STATUS FOR PERIODEN PRIMO APRIL 2017 TIL ULTIMO JUNI 2017

SAMMENFATTENDE FOR PERIODEN

Ph.d.-projekterne forløber overordnet set planmæssigt. Dog har Jonatan Echebarria Fernandez’ afsluttende interne projektseminarer (pre-defence) vist, at en forlængelse er nødvendig for på tilfredsstillende vis at færdiggøre hans projekt om ”Limits on party autonomy in relation to cargo claims and the arrest of ships”. Hans projektperioden forlænges med 6 måneder med det formål at tilpasse forskningsspørgsmål og gennemgående redigere tekst samt videreudvikle artiklerne til publicering i relevante internationale videnskabelige tidsskrifter.

Maitane Elorriaga Rubio og Viktor Avlonitis har også afholdt deres afsluttende projektseminar og er nu i gang med at slutredigere deres afhandlinger. Maitane forventes at indlevere sin afhandling med udgangen af august måned til endelig bedømmelse. Viktor forventes ligeledes at have et udkast til sin afhandling klar ultimo august. Viktor har imidlertid fået anerkendelse for, at hans artikler har særligt potentiale til at blive publiceret i velestimerede internationale tidsskrifter og profilere ham internationalt. CBS’ forskningsdekan har derfor tilkendt ham en pris, som består af 12 måneders forlængelse af hans ansættelse som ph.d.-studerende således, at han med afsæt i ph.d.-udkastet kan udfolde sine muligheder yderligere. De øvrige ph.d.-studerende er ligeledes på det planlagte spor, som anført i den sidste afrapportering til fonden.

Konferencedeltagelse med fremlæggelse af forskningsresultater er en særdeles vigtig del af den enkelte ph.d.-studerendes forløb. I perioden siden sidste afrapportering har flere af de ph.d.-studerende fremlagt deres forskning ved internationale konferencer og her fået vigtig feedback fra kolleger i de internationale forskningsmiljøer. Stefan Kirkegaard Sløk-Madsen og Frederik Regli præsenterede hver en artikel på ”International Association of Maritime Economists” (IAME) årlige konference, som blev afholdt i Kyoto, Japan, den 27.-30. juni, og Maitane Elorriaga Rubio præsenterede på ”Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics” (DRUID) årlige konference, som blev afholdt i New York den 12.-14. juni. Stefan præsenterede også på ”Institutional and Organizational Economics Academy” (IOEA) årlige konference, som blev afholdt på Korsika den 22.-26. maj samt på Prague Behavioral Science Conference i Prag den 1. april. Efterfølgende har både Stefan og Maitane indarbejdet relevant feedback, og Stefan har netop indsendt sin artikel til det førende maritimøkonomiske tidsskrift ”Maritime Policy & Management”.

Dialog med erhvervslivet er et væsentligt succeskriterium for ph.d.-forskermiljøet i CBS Maritime, og det skal fremhæves at hovedparten af de ph.d.-studerende har haft en god dialog med maritime virksomheder og organisationer i Danmark – både løbende individuel kontakt møntet på dataadgang og feedback og mere overordnet dialog via workshops, seminarer og konferencer. For perioden siden sidste afrapportering skal særligt fremhæves Christian Hendriksens deltagelse i den danske delegation på IMO’s MEPC 71-møde i London den 3.-7. juli.

CBS Maritime har indgået et samarbejde med de øvrige danske universiteter (DTU, AAU og SDU) om afholdelse af en større maritim konference på CBS den 7.-8. december i år. Konferencen med arbejdstitlen ”The Maritime Sector in 2030” har til formål at bringe maritime forskere i Danmark, på tværs af forskningsdiscipliner, sammen med praktikere fra Det Blå Danmark med henblik på at identificere sektorens store udfordringer frem mod 2030 og initiere samarbejder om tværgående forskningsprojekter. Som led i

konferencen planlægges en koordineret formidling i form af posters for hver af de igangværende maritime ph.d.-projekter i regi af CBS Maritime samt for udvalgte ph.d.-studerende ved de tre andre universiteter.

Venlig hilsen,

ACCUMULATED OUTPUT TO DATE REGARDING THE PHD PROJECT

Summary of the PhD-project:

Current business environments are increasingly uncertain, ambiguous and subject to constant change. Under

these challenging conditions, a relevant question to be answered is the following:

How do managers and key decision-makers psychologically adapt their strategic decision-making under

highly uncertain circumstances?

