  2. 1. Beyond IT and Productivity : Effects of Digitized Information Flows in the Logging Industry

    Author : Maria Kollberg; Birger Rapp; Thomas Falk; Bo Carlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Information technology; productivity paradox; digitization; logging industry; Business and economics; Ekonomi; Economic Information Systems; Ekonomiska informationssystem;

    Abstract : The IT and productivity paradox has been the subject of considerable research in recent decades. Many previous studies, based mainly on macroeconomic statistics or on aggregated company data, have reached disparate conclusions. Consequently, the question whether IT investments contribute to productivity growth is still heavily debated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ergonomics Methods and Work Procedures in Car Manufacturing for Improvement of Quality, Productivity and Health at Work

    Author : Ann-Christine Falck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cost-benefit; ergonomics; manufacturing; productivity; risk assessment; quality;

    Abstract : Many studies have concluded that there are great human and economic gains in finding ergonomically sound solutions as early as possible in product and production development. Hence, the objective of the research presented in this thesis was to evaluate methods for improved ergonomics assessment in early phases of product and production development and in production.
