- The sharing economy has evolved and spread to various sectors of the economy. Its early idea linked to the creation of more sustainable uses of resources. Since then, the development of the sharing economy has included a professionalization with self-employed suppliers rather than peers, and the question is whether the platforms following this development maintain the focus on sustainability. This paper describes and classifies the sustainability connotation of sharing economy platforms. It analyses 121 platforms derived through social media analytics to figure out whether they describe themselves as sustainable. The findings suggest that the sustainability connotation closely connects to specific sectors such as fashion, on-demand services and logistics. Meanwhile, the dominant role model platforms do not communicate about being sustainable. These findings contribute to previous research through (1) giving a systematic empirical account on the way various sharing economy platforms describe themselves in terms of sustainability, (2) pointing out the differences among the platforms, and (3) indicating the diversity in sustainability connotation among various sectors of the economy.

Social media analytics for innovation management research : A systematic literature review and future research agenda
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Technovation. - : Elsevier. - 0166-4972 .- 1879-2383. ; 123
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- New trends in innovation management may require new research methods. Social media analytics (SMA)—a method for capturing and analyzing data from user-generated content published on online platforms—has emerged as a complement or even alternative to more traditional research methods. This article systematically reviews and assesses the use of SMA and its potential for innovation management research. Our results show that use of SMA is still in an emergent phase, although it has become increasingly popular over the past decade. Our literature review illustrates that SMA provides new opportunities for innovation management scholars to enhance customer-, market-, technology-, and society-focused innovation research in several ways. In this paper we develop a research agenda and suggest areas for future research using SMA in innovation management.

Tracking the institutional logics of the sharing economy
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Handbook of the Sharing Economy. - Cheltenham : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 9781788110549 - 9781788110532 ; , s. 177-192
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter explores field-level logics associated with the sharing economy and how these logics can be categorized in relation to different characteristic features of that economy. It thereby links together core principles of the sharing economy-the access, platform and community-based economy-with market and non-market orders so as to create a better understanding for those tensions being part of the sharing economy and how they can be overcome. Empirically, the chapter analyzes 7362 social media posts and defines field-level logics through juxtaposing the core principles with market/non-market orders. Six field-level logics are identified: abundance, scarcity, profit, sustainability, global and local logics. The sorting tool of these field-level logics and their associated institutional orders provides clarity in relation to the blurred concepts of accessing, sharing and transferring; the variety of motives of users/consumers; and the reasons for parties to provide their services within the sharing economy. The chapter also contributes to previous research through linking together field-level logics with orders to create understandings for logics on phenomena levels and specifically related to the sharing economy.

Press releases, annual reports and newspaper articles : Using alternative data sources for studies on business network dynamics
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Annual IMP Conference,2006.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research according to the IMP-tradition has a strong foundation in case studies. These case studies are often built on interviews. Whereas interviews may capture the complexity of business relationships and networks, they are associated with weaknesses, especially if the interviews are meant to capture events that occurred in the past. In this paper we challenge the one-sided use of interviews through proposing alternative data sources for studies on business network dynamics. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and exemplify how press releases, newspaper articles and annual reports can be used systematically to study business network dynamics. Examples from three ongoing studies using these sources are presented to illustrate their use. These studies indicate that press releases, annual reports and newspaper articles enable both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of business network dynamics, where the systematic use of data enables the capturing of a network at different times of its development without the risk of rationalisation or loss of memory effects.

Social media analytics for knowledge acquisition of market and non-market perceptions in the sharing economy
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose Using the case of Foodora, this paper aims to assess the impact of technological innovation of an emerging actor in the sharing economy through stakeholders' perceptions in the market and non-market domains. Design/methodology/approach Using a methodological approach called social media analytics (SMA) to explore the case of Foodora, 3,250 user-generated contents in social media are systematically gathered, coded and analysed. Findings The findings indicate that, while Foodora appears to be a viable provider in the marketplace, there is mounting public concern about the working conditions of its employees. In the market domain, Foodora manages its status as an online delivery platform and provider well, but at the same time, it struggles with its position in the non-market sphere, suggesting that the firm is vulnerable to regulatory change. These insights highlight the importance of simultaneously exploring and balancing market and non-market perceptions when assessing the impact of disruptive innovation. Originality/value This study offers originality by providing an integrative approach to consider both the market and non-market domains. It is also novel in its use of SMA as a tool for knowledge acquisition and management to evaluate the impact of emerging technologies in the sharing economy.

