    Making the leap to e-leadership: The transition process of a leader making the leap from traditional face-to-face leadership into e-leadership while adopting Information Communication Technology (ICT).2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In the world of leadership, one can be sure of continues changes in the work environment. Human interactions are more commonly mediated by Information Communication Technology (ICT) which has required significant changes in the leadership approach. While the goals and objectives are the same in traditional leadership, the rapid growth of digitalization and globalization has brought an "E" into the leadership. The "E" describes the new medium being used while the practice of leadership continue to deal with the traditional issues of vision, direction, motivation, inspiration, trust, etc. Therefore, in this thesis, the aim is to understand the processes through which individuals make the transition to e-leadership while adopting ICT. An exploratory, qualitative research design was chosen. Interviews of five e-leaders were conducted and the data was collected, coded and categorized into subthemes and main themes. The findings build on the work of Bridges (1991) and contributes to it by providing new elements to the transition process. These added elements are phases that the leaders must go through in the transition process to e-leadership. The finding suggests a virtual transition model based on Bridges transition model, consisting of (1) The Ending, (2) Mindfulness, (3) Internal sensemaking, (4) Purposeful practice, (5) Rebirth, (6) New beginning. These findings contribute to the research in the field of e-leadership by presenting a new model to explain the transition process and to better understand how to manage the transition.

    Sustainable Entrepreneurship Intention among Business Students of Developed and Developing Countries: A Comparative Study of Sweden and Pakistan2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study compares the sustainable entrepreneurial objectives of business students in Sweden and Pakistan. The study investigates the effect of action planning, action knowledge, cultural values, educational systems, availability of resources, and business environment on entrepreneurship intention using action regulation theory. Beginning with a literature review on sustainable entrepreneurship and business student objectives, the investigation is then conducted. The section then compares the effects of action regulation theory and action planning on sustainable entrepreneurial objectives in industrialized and developing countries. Knowledge availability and acquisition influence the entrepreneurial inclinations of business pupils in these nations.

    The study also investigates how cultural values, educational systems, and organizational contexts influence action planning, action knowledge, action planning, and entrepreneurial sustainability aspirations in developed and developing countries. Determine how contextual factors influence the entrepreneurial aspirations of business students. Despite these disparities, both Swedish and Pakistani business students value sustainable entrepreneurship. Business students in Sweden have greater access to specialized resources, support networks, and government initiatives that promote sustainable entrepreneurship and action planning. Despite resource, infrastructure, and educational constraints, Pakistani business students comprehend sustainability and wish to incorporate it into their operations.

    According to the study, resources, and assistance influence sustainable entrepreneurship action planning, knowledge, and intentions. Students in Sweden enjoy the advantages of well- developed programs, specialized curriculum, mentoring, and networking. Students in Pakistan develop business proposals utilizing personal networks, self-directed studies, and online resources. Both countries' entrepreneurial proclivities are influenced by risk-taking and self- assurance. To become viable entrepreneurial endeavors, these aspirations require resources, action planning, and action competence. According to the research, support networks, government regulations, technology, education, money, and resources influence the entrepreneurial tendencies of business students in affluent and developing nations. It also emphasizes the need to address resource, educational, and support system gaps in both contexts to promote sustainable entrepreneurship, economic development, social well-being, and environmental stewardship. This study sheds light on the entrepreneurial aspirations of business students in developed and developing countries, as well as the contextual factors that influence them.

    The role of human capital in loan officers' decision policies2016In: Decision making in entrepreneurship: selected joint papers of Dean A. Shepherd / [ed] Dean A Shepherd, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2016, p. 315-336Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Using a human-capital perspective and the similarity-attraction paradigm, we examine the role of general and specific human capital in the decision policies of 114 Swedish loan officers in their assessments of small-business loan requests. We found that human capital characteristics had marginal impact on decision policy contingencies and that specific human capital had no significant influence on the probability of loan approval. However, we did find that the similarity between the loan officers’ human capital and the pplicants’ human capital was a significant indicator of loan approval. The findings offer interesting insight into the heterogeneity of loan decision processes and outcomes and future research opportunities are suggested.

    Managing Mission Drift In Social Business Hybrids: An Exploratory Study On Strategies That Employees Of Social Business Hybrids Apply To Mitigate The Risk Of Mission Drift2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Background:

    Rising global uncertainty and volatility have changed how businesses envision themselves and their future. Particularly Social Business Hybrids emphasize the importance of purpose beyond profit. Their aim is to develop a more inclusive and green economy by pursuing and creating both financial and social value. This aim, however, comes with the risk of mission drift, meaning that the organization could prioritize one value at the expense of the other. As this is an emergent strategic dilemma in the field of social entrepreneurship, it is prudent to find ways to manage the risk of mission drift. In this context, considerable attention has to be given to the question of how employees of Social Business Hybrids manage the risk of mission drift, as their viewpoint has mostly been neglected by prior scholarship.

    Purpose:

    The purpose of the present study is to provide an understanding of why the management of mission drift is relevant for Social Business Hybrids and to give new insights into perspectives that employees of Social Business Hybrids have towards tactics and strategies that support successful management of mission drift. By researching the critical role that employees play as stakeholders in the context of mission drift management, we aim to enrich current literature by deriving new insights into strategies that can help Social Business Hybrids successfully balance their dual objectives.

