- This paper introduces a conceptual framework: the CPS triangle, which has evolved over four years of research on ‘older people meet robots’. It is a synthesis of domestication theory, modern social practice theory and empirical data. Case studies on the domestication of one current technology, the robotic vacuum cleaner, and two emergent technologies, the eHealth system and the service robot, provide empirical evidence. Considering ‘older people meet robots’ within the framework of the proposed CPS triangle can help us to understand older people’s domestication or rejection of robots. In the CPS triangle, C represents the cognitive dimension; P, the practical dimension; and S, the symbolic dimension. The CPS triangle is meant to serve as a tool rather than a rule. It is recommended that the CPS triangle be tested more widely in a range of contexts. It will require adaptation and customisation for the context of use.

- The concept of a knowledge triangle, i.e., the principle of strengthening the linkages between research, education and innovation, has emerged as a result of policymakers' expectations that universities assume a broader societal responsibility. Yet, little is known about how these tasks and their interactions are orchestrated at universities. We explore concept of how the knowledge triangle is manifested in the organisation and strategy of three different Swedish universities, and how these manifestations are shaped by the policy landscape. The article highlights the fact that although the knowledge triangle remains a priority, explicit national policies are lacking, with the responsibility of integration falling upon universities themselves. We observe great diversity in how the principles of the knowledge triangle are orchestrated at the universities, e.g., through individuals' interpretations and attitudes, and through management strategies and incentive schemes. However, the three tasks have largely been handled separately, with weak coordination and generally limited ambition demonstrated by university management teams to forge new combinations of remits. At the individual and group levels, we observe weak task articulation, although some role models serve as inspiration. Tensions emerge as the responsibilities of operationalising the knowledge triangle falls on individuals who sometimes lack the appropriate mandate and resources. These findings raise questions for further research and implications for policy and university management.

Strategic management, management control practices and public value creation : The strategic triangle in the swedish public sector
- 2021

Ingår i: Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 0951-3574 .- 2051-3151 .- 1758-4205. ; 34:7, s. 1608-1634

- Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enhance understanding of the conceptualisation and operationalisation of public value in practice by applying Moore's (1995) strategic triangle as an analytical framework to study strategic management and management control practices in relation to public value. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses an interpretative longitudinal case study approach including qualitative methods of document studies and interviews between 2017 and 2019. Findings In the strategic triangle, the three nodes of authorising environment, public value creation and operational capacity are interdependent, and alignment is a necessity for a strategy to be successful. But this alignment is vulnerable. The findings suggest three propositions: (1) strategic alignment is vulnerable to management control practices having a strong focus on performance measurements, (2) strategic alignment is vulnerable to standardised management control practices and (3) strategic alignment is vulnerable to politically driven management control practices. Originality/value With the strategic triangle as a base, this paper tries to understand what kind of management control practices enable and/or constrain public value, as there has been a call for this kind of research. In this way it adds to earlier research on public value, to the growing interest in the strategic triangle as an analytical framework in analysing empirical material and to the request for more empirical studies on the subject. The strategic triangle also embraces political factors, government agendas and political leadership for which there has also been a call for more research.

The Conflict Snowflake: Galtung’s Conflict Triangle Transformed
- 2018

Ingår i: Sociologidagarna 2018, Lund.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- From notions of “structural violence” to “positive peace” (1969), Johan Galtung has made notable contributions to the field of sociology. While these ideas are significant, they are not above critique. Unfortunately, over the last five decades, these contributions have received insufficient criticism (Lawler, 1994) and, as a result, they are not being adequately employed, refined, and transformed. In this paper, I redress this oversight by exploring one of Galtung’s most prominent and widely cited contributions: the conflict triangle (1996). My purpose is to understand what this model adds to our conceptualization of conflict and, more importantly, what it hides and distorts. I argue that this needlessly reductionist representation suffers from the logical fallacy of equating causes with consequences and, therefore, fails to clarify why conflicts occur (Wallensteen, 2015, p. 42). This becomes especially problematic when Galtung employs it as a model for conflict handling in his TRANSCEND method (Galtung & Fischer, 2013, pp. 59–86). I offer an alternative representation of conflict called the Conflict Snowflake. I use this model to identify the six fundamental features that constitute the ‘why’ of conflict including power, identity, emotion, belief, history, and context. I conclude by demonstrating the ways in which the Conflict Snowflake provides new avenues for conflict analysis.

A Theoretical Framework for Synchronous Remote Teaching? : Reshaping the Pedagogical Triangle
- 2022

Ingår i: Journal of Digital Social Research (JDSR). - Umeå : DIGSUM, Umeå University. - 2003-1998. ; 4:2, s. 86-97

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores synchronous remote teaching as a pedagogical practice and elaborates upon a framework with which to understand the practice theoretically. The empirical backdrop comprises remote teaching practice in Sweden, where this practice is implemented via digital technology and with an onsite facilitator who is present with the students. The pedagogical triangle is revisited, examined, and explored in relation to remote teaching as a new pedagogical practice. In the theoretical elaboration, the pedagogical triangle is reshaped into a pyramid due to the onsite facilitator's participation in the remote teaching. This elaboration is a first step to establishing a theoretical understanding of remote teaching practice on its own terms.

The Knowledge Triangle Cards : Supporting university-society collaborations
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 11th European Conference on Games Based Learning, ECGBL 2017. - : Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited. - 9781911218562 ; , s. 807-813

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Knowledge Triangle Cards (KT Cards) is an educational tool designed for a pilot course at Mälardalen University which aims to help students to contextualize studies to global and national societal needs and to collaborate more closely with society (business and municipalities). The aim is to have students become better at choosing assignments, projects and thesis topics that tie in closer to the labour market and societal needs. The KT Cards are based on a traditional deck of cards and the suits represent different aspects of the knowledge context: opportunity, process, outcome, and stakeholder. Additionally, a set of gamified and non-gamified exercises were designed to prompt reflection and discussion about how student projects incorporate these aspects. A pilot study was carried out in order to test and develop the educational tools and future studies. A total of 24 students and teachers participated and data was collected through observations and feedback from participants. The study indicates that the gamified activities could influence reflection and discussion by speeding up pace of the activity and affecting group dynamics. Two aspects were identified as potentially prompting gamification-shorter time frames and having multiple groups completing the activities. Further studies will look more closely at these aspects for designing gamification and how this affects discussion. The next design iteration will implement minor changes to the visual design of the cards and review how the prototype could provide students with know-how on university-society collaborations and a deeper understanding of the Knowledge Triangle concept.
