    Att försvara sin IP: Överklaganden mot patent, varumärken och design2020In: Management of Innovation and Technology, no 1, p. 3-5Article in journal (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    Det räcker inte längre att ansöka om och beviljas en immateriell rättighet (eller IP för ’intellectual property’) och sedan luta sig tillbaka. Företag behöver skifta fokus, vara proaktiva och bevaka och försvara sin IP. Ett sätt att göra detta är genom invändningar och överklaganden mot konkurrerande IP. Artikeln fokuserar på hur dessa aktiviteter utvecklats och hur ser det ut i Sverige idag.

    Att försvara ett patent: Den lilla aktörens utmaningar i patenttvister2023In: Management of Innovation and Technology, ISSN 2001-208X, no 1, p. 3-5Article in journal (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    Patenttvister i domstol utgör en viktig del av innovationssystemet, som möjliggör för uppfinnare och innovatörer att skydda sina uppfinningar. Det finns dock indikationer, både från forskning och praktik, på att mindre aktörer som småföretagare och uppfinnare stöter på oproportionerliga hinder när de gäller patentintrång och de juridiska processer som det innebär. Artikeln fokuserar på hur och varför dessa problem uppstår och pekar på möjliga förbättringar.

    Business (In-)Action: The International Chamber of Commerce and Climate Change from Stockholm to Rio2024Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper engages with the literature that has looked at the historical response to climate change among industries positioned to have had a far-reaching impact on changing the course of the climate crisis. While much of the historical research in this domain has focused on the role of big oil companies, the utility industry and conservative think tanks in the manufacturing of doubt regarding climate science and opposing ambitions climate policies, our focus is on the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) – the world’s largest transnational business association. Unlike individual multinational corporations, the ICC developed a close ties and collaborations with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which made ICC positioned to influence international policy discussions. This study finds that the ICC developed a dual strategy, which set aside climate change as the focus for discussion and business action. One strategy, led by ICC Environment Committee, involved intense collaboration with the United Nations and developing a business agenda for sustainable development. At the same time, the creation of the International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 and the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for a Framework Convention on Climate Change (INC) in 1991, gave rise to a parallel strategy, led by ICC’s related oil companies. As this study finds, the ICC’s Energy Committee developed close ties to the Global Climate Coalition, a front group designed to combat the scientific evidence of climate change. The paper concludes that the ICC was able to delay meaningful regulatory response to climate change the between 1988-1992 by forming a broad coalition of competing interests and collaborating with agencies established under the auspices of the United Nations.

    Green Innovation Systems in Swedish Industry, 1960–19892011In: Business history review, ISSN 0007-6805, E-ISSN 2044-768X, Vol. 85, no 4, p. 677-698Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Organizational networks had a strong influence on the diffusion of green knowledge within the Swedish pulp-and-paper industry from the mid-1960s to the 1980s. The environmental adaptations made by this industrial sector were not merely the result of a corporate initiative or of the response by firms or industries to environmental regulation. An examination of the innovation-system approach that was used to further the industry's environmental goals reveals that the knowledge and technology development underpinning the project depended on a network of diverse actors. Within this network, the semi-governmental Institute for Water and Air Protection, working with a consulting company, was a critical generator and intermediary of knowledge. Thus, the success of the project was largely due to the Institute's balanced relations with government and industry.

    Command-and-control revisited: Environmental compliance and technological change in Swedish industry 1970–19902013In: Ecological Economics, ISSN 0921-8009, E-ISSN 1873-6106, Vol. 85, p. 6-19Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper addresses the issue of environmental policy instrument choice for achieving deep emission reductions in the industrial sector. Specifically, it provides: (a) a theoretical and empirical review of the conditions under which performance standards can provide efficient incentives for deep emission reductions and technology adoption; and (b) an analysis of the design and the outcomes of the standards-based regulation of industrial pollutants in Sweden during the period 1970–1990. Our empirical findings suggest that the Swedish regulatory approach comprised many key elements of an efficient policy-induced transition towards radically lower emissions in the metal smelting and pulp and paper industries. The regulation relied solely on performance standards, thus granting flexibility to firms in terms of selecting the appropriate compliance measures. These standards were implemented in combination with extended compliance periods. R&D projects and the new knowledge that was advanced incrementally in interaction between the company, the environmental authorities and research institutions provided a direct catalyst to the regulatory process. In these ways the Swedish regulatory approach provided scope for creative solutions, environmental innovation, and permitted the affected companies to coordinate pollution abatement measures with productive investments.

