Social change through place innovation : [Samhällsdesign genom platsinnovation]
2015
Ingår i: Swedish Design Research Journal. - 2000-964X. ; :1, s. 9-13
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
This article explores how ‘place innovation’ can be used as a new scientific concept and practical tool to understand and shape the social design of the future. The article’s starting point is a collaborative project between academia, industry and the community in northern Sweden. The project is developing knowledge and methods of place innovation based on a coherent perspective on the innovative design of places. Place innovation weaves together social, cultural, economic and technological aspects in order to increase the attractiveness of a place to existing and potential visitors, residents and investors.

Making the Dead Alive : Dynamic Routines in Risk Management
2020
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt) abstract
Risk management in information security is relevant to most, if not all, organizations. It is perhaps even more relevant considering the opportunities offered by the digitalization era, where reliably sharing, creating, and consuming information has become a competitive advantage, and information has become an asset of strategic concern. The adequate protection of information is therefore important to the whole organization. Determining what to protect, the required level of protection, and how to reach that level of protection is considered risk management, which can be described as the continuous process of identifying and countering information security risks that threaten information availability, confidentiality, and integrity. The processes for performing risk management are typically outlined in a sequence of activities, which describe what organizations should do to systematically manage their information security risks. However, risk management has previously been concluded to be challenging and complex and as something that must be kept alive. That is, routines for performing risk management activities need to be continuously adapted to remain applicable to organizational challenges in specific contexts. However, it remains unclear how such adaptations happen and why they are considered useful by practitioners, as there is a conspicuous absence of empirical studies that examine actual security practices. This issue is addressed in this thesis by conducting empirical studies of governmental agencies and organizations. This was done to contribute to an increased understanding of actual security practices. The analysis used for this study frames formal activities as ‘dead routines,’ since they are constructed as instructions that aid in controlling performance, such as risk management standards. Practitioners’ performance, experience, and understanding are denoted as ‘alive routines,’ as they are flexible and shaped over time. An explanation model was used to elaborate on the contrast between dead— controlling—and alive—shaping—routines of risk management. This thesis found that when dead and alive routines interact and influence each other, they give rise to flexible and emergent processes of adaptations, i.e., dynamic routines. Examples of dynamic routines occurred in response to activities that were originally perceived as too complex and were adapted to simplify or increase their efficiency, e.g., by having a direct relation between security controls and asset types. Dynamic routines also appeared as interactions between activities in response to conflicting expectations that were adjusted accordingly, e.g., the cost or level of complexity in security controls. In conclusion, dynamic routines occur to improve risk management activities to fit new circumstances.

Lärande i förändring: den digitala undervisningsmiljöns utmaningar och potential
2024

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat) abstract
High-Order Thinking Skills, HOTS, dvs. analys, syntes och utveckling (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001), är centralt i aktivt lärande. Aktivt lärande har fokus på att engagera studenterna i sina lärprocesser snarare än att de ska vara mottagare av information (Bonwell & Eison, 1991). Interaktioner mellan studenter är ett effektivt verktyg för att gynna individuell och personlig utveckling (Crouch & Mazur, 2001). Humankapital, dvs. individers kunnande, egenskaper och fallenhet att lära av och lära på nytt, är numera pga. samhällets omvandling en eftersökt kompetens (Henning, Jakobsson & Johannesson, 2019).Undervisning som sker i lärosalar som är anpassade för aktivt lärande och som görs med matchande pedagogik visar att den fysiska miljön har en positiv inverkan på lärprocesserna (Kepez & Üst, 2022). Fortfarande sker undervisning oftare i traditionella fysiska miljöer, dvs. kateder, bänkar eller hörsalar, där eventuell ommöblering görs så gott det går för att stödja aktivt lärande. Antalet variationer i en sådan fysisk miljö är väldigt begränsade, medan valet mellan olika läromiljöer med hjälp av digitala verktyg är oerhört många fler. Det har dock visat sig att det är idén att replikera traditionell lärmiljö som begränsar (inter)aktivt lärande (Salmon, 2013).Pandemin gjorde att vi lärare tvingades ta ett stort och snabbt kliv in digital undervisning som vi inte var förberedda för. En undersökning från våren 2020 när distansundervisning pågått några månader visade att studenterna upplevde sämre välbefinnande, att studieprestation och kvalitén i undervisningen blev sämre, samt att en digital studiemiljö var mentalt krävande (SFS, 2020). Videokonferensverktyg såsom Zoom och Teams blev praktiska för fortsatt undervisning, men tillgodoser inte behovet av samverkan mellan deltagarna. Märkligt nog då sådana sociala digitala verktyg sägs överbrygga distans och stödja interaktion.Vi har under mer än ett decennium studerat olika typer av undervisningsmiljöer, både fysiska och digitala, och dess koppling till aktivt lärande i program och kurser för ingenjörer, informationssystem, samt inom informationssäkerhet. Syftet med vårt bidrag är att dela med oss av våra erfarenheter att av olika digitala verktyg för aktivt lärande i distans- och hybridkurser. Det finns utmaningar i verktygen i sig, dvs. finns ingen universallösning och att kombinationer av olika verktyg måste göras. Det finns också utmaningar i lärarens roll som facilitator för aktivt lärande som i sin tur ställer krav på hur lektioner designas.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat) abstract
As an area of excellence in research and innovation, EffectiveInnovation & Organization (EIO) at Luleå University ofTechnology (LTU) represents an important initiative aimedat addressing societal challenges by combining engineeringand social science research. EIO enables the pooling of resourcesfrom various scientific disciplines to address manyof the societal challenges Sweden is currently facing. Thisbook is one result from such pooling of disciplines, resourcesand cross-disciplinary discussions. Here, some leading EIOresearchers have jointly analysed and reflected upon fivekey societal challenges to identify some of their implicationsand future pathways for research at LTU. All of these challengesspan multiple scientific domains, and competence ininnovation and organisation will be critical if they are to beaddressed effectively.

Improving Team Activities in the Concept Development Stages : Addressing Radical Development and Open-Ended Problems
2016
Ingår i: Journal of Promotion Management. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1049-6491 .- 1540-7594. ; 22:4, s. 496-510
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
Firms seeking radical innovation require development teams to articulate design solutions based on open-ended problems. Such problems have no single answer to the problematical situation, but have several plausible solutions. Although prior studies have highlighted the importance of prototyping or other methodologies, they provide limited guidance toward addressing open-ended problems. We investigate how teams make sense of complex design and development problems in order to benefit innovative endeavors. The results illustrate a team-level concept development model that identifies critical stages, associated activities, and influencing mind-set to explain how engineering teams overcome challenges associated with open-ended problems

Scenarios as a Tool for Professional Training in Information Security Dialogues
2022
Ingår i: International Journal of Technology, Knowledge and Society. - : Common Ground Publishing. - 1832-3669. ; 18:2, s. 65-77
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat) abstract
This article presents scenarios designed to support abstract and reflective thinking necessary to inculcate information security awareness among IT service designers. Data for the study was obtained in empirical interventions and through an action research approach in cooperation with an IT company. The findings highlight the need for training that, in combination with traditional contents, also integrates organizational, business, and social aspects into information security awareness. Rethinking a strategy for training to be grounded in scenarios from day-to-day business activities is one implication of the study; another is the suggestion to frame the scenarios as dilemmas, that is, problematic and realistic situations having multiple solutions depending on interpretations and perspectives, and a final conclusion is the importance of enabling structured in-depth dialogues among employees.
