    The use and abuse of 3D-printing from a business model perspective2016Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The paper analyses changes in user activities and behaviour across different types of actors following the introduction of 3D printers. 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has been claimed to disrupt manufacturing, allowing firms to move from prototyping to full-scale end-part production and replacement part production in a one-step process. 3D printing has many different uses, for example, the manufacturing of toys, shoes, lamps and fashion accessories, and by implication many different types of users and buyers. There are few empirical studies on the types of uses and users of 3D, hampering our understanding in what ways the 3D printers may change the behaviour of users, and whether 3D printers affect the likelihood and the nature of entrepreneurship or business model innovation. To investigate this, a model was created based on the 3DP literature. The model is applied on a distributor customer database and four interview-based illustrative case studies. The empirical findings show that the use of 3DP a) lowers the knowledge and resource barriers for experimentation and entrepreneurial entry, b) increases product and concept prototyping in product development, c) provides a potential for business model innovation by expanding the boundaries of the firm upstream and downstream, and d) becomes a ticket for entrepreneurial entry. Based on our results, the paper suggests that the potential of 3D printers alter user innovative activities is high but most of the potential is latent.

    Explaining business model innovation processes: A problem formulation and problem solving perspective2022In: Industrial Marketing Management, ISSN 0019-8501, E-ISSN 1873-2062, Vol. 105, p. 223-239Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study explains the business model innovation processes in industrial firms. Drawing on three case studies of leading business-to-business firms shifting from product-based to service-based business models, it introduces problems as a theoretical concept to explain business model innovation processes. We show how formulating and solving problems guide the search for a viable business model and why some problem formulation and solving activities lead firms to shift between backward-looking and forward-looking searches. The decision to shift to a forward-looking search is triggered by the perception of failure to continue with an established way of working, while the shift to a backward-looking search is based on the perception of high alternative costs. We contribute to the business model innovation and servitization literature by theorizing the process of business model innovation and providing implications for managers. © 2022 The Authors

    Exploiting the control revolution by means of digitalization: Value creation, value capture, and downstream movements2019In: Industrial and Corporate Change, ISSN 0960-6491, E-ISSN 1464-3650, Vol. 28, no 3, p. 423-436, article id dty022Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article explains why firms move downstream to profit from the value they create for customers through improved control. Under certain circumstances, product innovations and services are dynamically interdependent in the sense of improved control creating value for the customer. Since value capture is distinct from value creation, firms may need to change their means of appropriation to profit. Empirically, the article analyses how firms can renew their product offerings by incorporating control technologies into their traditional mechanical engineering products. In contrast to a strand in the recent strategy literature that argues that manufacturing firms should move downstream to deliver complementary services, this article explains these shifts as related to increased control, economies of throughput, value creation, and value capture. The article contributes to the throughput and control technology literature by showing the importance of differentiating value creation from value capture. The increased control by means of digitalization and the discrepancy between value creation and value capture explains why many manufacturing firms will become service firms.

    Innovation audits by means of formulating problems2016In: R &D Management, ISSN 0033-6807, E-ISSN 1467-9310, Vol. 46, no 5, p. 842-856Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Prior innovation audits consist of scorecards that firms use to assess their innovation processes and capabilities. The multifaceted nature of innovation means that this approach does not contextualize the audit for the audited firms. This paper proposes an innovation audit method that identifies and formulates valuable innovation-related problems. It comprises four sequentially dependent modules which follow a structured process that allows the firm’s innovation processes and capabilities to be audited. The audit was developed based on performing innovation audits with five multinational companies in the manufacturing and hygiene sectors, and nine pulp and paper companies. The paper discusses the pros and cons of different innovation audits. We suggest that the innovation audit process may be a means for changing a firm’s strategic innovation orientation, and contribute to the development of innovation capabilities. © 2015 RADMA and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

