2. 1. Organisational Adoption of Innovations : Management Practices and IT

   Author : Erik Lundmark; Alf Westelius; Nils-Göran Olve; Pär Mårtensson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Innovation; adoption; Non Profit Organisations; NPO; SME; ISO 9000; information technology; IT; ICT; communication; Technology Acceptance Model; TAM; Sport; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Economic Information Systems; Ekonomiska informationssystem;

   Abstract : This thesis describes effects of use and reasons for using three different organisational innovations: ISO 9000, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and an administrative tool (the YAF-module) in the Swedish Sports Confederation’s system Swedish Sports Online. This is done through three separate studies. READ MORE

4. 2. Striving for meaning - a study of innovation processes

   Author : Åsa Öberg; Yvonne Eriksson; Roberto Verganti; Koenraad Debackere; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; meaning; interpreting; innovation process; hermeneutics; exposing; criticising; mening; tolkande; innovations processer; hermeneutik; blottlägga; kritiskt förhållningssätt; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : Traditionally, innovation processes have often focused on creatively solving problems with the help of new technology or business models. However, when describing products in terms of function or visual appearance, the reflection on a less visible dimension, the product meaning, is left out. READ MORE

5. 3. Suggestions for innovation in the supplying of joinery products through the application of Lean-thinking and 3-D sensing

   Author : Samuel Forsman; Jakob Rehme; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

   Abstract : The supplying of engineer-to-order joinery products to the construction industry is a novel research area in both the wood-related and the construction-related fields. The process of supplying the construction industry with highly refined one-of-a-kind wood products is here examined in order to explore possible process innovations to identify factors contributing to inefficiency, to define areas for innovation to improve industry performance, and to evaluate 3-D sensing technologies as a way of achieving a model-based joinery production.

6. 4. The role of industrial energy management in the transition toward sustainable energy systems : Exploring practices, knowledge dynamics and policy evaluation

   Author : Mariana Andrei; Patrik Thollander; Anna Sannö; Patrik Rohdin; Kornelis Blok; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy management; Practices; Transition to sustainable energy systems; Knowledge-creation; Process innovation; Incremental and radical innovations; Voluntary initiatives; Digital technologies for energy efficiency;

   Abstract : Mitigating climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The EU has set the goal of reaching climate neutrality by 2050. The transition of manufacturing organizations is essential in reaching the EU’s goal, since industry accounts for circa 25% of the total final energy use and about one-fifth of EU’s GHG emissions.

7. 5. Breaking the chains : A technological and industrial transformation beyond papermaking: Technology management of incumbents

   Author : Michael Novotny; Staffan Laestadius; Lars Coenen; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Technological and industrial transformation; development block; incumbents; pulp and paper industries; wood-based biorefinery; diverging innovations of non-assembled products; Teknologisk och industriell omvandling; utvecklingsblock; etablerade företag och industrier; massa- och pappersindustrin; vedbaserade bioraffinaderier; divergerande innovationer av icke-sammansatta produkter.; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

   Abstract : In recent years, the necessity and opportunity for transforming pulp and paper mills into integrative units for large-scale output of biochemicals, biomaterials, and biofuels have come up in discussions of industrial renewal in the Northern hemisphere (mainly in Canada, Sweden and Finland). This transformation is related to technology shifts as well as changing business models based on new bioproducts due to profoundly new market conditions. READ MORE
