- This paper examines new approaches that large firms are using to become more ambidextrous—more able to “explore” and innovate for the future while they “exploit” current lines of business. It presents and compares three different models for boosting innovation by partnering with external actors: GE Appliances’ FirstBuild unit for new-product development, the Open Innovation function at Electrolux, and Lantmännen’s Greenhouse corporate accelerator program. The models are earlystage but have started generating product and business-model innovations, planting seeds of cultural change in the parent firms, and building external ecosystems with partners that range from startup companies to individual developers and makers.

- Premise Climate change is having major impacts on alpine and arctic regions, and inter-annual variations in temperature are likely to increase. How increased climate variability will impact plant reproduction is unclear. Methods In a 4-year study on fruit production by an alpine plant community in northern Sweden, we applied three warming regimes: (1) a static level of warming with open-top chambers (OTC), (2) press warming, a yearly stepwise increase in warming, and (3) pulse warming, a single-year pulse event of higher warming. We analyzed the relationship between fruit production and monthly temperatures during the budding period, fruiting period, and whole fruit production period and the effect of winter and summer precipitation on fruit production. Results Year and treatment had a significant effect on total fruit production by evergreen shrubs, Cassiope tetragona, and Dryas octopetala, with large variations between treatments and years. Year, but not treatment, had a significant effect on deciduous shrubs and graminoids, both of which increased fruit production over the 4 years, while forbs were negatively affected by the press warming, but not by year. Fruit production was influenced by ambient temperature during the previous-year budding period, current-year fruiting period, and whole fruit production period. Minimum and average temperatures were more important than maximum temperature. In general, fruit production was negatively correlated with increased precipitation. Conclusions These results indicate that predicted increased climate variability and increased precipitation due to climate change may affect plant reproductive output and long-term community dynamics in alpine meadow communities.

Corporate-startup Co-creation for Increased Innovation and Societal Change
- 2020

Ingår i: Triple Helix. - : Brill. - 2197-1927 .- 2590-0366. ; 7:2-3, s. 227-249

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The emphasis on corporate-startup collaboration has reached a new level in the context of digital transformation of most industries. Co-creation, as one non-equity based model for corporate-startup collaboration is increasingly getting attention among corporations and startups, but also among local governments. However, even if companies, governments, and startups invest in this approach for innovation and societal change, the concept is under-researched. The purpose of this paper is to further examine corporate-startup co-creation by conducting a systematic literature review, as well as present a real case 'FirstBuild'. The findings were that co-creation as a corporate-startup collaboration model increases in attention. However, there is currently a large knowledge gap in previous research in regards to this phenomenon and more research on corporate-startup co-creation is needed, specifically in regards to metrics and its effects on corporate innovation, startups' growth, and society.

Organizational innovation: a comprehensive model for catalyzing organizational development and change in a rapidly changing world
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Triple Helix. - : Brill. - 2197-1927. ; 2:1, s. 1-25

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research has found that organizational innovations are important for organizations’ long-term competitive advantage and for technical innovations. In spite of this conclusion, organizational innovations remain poorly managed and poorly understood, especially the processes through which organizational innovations are created, diffused, and sustained. There is thus a need for a more comprehensive understanding of mechanisms catalyzing organizational development and change. The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive model for studying andbetter understanding the creation, diffusion, and sustaining of organizational innovations by using a system perspective. The three concepts “creation,” “diffusion,”and “sustaining” are highly intertwined and should not be explored in isolation, as organizational innovations are constantly being re-invented.The model for catalyzing organizational development and change could be visualized as five steps that form a circular pattern around an organizational-specific and pathdependent improvement trajectory rather than a single organizational innovation. The five steps are influenced by the external context, the internal environment, and thecharacteristics of the innovation itself. Further, different diffusion channels such as consultants, universities, and standardization forums function as mechanisms for knowledge transfer and triggering one or several of the five steps. The model is developed based on two literature reviews conducted over a 14-year period andfindings from two empirical studies covering four Swedish manufacturing firms and one hospital.The model proposed here has already been used in practice in a study for the Swedish Innovation Agency VINNOVA. Likewise the model proved to be useful in analyzing bothsimilarities and differences between different national programs for catalyzing organizational development. This comprehensive model, we suggest, has a wider and more general use and is applicable across the Triple Helix model.

