    • Innovation is paramount to success. Over time firms must maintain their ability to innovate in order to maintain their competitive edge. In this paper we explore the role human resource management has in nurturing and enhancing the innovative capability of the firm. To explore HRM activities, functions and processes that enhance or impede innovativeness we conducted a literature review. Following this review, 10 propositions have been made that link HRM to both incremental and radical innovativeness respectively. Our results include suggestions for empirical studies to validate our propositions as well as some managerial implications.

  • Innovation-related Activities in a Low-tech Industry : A Study of the Electroplating and Surface Treatment Industry in Sweden
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Research on Technology, Innovation and Marketing Management 2009‐2011. - Halmstad : Högskolan i Halmstad. - 9789197507516 ; , s. 55-81

    • Given the complex and interdependent nature of innovation, it is a diverse phenomenon which takes place both in high‐ and low‐tech industries. The purpose of this paper is to increase our understanding about low‐tech industries’ innovation‐related activities and the specific capabilities of the companies that influence those. To achieve this purpose this study has performed an empirical analysis of the Swedish context of the Swedish Electroplating and Surface Treatment Industry (ESTI) and the characteristics of the companies operating in it. It investigated how the companies perceived their expertise and innovative activities in comparison with their main competitors. The main types of innovation the ESTI companieshad undertaken in a three‐year period (2004–2006) were studied. The research and development (R&D) and personnel qualification improvement expenditures were explored. The study looked into collaboration and the factors which companies perceived as important in order to collaborate. Our empirical evidence shows that innovation in the ESTI is shaped notby R&D but by other determinants, such as specific and rare capabilities in, for example, processing technologies, logistics, ability to spot, evaluate and exploit external knowledge as well as their ability to establish and sustain intercompany relationships. Strong relationships and integration with customers and suppliers emerge as pivotal for the innovation‐related activities in the ESTI. Additionally, close collaboration, facilitated by a strong intermediate institution, such as the Swedish Association of Surface Treatment Companies (Svensk YtbehandlingsFörening – SYF, also shape the innovation‐related activities in the ESTI.

    • The comparison of the different innovation and development attempts in the Nordic countries through benchmarking was the purpose of the project on which this contribution focuses. The aim of the project was, first, to study and analyse different ways of organizing and managing regional development and innovation processes and, second, to compare the results in order for the collaborative actors to reflect and learn from each others’ approaches and experiences. © Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2011.

  • The Importance of vision in born global companies
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Research on Technology, Innovation and Marketing Management 2009‐2011. - Halmstad : Högskolan i Halmstad. - 9789197507516 ; , s. 37-53
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the entrepreneur uses his vision in Born Global companies. Design/methodology/approach – In this qualitative study, data has been collected by carrying out case studies of three companies. The main approach has been to study the role ofvision, leadership and communication in these companies. Findings – The entrepreneur and his vision is very important in a Born Global company. The vision is like an umbrella and affects many important parts of the company, such as communication,r ecruitment, knowledge transfer and other parts that will form the company’s culture. After a few years these items will help to create the company’s handbook, which will form the guidelines for how employees in the company work and act. Even if the entrepreneurs motivate their employees in a positive way, so that they can develop and do a good job, the entrepreneurs still must control the company. Research implications – This is an area where much more research needs to be done. In this study the entrepreneurs have been interviewed. To get more information the employees need to be interviewed. Practical implications – Implications for traditional small to medium‐sized enterprise (SME) companies could help to understand what happens in Born Global companies. Originality/value – This paper uses a view of the visionary perspective to study the three companies. This could be used by more traditional companies to discover new areas of potential.

  • The interactive decision when outsourcing new product development
  • 2011. - 1
  • Ingår i: Research on Technology, Innovation and Marketing Management 2009‐2011. - Halmstad : Högskolan i Halmstad. - 9789197507516 ; , s. 83-101
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This article focuses on the outsourcing of new product development (NPD) in medium‐sized firms, and it specifically focuses the decisions connected to outsourcing. Although the model presented in the article is probably useful for small and large firms, the firms in the empirical study are medium‐sized. NPD is a knowledge‐intensive line of activities that requires the ability to handle uncertainties and it is very dependent on the individuals involved in the process. In this way it differs from production, which (especially when producing standard items in a large scale) is easier to control, monitor and evaluate the costs.Outsourcing can lead to advantages in the form of lower costs, access to knowledge or other resources (labs, funding etc.) as well as access to new markets, but it can also result in aknowledge drain, lower motivation among in‐house staff or an increased level of dependency on external organisations. A decision model is presented in this article that describes the decision process when outsourcing NPD.

  • Potential tourists’ image of a tourist destination : The case of Brazil
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Research on Technology, Innovation and Marketing Management 2009‐2011. - Halmstad : Högskolan i Halmstad. ; , s. 135-148
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This research deals with the image, which potential tourists may have about a tourist destination.Using a quantitative approach and a marketing and communication perspective, we tried to investigate how Brazil is seen by potential tourists who happened to be European students studying at the Halmstad University, Sweden. The research highlighted six categories, upon which the tourists’ image of Brazil is based, namely hospitality of the population, sexuality, tourism infrastructure, environment, economy, protection and safety. The results show that the image held by the studied target group about Brazil as a tourist destination, is an exotic country with a friendly population with an exuberant nature; the main identity icons are football and carnival events. Entertainment and fun are some other positive attributes mentioned by the respondents. However, violence and fragile security are the main concerns for the respondents.
