  • Practicing Agility: Proposing an Agile Organization Design Manifesto
  • 2022
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The interest in business agility and agile organizations is high on CEOs’ agendas in response to rising degrees of uncertainty and change. In line with dominating management theories, agility is typically positioned as an organization’s capability to be flexible, and agile organizations are entities which successfully leverage this capability for managing turbulent environments. In this paper, we develop an alternative to this agility as capability paradigm, focusing instead on what it means to practice agility from the inside. We draw on Mary Parker Follett and the experiences of managers and employees in a case study of an organization “born agile”, designed according to the principles of the Agile Manifesto, to outline the agility as practice paradigm, which gives primacy to people and relationships rather than focusing on assets, methods and tools. Based on the tension-embracing agility as practice paradigm, we develop a Manifesto for Agile Organization Design and discuss implications for managers and employees navigating the agile organizational space. In essence, this manifesto requires all organizational members to adopt, embrace and enact a creative and experimental attitude that seeks to collaboratively find new ways forward, seeing tensions as opportunities for finding a new common ground, leadership as distributed, strategy and organization design as emergent and structures as flexible.

  • Joining forces to create value: The emergence of an innovation ecosystem
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Technovation. - : Elsevier BV. - 0166-4972. ; 115
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • During periods of discontinuous technological change (DTC), firms seek alliances to obtain new resources and competences. The concept of innovation ecosystems is increasingly used to address joint value creation endeavours. Interactions within an innovation ecosystem are typically organized around a technology platform consisting of shared assets, standards, and interfaces. Yet, few empirical studies explain how innovation ecosystems emerge. Based on a longitudinal case study of autonomous drive technology development at Volvo Car Group, this paper aims at showing how alliances for developing a new technology leads to the emergence of an innovation ecosystem. In the context of a DTC, the paper underlines how the initial resource constraints can be a blessing in disguise that drives a firm to seek new alliances. We identify that the alliances had a significant influence on the technology platform, transitioning it from an internal to a modular technology platform. This triggered the emergence of an innovation ecosystem, consisting of actors co-creating value and organizing around the technology platform. Further, the paper highlights the subtle distinction between modularization for outsourcing and modularization for co-creating value.

    • Under pressure to innovate and be cost-effective at the same time, R&D departments are being challenged to develop new organizations and processes for Front End activities. This is especially true in the pharmaceutical industry. As drug development becomes more risky and costly, the discovery departments of pharmaceutical companies are increasingly being compelled to provide strong drug candidates for efficient development processes and quick market launches. It is argued that the Fuzzy Front End consists less of the discovery or recognition of opportunities than of the building of expanded concepts: the notion of concept generation is revisited, suggesting the need for a new logic for organizing Front End activities in order to support sustainable innovative product development. Based on an in-depth empirical study at a European pharmaceutical company, this paper contributes to improved understanding of the actual management practices used in the Front End. Using a design reasoning model (the C-K model), it also adds to the growing body of literature on the management of Front End activities in new product development processes.

  • Leveraging on open innovation: A study of why organizations engage in open innovation collaboration
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: NFF conference in Iceland, August 2013.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The open innovation paradigm suggests that innovations do not necessarily originate from the organizations that commercialize them. Accordingly, organizations seek to find ways to obtain, integrate and commercialize knowledge from external sources. One way of engaging in open innovation is to be involved in open innovation arenas, where many organizations collaborate. So far, little empirical research has been done on why firms engage in such open innovation activities, beyond the obvious reason to access assets. Could there also be other motives? This paper investigates why organizations engage in open innovation collaboration. The setting is an open innovation arena involving 22 partner organizations collaboratively innovating in automotive safety. Data from interviews with each partner is the basis for the analysis. The results reveal many reasons for participating in the collaboration. Three main categories were discerned: business reasons (e.g. to improve image and recruit knowledgeable people), research reasons (e.g. to obtain better position within the area and access a broader knowledge base) and collective reasons (e.g. to form a joint agenda and to have a collective voice needed for making a difference). An important consequence of the different motives is that they constitute the basis for evaluating the performance of the collaboration. Where other studies primarily have assumed that firms collaborate to gain financial rewards or to increase the innovative capacity, this study suggests that also other performance criteria are important. As an effect the potential effectiveness of the collaboration is multifaceted and must be evaluated as such. The paper concludes that the expectations that organizations bring to open innovation collaboration vary to a large extent and that the desire to access external assets is one of several motives. Understanding that motives may also be commercial or collective is of utmost importance since such expectations will guide the actions, priorities and choices of each organization. Failing to recognize this may lead to collaborative inertia and thus puts the quality of the collaboration at risk.

  • Triangulating relations to explore openness of innovation
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Academy of Management Conference, Chicago, August 2009.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In a longitudinal study of an open innovation arena, we study how the leadership practices come to focus on managing relations rather than processes in innovative work. The arena, which is called SAFER, engages world leading companies in automotive safety to jointly develop both innovations and methods to improve the competitiveness of its constituents, who are often each other’s most fierce competitors. The set up allows us to explore how the innovation collaboration develops from several of the collaborating parties’ viewpoints. We aim at develop a multifaceted understanding of how open innovation practices are managed on three leadership levels, from the perspective of the arena itself, as an intermediary in the process, and from the perspectives of the collaborating parties.Exploring openness of innovation by triangulating relations is…blurry. Patterns develop over time, and there is no chance that a snapshot gives you the whole picture.

