Developing Surveys on Questionable Research Practices: Four Challenging Design Problems
The exposure of scientific scandals and the increase of dubious research practices have generated a stream of studies on Questionable Research Practices (QRPs), such as failure to acknowledge co-authors, selective presentation of findings, or removal of data not supporting desired outcomes. In contrast to high-profile fraud cases, QRPs can be investigated using quantitative, survey-based methods. However, several design issues remain to be solved…
Minimizing Questionable Research Practices – The Role of Norms, Counter Norms, and Micro-Organizational Ethics Discussion
Breaches of research integrity have gained considerable attention due to high-profile scandals involving questionable research practices by reputable scientists. These practices include plagiarism, manipulation of authorship, biased presentation of findings and misleading reports of significance. To combat such practices, policymakers tend to rely on top-down measures, mandatory ethics training and stricter regulation, despite limited evidence of…
A societal perspective on self-employment - Sweden as an example
European Union policies emphasise the importance of entrepreneurship and self-employment to maintain economic growth, a solution influenced by the USA and research from schools of business. There are expectations of higher education graduates that they are innovative, will start businesses and will employ others. However, transferring a solution from one country to another may not be as simple as that. This study questions the recommendations mad…
Entrepreneurship Education for Women—European Policy Examples of Neoliberal Feminism
Entrepreneurship education is seen as a way to get more women into their own businesses. This paper reports on pedagogical interventions designed to accomplish this. Policies on entrepreneurship education produced by the European Union from 2004 to 2018 were categorized according to the research questions: How are women to be educated? What subjects should be taught? And by whom? Policy analysis combined with a neoliberal feminist perspective was…
Transition pathways revisited: Established firms as multi-level actors in the heavy vehicle industry
Self-employment and field of education understood from current entrepreneurship research
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to look at how results from a large-scale study can be understood in the context of contemporary gender and entrepreneurship research. Design/methodology/approach – This study is inspired by a mixed methods methodology. To gain a qualitative understanding of the general patterns in a large-scale study, research results in articles from the International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship (IJGE) were used…

The motherhood penalty and the professional credential: Inequality in career development for those with professional degrees
Transitions from education to work constitute a distinct set of situations where discrimination is likely to occur. Gender beliefs generally disadvantage women, and when coupled with beliefs regarding parental responsibility, tend to heavily disadvantage mothers. Yet we suggest that professional credentials create a divided labour market, with ameliorative effects. Credentials tend to match specifically to jobs and replace other means of determin…
Technological discontinuities and the challenge for incumbent firms: Destruction, disruption or creative accumulation?
The Influence of Gender, Social Class and National Background on Education and Work Career
In this Swedish study, the combined effects of gender, social and national background on transition within the school system and into the labour market are examined. Education has been perceived in some studies as something that neutralises discrimination. However, immigrants, who have studied at the tertiary level in Sweden, are still less likely to obtain jobs matching those of their Swedish counterparts. Students with well-educated parents are…

Transition of higher education graduates to the labour market: Are Employment Procedures More Meritocratic in the Public Sector
As an employer, the public sector might be expected to be more meritocratic than the private sector, because of its democratic values and more transparent appointments procedures. In this context meritocratic means that the employer only considers characteristics such as degree and grades, relevant for the position in question. The individuals in this study have completed one of four higher education degrees, and are aged 30–32 years (n = 22,133)…
The Influence of Higher Education Institutions on Labor Market Outcomes
In this study, different institutions of higher education and their effects on employment opportunities for professionals in Sweden are compared and analyzed. The availability of extensive, longitudinal register data made it possible to determine a match between degree and occupation for higher education graduates aged twenty-six to twenty-eight years (N = 8,675). Multiple multinomial regression analysis was used. In line with previous research, …
Broadening recruitment to higher education through the admission system: Gender and Class Perspectives
Alternative entrance routes into higher education have been established in Sweden in order to facilitate the entrance of under‐represented groups of students. The question is whether or not the additional entrance possibilities have served their purpose and, if so, to what extent. This is a longitudinal study using register data on one whole cohort, with the aim to follow these individuals' educational careers up to university matriculation. The …
Japan as Number Two: Competitive Problems and the Future of Alliance Capitalism after the Burst of the Bubble Boom
The Japanese onslaught in export markets in the 1970s and 1980s evoked an enormous interest from academics of all kinds, who attempted to locate the causes of Japanese supremacy in production management, supplier relations and employment practices as well as in its forms of corporate control. Recently, the predictions of Japan as Number One have turned out to be wrong, and the United States has emerged as a pre-eminent competitor, not only in com…
Pyramider eller horisontella nät? Kreativitet, kompetensutveckling och prestationskrav i olika slags industriella produktionssystem
Pyramids or horisontal nets? Creativity, competence and performance in different types of production systemsIn recent years, we have witnessed a marked increase in the international interest in industrial networks and in relations between manufacturers and suppliers. An important reason for this is the expansion of the Japanese automobile industry. This industry is organized into a huge structure of subcontractors, vertically related and dominate…
Lean Production-The End of History
One of the most influential books that has been published in recent years is the MIT study The Machine that Changed the World by Womack, Jones and Roos (1990). The book combines detailed empirical comparisons with bold and sweeping assertions. The Japanese management system or 'lean production', Womack et al. argue, is not only the world's most efficient system for manufacturing cars. It is the one best way of organizing all kinds of industrial p…
