When the university Marxists in the 1970s wanted to have ‘research for the people’ as an alternative to research for research (art for art’s sake), they could hardly imagine that this claim would, in the future, be changed to ‘research for profit’. This change from ‘research’ to ‘research for profit’ has had severe consequences for the research community, for the universities and, most importantly, for research in general – for the research process and for the criteria for legitimising and evaluating what is, or is not, good research. In this paper I investigate the present conditions for conducting university research through a case study of external partners buying research at the university – ‘The Beef Report’. I do this through investigating different conceptions of science and research – romantic, modern and postmodern – in arguing that today’s university is a post-modern university (Lyotard, 1979), and that this post-modern university poses very significant new problems for both research and researchers.

It is proposed that we need to develop a new educational language game that is responsive to both a) our understanding of the world and b) the world in itself, but also responsive to c) the fact that we now live in an Anthropocene world, and that this d) calls for a shift in both our world understanding and our view on education. Very broadly speaking this can be understood as a demand for a shift in what education should be about. In the Late Holocene humans fostered education as an enterprise that worked with helping new generations with changing themselves for the (presumed) better. Yet the educational aim was tied to the Holocene world view, and also its possibility of being actualized was conditioned by the life conditions of the Holocene world. When we today witness a shift in world view and world conditions, it is argued that it calls for an adjustment of what education should be about and how it should proceed. If we keep on with Holocene education – through families, schools, companies, art etc. – it implies that we try to keep on helping new generations to change themselves to function in a world that no longer exists and tie them to a worldview that is highly problematic, reductive and destructive.

To be able to predict the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the required human competences of the future, it is firstand foremost necessary to get an overview of what AI at all is and how it differs from human intelligence. The main goalof this paper is to provide such an overview to readers who are not experts in the area. The focus of the paper is on thesimilarities and differences between human and machine intelligence, since understanding that is of essential importanceto be able to predict which human tasks and jobs are likely to be automatised by AI - and what consequences it will have.

The aim of this paper is to the advance pragmatic constructivist understanding about communication in the productdevelopment context. In particular, the paper provides new understanding about how proactive truth about designknowledge can be constructed and communicated within product development actors. The paper shows how companyrepresentatives in the manufacturing environment, e.g., managers and engineers can together understand the customervalue-creation mechanisms of a specific product and integrate their expert knowledge into visual form. Building thecollective understanding requires communication between these actors. Ultimately, the actors may be able to construct auseful proactive truth about related business potentials and thereby support technology management in the productdevelopment context.

According to Chaminade and Roberts (2003, p. 733) “(...) a dominant accounting perspective can lead to an excessive focus on measurement issues and little attention to management processes (of implementing Intellectual Capital in organizations)”. By applying a pragmatic constructivist (PC) perspective, this paper intends to shed a different light on the demise of Intellectual Capital (IC) reporting by focusing on the role of the involved actors and how they construct reality. Therefore, it compares the government-driven IC Statement (ICS) in Denmark (Nielsen et al., 2017; Schaper 2016) with the case of voluntary consulting-driven adoption of IC reporting in Italy (Chiucchi and Giuliani, 2017; Giuliani and Chiucchi, 2018). The intent thereby is to derive policyand managerial-relevant insights for the future installment of internal/external reporting frameworks as successfully lasting practices. Indeed, as suggested by Nørreklit et al. (2006), merely providing guidelines is not sufficient to solve the gap between theoretical knowledge and actual doing: it instead requires the integration of the four dimensions of PC to not end up in a realitydoing gap. The latter has arguably been the case of IC seen as a theory and practice respectively.
根据Chaminade和Roberts(2003，第733页)的说法，“(…)主导的会计观点可能导致过度关注度量问题，而很少关注(在组织中实施智力资本的)管理过程”。本文运用实用主义建构主义(PC)的观点，通过关注相关行为者的角色以及他们如何构建现实，试图对智力资本(IC)报告的消亡提供不同的视角。因此，它比较了丹麦政府驱动的IC声明(ICS) (Nielsen et al.， 2017;Schaper 2016)与意大利自愿咨询驱动的IC报告采用案例(Chiucchi和Giuliani, 2017;Giuliani and Chiucchi, 2018)。因此，其目的是为内部/外部报告框架的未来安装获得与政策和管理相关的见解，作为成功的持久实践。事实上，正如Nørreklit等人(2006)所建议的那样，仅仅提供指导方针不足以解决理论知识与实际行动之间的差距:相反，它需要PC的四个维度的整合，以避免最终出现现实行动差距。后者已经被认为是IC案例中的理论和实践分别。
