  2. 1. Innovation in Complex Products and Systems (CoPS) : The Coordination of Technology Development within Networks and Projects

    Author : José Adalberto Franca; Nicolette Lakemond; Gunnar Holmberg; Per-Olof Brehmer; David W. Versailles; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Complex Product and Systems; CoPS; Networks; Projects; Technology; Technology Readiness Levels; TRL;

    Abstract : Complex Product and Systems (CoPS) has been considered a cornerstone of a national innovation strategy. Telecommunications network systems, aircrafts, gas turbines and weapon systems are example of CoPS, and their management are characterized distinctly different from mass-market commodity goods.

  4. 2. Exploring affordability in concept generation for complex defence products

    Author : Daniel Amann; Mats Magnusson; Ingrid Kihlander; Poul Kyvsgaard Hansen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affordability; complex product systems; concept generation; CoPS; defence; front end of innovation; innovation management; product development; tournament goods; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : National defence budgets face pressure from intergenerational escalating costs for complex defence products, such as fighter aircraft and submarines. These escalating costs originate from ever-increasing performance requirements due to the competitive nature of warfare. In combat, only winning is good enough. READ MORE

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is the evolution and dynamics of the plasma environment of a moderately active comet before, during and after its closest approach to the Sun. For over 2 years in 2014-2016, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft followed the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at distances typically between a few tens and a few hundred kilometers from the nucleus, the longest and closest inspection of a comet ever made.

  6. 4. Energy efficiency in Swedish SMEs : Exploring barriers, knowledge creation and the role of municipal energy efficiency programs

    Author : Fredrik Backman; Jenny Palm; Patrik Thollander; Max Åhman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Policy programs; energy efficiency networks; Community of Practice COPs ; barriers; knowledge creation; Policyprogram; energieffektiviseringsnätverk; Community of Practice COP ; barriärer; skapande av kunskap;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to analyze how municipalities support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their work to improve their energy efficiency. The purpose of this study is to increase the current understanding of how the methods and tools used by municipalities to assist SMEs in improving their energy efficiency influence the end results in terms of achieved energy efficiency, and how knowledge related to energy efficiency is created within SMEs.