The dissertation identifies information-related contextual factors that help to explain the effect of various

psychological aspects that influence decision-making when facing high uncertainty. I focus on strategic

settings as they entail particularly high uncertainty.

The aim of the dissertation is to develop theory regarding context-specific variables that may help

organizations and managerial decision-making practices to direct individuals´ behavior in organizations

towards adaptation and favorable behavior. Overall, my work helps to predict and ultimately increase our

understanding of decision-making behavior in organizations.

The main methodology is experimental, in order to achieve a more rigorous study of both the changeable

psychological and contextual factors when strategic decision-making unfolds. Both lab-based experiments

and simulation-based experiments are employed to gain further understanding on decision-making under

high uncertainty.

One of the studies lays on the context of strategic decision-making in teams and explains the relationship

between collective efficacy perceptions (i.e. the belief that our team has the ability to achieve the desired

performance aspirations) and risk-taking. In the other studies, I study in the lab the effects of moods and

informational aspects on behavioral consequences, such as collaboration and performance.

Project Title: Limits on party autonomy in relation to cargo claims and the arrest

of ships

Ph.D. Fellow: Jonatan Echebarria Fernández

George Theocharidis (World Maritime University)

Reporting Period: Primo April until ultimo June 2017

Submission of bi-annual PhD.

Main Supervisor:

Date: 16/06/2017

Name: Patrik Lindskoug


The contractual relationship enacted between the shipowner and the charterer under a chartering contract

(voyaye charter, trip time charter, time charter, or bareboat charter) faces the lack of national procedural

harmonisation constraining the original charterparties from solving their contractual and extra-

contractual (in tort or in bailment) cargo claim disputes under the selected fora leads to different

questions whether the court of the country where the claim for cargo loss or damages is filed has ratified

or not any of the Arrest Conventions, or it is a European Union (EU) Member State or not. The thesis


10

demonstrates from the original charterparties´ perspective the determent from enforcing such dispute

resolution clauses contained in the charterparty and/or purported into the Bill of Lading (B/L) due to

loss, damage or delay of the cargo, even if they might be entitled to limitation and defences arising out

of the applicable legislation, especially in the event of arrest of ships.



Besides preparing and settling my 2nd WIP seminar, within the last period I´ve been attending the

following three conferences/seminars: “Relational contracts in servitization contracts. Cost and risks”

(CBS Maritime); “Digitization and Automation in the Maritime Supply Chain” (CBS Maritime);

“Pricing of marine products and services in the modular age seminar” (CBS Maritime).


“The contracts for the carriage of goods by sea” thesis title was modified into “Limits on party

autonomy in relation to cargo claims and the arrest of ships.” The thesis title will be probably changed

once the thesis is deposited.

The 2nd Work-In-Progress (WIP) seminar was held on 26 June 2017. The seminar gave constructive and

detailed input. The comments related to among others:

a) Reshape the research questions

b) Modify and delete unnecessary descriptive aspects

c) Elaborate on the coherence of the three research questions together during the analysis.

d) Introduce more new content according to the research questions.

e) Elaborate a shorter introductory chapter stating why is important.

f) Introduce first the research questions and only later the maritime setting.

g) Keep always the red thread from the questions to the answers within a question-analyse-

answer scheme, not answering directly. Explain how I get closer to the ultimate goal in order to provide

the conclusions of the research questions.

h) Change the structure and writing style.


In order to make the necessary changes after the 2nd WIP seminar for the thesis deposit, I agreed the

following with Peter Arnt Nielsen, Head of the Law Department for the period between 1 September

2017 and 28 February 2018:


11

• An extension of my enrolment period at the Doctoral School of Business and Management (BM)

and starting a part-time Research Assistant contract during such period.

• Increasing the involvement of George Theocharidis, my external secondary supervisor if

possible, by upgrading the current agreement in place with the World Maritime University. I

have the current support of my main supervisor, Patrik Lindskoug.

• Working in Spain and meeting the supervisors periodically.


Summary of the Phd-project:

The contractual relationship enacted between the ship-owner and the charterer under a chartering contract

(voyaye charter, trip time charter, time charter, or bareboat charter) faces the lack of national procedural

harmonization constraining the original charter parties from solving their contractual and extra-contractual

(in tort or in bailment) cargo claim disputes under the selected fora leads to different questions whether the

court of the country where the claim for cargo loss or damages is filed has ratified or not any of the Arrest

Conventions, or it is a European Union (EU) Member State or not. The thesis demonstrates from the original

charter parties´ perspective the determent from enforcing such dispute resolution clauses contained in the

charter party and/or purported into the Bill of Lading (B/L) due to loss, damage or delay of the cargo, even if

they might be entitled to limitation and defenses arising out of the applicable legislation, especially in the

event of arrest of ships. When the forum arresti contained in art. 7 of the Arrest of Ships Conventions and

the national procedural rules deprive the charterer and the ship-owner from invoking such clauses? When a

court orders the arrest of the vessel, can the ship-owner or the charterer rely on the selected fora if sued in

tort, in negligence or in bailment by a third party B/L holder (cargo interest)?