    Family business and business history: An example of comparative research2014In: Business History, ISSN 0007-6791, E-ISSN 1743-7938, Vol. 56, no 1, p. 37-53Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper deals with one of the pillars of contemporary business history - the use of cross-national comparisons. Besides the longitudinal, the comparative perspective is a crucial dimension of business and economic history research. During the last decades several attempts have been made to illustrate the process of development and structuring of national markets and corporations both currently and in a historical perspective, through the use of a comparative method. This paper aims to point out the possibilities and problems with this approach. It especially highlights the role of institutional factors and changes as important determinants for national development and as obstacles for good comparative exercises. It also discusses the role of functional and coherent definitions in comparative research and the problems connected with data collection and analysis. The main research question is how cross-national comparisons can help us develop business history research further. A comparison between family firms in Italy and Sweden shows that the development of family business in these two countries exhibited extensive similarities during the early decades of the twentieth century. However after World War II the two countries became more diversified in terms of their industrial structure. While Swedish family firms became an important part of national big business, Italian family businesses developed into smaller and more flexible organisations. Thus, today in Sweden several family-owned and controlled firms are among the largest in the country, particularly in capital- and technology-intensive industries. Italian family firms, even if present among the largest in the country, are largely in industries other than high tech, and show a degree of organisational sophistication inferior to their Swedish counterparts. This paper discusses the driving forces behind this development, showing how the explicit use of the comparative, longitudinal approach can highlight the patterns of convergence and divergence across national business models.

    Rights of Nature meets the Swedish Constitution2024In: Nordisk miljörättslig tidskrift, E-ISSN 2000-4273, no 2Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Can nature have rights, or is this idea bound to be considered odd, frightening or even laughable as Christopher Stone stated when arguing for nature’s rights in his seminal article in 1972? The idea is based on the view that nature should be allowed to exist on its own terms and not on man’s. Expectations are that such an approach will become a tool for changing the view of the relationship between man and nature. In modern Western legal systems however, nature is primarily seen as property. Property usually has one or more owners with far-reaching rights to dispose of it. The idea that nature has rights is therefore new and radical; it represents a shift in the balance of power between humans and nature. The purpose of this article is to investigate how the current Swedish constitutional protection of nature may relate to the dea of the rights of nature. How is nature, environment, climate and nature negotiated in the existing legal and constitutional framework? With examples from the Cementa and the Girjas cases we discuss how the constitutional issues involved are legally interpreted and politically negotiated in ways leading to environment and nature being downplayed. Examples discussed are the Cementa and the Girjas cases, which both led to Government actions and interventions. The question is if nature would have a stronger position, were it given rights of its own, and if could fit in the constitutional system or. Or is it a strange bird?

    Business history and legal history2014In: Business History, ISSN 0007-6791, E-ISSN 1743-7938, Vol. 56, no 1, p. 54-70Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The relation between corporations, the market and the legal framework is crucial for understanding the development and function of the modern enterprise. The legal framework determines - and is determined by - the development of economic life, nationally, regionally and internationally. Business historians have often used legal material in their studies, however usually from a strict business history perspective. Drawing also from legal theory and method can contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between law and business, for example in terms of concepts such as hard law', soft law' and co-regulation'. In the same way, legal scholarship has dealt with business law, but would benefit from borrowing tools from the business history toolkit. Institutional theory is one of the pillars of this article, together with theories and methods focusing on law as a non-stable, multi-layer system with porous borders. The analysis starts with a discussion of the relationship between business history and legal history from a theoretical and methodological perspective. It continues with two cases at the borderland of business history and legal history: finance and fashion. Both cases serve as illustrations for the different roles that the state can assume as well as the different methodological approaches that are needed for an analysis of the state activities and the interaction between state, market and business.

    National implications of EU harmonization: the case of banks' reporting requirements in Sweden2019Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this paper is to discuss how internationally formulated policies and regulation of banks affect national supervisory practices and what consequences this may have on the form and quality of banking supervision conducted on the national level. Using the case of Swedish banks’ reporting requirements, we argue that the last decade of EU level regulatory reforms are motivated by a different “regulatory agreement” (Young 2016) than the Swedish one. In the decade since the global financial crisis 2007-2009, banking regulation reforms appear to be shaped by a view that all financial institutions are more or less immoral and cannot be trusted to self-regulate. The development can be characterized as a move from a dialogue based relationship between the supervisor and the supervised (Roberts, 2009) and being based on fairly high levels of trust (Tomkins, 2001), to a more quantitative and centralized supervision based on collection and comparison of large amounts of standardized quantitative data. We argue that Swedish financial regulation and supervision traditionally were based on the notion of dialogue and mutual trust and less on extensive reporting requirements. Thus, for Sweden to conform to the post-crisis international regulatory framework, this means abandoning what appears to be a fairly well-functioning national arrangement.

