The labor market regimes of Denmark and Norway – One Nordic model?
The literature on the Danish and Norwegian labor market systems emphasizes the commonalities of the two systems. We challenge this perception by investigating how employers in multinational companies in Denmark and Norway communicate with employees on staffing changes. We argue that the development of ‘flexicurity’ in Denmark grants Danish employers considerably greater latitude in engaging in staffing changes than its Nordic counterpart, Norway.…
National embeddedness and calculative human resource management in US subsidiaries in Europe and Australia
This article presents a study of the degree to which national institutional settings impact on the application of management practices in foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies. Applying the national business systems approach our study centres on the use of calculative human resource management (HRM) practices by subsidiaries of US multinational companies in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark/Norway and Australia, respectively, in compari…
The second‐rate second chance? A comparison of the fates of mature graduates in the labour market in Britain and Norway
This comparative study was inspired by work done by Paul Gooderham on the socio‐economic outcomes of adult education in Norway. Studies of this aspect of the efficiency of adult education have not been a priority among researchers and the most attention has been paid to inputs, i.e. profiling students at the point of entry into further and higher education, rather than outputs. In both Britain and Norway from the mid‐1970s there has been official…
Evolving a framework for the study of dropout
The starting point for the paper is that dropout is a frequently observed problem for adult education practitioners not least of all for part‐time, examination‐orientated studies. Although it is often maintained that the field of adult education has failed to develop any sound theoretical understanding of the causes of dropout a number of theories are identified, each of which has been shown to have some degree of validity. These theories may gro…
A conceptual framework of sociological perspectives on the pursuit by adults of access to higher education
The starting point for this paper is the current ambition in Norway and other countries to increase the rate of entry into higher education of mature students. Intransigency amongst suppliers of higher education on entry standards means that any such increase must involve a greater preparedness amongst adults to pursue access to higher education via participation in higher secondary education. The purpose of this paper is to improve our understan…