I am currently revising the project-plan. How the plan is to be revised is partly dependent on identifying

new relevant research questions and partly on the availability of relevant data sources.

2.Revision of the project plan

3.Revision of article “An AIS based Model of Short-Term VLCC Freight Rates” and journal application



This project models freight rates using vessels’ Automatic Identification System (AIS) information. The project shows how a combination of AIS and fixture information can be used to forecast the spot freight rate in the market for Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC). The idea should be relevant for other bulk segments.

The focus of the project is on the antecedents and outcomes of tie formation in the sector of maritime

intermediaries analyzed empirically in various ways: 1) longitudinal transnational data from a brokerage

company and proximities-based framework (merging relational perspective with economic geography) of the

antecedents of relational assets 2) +3) quasi-experiment of organizational failure (OW Bunker) in the bunker

logistics industry - status loss of employees of the bankrupt company (quantitative analysis supplemented

with qualitative interviews) - employee’s co-mobility in the quasi (experiment set up).

The project is well under way. All course requirements have now been completed.

In relation to articles, my submission of the article “Commercialization in Offshore SME’s” to a special

issue of Small Enterprise Research was rejected. However, the journal’s executive editor has

encouraged me to resubmit the article in revised form for publication in a later (non-special) issue.

We had a very interesting visit, with kind support from Den Maritime Fond, of Walter Block to talk on

Water Capitalism. The issue of ocean governance is very interesting to investigate further and in more

applied terms. I have submitted a draft of a research article in this tradition to Dr. Block for a co-


27

authoring possibility. Also I went on live national radio to talk about ocean privatization.

Currently I am writing up my other articles.

Future job talks are progressing, including initial interest (without my application) from international

universities, like Duke, and industry offers. I hope to have concrete offers to consider in the fall.


coursework, teaching, conferences, published articles etc.) As for the last quarter, the period has been marked with a lot of travelling in relation with the PhD-

project. Thus I have participated in and contributed to the following activities:

• Prague Behavioral Science conference with a presentation of Mærsk paper. Paper praised in

keynote by Prof Bart Wilson.

• Completed IOEA (Institutional and Organizational Economics Academy) 2017. Received good

response on presented research. Also an invitation to coauthor with David Skarbek of Brown

University

• Completed Duke Hope Summer Institute. Job talks initiated.

• Attended IAME (International Association of Maritime Economists) 2017 in Kyoto with good

feedback on paper presentation.

• Completed CBS PhD Marketing course.

• Mærsk project presented at VL (Virksomheds Ledere) Døgn to big applaus. Currently in talks

with Mærsk about extending the research.

• Examinations of various student thesis and projects.

Focus on writing up the dissertation (papers)



This project explores commercialization, such as sales and value capture, and commercial capabilities in

suppliers to maritime offshore installations and operations, mainly wind and oil related, but findings could be


28

valuable for wave and sea-steading too. The project attempts to answer, from an organizational perspective,

what enables organizations to perform superior and repeated commercialization. The project is founded in

dynamic market processes and entrepreneurship-based capability theory. While not directly an innovation

project, the contribution of the project is often viewed via innovation, as the empirical background are highly

(incrementally and radically) innovative firms. The subject matter is mainly analyzed in a context of derived

demand and consumer sovereignty.

This project studies the current reforming port authorities and aims to contribute to the question about

Value in different facts of port business development research. The project has developed to the last

stage of the research at the Micro level where value capture will be studied through the lens of terminals

and the third stage of the research will focus on the value configuration where stakeholders will be

studied as a context. The first paper presented to a conference.


33



Focus on writing and finishing two articles aimed to be send to special issue call of papers in August and

September 2017.


Changes worth mentioning are including a stakeholder perspective along with port interviews.


Submission on the two articles in August and September.



Many scholars in recent years have stated the need to consider entrepreneurial existence in Port specific

research. However not much dialogue is contributed by synthesising the the Port related literature with the

field of entrepreneurship, valuation and hybrid models. This projects aims to start a dialogue with ‘business

like’ ports authorities and studies their outcome to contribute value sought and value capture.

