  • In Search of Newness

    Open AccessKasper Tang Vangkilde, Breslin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business Anthropology2023

    In the past decades, it has been hard to ignore that a key characteristic of business is an unmistakable preoccupation, perhaps even obsession, with newness.In all corners of business, newness -along with its many allied notions such as creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, all of which are centered around newness in one way or another -is considered to be absolutely critical for survival."Create/Innovate or die.This is the takenfor-grant…

  • Back to Copenhagen

    Open AccessKasper Tang Vangkilde, Breslin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business Anthropology2022

    Ever since Marcel Mauss wrote about the gift and Bronislaw Malinowski about the Kula, it has been something of an anthropological truism that things have social lives.

    Denne artikel omhandler en organisatorisk forandringsproces i et skandinavisk statsselskab, hvor ledelsen ser innovation som et instrument til at sikre fremtidig overlevelse. Forfatteren beskriver, hvordan de organisatoriske enheder og mennesker, som repræsenterer det innovative, bliver mødt med kritik og modstand, da de kan være med til at forstyrre eksisterende arbejdsforhold og i værste fald medføre destruktion i form af omvæltninger og nedskæ…

Furthermore, it (re)locates innovation “i…