    How do innovation systems interact?: Schumpeterian innovation in seven Australian sectors2012In: Prometheus, ISSN 0810-9028, E-ISSN 1470-1030, Vol. 30, no 3, p. 261-289Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper analyses how and why different types of innovation systems interact through analysing seven Australian sectors. We find that there are sets of mechanisms or systems that ‘articulate’; i.e. structure and shape the interaction among sectoral innovation systems and other types of innovation systems. Drawing on the Schumpeterian and evolutionary legacy, we contribute a theoretical explanation of how interaction among innovation systems influences innovation. First, this interaction enables and enhances variety creation by expanding the new combinations of knowledge and resources a firm can achieve. Second, it allows for more efficient and effective scaling up of useful knowledge recombination to achieve increasing returns. Empirically, this is supported in that the more successful sectors have active articulation systems with alignment with other systems, while weaker sectors have unplanned and patchy linkages. No simple model seems to explain successful articulation. However, important factors are active receptor firms with the motivation and capabilities to absorb and use resources from external systems, high quality and responsive education systems, and international linkages. Public research, labour markets, and intermediaries varied in importance. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    Actions and opinions of Brazilian farmers who shift to sugarcane: an interview-based assessment with discussion of implications for land-use change2016In: Land use policy, ISSN 0264-8377, E-ISSN 1873-5754, Vol. 57, p. 594-604Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Sugarcane ethanol systems can deliver large greenhouse gas emissions savings if emissions associated with land-use change are kept low. This qualitative study documents and analyzes actions and opinions among Brazilian farmers who shift to sugarcane production. Semi-structured interviews were held with 28 actors associated with sugarcane production in three different regions: one traditional sugarcane region and two regions where sugarcane is currently expanding. Most farmers considered sugarcane a land diversification option with relatively low economic risk, although higher risk than their previous land use. Beef production was considered a low-risk option, but less profitable than sugarcane. In conjunction with converting part of their land to sugarcane, most farmers maintained and further intensified their previous agricultural activity, often beef production. Several farmers invested in expanded production in other regions with relatively low land prices. Very few farmers in the expansion regions shifted all their land from the former, less profitable, use to sugarcane. Very few farmers in this study had deforested any land in connection with changes made when shifting to sugarcane. The respondents understand “environmental friendliness” as compliance with the relevant legislation, especially the Brazilian Forest Act, which is also a requirement for delivering sugarcane to the mills. Indirect land-use change is not a concern for the interviewed farmers, and conversion of forests and other native vegetation into sugarcane plantations is uncontroversial if legal. We derive hypotheses regarding farmers’ actions and opinions from our results. These hypotheses aim to contribute to better understanding of what takes place in conjunction with expansion of sugarcane and can, when tested further, be of use in developing, e.g., policies for iLUC-free biofuel production.

    Organizing business model innovation in established firms2016Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Research focusing on business model innovation tends to either be case-based, studying the transformation of a firm’s business model, or normative in terms of how to implement new business models. Prior research has tended to neglect the various choices and decisions of the organization for business model innovation and the mechanisms that lead to good or poor business model implementation performance. This paper identifies mechanisms that influence the performance of the business model innovation process. Empirically, the paper draws on two case studies of two multinational firms, Skanska and IKEA, and how they organized their business model innovation processes. The paper identifies four mechanisms, including search, leadership, commitment, and external collaboration, derived from within-case and cross-case analysis. The paper contributes to the growing field of business model innovation by showing important mechanisms that influence the potential and performance of the implemented business model innovations.

    Additive manufacturing technologies and business models – a systematic literature review2021In: Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, ISSN 1741-038X, E-ISSN 1758-7786, Vol. 32, no 1, p. 136-155Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose: This paper reviews research on the intersection between additive manufacturing technologies (AMTs) and business models (BM). The purpose of the review is to synthesize past research for the benefit of researchers, to describe the dominant research themes and aggregated research questions and to identify research gaps in the literature. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review of secondary data was conducted. The 288 publications in the review appeared in peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings papers and book chapters. All publications are listed in this paper by publication year and publication source. The review also distinguishes between empirical and non-empirical studies, describes methodological approaches and categorizes the publications by unit of analysis and by theme. Findings: Research on the intersection between AMT and BM, which has increased significantly in the last three years, reflects firms' and industries' growing interest in digital manufacturing processes. This review identifies twelve dominant themes in the literature that contribute important insights to the field. Aggregated research questions are identified in each theme. Research advances and gaps are presented. Four themes relate directly to BM: (1) BM types, (2) BM and technology, (3) BM design and processes and (4) BM value and supply chains. Originality/value: This review is the first systematic literature review on the intersection between AMT and BM. As such, the review provides a guide for researchers as they explore gaps in the research and develop research questions on an aggregated level. The review also supports users of such technologies as they review their business practices and models in the so-called Digital Revolution. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

