  2. 21. Cluster Dynamics and Industrial Policy in Peripheral Regions : a study of cluster formation as a local development process

    Author : Cali Nuur; Staffan Laestadius; David Jacobson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Peripheral regions; Industrial policy; regional development policy; cluster dynamics; call centress; Sweden; Hälsingland; Landsortsregioner; Industriell politik; Regional utvecklingspolitik; Klusterdynamik; Call centers; Sverige; Hälsingland; Industrial organisation; administration and economics; Industriell organisation; administration och ekonomi;

    Abstract : The rapid growth of the global economy in the last two decades has created a new economic reality in many municipalities in peripheral regions of Sweden. Having earlier relied on traditional industry as the source of employment, today municipalities in peripheral regions are struggling to survive in a completely changed economic landscape, with new conditions for development.

  4. 22. On System Dynamics as an Approach for Manufacturing Systems Development

    Author : Gary Linnéusson; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; manufacturing systems development; operational; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Teknik; Technology;

    Abstract : Improvement work in manufacturing industry usually focuses on the utilisation of equipment. System dynamics simulation is a potential tool for increasing the utilisation of systems. By using group model building and simulation it facilitates a common view and better informed decisions for change. READ MORE

  5. 23. Technological Discontinuities and Industrial Dynamics

    Author : Ellinor Ehrnberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; diffusion; radical innovation; bibliometrics; technological forecasting; patents; technological system; machine tools; technological discontinuity;

    Abstract : A technological discontinuity is a substantial change in the set of technological competences required to design and produce a product, often resulting in a significant change in the price/performance ratio of a product. Established firms often face severe difficulties in adjusting to a discontinuity. READ MORE