Organizational innovation: verifying a comprehensive model for catalyzing organizational development and change

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a rapidly transforming global marketplace, organizations need to make effective use of organizational innovations in order to remain competitive. Previous research has identified a need for a more comprehensive framework that will aid in better understanding of the mechanisms catalyzing organizational development and change. Steiber and Alänge (Triple Helix 2(9):1–25, 2015) presented such a comprehensive model for organizational innovations based on literature reviews and two empirical studies of the organizational innovations of Total Quality Management, Lean Production, and the Toyota Production System. All of these draw heavily on the experiences of Toyota in Japan and are known for their focus on continuous improvement of quality and efficiency.This paper investigates whether this model can be applied to different categories of organizational innovations developed in different institutional environments. It is therefore tested on the “Google Innovation System” (GIS), developed in California’s Silicon Valley, which is here viewed as a contrasting organizational innovation focused on continual innovation.The model is shown to be applicable to analyze the Google Innovation System organizational innovation. This paper therefore verifies a comprehensive model for the creation, diffusion, and sustaining of organizational innovations. The findings extend current theory on organizational innovations and provide insights for practitioners in innovation-intensive environments.

Methods of Causal Analysis with ILSA Data
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International handbook of comparative large-scale studies in education: Perspectives, Methods and Findings. - Cham, Switzerland : Springer. - 2197-1951 .- 2197-196X. - 9783030881771 ; , s. 803-830

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One main aim of ILSAs (International Large Scale Assessments) is to develop an empirically based foundation of knowledge for improvement of educational policy and practice. Ideally such knowledge is expressed in causal terms, with statements on what consequences will follow if certain changes are introduced in the educational system. However, such ambitions often seem unrealistic when analyzing ILSA data, because the cross-sectional design of these studies typically only allows investigation of correlations among variables, and correlation must not be confused with causation. In the first part of the chapter it is clarified why the distinction between correlation and causation is essential, and the reasons why it is generally impossible to answer causal questions through analyses of associations among observed variables are made explicit. Examples are also given of consequences of disregarding the correlational nature of ILSA data. However, within different disciplinary fields alternative techniques have been developed, which under certain assumptions allow causal inferences to be made from nonexperimental data. Some examples of such techniques are instrumental variable regression, regression discontinuity design, regression with fixed effects, and propensity scoring matching. In the second part of the chapter the basic ideas of some of these analytical approaches are presented and their use is illustrated with data from different ILSAs. In the third part of the chapter possibilities and limits of causal inference based on ILSA data are discussed.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A large body of knowledge and competence has accumulated since the first international large-scale assessment (ILSA) was implemented in the 1960s. Moreover, ILSA inspired numerous valuable debates about education, policy, assessment, and measurement over this period. Since the first ILSA, the number of publications using ILSA data for research has increased near exponentially. Given the important role of the ILSAs for education, policy, practice, and research, there is a need to synthesize all this knowledge. This handbook synthesizes the knowledge that has emerged from the ILSAs, the debates on ILSAs, theories underlying the ILSAs, historical and political perspectives, the methodology pertaining to ILSAs, and the findings from the studies using ILSA data. The present chapter introduces the handbook, and describes its aims, themes, underlying theories, and perspectives. Furthermore, the chapter positions the handbook into the existing literature and describes the targeted audience.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The handbook provides extensive and comprehensive overview of theories, methods, and results from ILSA presented by excellent authors from the field of educational research and beyond. The discussion chapter aims at adding to this by providing a synthesis of the discussed topics as well as our perspectives on directions in which possible future developments could move. We hope to contribute by compiling the views and experiences of the chapters’ authors to portray a comprehensive illustration of the scientific landscape. The chapter follows roughly the structure of the handbook, focusing first on theoretical aspects followed by methodological considerations and closing with reflections on findings from ILSAs.
