Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I det tidiga 2000-talet står begreppet arbetslinjen i den politiska retorikens centrum. Regeringspartierna och oppositionen tävlar om vem som bäst hävdar arbetslinjen. Även om begreppet som sådant inte har använts lika frekvent under 1900-talet är dock frågan hur arbetets värde har hävdats. Denna artikel handlar om vilka argument SAF och LO använde i debatten om åttatimmarsdagen kring 1920. I likhet med idag präglades debatten av vem som bäst kunde uttolka samhällets eller nationens behov.

-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kursläromedel med fokus på hållbarhet och samtidens geopolitiska utmaningar och spänningar.Internationell ekonomi ger förståelse för de mekanismer som styr ekonomin i världen och fångar samtidigt dagens geopolitiska utmaningar och spänningar. Läromedlet riktar sig mot gymnasieskolan och vuxenutbildningen och lyfter fram viktiga historiska skeenden och samband och genom olika perspektiv och synsätt presenteras en nyanserad bild av en komplex värld. Hållbar utveckling är ett centralt tema, vilket betonas i avsnitten om resursfördelning, konsumtion och olika aktörers roll på den globala spelplanen.

Local and global market formation : the shaping of the Swedish biogas sector
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Several studies of sustainability transitions have used the technological innovation systems approach to study market introduction of renewable new energy technologies (Negro, Hekkert et al. 2007, Alkemade and Suurs 2012, Negro, Alkemade et al. 2012, Jacobsson and Karltorp 2013, Bento and Fontes 2015, Tigabu, Berkhout et al. 2015). These studies have shown that during these early stages, the new technologies and markets tend to be relatively crude. Moreover, established infrastructure, industry structures and institutional practices are often inadequate for the new technologies. This means that the new technology alternatives are rarely competitive on regular markets, which are dominated by existing technologies. Therefore, policy makers are advised to facilitate the formation of protective spaces – niches – which allow for the new technologies to enter the market (Kemp, Schot et al. 1998, Caniëls and Romijn 2008, Smith and Raven 2012). Gathering relevant stakeholders in the formation of networks, such protective spaces will nurture experimentation activities and assist the development and diffusion of knowledge. Moreover these protective spaces will empower proponents of the new technology, helping them to attract resources and build legitimacy for the new technology.While sustainability transitions literature have investigated the early stages of market introduction of renewable new energy technologies thoroughly, the critical step from having an established position in a protected niche to facilitating a broader diffusion to an actual market has received less attention in transition studies. According to Suurs and Hekkert (2009), this step would imply different kinds of innovation system dynamics, in which market formation would be an essential process and Jacobsson (2008) plead for a different set of policy instruments to support such broader market diffusion. Still the market formation processes for renewable new energy technologies are not well understood in sustainability transitions literature.Such formation processes are however well analyzed within the business to business marketing field. Araujo (2007) states that the creation of new markets can be achieved by various activities from different actors. Such market-shaping activities stretch from traditional firm level activities such as sales to activities that involve the entire markets institution e.g. changing the rules of the market (Kjellberg & Helgesson, 2007; Mele, Pels & Storbacka, 2015). In the center of a new market is the market offer. The process of qualifying the product involves different actors’ attempts to qualify desirable attributes and characteristics related to the offer (Callon et al. 2002). This process is especially important in shaping new markets since the market offer in itself is not fixed but rather something in the making. In the center of our study is the overall research question: What actors are involved in shaping the Swedish biogas market and what qualifications does these actors attribute to the product?

Material resources in strategy formation processes : Translations of electricity and forest assets in three Swedish forest industry companies, 1990-2008
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study examines the process whereby resources, long perceived as static, are reconstructed as increasingly dynamic in their characteristics, uses, and values, and considers how this process can be analyzed and understood theoretically. The paper examines how three energy-intensive Swedish forest industry companies have managed their electricity and forest resources. The author argues that Barney and Hesterley’s (2005) VRIO criteria treat resources as static, and that constructivist actor–network theory may be a more productive way of understanding the ongoing process of resource management. This study demonstrates how the management of electricity and forest resources changed not only between companies in the industry, but also within single firms, over the studied period.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study conducts an analysis of the relationship between strategic theory, industry- or marketwide practices, valuation metrics, and justification rhetoric in performing strategic practice. Indoing this, we refer to Michel Callon on the performativity of economics and Boltanski andThe´venot on the justification of strategic action. The paper introduces an analytical framework forstudying the corporate strategy pragmatics of a forest industry company Stora Enso over the19902008 period. The authors argue that Stora Enso’s corporate strategy is justified by andrepresents the outcome of multiple performances that coexist and interact with each other. Thesemultiple performances, ranging from general strategic management conceptual theories toindustry-wide practices and valuation metrics, may lead to conflict when creating successfulbusinesses.

Opposition and adjustment to industrial ‘greening’ : the Swedish forest industry’s (re)actions regarding energy transition – 1989-2009
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis analyses how the Swedish forest industry has (re)acted regarding the energy transition and, in particular, regarding the reconstruction of the electricity and forest resources in Sweden during the 1989–2009 period. The thesis consists of four papers that analyse how the Swedish forest industry by means of energy management practices at individual pulp and/or paper mills, in corporate strategies performed by CEOs and boards of directors, and via its industry association, has dealt with mounting political and public demands for the industry to become ‘greener’. At the heart of the thesis are issues related to the industry’s substantial use and management of electricity and forest resources.This thesis focuses on the patterns of conflict and reconstruction that various forest industry representatives (e.g., CEOs) and entities (e.g., mills and resources) have experienced in relation to opposing and/or adjusting to the energy transition. The Swedish forest industry constitutes an illuminating case in a wider research context of how an industry (re)acts regarding increasing environmental and energy-related demands concerning its strategic resources. By using multidisciplinary theoretical concepts when analysing industrial change, this thesis demonstrates the industry’s wider embeddedness in science, policy, and material resources.
