Breaking ore and gender patterns : a strategic and sustainable R&I-agenda for the Swedish mining industry
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Swedish mining industry experiences a major production and economic boost and Luleå University of Technology (LTU) has established itself as Europe’s leading mining university. Together they are, along with other actors in society, a leading innovation system. This innovation system, however, face a number of challenges, such as recruitment problems, demand for new technology and research, mining communities that need be upgraded and restructured and unequal, gendered work, organizations and innovation policy initiatives.In this paper we present a gender aware research and innovation agenda in the mining sector, which aims to create more gender equal innovation and thus contribute to a socially sustainable and internationally competitive development of the Swedish mining sector. The agenda, a result of interactive collaboration between the project team, LTU mining researchers and actors from e.g. LKAB, Boliden AB, Northland resources as well as The County Council of Norrbotten and the local communities, contains a list of tentative projects, defined by the innovation system. Some examples of projects are; Key roles of middle management for a gender equal mining industry, Gender patterns among mining entrepreneur companies, Gender aware and strategic recruitment, promotion and retention practices in the mining industry and Attractive and gender equal mining communities. The long-¬‐term vision, defined by the innovation system, is that the Swedish mining industry is a field of excellence, that the industry is well known for being world-¬‐class at breaking ore and gender patterns, that gender aware organizations and workplace cultures are created and sustained for efficiency, productivity and innovation as well as that regions and communities are characterized by economic growth, openness, tolerance and collaboration between mining companies and society. Drawing on theories and reflections on “undoing gender”, “degendering” and “gender toning down” we will in the paper also introduce a discussion on the relations between global mining industry, work organizations (mining companies, entrepreneur companies), labour unions, other actors, surrounding local communities and regional context etc. when it comes to doing and constructions of masculinities.

Social innovation i Svenska kyrkan
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Svensk kyrkotidning. - 0346-2153. ; 112:1, s. 13-
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Idag ser vi hur kyrkan ställer om sina verksamheter för att hantera aktuella samhällsutmaningar såsom flyktingströmmar, fattigdom, hemlöshet och andra former av social exkludering. Det finns en mängd exempel på hur kyrkan utvecklar innovativa arbetssätt för att möta olika sociala behov i den vardagliga verksamheten. Begreppet social innovation kan bidra till att synliggöra och förstärka kyrkans innovativa utveckling av sociala arbetssätt och metoder inom och mellan organisations- och sektorsgränser. Det kan därigenom bidra till att förtydliga kyrkans förändrade roll i samhället, exempelvis vad gäller dess bidrag till lokal och regional utveckling. Vi vill här beskriva den satsning som forskningsenheten inlett på att kartlägga och analysera social innovation i Svenska kyrkans nutida och historiska verksamheter.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social innovation – referring to the development and implementation of new social practicesto improve the quality of life, well-being, relations and empowerment of individualsand communities – shares similarities with the diaconal work performed as part of Christiansocial practices and the welfare services provided by Christian communities and parishes.Based on the results from a study of innovative social practices in the Church of Sweden,this article scrutinizes the character of a selection of historical and contemporary examplesof social innovation in the Church, in order to further develop the knowledge of how to developnew forms of diaconal work related to welfare services as the societal context changes.By pinpointing the content, process, empowerment, innovation and normativity of socialinnovation, the analysis highlights pivotal components in the transition from social exclusionto social inclusion in the Church’s specific settings.

Behavioural implications of employee-driven innovation : a critical discourse analysis
- 2018
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Innovation Management. - Singapore : World Scientific. - 1363-9196 .- 1757-5877. ; 22:7
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines a digital employee-oriented innovation program at a global IT-firm. It addresses the research question: how is the generation and promotion of employee ideas organised by the management, and what are the behavioural implications in terms of participation of such an organising? Drawing on the literature on inclusive innovation and employee-driven innovation, the authors explore the extent to which ordinary employees are included in innovative processes at work. The critical discourse analysis of written and spoken text exposes inclusiveness concerning the managements’ production and distribution of innovation discourse in the initial phases of the program. However, the analysis simultaneously reveals considerable excluding elements in the ordinary employees’ consumption of this discourse in its latter phases, particularly regarding the parallel discourses “we are all innovators” and “the single winning entrepreneur”.

Gender mainstreaming in EU's promotion of innovation and clusters
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we elaborate a gendered perspective on entrepreneurship, technology and innovation as implemented in European Union policies promoting innovation and clusters. In this endeavour, we employ Squire's (2005), Walby's (2005) and Rees' (2005) classifications of different kinds of gender mainstreaming. Our study comprises the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which provides resources for regions throughout the Union. During the period 2007-2013 priority is given to measures promoting entrepreneurship, development of small and medium-sized enterprises, innovation and clusters. Gender mainstreaming is perceived as a key element in the implementation of ERDF. However, evaluations carried out between 2000-2006 show that there are several obstacles for the integration of a gender perspective in ERDF, e.g. that concepts such as entrepreneurship, innovation, technology and clusters are perceived of as gender neutral and that a gender perspective is not applied when promoting innovation and clusters. Our study investigates how gender mainstreaming is approached in the Operational Programmes (OP) for the period 2007-2013 within the framework of the European Territorial Cooperation Objective supported by the ERDF. Ten of in total 13 programmes supporting transnational cooperation between different European regions are analysed in a gender perspective. The study shows that most OPs lack gender SWOT-analyses and/or an integration of a gender perspective in the overall SWOT analysis for the territorial cooperation areas. Few make any references linking gender equality to economic growth, entrepreneurship, innovation or clusters. Positive actions for women in entrepreneurship, innovation and technology are rare. Gender equality is referred to as a horizontal objective and in relation to non-discrimination, but it is not mentioned in relation to specific objectives and measures. In theory, most of the programmes are open to initiatives supporting entrepreneurship, innovation and clusters in sectors where many women are active, such as for example tourism. But underlying assumptions of innovation and clusters, as well as an extensive focus on high-tech sectors, in practice constitute obstacles for women's participation and potential benefits of the ERDF.