    Ideation and Machine Learning: Problem Finding in Disruptive Innovation2024Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Disruptive innovation is widely recognised as a bold enterprise. Risks and uncertainties drive incumbent firms to seek alternative solutions to find disruptive ideas. Machine learning emerges as a powerful tool to reduce uncertainties while processing vast amounts and types of information. However, incumbents encounter immense difficulty in codifying tacit knowledge into effective algorithms and often end up with incremental or tactical outcomes despite bold aspirations. Using the literature on problem finding, we explore the development process of machine learning for ideation. Our action research conducted on a healthcare firm provides theoretical and managerial contributions. First, this study suggests that ideation for disruptive innovation benefits from machine learning by facilitating a heuristic search in which a group of actors evaluate plausible hypotheses rather than seek logically accurate conclusions. Previous studies on ideation stress directional search. Second, we propose an ideation process centred on problem formulation to identify disruptive innovation based on its inherent characteristics (e.g., radical functionality and discontinuous technical standard). Third, we discuss the challenges of adopting algorithm-based systems in the ideation — a process well known for being fuzzy.

    Challenges of Data-driven Service Development in Manufacturing Industries – a Review2022In: Sustainable Business Model Challenges : Economic Recovery and Digital Transformation: 7th International Conference on New Business Models / [ed] Laura Michelini; Anna Minà; ‪Pierfrancesco Alaimo Di Loro, Roma: LUMSA University , 2022, p. 419-428Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This literature review aims to identify the existing challenges of data-driven service development in manufacturing industries, and a general approach to manage the challenges. The three primary categories are technological, ecosystem- and business model-related. Those are identified and categorized through the lens of data-driven service taxonomy framework. Digital twin was identified as one overarching approach with the potential to solve some of the identified challenges. Future research can focus on exploring the different level of importance of the existing challenges.

    Incumbents’ responses to disruptive business model innovation: The moderating role of technology vs. market driven innovation2014In: International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, ISSN 1368-275X, E-ISSN 1741-5098, Vol. 18, no 4, p. 289-309Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Current research argues that incumbents should respond to disruptive innovation by setting up a separate business unit. This recommendation stems from research predominantly carried out on disruptive technologies in high-tech industries but whether incumbents respond differently to other types of disruptive business model innovations and whether the type of response leads to a difference in performance have not been empirically analysed. By collecting data from 88 strategic business units (SBUs) and dividing the sample into incumbents responding to disruptive technology against those responding to disruptive market-driven innovations, the study shows that the latter type of firms can succeed in managing both disruptive and sustaining innovations without setting up structurally separated business units. We discuss the implications of our results and highlight areas for further research. © 2014 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

    Restless capitalism and the economizing entrepreneur2013In: Economics of Innovation and New Technology, ISSN 1043-8599, E-ISSN 1476-8364, Vol. 22, no 7, p. 684-701Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper explains why capitalistic economies are restless by focusing on the role and the activities by entrepreneurs. The linkage between the entrepreneur and the economy is that as knowledge is a scarce resource, entrepreneurs must economize knowledge to reduce uncertainty if they are to undertake entrepreneurial action. Fortunately, ways of lowering uncertainty are important sources of opportunities for entrepreneurs. However, the exploitation of such sources may in turn increase uncertainty in the economy. Thus, entrepreneurial action reduces and regenerates uncertainty and complexity over time across different dimensions in the economic system. The paper argues that these processes are core mechanisms of economic development, creating interdependencies between the entrepreneur and the economic system. © 2013 Taylor & Francis.

