New Business Forms in e-Business and Media “e-Media”
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In a preliminary study a Nordic network for e-Business has been established between the media industry, vendors, service providers and scientists. This network has performed this project with the scope to develop new new innovative service forms and products for this new business area called ”e-Media”, and to identify the value chains and new business models needed for this area.The study first analyses the strucrural changes in the media and allied industries, i.e. content creation and advertising. Thereafter, a framework for innovations in e-Media is built together with a variety of business models. The framework is then used to identify new innovative service embryos for e-Media. Finally eight new services are exploited in industrial case studies.The outcome of the project is an extensive description of innovation methods, business models, more than sixty innovation embryos for exploitation and eight examples of more or less successfully exploited e-Media pilot cases. The project also elucidates the huge business potential of e-Media.

DigMus : Empowering Museum Professionals with Digital Skills: Mapping Report
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies provided vital tools for keeping museum audiences engaged and connected. In response to the crisis, many museums were forced to rapidly increase their digital presence. This, in turn, has affected and transformed daily museum operations and professional practices. In the aftermath of lockdown, it became evident that museum professionals urgently require new transferrable skills and competencies to comply with the new reality.The digital technology is already a crucial part of daily museum operations, but there is a shortage of digital skills and competences among museum personnel. To reveal and address them, there was a need to conduct mapping research into ongoing practices from practitioners’ perspectives. For this purpose, the DigMus team developed and distributed a survey to museums in Sweden, Estonia and Lithuania.The survey consisted of three sections that cover background information about the respondents and institutions, insight into professional practices, and recommendations for prospective training. With this survey, we do not aim to evaluate the performance and ability of different museum professionals to carry out specific digital activities. Rather, we try to generate a better understanding of the existing shortage in digital skills and competencies in order to tackle them by providing tailor-made professional training in the second stage of the project.Our approach to the survey involved gathering data from several individuals within each institution rather than auditing each museum via a single representative. The survey was disseminated by coordinating institutions, specifically by the Gävleborg County Museum in Sweden, the National Heritage Board in Estonia, and the Lithuanian Museums’ Centre for Information, Digitisation and LIMIS. The study was conducted from March through May 2021. In total, 96 respondents from 29 museums across the three countries participated. Given the intrinsically exploratory purpose of the survey as a preparatory stage for lifelong professional training development, the sample is not statistically representative. Nevertheless, the findings may be relevant for developing training materials and courses for different museum professionals in Sweden, Estonia, and Lithuania. The present report includes an overview of the digital practices of different museum specialists and summarizes the professional training needs to be addressed by the DigMus team during the next stage of the project.

Understanding MaaS: Past, Present and Future
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Daily references to the changing landscape in the provision of passenger transport services is made in the transport literature, including grey material. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is the acronym which appears to have caught the imagination of technology providers with promises of a new era of passenger transport whereby assets need not be owned and services can be bought at the point of need. It is the technological developments which have spearheaded the new understanding of MaaS. MaaS has evolved into a concept that integrates public and private transport services to provide one- stop access through a common interface. MaaS is at the centre of the popular view on future collaborative and connected mobility. For transport policy, MaaS is seen as a way to reduce car traffic, and its negative externalities, by enabling citizens to satisfy their mobility needs without having to own assets such as automobiles, either conventional or (in the future) self-driving. MaaS also opens new choices for non-car owning citizens who previously had limited transport options, making some of them socially excluded. Whilst definitions vary, the concept of MaaS has several dimensions: in the form of a smart app and in real-time, it provides mobility services using multimodal options, through a sophisticated journey planner that provides the user with multiple customised options and offers the opportunity for payment either at the point of use or with a pre-purchased mobility bundle. This single platform is envisaged to eventually be transferable around the world from city to city and region to region and also to remain pervasive to the user by working and monitoring the journey in real-time and providing options for recovery in the case of disruption, and with an aspiration to support public equity objectives. MaaS has also received considerable attention in recent years from decision-makers (for instance, the Finnish government has implemented new transport regulations intended to facilitate MaaS developments) and practitioners (examples of MaaS start-ups include MaaS Global in Finland, EC2B in Sweden and Moovel in Germany) as well as researchers (e.g., Hensher and Mulley (2019) Hensher, 2017; Jittrapirom, 2017; Sochor et al., 2016; Wong et al., 2019; Mulley, 2017). Still, the knowledge of MaaS is nascent, trials for the most part have not been thoroughly evaluated and the evidence for the mobility and societal benefits of MaaS have yet to be confirmed. The paper is structured as follows. The next section provides the literature context that underpins the part of the title of this paper relating to the ‘Past’. This is followed by a section detailing the present in terms of a current MaaS trial in Sydney, New South Wales, designed to provide another ‘data point’ in our current understanding of MaaS. The penultimate section looks to the future and the challenges ahead by identifying some key questions critical to the development of MaaS. The final section concludes.

