Organizing exclusion
Purpose This study investigates how informal recruitment practices in Nordic banking institutions reproduce gendered exclusion beneath formal equality policies.

The Future of Higher Education, Readiness for the Open Innovation Paradigm
The open innovation (OI) paradigm has significantly impacted higher education, especially within the context of the global networks of societies. The COVID-19 pandemic spurred innovation, creating online educational communities and transforming the academic approach. While OI, the movement towards online learning, and the industry-academia cooperation for a better grounding in labor market demands have been discussed in previous studies, this qua…

The open innovation paradigm has evolved from its incipient form, namely Schumpeter’s new production function from 1912, to the current context of a global network of societies, including virtual communities that produce innovative ideas and industry applications through knowledge transfer. The role of industry-university cooperation and networks is widely recognized within the current academic approach. However, the context of higher education, …
Debt Reduction for Economic Resurrection and Redistribution
In October 2008, Iceland faced a severe crisis when its financial system collapsed, leading to economic, social, political, and international turmoil. The currency plummeted, asset prices fell, inflation surged, real wages declined, and unemployment soared, sparking public unrest. Citizens lost trust in institutions and each other as blame for the crisis spread widely. In response, successive governments implemented innovative policies to aid rec…
Making a difference
The COVID-19 crisis and countries’ reactions led to analyses about how governance systems influenced the management of the pandemic and how COVID-19 influenced businesses. The concept of institutional resilience transcends these directions of research, but we know little about what it means and how to measure it. This paper proposes an innovative framework to conceptualize and assess institutional resilience based on three organisational traits: …
Private–public collaboration in Iceland
Iceland’s 360,000-person population has been gradually rebuilding its trust in public institutions after the harsh financial crisis of 2008–2010. The country was once again shaken in 2020; this time by the arrival of COVID-19 with its extreme impact on the country, including its number one sector, tourism, which came to a grinding halt in March 2020. Iceland’s swift response to battle the pandemic garnered headlines around the world for its publi…
