- 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.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the experiences of setting up a knowledge triangle project in the software development field as an approach to teaching in the area of information systems and information technologies. The case includes an international dimension of the IT industry as it interconnects several countries. The cooperation between company and university is a pedagogical tool for creating an educational situation which conveys motivation and broad perspectives to the student. However, this brings in a number of problems and a generally higher level of complexity. This paper explores a case that illustrates the complexities and presents a generic model of a setup for a knowledge-triangle-based educational situation. Its model adopts an increasingly important aspect of IT education, namely how to prepare students for the globalized nature of the IT industry. The final discussion focuses on issues concerning the use of knowledge triangle thinking, including complexity, measurements, pedagogy and organization.

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.

University–Industry–Student: A volatile triangle
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the ICETI 2011, International Conference on Education, Training and Informatics. - 9781936338184
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Collaboration involving student–industry activities entails a complex interaction between university, students, and industry. The university–student–industry triangle identified here is neither static nor balanced, and each of the three intertwined relationships displays distinguishing characteristics. Each has its own structure; the activity phases of the relationships are not synchronous, and each of the three parties enters into collaboration guided by different motives and expectations of the outcome. Though the reasons for engaging in collaboration differ dramatically from party to party, they all relate to one of three aspects, i.e., a strategic/tactical, an operational, and an individual/emotional aspect, which together form the “motivation prism”. To ensure enterprise longevity, university representatives should concentrate on the realistic set-up of student–industry activities, on calibrating company expectations, and on personal relationships with company representatives.

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.

Strategic management, public value creation and the strategic triangle : Strategy work in the Swedish public cultural sector
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Strategic management (SM) is argued to be increasingly important for shaping the performance of public organizations (Poister, 2010; Andrews et al. 2012). In relation to performance, activities of monitoring and evaluation are described as important to succeed with strategy work in public sector (Plant 2009; Poister 2010), but few studies have been done on this area (Höglund 2015; Höglund et al., 2018). This is despite the fact that an important part of SM in the public sector is reporting on performance through some form of administrated performance information (see e.g. Weiss, 2016). It is, nevertheless, not easy to incorporate SM into the public sector (Elbanna et al., 2016; Poister 2010; Weiss 2016), as these theories builds on private sector ideas that focus on profitability, competitive advantage, a unique market position, and growth through market-shares, performance aspects not always well-suited to the public sector (Ferlie and Ongaro 2015; Höglund et al., 2018; Lane and Wallis 2009). One of the few that explore possible performance measurements in public sector context is Lane (2008) who suggest that public sector should focus on delivering service e.g. the quantity of service, quality of service, service satisfaction and distribution of service. That this kind of performance measurements are important to understand in order to get an idea of what kind of value a public organization is contributing to the society and its citizens. Drawing upon the aspects of performance and public value we introduce public value management (PVM) by addressing the strategic questions of (Moore, 1995; Stoker 2006): Is it valuable for the public? Is it legitimate and politically supported? Do we have the operational capacity? In this way contributing with an analytical framework of SM in public sector that focus on performance and its relation to public value.In short, the proposed paper can be seen as an attempt to meet up with the call to enhance our understanding of SM and performance reporting in relation to public value. We do this by presenting a qualitative case study of how the cultural department at Region Stockholm, in Sweden, has been affected by the organizations work to achieve a congruent SM that will give them an overall direction with common work practices. In this way Region Stockholm takes on an approach to SM that will give the organization a holistic view of all their departments by mixing long-term thinking, goal analysis, and evaluation of values, goals, and priorities (cf. Mintzberg et al., 1987).Our results indicate that the work with SM at Region Stockholm gives the culture department and opportunity to become more visible in the organization by getting their own goal in the strategic plan and are included in other departments goals. However, the goals and the performance measurements do position culture as a mean, rather than a goal. In this way culture becomes nothing more than an instrument and a commodity to reach better performance for Region Stockholm as an organization. In this way culture tend to lose its own value, and consequently how public culture will generate value to its citizens.