Effektiv Regional e-utveckling : En forskningsutblick
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- IT har idag en framträdande roll i många olika sammanhang i vårt samhälle. Vi blir mer och mer beroende och påverkade av olika former av IT-baserad infrastruktur i såväl vårt vardagsliv som i vår yrkesmässiga gärning. Många av de IT-baserade tjänster och möjligheter som finns idag betraktas mer och mer som en naturlig del av vårt leverne och de förutsätts mer eller minde oreflekterat som en del av en samhällelig infrastruktur. Ungefär på samma sätt som vi ser på vägnät, sophämtning, barnomsorg, utbildning etc. I takt med denna utveckling har också kommuner, landsting och myndigheter tagit konsekvenserna av de nya möjligheter och krav som ett mer IT-baserat samhälle innebär. Medborgare och enskilda tillhör alltmer en generation som är uppvuxna med IT som en naturlig del av livet och deras tröskel för att tillgodogöra sig ny teknik och ta till sig nya tillämpningar blir successivt lägre. Dagens samhälle med sina medborgare ställer krav på moderna kommuner, landsting och myndigheter och att dessa kan tillhandahålla e-tjänster av olika slag på ett sammanhållet sätt i olika värdekedjor där såväl kommuner, landsting och myndigheter utgör olika sammanlänkade delar i dessa värdekedjor. e-utveckling är därför ett område som vuxit fram som något som inte kan hanteras enskilt av kommuner, landsting och myndigheter. e-utveckling är något som för att möta framtidens krav bör göras i samverkan vilket också kommer ställa nya krav på sättet att tänka om e-utveckling, hur man organiserar sig, vad som är lämpliga affärsmodeller och hur e-utveckling skall genomföras, bara för att nämna några områden där man behöver tänka till och i vissa fall tänka helt nytt.e-tjänster och e-utveckling har i många sammanhang blivit ett konkurrensmedel och en nationell trend. Detta ställer dock också krav på såväl organisation, infrastruktur, tjänster, verksamhetsprocesser och kompetens på olika sätt. Det är inte bara en utmaning i att ha fungerande e-tjänster och IS/IT infrastruktur. Verksamhets-processer behöver anpassas och kompetensen hos personal behöver utvecklas, såväl på tjänstemannasidan som politiker. Denna kompetensutveckling handlar dock inte bara om att lära sig teknik utan, kanske framför allt, att ta till sig och utveckla nya arbetssätt, principer för samverkan och ansvarsförhållanden i värdekedjor som innefattar betydligt fler aktörer än vad man tidigare varit van vid.Det finns i dagsläget många olika initiativ på olika nivåer som på ett eller annat sätt kan betraktas som e-initiativ, se t ex ”Digitala vägen till morgondagens välfärd – handlingsplan för eSamhället 2013-2015” med en kategorisering av 32 olika e-initiativ som skall skapa ett enklare, öppnare och effektivare samhälle, se Figur 1 nedan. e-initiativ kan dessutom återfinnas på regional nivå inom och mellan kommuner, på regional nivå mellan kommuner och/eller regioner, på nationell nivå och även på EU-nivå, se t ex Digital agenda som idag finns för EU, Nationell nivå samt att den i flera fall även blivit beslutat på kommunal nivå. Till denna bild skall också tilläggas myndigheter och landsting som i olika konstellationer och på olika sätt är involverade i olika e-initiativ.Uppdraget för denna rapport avser att inom ramen för ett VINNOVA-projekt bidra med forsknings- och utvecklingsinsatser för att uppnå målet att skapa en nationell ”Guide för effektiv regional e-utveckling” (e-utvecklingsrådet, 2013). Detta innebär att denna rapport också kommer att ingå med vissa omarbetade delar i den nationella guiden.Uppdragets syfte är att kartlägga lämpliga former för samverkan inom avseende e-utveckling mellan kommuner. Resultatet av denna kartläggning, slutsatser och analyser presenteras i denna rapport och skall användas som referens till den nationella guiden.Uppdraget till högskolan har inneburit att på en övergripande nivå att bidra till en nationell vägledning genom att beskriva svårigheter och förslag till lösningar för regional e-utveckling mellan kommuner, regioner, myndigheter, landsting och medborgare.