    Entrepreneurs Searching for Scalable Business Models: The Barriers of the Customer Development Process2015In: Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research Exchange Conference 2015, 3-6 February 2015 Adelaide, South Australia: Conference Proceedings / [ed] Per Davidsson, Queensland, Australia: Exon Publications , 2015, p. 396-411Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper identifies and analyzes barriers startups encounter when following the Lean Startup approach, i.e. the Customer Development process during the initial phase of identifying and validating a business model. In an action research setting, we mentored and interviewed eleven startups enrolled in a business development program called “Born Global” running 7-10 months. For the barrier prior experience, entrepreneurs who had previously encountered failure, had a long period of unsuccessful work, or had heard about Customer Development previously were more likely to follow the process. A main finding was that the entrepreneurs were busy and lacked time and/or money. Deeper reasons included team conflicts, lock-in to an earlier business model by means of a business plan and boards intent of following the old business plan. The lock-in to the old business model can be explained that several startups had gotten a first round of funding based on a flawed business plan.

    Integrating contractor and property developer for product system innovations2017In: Facilities, ISSN 0263-2772, E-ISSN 1758-7131, Vol. 35, no 9/10, p. 511-524Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose - The aim of this paper is to explain why construction groups facing opportunities for product system innovations, such as green buildings, may choose to integrate construction and property development, taking on facilities management (FM) for a limited period.

    Design/methodology/approach - Conceptual analysis based on prior literature and illustrated by a single case of integration.

    Findings - For product system innovations, an in-house developer should be more able to reduce uncertainty than independent developers, due to unobservable long-term technological quality for customers, because the property becomes associated with lower risk after having been owned and operated. Alternatives such as building certification systems support incremental innovations, warranties suffer from double moral hazard in the long run and risk allocation in public- private partnership projects often fails to encourage system innovations. Integration allows the contractor to work continuously with innovative projects, developing new capabilities, which allow the firm to signal proficiency to the market, employees and the investment community.

    Research limitations/implications - The phenomenon is new, and further empirical surveys are needed to confirm the hypothetical conclusions drawn here.

    Practical implications - The value of close collaboration between those who develop innovative green building technologies and facilities managers is outlined.

    Originality/value - The relation between the scope of corporate activities in construction groups, technological innovations and FM has not been studied before.

    Types and Nature of Business Model Innovation Processes2017In: Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship (ACE) Research Exchange Conference 2017, 2017, p. 19-19Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The paper explores the population of business model innovation processes of incumbent rms Thus, the paper identi es and describes different types of business model innovation processes and set out to characterize their relations We suggest that there are (at least) seven types of business model innovation processes: i) No process, (ii) “lazy approach”, (iii) tools approach, (iv) (unintentional) trial and error or “business model innovation happens”, (v) (intentional) experimental approach, (vi) trigger-oriented approach, and (vii) planned (sequential) approach By depicting business model innovation processes as involving (a) cognitive operations, (b) eld activities, and (c) creation of artefacts, the seven identi ed types of business model innovation processes are characterized and related Type (i) and (ii) have rarely been dealt with in the literature, despite their commonality Type (iii) has recently become much used, sometimes being a managerial toy, sometimes as a crucial mechanisms or stage gate for business creation and is often a critical part of the other approaches The paper concludes by suggesting a typology of business model innovation processes, based on the identi cation of three dimensions: intentional vs unintentional, ad hoc vs systematic and event- vs process- oriented

    How acquisitions affect innovation and entrepreneurial behaviour: An innovation governance perspective2018Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    There are many studies of how acquisitions of small technology based startups and firms affect innovation growth and performance but less attention on how acquisitions affect the innovative behavior of the acquired firms. This paper explains changes in the innovative behavior of acquired technology-based small firms from an innovation governance perspective. An interview based case study of founder and top managers of three acquisitions by a Swedish medium-sized IT company from an insider-outsider perspective found that innovative efforts shifted from building a company to an incremental product innovation focus, by means of accumulation of continuous hardware and software upgrades. This “acquisitional” termination of innovative and entrepreneurial behavior is explained by a shift in vision from firm creation by founders (owners) to a product-oriented vision driven by product managers. This vision framed the underlying dimension of discovering opportunities, which became oriented towards improved product performance and was executed by formal and informal steering relating to incremental product innovations. Capability creation related to product and marketing to support the product-oriented business units. The paper suggests that the focus on Schumpeterian innovative behavior of acquired entrepreneurial firms from an innovation governance perspective is a useful new way of analyzing technology-based acquisitions.

