades económicas de la Comunidad Valenciana. El turismo es una parte fundamental de su economía, puesto que representa el 15% de su PIB regional. La modalidad de “sol y playa” es la principal actividad turística en el territorio valenciano, de ahí la importancia del análisis de las alteraciones que están experimentando los elementos climáticos debido a su efecto en el recurso turístico y en las preferencias de la demanda. La pérdida del “confort climático”, el aumento de las noches “tropicales” (Tª > 20ºC), el incremento de la temperatura del agua de mar Mediterráneo y la adaptación a los extremos atmosféricos (olas de calor, ll…

2017
El Valor Percibido es crucial para dos aproximaciones claves en Marketing: el Marketing Experiencial y el Service Dominant Logic (SDL), Sin embargo, la segunda no parece haber integrado toda la riqueza de la primera.

El estudio empírico plantea un índice de co-creación de Valor, soportado por un modelo estructural de orden jerárquico. que es testado con PLS en 240 huéspedes de hotel. Los resultados permiten refrendar que la co-creación de Valor es a…
How Target and Acquirer Firm can Create Value in the Integration Process in Order to Learn with and of the Partner?
2014
Acquisitions between firms can create value through learning between acquirer and target firm well transferring knowledge from on partner to the other well creating new knowledge. The success in these acquisitions relies on the integration process, achieving that the knowledge of both partners is retained in the combined firm and that new knowledge is created or transferred. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that knowledge is a source of value creation in acquisitions and to analyze how firms are integrated in order to achieve knowledge transfer or knowledge creation. Specifically, we analyze three key management choices of the integration process, the autonomy level, the level of soci…
Co-creation of IT-value in a cluster of small enterprises
2018
Abstract There is a growing emphasis on digital transformation in research and business practice. The creation of value from IT-investments is a critical factor in digital transformation. Research has documented that the ability to realize IT-value is a very challenging endeavor, especially for small enterprises who because of resource poverty are dependent on external input and cooperation with other companies. There is a general lack of research on the phenomenon of how IT-value is co-created, particularly in small firms. This paper reports from a study of a cluster of performing arts organizations, Blender Collective. They realized that audience data is a key issue, and that they lack th…
The Value of Stakeholder Mapping to Enhance Co-Creation in Citizen Science Initiatives
2019
This report aims to enhance our understanding of stakeholder mapping for co-created citizen science initiatives. It presents and discusses findings from an international two-day stakeholder mapping workshop with researchers, event organizers, communication experts, and artists realizing citizen science activities. Participants identified examples of co-creation in their work and mapped stakeholders for three co-creation initiatives from the “Doing It Together Science” project. For each case, we provide an overview of the stakeholder groups involved and the lessons derived from identifying actual and potential stakeholders in different phases of each activity and using different ways for map…
The relationship between institutions and value creation in software development models
2018
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the possibility for firms to consider institutional settings to systematically direct dispersed individual efforts of discovery and invention towards objects (products or processes) of their interest in order to enhance their value creation capacity. Design/methodology/approach The authors conduct a comparative analysis of the different institutional settings within which software products are invented and produced – closed producer-centred model, open user-centred model, and hybrid interactive producer-user model. Findings The authors draw indications regarding the possibility to design institutional settings for value creation and the poten…