    Method:

    This study is based on: Qualitative, inductive research; Ontology – Relativism; Epistemology – Social Constructionism; Methodology – Grounded Theory; Data Collection – 12 semi-structured in-depth Interviews; Sampling – Purposive, Snowball; Data Analysis – Grounded Analysis 

    Conclusion:

    In our findings, we ascertained distinct sources that anticipate a risk for mission drift. Further, we identified detailed tactics that can significantly support the management of mission drift. Finally, resulting from the findings, a framework was developed, that proposes five distinctive overarching strategies, which are enabled by two underlying mechanisms that employees in Social Business Hybrids apply to manage mission drift.

    The role of social and human capital among nascent entrepreneurs2003In: Journal of Business Venturing, ISSN 0883-9026, E-ISSN 1873-2003, Vol. 18, no 3, p. 301-331Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines nascent entrepreneurship by comparing individuals engaged in nascent activities (n=380) with a control group (n=608), after screening a sample from the general population (n=30,427). The study then follows the developmental process of nascent entrepreneurs for 18 months. Bridging and bonding social capital, consisting of both strong and weak ties, was a robust predictor for nascent entrepreneurs, as well as for advancing through the start-up process. With regard to outcomes like first sale or showing a profit, only one aspect of social capital, viz. being a member of a business network, had a statistically significant positive effect. The study supports human capital in predicting entry into nascent entrepreneurship, but only weakly for carrying the start-up process towards successful completion.

    Institutional forces: The invisible hand that shapes venture ideas?2006In: International Small Business Journal, ISSN 0266-2426, E-ISSN 1741-2870, Vol. 24, no 2, p. 115-131Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Institutional theory is employed for examining how and to what extent external pressure leads to changes in the venture idea during the start-up and early life of new, knowledge-intensive ventures. From a population of 321 young, knowledge-intensive firms that underwent a training program at Linkping University, Sweden, structured telephone interview data were obtained from 167 firms. The results confirmed that the venture idea had undergone more change in ventures that had more external owners, a dominant customer, and an incubator location. The results imply that institutional theory is a meaningful tool for understanding why and how venture ideas change over time.

    Brand Extenstion in Pakistan: Insights from Brand Managers2010Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Abstract

    There have been few studies on brand extensions in a Pakistan context. In this thesis, we study brand extensions in Pakistan from viewpoint of Brand Managers as their analysis coupled with their personal preferences can provide interesting insights for forming a successful brand extension strategy. Since T. Gamble first published an article about brand extensions (1967) there has been a growing interest for the topic. With the passage of time the inbuilt benefits of brand extensions in terms of cost and higher success rates were captured by companies in developing countries like Pakistan. In this thesis, we make theoretical arguments for, and show empirically that growth may not be the ultimate objective for companies in Pakistan. Instead, companies are compelled to follow the bandwagon so as to match competitors. It has been indicated that small firms might be in a better position to take advantage of below-the-line promotions in comparison to larger firms. Cannibalization of sales due to brand extensions was described to be non-existent in Pakistan until a company embarks on e-commerce initiative. Successful brand extensions, as defined by the brand managers are measured in terms of independent sales and market share captured by a brand stretch. Based on how the brand managers in this study perceived brand extensions, it could be a feasible marketing strategy in Pakistan.

    Purpose

    The purpose of this thesis is to explore the use of brand extension strategies in the Pakistan context. We will try to achieve this purpose by answering the following questions.

    1)      Why do companies in general and specially in Pakistan use brand extension?                                                                  

    2)      Do the general pros and cons of brand extension hold the same applicability in Pakistan?

    3)      How brand managers in Pakistan describe a successful brand extension?

    Method

    A qualitative method was incorporated in order to achieve our exploratory purpose of the study. In total, we performed five interviews. Three extensive telephone interviews were carried out with brand managers representing three seasoned companies from the domain of healthcare (Z-Jans), retailing (Chen One) and dairy foods industries (Haleeb) for finding out brand managers viewpoint on brand extensions in Pakistan. These interviews were conducted via telephone and recorded for our thesis purposes. In addition, one of the authors visited Pakistan and conducted two face-to-face interviews with Lakson Group of Industries (media, fast food and consumer goods) and Servis Group which is operating in (Shoes, Pharmacies, Tires & Tube) businesses.

    Conclusion

    It is suggested that the concept of brand manager is in the rudimentary stages of development in Pakistan. One reason for this is that domestic companies are carrying out brand extensions under the heading of marketing managers compared with Multinationals (MNEs) whose brand extensions strategies are mostly prepared at their headquarters. It has also been indicated that small companies could benefit the most from brand extension in terms of attaining greater consumer trials, increased market share, and growth by competing in international markets as they can easily use a mixture of Below-the-line and Above-the-line promotions for their extensions. A good distribution channel coupled with a strong brand portfolio can facilitate success for brand extension as the companies can then negotiate with dealers and retailers from a position of strength. Due to the huge population in Pakistan companies might neglect the fact that their brand extensions can fail. Since, the population is very large it might be hard for small and medium sized companies to cover the whole country and to find out in reality if their brand extension was a success on a country wide basis.  It has also been concluded that majority of the consumers are photo-literate with no or very little formal education therefore they find difficult to assess brand extensions and to make educated brand buying decision in light of quality standards. The market as a whole is price sensitive (low prices) so brand extensions with good price and value for customer are more likely to perform well over Pakistan market.