  • Framing Design Thinking: The Concept in Idea and Enactment
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Creativity and Innovation Management. - : Wiley. - 0963-1690 .- 1467-8691. ; 25:1, s. 38-57
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The concept of design thinking (DT) has emerged in management debates as promising innovation inspired by the way designers work. Despite the growing interest in DT, it is a difficult concept to study due to the lack of coherence between what DT ‘is’ in academic and practical terms. While there are numerous normative and often process-focused depictions ofDT, they seem limited in their ability to account for what occurs in practice. Given the discussion of DT as a concept, and emerging discussion of its enactment, a framing is needed that acknowledges both aspects. This paper proposes a framing of DT that makes it researchable in both theory and practice, and discusses commonalities and discrepancies in how the concept is usually portrayed in the literature. The paper builds on an empirical interview study in six large organizations, which led to the development of a framework structure and the identification of five themes characterizing DT: User focus, Problem framing, Visualization, Experimentation and Diversity. Each theme is associated with specific principles/mindsets, practices and techniques. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a framework that includesDT both as an idea and as the enactment of the idea, inspired by the works of Latour.

  • Vehicles for innovation and learning: The case of a neglected concept car project
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Knowledge and Process Management. - : Wiley. - 1092-4604 .- 1099-1441. ; 14:1, s. 1-14
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In the competitive automotive industry product development processes are increasingly structured, leaving little room for learning and hence developing the knowledge needed for creating the innovative new products that are essential in order for automotive companies to remain competitive in the long run. Previous studies underline the importance of explicitly managing innovation and knowledge creation in order to successfully develop innovative products. It is our contention that the concept car constitutes an important arena for learning and creating useful knowledge in the automotive industry. This paper presents a detailed analysis of a concept car project at Volvo Cars (the YCC project), tracing how it was used from a learning perspective. Based on this longitudinal study, this paper argues that there is a need to manage more explicitly the learning opportunities provided by concept car projects in order to leverage on the knowledge created. It also discusses some of the barriers to learning that are illustrated by the case study. Finally the paper suggests further research directed towards innovative activities, such as concept cars in order to better understand the nature of their interface with established NPD processes. © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • CBIs studie om innovationsledning
  • 2011
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • CBI har under andra halvåret 2010 och första halvåret 2011 genomfört en studie av innovationsledning hos 38 utvalda svenska företag inom tillverkning, IT och Telekom. Syftet var att undersöka hur företagen leder och organiserar innovation samt vilka utmaningar de står inför. Frågorna har besvarats av antingen VD eller en medlem i ledningsgruppen med insyn i företagets hantering av innovation.Resultatet visar att -de flesta företagen inte skiljer på radikal och inkrementell innovation-i många företag används ordet innovation för all produkt- och tjänsteutveckling-de flesta företag ser en ökning av innovationstakten inom sin respektive bransch-de flesta företag uttrycker att innovation är viktigt, samtidigt som få företag har innovationsfrågor bland sina tre största utmaningar-hälften av företagen använder någon form av rutin för att stärka sin förmåga att skapa nya produkter och tjänster, men endast ett fåtal använder flera olika rutiner-förstainnovationsföretagen (mindre, relativt nystartade företag) skiljer sig från de övriga i det att de är starkt innovationscentrerade-många företag välkomnar stöd från akademin, men endast ett fåtal önskar stöd att öka sin innovationsförmågaCBIs samtliga seniora forskare har genomfört intervjuerna.

  • Role Confusion in Open Innovation Intermediary Arenas
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: New Forms of Collaborative Innovation and Production on the Internet, eds. Wittke, V. & Hanekop, H.. - 9783863950200
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Intermediaries have become an increasingly important part of innovation collaborationarrangements such as open innovation. Much attention has been given tostructural arrangements for open innovation, but less interest has been given tohow people experience the participation in open innovation work. This chapter isbased on a longitudinal case study of SAFER, an open innovation intermediaryarena for research on traffic and vehicle safety. It investigates how participants inthis arena experience their situation as they spend time on things typically "outside"their tasks in their home organizations. The study provides insight into thetensions and confusion that the participants experience in their work, as they constantlyneed to renegotiate their positions both within their home organizations,and in the relation to the intermediary arena and the other organizations.

  • Managing Open Innovation: Exploring Challenges at the Interfaces of an Open Innovation Arena
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Creativity and Innovation Management. - : Wiley. - 0963-1690 .- 1467-8691. ; 20:4, s. 273-283
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Collaborating with peers to gain access to knowledge is an attractive alternative for organizations keen to improve their innovativeness, and the rising popularity of open innovation has resulted in the emergence of new actors in the innovation process. Previous research focuses mainly on the firms that collaborate with these actors. This paper adopts the perspective of an open innovation actor and the managerial challenges involved. It is based on a case study of SAFER, a Swedish traffic and vehicle safety research unit with 22 collaborating partners. The unit, which is here called an open innovation arena, differs from an intermediary in that it both enables open innovation within a specific field of expertise and envisages itself as a key player in that same field. The case study reveals three types of challenges for the management of an open innovation arena: challenges that arise at the interface with partner organizations, challenges related to collaboration between the partners, and challenges related to the arena itself.
