  2. 1. Success as Science but Burden for Business? : On the difficult relationship between scientific advancement and innovation

    Author : Malena Ingemansson; Alexandra Waluszewski; Nina Wormbs; Luis Araujo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; scientific research; commercialisation; innovation; use; biotechnology; economic logic; resource interaction; Business studies; Företagsekonomi; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Abstract : Today, a general policy and investment recipe for economic growth and innovation, on both a national and an international level, is to base commercial ventures on novel scientific solutions. From this perspective, scientific research is seen as an untapped source of innovation, and the ambition is to make new scientific knowledge more easily transferable to business settings, where it is supposed to generate direct economic benefits.

  4. 2. Balancing Control and Breakthrough in Public Management

    Author : Klas Palm; Håkan Wiklund; Johan Lilja; Sverker Alänge; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; innovation; ambidexterity; quality management; public administration.;

    Abstract : Previous research shows that a good balance between focus on development of existing processes with development of new and innovative products, processes or services has a positive effect on organizational excellence. However, the relationship between these two quality perspectives is not easy to maintain and it is a challenge for every organization to find an appropriate balance between them. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microfluidic Hydrodynamic of Gas-Liquid flow in Single Microchannel and Porous Media with Microchannel Network

    Author : Shuo Yang; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mass transfer; slug flow; porous media; interficial instability; fingering displacement;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a microfluidics platform with high-speed imaging system was built to investigate gas-liquid flow in single microchannel and interfacial instability in porous media with microchannel network:The mass transfer of slug flow in the rectangular and square microchannels was experimentally studied by using water as liquid phase and CO2 as gas phase. Depending on flow rates, flow patterns including slug flow, bubbly flow, and annular flow were observed in rectangular and square microchannels. READ MORE
