”Culture shock in Maersk Line” is the first detailed description of the significant cultural changes, which have taken place in one of Denmark’s most iconic companies. Using access to more than 110 Maersk Line employees, ranging from students and secretaries to partners, it is a description which takes the reader inside headquarters on Esplanaden in Copenhagen.

”Culture shock in Maersk Line” is the first detailed description of the significant cultural changes, which have taken place in one of Denmark’s most iconic companies. Using access to more than 110 Maersk Line employees, ranging from students and secretaries to partners, it is a description which takes the reader inside headquarters on Esplanaden in Copenhagen.

This is the insider story of how the Maersk people themselves have experienced the changes over the past 15 years. It has been a turbulent period, where old virtues have been replaced, and the old anarchistic entrepreneurs have been replaced by a modern and professional focus on hard results.

As most Maersk employees who participated in the book acknowledge: ”Maersk Line today, and Maersk Line 10 years ago, have only two things in common: They ship containers, and they are headquartered on Esplanaden in Copenhagen. Everything else has changed,” Vis mindre

Kulturskælvet i Mærsk Line beskriver for første gang den markante ændring der er sket med kulturen i en af Danmarks mest ikoniske virksomheder. Med adgang til mere end 110 Mærsk Line ansatte, rangerende fra elever og sekretærer til skibsredere, er det en beskrivelse der bringer læseren helt indenfor murene i hovedkontoret på Esplanaden i København.

Dette er insider historien om, hvordan Mærsk folkene selv har oplevet ændringerne de sidste 15 år. Det har været en turbulent periode, hvor… Vis mere

Med adgang til mere end 110 Mærsk Line ansatte, rangerende fra elever og sekretærer til skibsredere, er det en beskrivelse der bringer læseren helt indenfor murene i hovedkontoret på Esplanaden i København.

Dette er insider historien om, hvordan Mærsk folkene selv har oplevet ændringerne de sidste 15 år. Det har været en turbulent periode, hvor gamle dyder er erstattet af nye, og tidligere tiders anarkistiske iværksættere er blevet erstattet af et moderne professionelt fokus på resultatstyring.

Som de fleste Mærsk ansatte der har bidraget til denne bog medgiver: ”Mærsk Line i dag, og Mærsk Line for 10 år siden, har to ting tilfælles: De flytter containere og de har hovedkontor på Esplanaden. Ellers er alt forandret.”

We study the diffusion equation in two-dimensional quantum gravity, and show that the spectral dimension is two despite the fact that the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension of the ensemble of two-dimensional geometries is very different from two. We determine the scaling properties of the quantum gravity averaged diffusion kernel.

We couple c=-2 matter to 2-dimensional gravity within the framework of dynamical triangulations. We use a very fast algorithm, special to the c=-2 case, in order to test scaling of correlation functions defined in terms of geodesic distance and we determine the fractal dimension d_H with high accuracy. We find d_H=3.58(4), consistent with a prediction coming from the study of diffusion in the context of Liouville theory, and that the quantum space-time possesses the same fractal properties at… Vis mere

We study the fractal structure of space-time of two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to c=-2 conformal matter by means of computer simulations. We find that the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension d_H = 3.58 +/- 0.04. This result supports the conjecture d_H = -2 \alpha_1/\alpha_{-1}, where \alpha_n is the gravitational dressing exponent of a spinless primary field of conformal weight (n+1,n+1), and it disfavours the alternative prediction d_H = 2/|\gamma|. On the other hand <l^n> ~ r^{2n}… Vis mere

We study a c=-2 conformal field theory coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity by means of dynamical triangulations. We define the geodesic distance r on the triangulated surface with N triangles, and show that dim[r^{d_H}]= dim[N], where the fractal dimension d_H = 3.58 +/- 0.04. This result lends support to the conjecture d_H = -2\alpha_1/\alpha_{-1}, where \alpha_{-n} is the gravitational dressing exponent of a spin-less primary field of conformal weight (n+1,n+1), and it disfavors the… Vis mere

On the other hand, we find dim[l] = dim[r^2] with good accuracy, where l is the length of one of the boundaries of a circle with (geodesic) radius r, i.e. the length l has an anomalous dimension relative to the area of the surface. It is further shown that the spectral dimension d_s = 1.980 +/- 0.014 for the ensemble of (triangulated) manifolds used. The results are derived using finite size scaling and a very efficient recursive sampling technique known previously to work well for c=-2. Vis mindre