    The teaching and societal services nexus: Academics' experiences in three disciplines2015In: Teaching in Higher Education, ISSN 1356-2517, E-ISSN 1470-1294, Vol. 20, no 2, p. 208-220Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this paper, we investigate the perception of academics regarding how their experiences from societal interaction (third mission) inform their teaching and vice versa. We report on a phone survey of Swedish academics in three engineering-related disciplines. The findings show that there is a perceived positive and bidirectional relationship between societal interaction and teaching. Industry-related activities were perceived to inform teaching more than other types of societal interaction. While societal interaction is at large more important for the academics in their search for relevant teaching topics and content, teaching was deemed more important for the implementation of societal interaction. We conclude by proposing that academics creatively (re)combine experiences from third mission and education, often mediated by their research activities. © 2014 Taylor & Francis.

    Conclusions2021In: Technological Change and Industrial Transformation / [ed] Vicky Long; Magnus Holmén, Abingdon: Routledge, 2021, 1, p. 232-244Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Chapter 12, “Conclusions”, conceptualizes industrial transformation as consisting of qualitative changes in the structure of inter-firm activities and relations. The authors stress that industrial transformation consists of uncertain endogenous processes of qualitative state changes, limiting the role of increasing returns. However, uncertainty can be managed or reduced by increasing control. By distinguishing the book’s chapters into research, design and development (RD&D), production and distribution, the authors show how digitalization increases control and becomes a powerful driver of industrial transformation. The authors compare the seminal work of Allyn Young (1928) to explain how demand changes, digitalization and industrial transformation coevolve cumulatively.

    Data-Driven Technologies as Enablers for Value Creation in the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections: a Systematic Review2023In: Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research, ISSN 2509-4971, E-ISSN 2509-498X, Vol. 7, p. 1-41Article, review/survey (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite the advances in modern medicine, the use of data-driven technologies (DDTs) to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) remains a major challenge. Scholars recognise that data management is the next frontier in infection prevention, but many aspects related to the benefits and advantages of using DDTs to mitigate SSI risk factors remain unclear and underexplored in the literature. This study explores how DDTs enable value creation in the prevention of SSIs. This study follows a systematic literature review approach and the PRISMA statement to analyse peer-reviewed articles from seven databases. Fifty-nine articles were included in the review and were analysed through a descriptive and a thematic analysis. The findings suggest a growing interest in DDTs in SSI prevention in the last 5 years, and that machine learning and smartphone applications are widely used in SSI prevention. DDTs are mainly applied to prevent SSIs in clean and clean-contaminated surgeries and often used to manage patient-related data in the postoperative stage. DDTs enable the creation of nine categories of value that are classified in four dimensions: cost/sacrifice, functional/instrumental, experiential/hedonic, and symbolic/expressive. This study offers a unique and systematic overview of the value creation aspects enabled by DDT applications in SSI prevention and suggests that additional research is needed in four areas: value co-creation and product-service systems, DDTs in contaminated and dirty surgeries, data legitimation and explainability, and data-driven interventions. © 2023, The Author(s).

    What’s the Problem? How Infection Prevention and Control Teams Find Problems with Health Care-Associated Infections2019Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Health care-associated infections (HAIs) are among the major causes of death of hospitalized patients. The ability to find and solve problems relating to HAIs is heavily contingent on infection prevention and control (IPC) teams’ practices. Previous studies provide detailed insights into how IPC teams find appropriate solutions, but they do not addressed how problems are found. This limitation is a severe drawback as IPC teams may focus their attention on the wrong problems that leads to inefficient or suboptimal solutions.

    Purpose: This study aims to understand how IPC teams find problems with HAIs from a Problem-Finding and Problem-Solving perspective.

    Method: We performed a multiple case study of three hospitals located in Brazil and Sweden. We collected data from 3 exploratory interviews and 13 semi-structured interviews with nurses and physicians enrolled in IPC teams. Supplemented documents were used for data triangulation. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach.