Hur nås höga kursutvärderingar? : En studie av korrelationen mellan kursutvärderingar, nedlagd tid och studenters resultat på kurser
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Ett år med Bologna - vad har hänt vid LiU?. - Linköping : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 9789173935807 ; , s. 91-103
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Kursutvärderingar har blivit allt viktigare. De fyller idag inte enbart en funktion av att utgöra underlag för förbättringar inom utbildningen, utan används även för att utvärdera lärarens insatser. I och med detta skulle det också kunna uppkomma intressen att försöka styra undervisningen för att uppnå höga kursutvärderingar. Diskussioner har bland annat handlat om att höga krav på studenterna påverkar kursutvärderingar negativt (se exempelvis Bjuremark, 2008) samt om det går att få bättre kursutvärderingar genom att ge studenter höga betyg. Syftet med detta papper är att undersöka sambanden mellan det betyg studenterna ger en kurs, deras studiearbetstid och det slutbetyg studenterna erhållit från kursen. Inom Linköpings universitet används det elektroniska kursutvärderingssystemet KURT där man bland annat frågar efter hur studenterna bedömer kursen som helhet på en femgradig skala och där studenterna ska ange genomsnittlig studiearbetstid under kursen. Genom att jämföra dessa värden med studenternas studieresultat avser pappret att besvara följande frågor: Finns det något samband mellan studenternas slutbetyg och det betyg de ger kursen?, Finns det något samband mellan nedlagd studietid och studenternas slutbetyg? Och, finns det något samband mellan nedlagd tid och det betyg studenterna ger kursen? Som underlag för undersökningen använder vi data från 230 kurser inom ekonomi på teknisk fakultet vid Linköpings Universitet. Vi drar slutsatsen att medan det inte finns någon signifikant korrelation mellan nedlagd tid och studieresultat eller mellan kursutvärdering och studieresultat, så finns positiv korrelation mellan nedlagd tid och kursutvärdering. Dessa slutsatser är intressanta att lyfta fram kopplat till diskussioner om kursutvärderingar och studieprestationer, då de indikerar att (i) det inte lönar sig att ge enkla kurser för att få en bra kursutvärdering, (ii) en hög arbetsinsats primärt premierar kursen, medan studenten faktiskt inte når en bättre prestation, och (iii) att ge höga betyg till studenter inte premierar kursutvärderingen.

Fika a new turn in Food studies – an unexplored Swedish meal practice
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Food & Communication: Communicating 'good' foods. - Örebro : Örebro University. ; , s. 97-98
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Fika has appeared as a contender for the third Swedish word (in addition to ombudsman and smorgasbord) that has been introduced into the English language. We meet to fika in many different social contexts such as in the office morning-break, in a casually arranged business meeting, at homes as a tradition with home-baked pastries, and in cafes when friends meet and catch up. Fika as a cultural phenomenon is used extensively in destination marketing in Sweden and can be regarded as a food (or culinary) tourism experience. We also experience fika as one of the means to market Sweden, and some recent product launches try to build on fika as a value offering. This paper aims to conceptualise the meaning of fika and how it as a complex, cultural phenomenon can be marketed and thereby how a cultural tradition may enhance value created by firms in Sweden to attract customers locally as well as to reach out to other countries. The paper thereby connects fika as a practice and sensory taste with the destination-carrying values of fika for Sweden and firms, and how such values can be used in the marketing of products.This paper is the first output from a project focusing on fika as a practice, destination marketing’s use of fika and how companies use fika to market the value of their products. This research lays a basis for the understanding of how values and tastes are created in relation to the Swedish fika culture. The social practice of fika will help to grasp the product/service combinations’ links to social interaction and what role the combinations play, how they shift both in terms of content and cultural values related to various types of interactions and contexts. This will serve as input to improve destination branding activities as well as fika services of tourism companies and organisations where the local and national values of fika are ingrained. Accordingly, the research result will result in scientific knowledge that used by tourism operators and destination organisations in Sweden can lead to an improved destination image of Swedish destinations as well as more successful tourism companies.

Swedish Fika : Much more than a cup of coffee
- 2023
-
Ingår i: EuroCHRIE Vienna 2023. - Vienna.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Swedish Fika is more than a cup of coffee and a way of meeting. It is deeply rooted in cultural, inherited values with signals on a relaxed atmosphere and non-hierarchical organizational structures. It also creates large opportunities for Sweden as a tourism destination and for exporting products linked to the notion of Sweden. Yet, it has many different characteristics and carry variances related to a) the meal, b) the context, c) the time of the day, and d) with whom you have a fika. This paper discusses various dimensions of fika to create knowledge on how values are created in fika in terms as a cultural meal practice and its relation to sensory taste. tourism and branding. The paper thereby is a broad introduction to fika as a research field and contributes to past research through hypothesising about fika as a multidisciplinary research interest.
