Arjeplog Winter Car Testing Emergence of a Cluster
- 2016
-
Patent (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The downsizing of traditional employment in Arjeplog, a rural village in Northern Sweden, resulted in some taking the opportunity to become self-employed. Some locals exhibited extraordinary knowledge about ice, which became an important core competence for a new industry and later a whole cluster. Regional entrepreneurs met German engineers who were searching for a location for winter testing of new car models and components. Social capital such as trust, a friendly community and informal business relations contributed to the Germans' decision to try winter car testing in Arjeplog. Based on some factor endowments and entrepreneurship a new cluster took form. Factors like arctic climate and infrastructure together with the importance of proximity are captured in Porter's diamond. However, the case shows that these factors alone are not sufficient to explain the evolution of the cluster. The entrepreneurial environment and the attitude of the community affect social capital. The strength of relationships and the emergence and presence of networks and organisations facilitate co-operation and the formation of new, fruitful relationships. The entrepreneurs in each phase, aided by new values and norms, took the cluster to a new level. These elements combined contributed to a positive spiral and growth of the cluster, both through attraction of inward investment and immigration and through a redeployment of local resources and capabilities. This case shows that there are different needs in each phase of the cluster evolution.

CFR Course Note #006: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Retail
- 2023
-
Patent (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Artificial intelligence (AI) was established as a research topic already in the 1950s, but more recent developments in data availability and computing power have enabled AI to grow from an academic topic to one that transforms business operations in ways that are likely to have a profound impact on both society and the economy in the future. In fact, many experts argue that AI will impact the world as profoundly as the invention of the personal computer, the internet, or the smartphone. Companies across all industries are beginning to reconceptualize their business processes and organizational structures for the age of AI. This is also true for the retail industry. In fact, many retailers have been on the forefront of digital transformation using advanced data and predictive analytics to make data-driven decisions. Through AI, retailers are now taking further steps into data-driven business processes and innovating new ways to blend digital and physical channels and touchpoints. In the following course note, we will provide a brief overview of the literature on AI in retail and introduce some key constructs related to AI.