    Findings: Results from this study suggest an approach based on two different sets of activities for finding problems: practices for HAI prevention and for HAI control. Practices for HAI prevention comprises routinely and elective actions whereas practices for HAI control involve ad hoc and emergent actions. The practices are organized into problem-detection, -framing, and -formulation activities.

    Conclusion: We identified and detailed practices that guide IPC teams’ attention to find valuable problems relating to HAIs. By detecting, framing and formulating problems, IPC teams can find appropriate solutions.

    Practice Implications: A range of practices are detailed in our study to guide IPC teams’ attention in how to find relevant problems relating to HAI prevention and control as well as the criteria on how to prioritize latent problems to obtain needed solutions. Our study provides a basis for supporting decision makers on how to identify opportunities for improve IPC policies and practices.

    Facilitation activities for change response: a qualitative study on infection prevention and control professionals during a pandemic in Brazil2021In: Journal of Health Organization & Management, ISSN 1477-7266, E-ISSN 1758-7247, Vol. 35, no 7, p. 886-903Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose: Facilitation activities support implementation of evidence-based interventions within healthcare organizations. Few studies have attempted to understand how facilitation activities are performed to promote the uptake of evidence-based interventions in hospitals from resource-poor countries during crises such as pandemics. This paper aims to explore facilitation activities by infection prevention and control (IPC) professionals in 16 hospitals from 9 states in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Design/methodology/approach: Primary and secondary data were collected between March and December 2020. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 IPC professionals in Brazilian hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Public and internal documents were used for data triangulation. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis technique.

    Findings: Building on the change response theory, this study explores the facilitation activities from the cognitive, behavioral and affective aspects. The facilitation activities are grouped in three overarching dimensions: (1) creating and sustaining legitimacy to continuous and rapid changes, (2) fostering capabilities for continuous changes and (3) accelerating individual commitment. Practical implications: During crises such as pandemics, facilitation activities by IPC professionals need to embrace all the cognitive, behavioral and affective aspects to stimulate positive attitudes of frontline workers toward continuous and urgent changes.

    Originality/value: This study provides unique and timely empirical evidence on the facilitation activities that support the implementation of evidence-based interventions by IPC professionals during crises in hospitals in a resource-poor country.

    Is Innovation Redesigning District Heating? A Systematic Literature Review2021In: Designs, E-ISSN 2411-9660, Vol. 5, no 1, article id 7Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The district heating (DH) industry has been characterized by continuous innovation for several decades, but there is limited knowledge on the characteristics of the sector’s innovation activities, arguably the most important information for understanding how the sector can continue to develop and further support the energy transition of society. We perform a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the types of innovation, the levels of innovation and the relation between different innovations in the DH sector. A total of 899 articles are analyzed and coded into eight groups: fuel, supply, distribution, transfer, DH system, city system, impact and business. Most of the articles (68%) were identified in the groups: “supply”, “DH system,” and “impact”, with a focus on DH from a system or production perspective and its environmental impact. We find that there is limited research on DH firms” challenges, including management perspectives, such as asset management and customer focus. Despite this potential, we find only a limited number of articles related to innovation. Not much scholarly attention has been given to areas of large cost-saving, especially capital cost. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

    Technological Change and Industrial Transformation2021Collection (editor) (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Industrial transformation is a research and teaching field with a focus on the phenomenon and mechanisms of industrial development and renewal. It concerns changes in economic activities caused by innovation, competition and collaboration, and has a rich heritage of evolutionary economics, institutional economics, industrial dynamics, technology history and innovation studies. It borrows concepts and models from the social sciences (sociology, history, political sciences, business/management, economics, behavioural sciences) and also from technology and engineering studies. In this book, the authors present the key theories, frameworks and concepts of industrial transformation and use empirical cases to describe and explain the causes, processes and outcomes of transformation in the context of digitalization and sustainability. They stress that industrial transformation consists both of Darwinian "survival of the fittest" selection, and of intentional pursuits of innovation, and of industrial capabilities creation. The work argues that managing the global trends of transformation is not only about new technology and innovation: existing institutional settings and dynamic interactions between technological change, organizational adaptation and economic activities also have a profound impact on future trajectories. The areas under investigation are of great relevance for strategic management decisions and industrial and technology policies, and understanding the mechanisms underlying transformation and sustainable growth. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Vicky Long and Magnus Holmén; individual chapters, the contributors.

