MMTC Lunch-time Seminar with Guest Speaker Anna-Karin Zinnefors

We are pleased to welcome Anna-Karin Zinnefors to MMTC for a lunch-time seminar, where she will share insights from her extensive experience within Municipal Corporations.

Municipal corporations are hybrid organizations – not quite public, not quite private – which makes them a fascinating subject of study from multiple perspectives including marketing, accounting, management, and entrepreneurship. They provide essential public values such as water, energy, and housing, while at the same time operating as limited joint stock companies with high levels of transparency and accessible data.

For researchers, municipal corporations offer unique opportunities: decision-makers are often more open to collaboration than in private firms, research access is easier, and the societal and policy relevance is high. Despite this, there is still limited research on them in Sweden, creating excellent potential for impactful projects and publications. Moreover, funders such as the KK Foundation have shown strong interest in this area due to its societal significance.

Date & Time: Tuesday, 17th September, 12:00 - 13:00

Location: B7030

Welcome to participate at the notification of thesis of Annika Grynne's thesis titled Caring in a digital age - Supporting women undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer with a digital information tool addressing health literacy, distress and self-efficacy

MMTC seminar with Chetna Chauhan (Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia) and Sher Jahan Khan (FORE School of Management, India).  

Chetna is presenting the research titled as "Investigating the algorithmic transparency within organizations through upper echelons perspective".

Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, this study examines how top management team (TMT) characteristics shape firms’ adoption of algorithmic transparency and service ethics in competitive contexts. Using a Bayesian hierarchical modeling approach, we analyze survey data collected through validated instruments, complemented by firm-level variables such as CEO founder status, CEO IT background, CEO gender, and Chief Information Officer in Top Management Team. The Bayesian framework allows us to capture the inherent noise in Likert-based responses and incorporate prior information for more robust estimates. The findings highlight the role of executive attributes in driving ethical and transparent algorithmic practices and provide theoretical and managerial insights into how leadership profiles influence firms’ technological and ethical orientations.

The seminar will run in a hybrid format