Piecing Together the Puzzle: Mobility as a Service from the User and Service Design Perspectives. Discussion paper
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Many public transport authorities are looking to how they can enable better mobility for their citizens, in congested urban settings as well as in poorly connected peripheral communities and rural areas. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is increasingly being presented as a possible solution in both contexts, although the path forward has proven far more difficult than hoped. Part of this may lie in underestimating the complexities of achieving integrated mobility services, which is often linked to a lack of practical experience in implementing and running MaaS services. To quote one project partner in a MaaS pilot project, who represented a public organisation new to MaaS but with long experience within one transport silo, and who shall remain nameless: “This was a lot harder than we expected”. So, what should one expect? Why has the MaaS vision not naturally coalesced? The purpose of this first discussion paper in the series is to try to understand the bigger picture of MaaS primarily from the user perspective but in an interplay with the service perspective, as the service offer and design inherently affect the use of the service. Questions include: What is MaaS? and What could it be?; Who are the (potential) users? and What do they stand to gain?; and How can related research and tools be utilised by public authorities and transport organisations to more proactively engage in MaaS developments so as to improve sustainability outcomes (ecological, economic and social) for users, public and private organisations, and society.

Digital solutions and remote work during the corona pandemic – what can we learn and how do we want to work in the future? : a follow-up study
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study analyses the experiences of increased digitalisation and reduced business travel at the Department of Urban and Rural Development (SOL) at SLU during the COVID-19 pandemic. By answering which digital arrangements have worked well, worse or better than their physical counterparts, the report can be used as a basis for work and travel policies at SLU and other higher education institutions. At the same time, we believe that the gathered empirical data may contribute to reflections on the social aspects emerging from digital work, in particular on group belonging, unequal access to digital solutions and general well-being. This report is a follow-up of a similar study conducted in 2020 and offers comparisons between different points in time during the pandemic.

Road to Shipyard 4.0: The state of play, a brief history of maritime developments, and a future roadmap Focusing on the Baltic Sea and Shipyards
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ECOPRODIGI is an initiative of the EU-Interreg Baltic Sea Programme, whose mission is to improve and promote the eco-efficiency of shipping and maritime operations. This report is a product of the work package 4 (WP4); a foresight exercise, whose mandate is to provide a roadmap for the future of maritime operations in the Baltic Sea Region with a focus on shipbuilding and shipyard operations. A sister publication exists that provides a policy-innovation roadmap for Ro-Ro shipping, entitled Maritime in the 21st century. This report is a product of inter-disciplinary collaboration. At the core of the team are the consortium members. Early drafts were validated through consultation with experts, and results were then summarised and validated together with wider industry and policy actors through surveys. For more information on the methodology, see Appendix 2. The potential users of this roadmap include a wide variety of stakeholders. Policy makers can use it as an agenda-setting reference for promoting and championing eco-efficient policies, regulations, and standards. Industry stakeholders can use it to check against their own strategies for coherence. Researchers can use it to anticipate questions that might be of particular relevance over the next decade. Technology developers can use it to benchmark against their own expectations for technology development. In all, this roadmap can be a starting point for discussion so that all stakeholders can move together into the future, forward, by sharing the expectations for development in order to coordinate action to enact eco-efficiency in the Baltic Sea and beyond. The report is organised as follows. The introduction will lay out the current state-of-play of eco-efficiency and the zeitgeist of the current situation on maritime that we find ourselves in, in 2020. The next section will provide some historical context looking back to 2010 and 2000 to trace the trajectory and developmental course that we are on. The core contribution of this report is the Shipyard 4.0 Roadmap, that can be found in Figure 1 on page 9. This illustration plots the expectations for technological capabilities and policy from 2020 to 2030. The descriptions of the elements of the roadmap are provided in Appendix 1. It should be acknowledged that the current COVID-19 pandemic has played a significant role in societies during the development of this roadmap. Indeed, the injection of such uncertainty has caused the authors of this report to reflect quite significantly. The ECOPRODIGI consortium considers this of utmost concern and thus requests that users of this roadmap take the status of the pandemic into consideration when using this roadmap. As it had always been thought of as a working roadmap of the future since its beginning, prudence is required in its use and it should be suggested that users create their own updates and assessments in an ongoing fashion as the future unfolds.