    What do we know about industrial transformation?2021In: Technological Change and Industrial Transformation / [ed] Vicky Long; Magnus Holmén, Abingdon: Routledge, 2021, 1, p. 16-46Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter summarizes what is known about industrial transformation, with a focus on the role of technology and technological change in the transformation process. First, it argues that Industrial transformation is about changes, followed by a brief review on (a) key historical accounts of industrial transformation, for example, from Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall and recently Paul David and Nathan Rosenberg; and (b) three key complementary thematic approaches to industrial transformation: the evolutionary economics perspective, the institutional economics-influenced system perspective and management studies. While the evolutionary economics school acknowledges the cumulative and path-dependent nature of technological change and industrial transformation, the system approach argues that actors, institutions and knowledge are interlinked nodes coevolving along the transformation. Management studies highlight conjunction points (in transformation) between firm-level elements such as resources, capabilities and strategies and meso-level elements such as product/technology life cycles and appropriability. The chapter also briefly reviews literature that is directly relevant to digitalization and sustainable transformation.

    Why this book?2021In: Technological Change and Industrial Transformation / [ed] Vicky Long; Magnus Holmén, Abingdon: Routledge, 2021, 1, p. 1-15Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The chapter provides an overview of the nature of industrial transformation and motivates the book. The authors argue that while industrial transformation as a phenomenon is not new, the main driving forces of the transformation change, and so do the characteristics of the transformation. Two “novel” phenomena and challenges – digitalization and sustainability – have been observed for a long time but how they affect industrial activities has hitherto mostly been discussed in a rather separate manner. This chapter argues that if these urgent and prevailing challenges are ever to be met and reconciled, a coherent understanding of industrial transformation is needed. This chapter presents stylized facts related to digitalization and sustainability and discusses what these facts imply for industrial transformation. The objective of this phenomenon-oriented book is to shed light on the causes, processes and outcomes of industry transformation in the context of dealing with digitalization and sustainability. There is a particular focus on the role of technology and technological change in the transformation process. A roadmap of the book is provided at the end of the chapter.

    Business model changes and green construction processes2012In: Construction Management and Economics, ISSN 0144-6193, E-ISSN 1466-433X, Vol. 30, no 9, p. 761-775Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Green construction or sustainable construction differs from traditional construction in terms of the materials and processes used. To profit from green construction, firms may need to change their business models, including their offers, activities, networks and revenue models. However there is no explicit study on what changes are required or common in construction companies' business models when they are involved in green construction projects. To systematize prior research a literature review identified changes in business model elements. The results showed that (1) most business model elements can change in a non-trivial manner as a consequence of green construction; (2) value configuration, cost structure, partner networks and capability are the elements emphasized in literature and are expected to be the most difficult and important to change; and (3) to be successful, firms may need to simultaneously change the business model elements of capability, value configuration and partner network on the one hand, and value proposition, cost structure and capability on the other hand. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

    Who Becomes an Entrepreneur?: How Changes In Activity Systems Affect Entrepreneurial Action2015Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Entrepreneurs create and appropriate value by designing a system of interconnected and interdependent activities that determine how they do business. These activity systems span beyond the individual firm and compose complex interconnected ecosystems. Current research focuses on how entrepreneurs design new activity systems but do not focus on how these changes create new entrepreneurial opportunities and for whom. In this paper we ask why some people but not others pursue entrepreneurial opportunities following changes in an activity system. Based on Lachmann’s theory of capital we develop a theoretical framework for analyzing how changes in the structure of activities affect the knowledge required to pursue subsequent entrepreneurial opportunities. © 2015 Academy of Management.

    Abstract [en]

    Entrepreneurs create and appropriate value by designing a system of interconnected and interdependent activities that determine how they do business. These activity systems span beyond the individual firm and compose complex interconnected ecosystems. Current research focuses on how entrepreneurs design new activity systems but do not focus on how these changes create new entrepreneurial opportunities and for whom. In this paper we ask why some people but not others identify and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities following changes in an activity system. Based on Lachmann’s theory of capital we develop a theoretical framework for analyzing how changes in the structure of activities in terms of knowledge substitution affect the knowledge required to identify and exploit opportunities by focusing on the role of complementarities and multiple specificities of capital resources. The results have implications for our understanding of the endogenous nature of entrepreneurship and the coevolution of business model innovation and innovation ecosystems.