    Multiple paper monies in Sweden, 1789-1903: substitution or complementarity?2008In: Financial History Review, ISSN 0968-5650, E-ISSN 1474-0052, Vol. 15, no 1, p. 73-91Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Complementarity of money means that two or more kinds of monies together fulfil the demands of the users better than they would without the existence of the other(s). In this article we study complementarity between paper monies in Sweden. We address four questions: 1. What was used as money at a macro-level (money supply) and at a micro-level (monetary remittances)? 2. What was the relative value of different monies in parallel circulation? 3. Were there seasonal variations in use and/or value of these monies? 4. Were there geographical variations in use and value? What we find is that the complementarity helped to solve the problem of providing sufficient liquidity domestically over time and space and thus contributed to the maintenance of a stable value of the currency.

    This volume brings together a leading group of scholars to offer a new perspective on the history of conflicts and trade, focusing on the role of small and medium, or "weak", and often neutral states. Existing historiography has often downplayed the importance of such states in world trade, during armed conflicts, and as important agents in the expanding trade and global connections of the last 250 years. The country studies demonstrate that these states played a much bigger role in world and bilateral trade than has previously been assumed, and that this role was augmented by the emergence of truly global conflicts and total war. In addition to careful country or comparative studies, this book provides new data on trade and shipping during wars and examines the impact of this trade on the individual states' economies. It spans the period from the late 18th century to the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War of the 20th century, a crucial period of change in the concept and practice of neutrality and trade, as well as periods of transition in the nature and technology of warfare. This book will be of great interest to scholars of economic history, comparative history, international relations, and political science.

    Formalization of banking supervision: 19th-20th Centuries2022Book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This open access book is the first attempt to elaborate the formalization phase of banking supervision in eight developed countries—USA, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and UK. This innovative study in the field of banking supervision history identifies why national histories of banking supervision share similarities, but also remain different and are heavily path dependent. This book will be of great interest not only to financial/economic historians but also to general readers interested in banking supervision, i.e., students, bankers, supervisors, and international officials.

    The Birth of the Finance Consumer: Feminists, Bankers and the Re-Gendering of Finance in Mid-Twentieth-Century Sweden2023In: Contemporary European History, ISSN 0960-7773, E-ISSN 1469-2171, p. 1-20Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article examines a series of financial study courses for women in 1950s Sweden, jointly organised by commercial banks and an important non-partisan women's organisation, the Fredrika Bremer Association. The aim is to highlight and explain historical connections between feminism and financialisation. I argue that the feminist aspiration to emancipate women from the curtailments of ‘petty’ domestic finance aligned with the banks’ desire to domesticate financial markets. The performances of ‘female finance’ in these campaigns – striking a balance between PR and empowerment – contributed to the making of a new historical figure, not that of the female investor but rather the consumer of finance. The article not only demonstrates the role of gender in the financialisation of everyday life and in the domestication of finance, but also uncovers a longer pre-history behind these processes that are conventionally associated with neoliberalisation in later decades.

    The role and intensity of export tariffs in trade policy: Scandinavia, 1780–18702022In: International Journal of Maritime History, ISSN 0843-8714, E-ISSN 2052-7756, Vol. 34, no 4, p. 576-596Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Export taxation holds a particular place within trade policy, especially so during the mercantilist era. While governments tried to ensure consistent export surpluses, they would at the same time put tariffs on those goods, possibly impeding export growth. This article quantifies export duties in Denmark and Sweden during close to a century, to analyze which intensity they had over time and which role they played within trade policy. The article finds that these taxes were at times rather high, particularly on raw materials partly reserved for domestic use or refinement. The fiscal dimension of export taxation clearly played an important role as well, as revenue needs often delayed the removal of tariffs. One conclusion is that the regulation of exports presents an interesting case of political conflict, between promoting growth and filling state coffers.

