  2. 1. Watt’s next? On socio-technical transitions towards future electricity system architectures

    Author : Kristina Hojcková; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; electricity system; transition pathways; innovation system context; technological innovation system; future configurations; entrepreneurial activities; socio-technical transition;

    Abstract : In the effort to fight climate change, the electricity systems around the world are undergoing a transformation towards being based on renewable sources of energy.  The criterion of one hundred per cent renewables can, however, be satisfied in several radically different ways, varying from global or continental super grids via local smart-grids to self-sufficient off-grid communities and households of electricity prosumers.

  4. 2. Increasing Innovation Capability of Product-Service Systems through Collaborative Networks

    Author : Johanna Wallin; Magnus Kuschel; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Value; Functional Product Development; Innovation network; Collaboration; Innovation Capability; Measuring innovation; Product-Service System; Funktionella produkter;

    Abstract : Many manufacturing industries are undergoing a transition from manufacturing of products towards integrating more services into the traditional product concepts andprovide product-service systems (PSS). Development of PSS changes the focus from the product to the functionality of the product; hence it can be referred to as functionalproduct development. READ MORE

  5. 3. Enabling socio-technical transitions – electric vehicles and high voltage electricity grids as focal points of low emission futures

    Author : Martin Albrecht; Åsa Svenfelt; Göran Finnveden; Jonas Åkerman; Anna Kramers; Måns Nilsson; Anna Bergek; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Socio-technical system; innovation system; transition; MLP; TIS; low emission future; electric vehicles; high voltage transmission grid; Sweden; Norway; Denmark; Finland; United Kingdom; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Abstract : Today humankind is facing numerous sustainability challenges that require us to question CO2 intensive practices like those present in the transport and energy sector. To meet those challenges, many countries have adopted ambitious climate targets. Achieving such targets requires an understanding of the wider socio-technical context of transitions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Innovation Engineering in Practice : Bridging Exploration and Exploitation in Large Manufacturing Incumbents

    Author : Jenny Elfsberg; Andreas Larsson; Christian Johansson Askling; Tobias Larsson; Martin Steinert; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation engineering; Innovation team; Exploration journey; Social connectedness; Organizational ambidexterity; Intentional PSS design; Futureproofing large manufacturing incumbents; Buffer role; Maskinteknik; Mechanical Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis discusses how large manufacturing incumbent companies potentially can ensure their longevity and future-proof themselves by infusing ambidexterity throughout their organizations. Ambidextrous companies are equipped to achieve success in both current and future business environments, providing valued solutions to customers today and in the future. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pursuing a Circular Economy in the Danish Waste Sector : Scale and Transition Dynamics in Transformative Innovation Policy

    Author : Stine Madsen; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transformative innovation policy; Scale; Transition dynamics; Waste management; Multi-scalar governance; Sustainability transition; circular economy;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to advance the conceptual understanding of transformative innovation policy through empirical research focusing on the transition towards a circular economy in the Danish waste sector. Under this broad aim, the thesis is more specifically concerned with exploring issues relating to the geography of transformative innovation policy as well as transition dynamics and agency in socio-technical system change.
