2. 1. 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

4. 2. 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. 3. Sustainable Electromobility : A System Approach to Transformation of Transportation

   Author : Harrison John Bhatti; Mike Danilovic; Rune Wigblad; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []

7. 5. Technological Change in an International Industrial System

   Author : Leif Linnskog; Ulf Johanson; Peter Söderbaum; Hans Hasselbladh; Mälardalens högskola; []

   Abstract : Industrial systems resist change, more often, because heavy production facilities and industrial constructions are expensive and have long economic lives, but also because people tend to defend ingrained conceptions of how things are and how activities ought to be performed. Starting out from the question: “How does technological change come about in an international, industrial system?” the thesis investigates the interplay between technological, social, and economic factors.