    The development of Swedish commercial banking, from establishment to consolidation: A presentation of a new database, 1866-19382019Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents the long-run development of Swedish commercialbanking. It does so through data newly compiled into a database onaggregate and bank-level between 1866 and 1938. The database containsvariables such as lending, deposits, capital, expenses, holding of bondsand stocks, loan losses, profits, and dividends. The data is used to studysuch issues as market concentration, profitability, andefficiency/productivity. The paper shows that markets for lending anddeposits skyrocketed from 1880, which made commercial banks theleading financial institution in Sweden. The commercial banks then lostpart of their dominant position from about 1918, as the banks sufferedlarge losses and many reconstructions during the crises of 1921 and1932. The second half of the period saw a sharp increase in marketconcentration, with larger banks acquiring many small- and mediumsized competitors. We conclude that Swedish commercial banking duringthe period was essentially one of two distinct halves, with the first beingcompetitive and expansionary and the second distinguished byconcentration and contraction.

    240 years of Swedish terms of trade: structure, volatility, and connection to economic growth2023Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper we present new foreign trade- and price data to analyze Swedish terms of trade in the very long run, from 1780 to 2018. We examine what influenced the trend in the terms of trade in the long run, particularly in how it related to the general trade structure. We also analyze the volatility of the terms of trade, and discuss how it might have affected economic growth in Sweden. The index improved slowly but substantially over the century from 1850 to 1950, which was likely connected to another poignant trend, a steadily increasing share of manufactures and finished goods in the export basket. In comparative perspective, Sweden had more industrial exports and lower export concentration than most of the rest of the European periphery, as well as much lower terms of trade volatility. We find that the growth trend and low volatility of Swedish terms of trade was positively connected with economic growth, but only really so from about 1850 to 1913. During this period the development of the terms of trade was particularly connected to increasing investment in new industries. The years from 1914 to 1960 were on the other hand characterized by high volatility in the terms of trade, and was still connected to high growth rates, such as during the interwar period. Hence, we conclude that while low volatility was connected to the onset of Swedish industrialization, it was also possible to maintain high growth rates during periods of high terms of trade volatility.

    Strategic transformations in Danish and Swedish big business in an era of globalisation, 1973-20082011In: Business History, ISSN 0007-6791, E-ISSN 1743-7938, Vol. 53, no 1, p. 119-143Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article concerns the corporate responses to the economic integration process from 1973 to 2008 in two small, open European countries, Denmark and Sweden. It focuses on strategic relations regarding the integration process and analyses the changing diversification patterns and internationalisation levels. The hypothesis from the economic integration literature indicates that we could expect a high degree of core business focus combined with a high degree of internationalisation concurrently with the economic integration process. The Danish case confirmed this prediction in a clear and substantial way, while the Swedish diversification pattern was marked by the continuous importance of diversification in the period from 1973 to 1993. This confirms the findings of Whittington and Mayer, who investigated the development of the largest British, French and German manufacturing enterprises. But the result also indicates that diversification perhaps proved to be less important after 1993 when the process of 'Europeanisation' dynamics was succeeded by the globalisation processes including the fast growing economies in South East Asia.

    Appearances can be deceiving: The Swedish Bank Act and actor influence in different regulatory regimes2024In: Business History, ISSN 0007-6791, E-ISSN 1743-7938, p. 1-22Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, the influence over the development of the Swedish Bank Act between 1912 and 1968 is studied using preference attainment. Results show that the Financial Supervisory Authority was the most influential actor until 1933, when the Bank Act became gradually stricter. Between 1955 and 1968, the Bankers’ Association grew more influential and the Bank Act was liberalised. The regime perspective on regulatory development suggests that regulation was more liberal during the Classic regime in the early twentieth century when business interests prevailed, and stricter from around the 1930s in the State regime when government control increased. The results are thus contrary to the regime perspective. It is proposed that economic ideas that were engrained in the regulatory institution from its foundation were more important to the long-term development of that institution and of the influence exerted over it, rather than prevailing ideas embodied in regulatory regimes.

    Abstract [sv]

    Tre olika makroekonomiska regleringsregimer präglade 1900-talet. När dessa skiftade var det inte som plötsliga händelser eller som en enkelriktad utveckling åt ett särskilt håll. I stället innehöll regimerna ofta motsägelsefulla tendenser och regimskiftena tog lång tid. Synen på regimskiften som en pendelrörelse mellan exempelvis mer eller mindre reglering är en vilseledande förenkling. Nu står vi eventuellt inför en ny regim med nya förutsättningar och krav på politiken. Det är därför en lämplig tidpunkt att se tillbaka på tidigare regimer och regimskiften.
