2. 21. Adoption of the Innovation System Concept in Sweden

   Author : Magnus Eklund; Lars Magnusson; Mats Larsson; Dan Bäcklund; Mats Benner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; conceptual history; Quentin Skinner; innovation system concept; innovation thinking; VINNOVA; OECD; Sweden; research policy; research funding reform; Research 2000; sectoral research; university autonomy; industrial policy; industrial crisis; Economic history; Ekonomisk historia;

   Abstract : In 2001 Sweden founded the government agency of VINNOVA, named after the OECD-endorsed innovation system concept. Criticising the common assumption that countries are passive and uncritical recipients of the approaches promoted by the OECD, this dissertation tries to show that Swedish actors were in fact very active and strategic as they contributed to the national adoption of the concept.

4. 22. Developing Methods for Modelling Procedures in System Analysis and System Dynamics

   Author : Hördur Haraldsson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System Dynamics; System Analysis; group model building; modelling procedures; innovation phases; modelling workflow; Natural science; Naturvetenskap; Technological sciences; Teknik;

   Abstract : System Thinking is the mindset of defining and confining a problem and its symptoms as well as a method for communicating system understanding. System Analysis is taking that problem apart to understand its causalities and structural arrangement. READ MORE

5. 23. Supporting the Design of Reconfigurable Production Systems

   Author : Carin Rösiö; Mats Jackson; Kristina Säfsten; Erik Sundin; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; production system; manufacturing system; design process; industrialization; reconfigurability; reconfigurable manufacturing system; RMS; mobility; case study; manufacturing industry; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : To compete, manufacturing companies need production systems that quickly can respond to changes. To handle change drivers such as volume variations or new product variants, reconfigurability is advocated as a competitive means. READ MORE

6. 24. Characteristics of Production Innovation

   Author : Lisa Larsson; Anna Öhrwall Rönnbäck; Johan Stahre; Anna Karlsson; Cecilia Warrol; Nina Edh Mirzaei; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Produktinnovation; Product Innovation;

   Abstract : Today firms must maintain high levels of efficiency, quality control, customer responsiveness and speed, but even the full set of these attributes is not sufficient for sustainable competitive advantage. A further challenging requirement is to innovate successfully, not only in product development but also in production. READ MORE

7. 25. 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.