    Evolution of systems of technology transfer in rural developing economiesManuscript (preprint) (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Longitudinal studies show that technology transfer changes over time but do not systematically address how this occurs. This paper addresses the evolution of technology transfer by analyzing changes in the focal actors, their perceived problems, problem-solving activities and implemented technological and organizational solutions. Empirically, we analyze the evolution of fish and silk production in Cauca, Colombia, a rural region characterized by a low level of education. While production was initiated by national and international governments, these policy programs failed by themselves to establish technology transfer activities successfully because of governmental short sightedness, lack of producer commitment and transferor-producer arm’s length relations. Over time, interaction among producers and producer cooperatives (recipients), universities (transferors) and intermediaries created a “technology transfer system”. The creation and professionalization of the cooperatives and intermediaries were key events allowing for creating a functioning technology transfer system. The evolution of the system was largely determined by the types of problems the main actors formulated and acted upon. Major problem diversified from being technology-related, to customer, market and distribution oriented. A main organizing principle of both solving and formulating these problems consisted of projects, which means the evolution can be characterized by sequences of projects addressing specific and changing problems over time. The cases are in in line with evolutionary theorizing and the paper concludes with general lessons for technology transfer from an evolutionary perspective.

    Promoting Life-Long Learning Through Flexible Educational Format for Professionals Within AI, Design and Innovation Management2023In: Design, Learning, and Innovation: 7th EAI International Conference, DLI 2022, Faro, Portugal, November 21–22, 2022, Proceedings / [ed] Eva Brooks; Jeanette Sjöberg; Anders Kalsgaard Møller; Emma Edstrand, Cham: Springer, 2023, p. 38-47Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In recent years, the concept of lifelong learning has been emphasized in relation to higher education, with a bearing idea of the possibility for the individual for a continuous, self-motivated pursuit of gaining knowledge for both personal and professional reasons, provided by higher education institutions (HEI:s). But how can this actually be done in practice? In this paper we present an ongoing project called MAISTR, which is a collaboration between Swedish HEI:s and industry with the aim of providing a number of flexible courses within the subjects of Artificial intelligence (AI), Design, and Innovation management, for professionals. Our aim is to describe how the project is setup to create new learning opportunities, including the development process and co-creation with industry, the core structure and the pedagogical design. Furthermore, we would like to discuss both challenges and opportunities that come with this kind of project, as well as reflecting on early stage outcomes. © 2023, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.

    Healthcare ecosystems and business models reconfiguration: Decoupling and resilience in the context of data-driven technologies: A Systematic Literature Review2023In: Reconfiguration of Business Models and Ecosystems: Decoupling and Resilience / [ed] Svetla T. Marinova; Marin A. Marinov, New York: Routledge, 2023, 1, p. 204-235Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter researches the reconfiguration of business models and ecosystems in relation to decoupling and resilience in the context of data-driven technologies via conducting a systematic literature review (SLR). New data-driven technologies have been largely introduced to different sectors. Digitalisation may lead to disruptive changes in any industry, including creating or entering new business models, lowering or changing entry barriers into markets and enabling the breakup of sectorial silos. Although the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated significantly the digitalisation of the healthcare sector, innovation adoption in the sector proceeds slower than in most other industries. This chapter reviews systematically the existing literature on this area and develops a research agenda aiming at answering the pre-set research question: To address the research question, an SLR methodology has been applied to provide insights, critical reflections, managerial implications and research road maps for future research. The chapter identifies the potential benefits of the use of data-driven technology in healthcare at organisational, institutional, ethical and macro-level dimensions. It discusses the adoption of digitalisation and healthcare management practices to enhance data-driven outcomes. Based on the conducted literature review and the bibliometric analysis of articles included in the chapter, an integrative conceptual framework for digital healthcare is suggested. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Svetla T.