The project has had quite a progress during Q2 2017. The WIP 2 seminar was successfully completed

where valuable feedback covering the project to its entirety was given by two dedicated discussants and

other participating academics. In addition, the final course work of 10 ECTS was completed. Moreover,

a new version of paper 2 was submitted to one of the most prominent conferences in the field of systems

sciences (HICSS 51). Recently, recognizing the high quality of this project among many other PhD

projects at CBS, I have been awarded a prize by the Dean of Research to further fund my project for a


37

fourth year with the purpose of enhancing the final dissertation results and my career prospects at an

international level (see also C below).



- Completed the course “Advances in IT Management” (CBS, 2 ECTS)

- A complete new version of paper 2 was drafted and submitted to HICSS 51

- A new draft proposal for paper 3 was submitted in the context of the PhD course in Brussels (a

newer revised proposal is scheduled for July-August in the context of the course)

- Completion of the PhD course “Conceptual Paper Development and Theory Building in

Management and Organization Studies”, EIASM Brussels, Belgium (4 ECTS)

- Completion of the PhD course “Qualitative Research and Data Analysis” at the University of St.

Gallen, Switzerland (4 ECTS)

- Completed the supervision of two master thesis (cost control at ABB Taiwan and IT Strategic

alignment at NNE)


Given that a new version of paper 2 has been completed and that there is a new draft for paper 3 coupled

with the input from the WIP 2 seminar, the project has a new working title that better reflects the

content. The project is currently at the final stages and as planned, a final draft of the project will be

ready by the end August 2017.

However, CBS has recently recognized the prospects that my PhD dissertation can have to society, the

academic community, and the world of practice by awarding a prize that allows for the research to be

extended for one more year. This prize reflects a recognition that the project holds great potential to

make an impact and provides with the resources to make an extra contribution possible. Based on the

final draft of the dissertation the additional year will mainly focus on enhancing the final dissertation

results and the career prospects of the candidate at an international level.

The digitalization of maritime industries, has taking some time to come about, but the process has finally

started. Taking a multi-stakeholder perspective has made data collection challenging and time

consuming, thus currently the paper is resorting to the use of secondary data and exemplary cases.

However, one extra year, would allow for interviews with key informants and insights from upcoming

projects (e.g. new maritime cloud based networks, blockchain initiatives etc.) to provide with data that

can explain the application of the theories already developed in the context of the project. In turn, this


38

would greatly increase the chances of getting out more publications in highly ranked journals and by

extension increase the visibility of CBS at an international level while providing with more concrete

insights to practitioners. In addition, a good set of data can be instrumental for future publications and

increase the employability of the candidate later on.

Overall, this award recognizes the good performance of the PhD candidate, the quality of the results

until now, the contribution those results have made to CBS, while aiming to increase the marketability of

the candidate at an international level where PhD graduates from top universities receive four, five or

even six years training. Please note that the award will be formally announced from the Dean of

Research, potentially at a public event during the next months, and thus, remains confidential until

further notice.


- Completion of MSc thesis supervision (The influence of customer inputs to service operations

through time and space)

The project advances the theory of modularity in services (paper 1). Following, the application of modularity

in digital services, which has largely remained unexplored, is conceptually addressed (paper 2). Finally, in

the third and last paper, the project aspires to provide with an organizational perspective for the creation of

ecosystems (networks of interdependent actors with common goals) that surround a digital platform (a

modular technological infrastructure). The overall aim of the ecosystems studied here is to provide services

for a collection of capital assets but also public goods. Various cases explored throughout papers 2 and 3

include: Predix (GE) and Mindsphere (Siemens), Eniram and Wärtsilä, Maersk, and the MRV regulations of

EU.

Q2 has seen an emphasis on using the feedback gained in the first WIP seminar to analyze the empirical

material I have collected so far. The work conducted in Q1 helped get an overview of the analytical

framework I’m deploying, so many resources have gone into sifting through empirical material

throughout Q2. While the writing-up of the analysis still has some way to go (contingent, of course, on

empirical material input in the future), I am forming a core analysis and an explanation of firm

influence.

The project has now stabilized even further in terms of theoretical basis. The work spent in the first 8

months are now paying off, because my theoretical repertoire now allows me to more easily see links


44

and explanations in the empirical material. In the first week of July, I will attend MEPC 71 in London

alongside the Danish delegation.
