Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Whether creativity is needed for the development of new products and services or for the creation of new jobs (Eliasson, 2006), it is stressed as a prerequisite for innovation and entrepreneurship (Johansson, 2010). Creativity is considered important for coping with the upcoming need to make full use of ecological and social resources. Taking Buber‘s view on creativity as a point of departure we propose that a post-industrial society should reconsider the view of creativity as something that is possessed by a person. With a Buberian understanding of creativity we aim to suggest in this chapter, a new agenda for research on creativity and for stimulating creativity in unexpected ways in industrial renewal processes.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Environmental business is defined by having environmental issues as key drivers for productdevelopment, production development and marketing. Environmental technology and cleantech are commonly accepted as being green businesses as these sectors deliver environmentally preferable products and services. The companies within these sectors deliver solutions that contribute to improving the environmental performance of their customers and to enhance the competitiveness of clients sectors and the economy as a whole (OECD, 2010). However, companies in these sectors may not necessarily set and implement environmental goals for their own activities and manufacturing processes. There are three main possible motivations for environmental technology companies to operate as ‘green-green’ businesses: i.e. to manufacture their environmentally superior products in an environmentally friendly manner: i) ‘competitive advantage’, ii) ‘environmental responsibility’ and iii) ‘environmental leadership.

- Society changes makes new demands on internal services and functions that can help various decision makers and others to not only make informed decisions but also coordinate the decisions and actions taken with the rest of the organization. In knowledge based companies this demand expands the managerial dimension of a firm to other people and processes, so that the knowledge developed and applied is informed and coordinated. These types of assignments are now given to intelligence services and intelligence personnel inside business organizations, with their tradition of monitoring and analysing the environment, and constitute new vistas for organized intelligence work (Hoppe, 2009). In this paper I use Burkes pentad to give an account of some important challenges encountered by intelligence personnel in modern business organizations due to the on-going industrial renewal and an increasing dependence on different knowledge processes. With the support from five different cases I claim that:The intelligence mission has changed from being a passive information service working on the command of high-ranking decision makers to an active internal agent for better business.Hierarchical position does not determine where intelligence is to be found. Instead the deployment of intelligence work comes from dispersed needs displayed in each unique subpart of an organization.Intelligence work moves away from the creation of intelligence artefacts to the creation of analytical conversations and the advocacy of distinct reference points in these conversations.Intelligence is personalized in two dimensions, firstly the analyst comes forth as an individual agent with a personal network, and secondly the intelligence produced is adapted to the individuals and the specific situation at hand.
