- We have designed and implemented a Computer Aided Personal Interview (CAPI) system that learns from expert interviews and can support less experienced interviewers by for example suggesting questions to ask or skip. We were particularly interested to streamline the due diligence process when estimating the value for software startups. For our design we evaluated some machine learning algorithms and their trade-offs, and in a small case study we evaluates their implementation and performance. We find that while there is room for improvement, the system can learn and recommend questions. The CAPI system can in principle be applied to any domain in which long interview sessions should be shortened without sacrificing the quality of the assessment.

- The pace of changes in the business environment in which a modern enterprise operates requires the enterprise to constantly review its business models in order to survive and prosper in the dynamic world. This exploratory study investigates how to help the enterprise to innovate their business models based on the concepts of fractal enterprise model and transformational patterns. The paper suggests an approach to Business Model Innovation (BMI) where the focus is on transformational patterns. It discusses the structure of such patterns, and based on examples, it presents an approach on how such patterns can be derived from cases of completed business transformations.

- In an ever-increasing competitive business environment, it has become increasingly important to be able to obtain efficient and sustainable business operations not only by efficient core procedures but also by being able to minimise losses incurred by risk taking. The latter by handling both operational risks and financial risks in a unified model. This is important not least in businesses that handle sets of simultaneous large projects, which is the topic of risk handling in project portfolios. In this paper, we present a novel method for business risk handling for project portfolios under strong uncertainty. The method is based on event trees representing each adverse consequence modelled, together with mitigation costs and effects. The aggregation of all consequences for all projects together constitutes the risk portfolio for the business. This method is used in one of Sweden’s largest manufacturing enterprises having a vast portfolio of projects in the form of ongoing tenders for orders.

Teaching Business Process Development through Experience-Based Learning and Agile Principle

- Business process development is a challenging and important task in organizations that enables performing operations more effectively and efficiently. Traditionally, business processes have been developed through waterfall approaches which are described by different business process management life-cycles. Such development requires a lot of time that is one of the barriers to applying business process management in practice. Teaching business process development in the traditional way is also a challenge in education due to the long-running cycle to develop a business process. In this paper, we propose a new approach to teach business process development through experience-based learning and agile principle. The approach is implemented in an advanced course on business process management where students developed a real public business process in an agile way. The study shows that agile business process development not only enables students to automate the business process but also enhance their understanding of business process management.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ongoing process of digital transformation in manufacturing – known as Industry 4.0 - hauls fundamental change. The whole value chain of enterprises is affected. As the digital transformation of businesses is still ongoing, many enterprises struggle with the challenges arising. This paper aims to show these struggles but also to contribute by analyzing how enterprises are transforming. We take a phenomenological view of the ongoing transformation. To get in-depth insights, we conducted and analyzed 18 interviews with 10 companies. For most companies, the digital transformation starts in operations with the vision of building a smart factory. Other primary and support activities also need to transform. These essential changes lead to restructuring and extensions of the strategy of manufacturing companies. Following these changes, companies will not need to choose either cost advantage or differentiation as a strategy but instead can do both.
