Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In recent years, the concept of lifelong learning has been emphasized in relation to higher education, with a bearing idea of the possibility for the individual for a continuous, self-motivated pursuit of gaining knowledge for both personal and professional reasons, provided by higher education institutions (HEI:s). But how can this actually be done in practice? In this paper we present an ongoing project called MAISTR, which is a collaboration between Swedish HEI:s and industry with the aim of providing a number of flexible courses within the subjects of Artificial intelligence (AI), Design, and Innovation management, for professionals. Our aim is to describe how the project is setup to create new learning opportunities, including the development process and co-creation with industry, the core structure and the pedagogical design. Furthermore, we would like to discuss both challenges and opportunities that come with this kind of project, as well as reflecting on early stage outcomes. © 2023, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.

Incumbents’ responses to disruptive business model innovation: the moderating role of technology vs. market-driven innovation
- 2014
-
In: International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management. - Olney : InderScience Publishers. - 1741-5098 .- 1368-275X. ; 18:4, s. 289-309
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Current research argues that incumbents should respond to disruptive innovation by setting up a separate business unit. This recommendation stems from research predominantly carried out on disruptive technologies in high-tech industries but whether incumbents respond differently to other types of disruptive business model innovations and whether the type of response leads to a difference in performance have not been empirically analysed. By collecting data from 88 strategic business units (SBUs) and dividing the sample into incumbents responding to disruptive technology against those responding to disruptive market-driven innovations, the study shows that the latter type of firms can succeed in managing both disruptive and sustaining innovations without setting up structurally separated business units. We discuss the implications of our results and highlight areas for further research.

The teaching and societal services nexus: Academics’ experiences in three disciplines
- 2015
-
In: Teaching in Higher Education. - Abingdon, Oxon : Informa UK Limited. - 1356-2517 .- 1470-1294. ; 20:2, s. 208-220
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, we investigate the perception of academics regarding how their experiences from societal interaction (third mission) inform their teaching and vice versa. We report on a phone survey of Swedish academics in three engineering-related disciplines. The findings show that there is a perceived positive and bidirectional relationship between societal interaction and teaching. Industry-related activities were perceived to inform teaching more than other types of societal interaction. While societal interaction is at large more important for the academics in their search for relevant teaching topics and content, teaching was deemed more important for the implementation of societal interaction. We conclude by proposing that academics creatively (re)combine experiences from third mission and education, often mediated by their research activities.

The use and abuse of 3D-printing from a business model perspective
- 2016
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper analyses changes in user activities and behaviour across different types of actors following the introduction of 3D printers. 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has been claimed to disrupt manufacturing, allowing firms to move from prototyping to full-scale end-part production and replacement part production in a one-step process. 3D printing has many different uses, for example, the manufacturing of toys, shoes, lamps and fashion accessories, and by implication many different types of users and buyers. There are few empirical studies on the types of uses and users of 3D, hampering our understanding in what ways the 3D printers may change the behaviour of users, and whether 3D printers affect the likelihood and the nature of entrepreneurship or business model innovation. To investigate this, a model was created based on the 3DP literature. The model is applied on a distributor customer database and four interview-based illustrative case studies. The empirical findings show that the use of 3DP a) lowers the knowledge and resource barriers for experimentation and entrepreneurial entry, b) increases product and concept prototyping in product development, c) provides a potential for business model innovation by expanding the boundaries of the firm upstream and downstream, and d) becomes a ticket for entrepreneurial entry. Based on our results, the paper suggests that the potential of 3D printers alter user innovative activities is high but most of the potential is latent.

OSMaaS Toolkit : Designing Open and Self Organising Mechanisms for Sustainable Mobility as a Service
- 2024
-
Reports (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- The project Open and Self Organizing Mechanisms for Sustainable Mobility as a Service (OSMaaS) ran between 2020 and 2024, hosted by Halmstad University and funded by The Knowledge Foundation. The project was a collaboration between researchers from service design, design ethnography, business model innovation, and intelligent systems, and the companies Volvo Cars, WirelessCar, Polestar, and Devoteam. One of the project’s outputs is the OSMaaS Service Design Framework that integrates research from the different activities in the project into a toolkit for service designers. This booklet provides a guide for how to apply the framework. Each canvas can be used standalone or in any order, but our experience is that the framework is most powerful when following the design process presented here. The canvases can be downloaded from the OSMaaS webpage and are free to use.

Explaining business model innovation processes: A problem formulation and problem solving perspective
- 2022
-
In: Industrial Marketing Management. - New York : Elsevier BV. - 0019-8501 .- 1873-2062. ; 105, s. 223-239
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study explains the business model innovation processes in industrial firms. Drawing on three case studies of leading business-to-business firms shifting from product-based to service-based business models, it introduces problems as a theoretical concept to explain business model innovation processes. We show how formulating and solving problems guide the search for a viable business model and why some problem formulation and solving activities lead firms to shift between backward-looking and forward-looking searches. The decision to shift to a forward-looking search is triggered by the perception of failure to continue with an established way of working, while the shift to a backward-looking search is based on the perception of high alternative costs. We contribute to the business model innovation and servitization literature by theorizing the process of business model innovation and providing implications for managers.
