The Innovating Self: Exploring Self Among a Group of Technological Innovators
- 2002
-
Ingår i: Journal of Managerial Psychology. ; 17:4, s. 267-286
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the relevance of the concept of self in the process of independent technological innovation. In-depth interviews were conducted with technological innovators from start-up firms in IT, biotech and advanced services concerning the subjective and social forms of engagement in the innovation process. Emerging factors in the interview data revealed aspects pertaining to the innovator’s reflexive self-conception, innovator ego-involvement in the venture, forms of commitment and control, personal and social stakes, and various self-oriented cognitive strategies. It is argued that the self-concept allows the innovator to come into view as a social and subjective being who is involved in reflexive activities such as dynamic role-taking, ``is’’ vs ``ought’’ reflections and social negotiations.

- Project funding rarely demands much change on behalf of the recipient. In contrast, cross-sectoral mobility funding requires recipients to change their environment and often some aspects of their research. There is a need to understand the impact on the researchers' experiences as knowledge producers within such programs, as part of the broader potential and significance of cross-sectoral mobility funding. This study draws on interviews with participants of the Swedish 'Flexit' program in order to develop a framework for assessing the dynamics and efficacy of such funding instruments. To do this, we develop a framework for understanding their cognitive effects; especially their 'immersive' potential, i.e., their ability to naturally involve the participant in their new setting. It proposes two dimensions along which such an assessment can take place: how the instrument challenges participants' knowledge production practices, and the level of immersion that participants are subject to as part of the program.

Achieving impact: impact evaluations and narrative simplification
- 2017

- This study is concerned with how impact from research and innovation (R&I) programmes is accounted for in impact evaluation reports. Establishing causal links between a research funding instrument and different effects, poses well known methodological difficulties. In the light of such challenges, textual accounts about causal links ought to be carefully written. Nevertheless, impact evaluation reports have a tendency towards unwarranted simplification as far as impact inferences are concerned. In this study, we illustrate how such simplifications – versions of the narrative device ellipsis – are accomplished. Using examples from three Swedish impact evaluation reports, we focus on the constituent components of longer impact accounts, that of the impact argument, to analyze the various ways that impact is narratively achieved through simplification. We believe this analysis can contribute to the methodology of impact evaluation, as well as spread light on some the difficulties in the historiography of innovation in general.

Inventering av fisk vid Gåsefjärden i Karlskrona skärgård med nätprovfiske och eDNA
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- På uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Blekinge län har AquaBiota Water Research tillsammans med AERC genomfört nätprovfiske med kustöversiktsnät samt provtagning och analys av eDNA med syfte att kartlägga fisksamhället i området kring Gåsefjärden i Karlskrona skärgård.Totalt inventerades 45 stationer med nätprovfiske och 17 med eDNA, varav 16 stationer var gemensamma för båda metodikerna. Sammantaget visar inventeringarna att fisksamhället i området karaktäriseras av ett högt inslag av sötvattensfiskar, framförallt abborre och mört men i de yttre delarna är det marina inslaget tydligare med förekomst av arter som sill, skarpsill och torsk. Andel av rovfisk var relativt låg för båda metoderna Det kan indikera både dålig återväxt av rovfiskar och högt fisketryck. Totalt identifierades 30 fiskarter i det provtagna området, varav 21 arter och 3336 individer fångades med nätprovfiske. Vid de 16 stationerna där båda metodikerna användes tillsammans detekterades 16 arter med nätprovfiske och 24 arter med eDNA (samt ytterligare två artpar, ett artkomplex och två arter som saknar referenssekvens). Totalt identifierades 3 rödlistade fiskarter i hela området: ål (akut hotad), torsk (sårbar) och vimma (nära hotad).De arter som enbart detekterades med eDNA är arter som mera sällan fångas vid nätprovfisken såsom storspigg, gädda, ål och simpor. Enbart en tånglakeindivid fångades i provfisket, arten detekterades även med eDNA. Information om längd och åldersanalys från nätprovfisket visade att inga årsyngel av abborre förekom i området, vilket kan tyda på en sämre lokal reproduktionsframgång 2019.Nätprovfiske och eDNA kompletterar varandra på ett bra sätt där metoderna bidrar med olika information. Resultaten för relativ förekomst av de vanligaste medelstora arterna (mört och abborre) har en god överensstämmelse mellan metoderna. eDNA är att föredra då fiskarters förekomst i ett område är av intresse då det är fördelaktigare ur kostnadssynpunkt samt bevarandeetiska skäl. Nätprovfiske är att föredra då information om arternas fångst per nät och natt i abundans och biomassa samt längdfördelning och tillväxt är av intresse.

Carnivore conservation in practice : replicatedmanagement actions on a large spatial scale
- 2013

Ingår i: Journal of Applied Ecology. - : Wiley. - 0021-8901 .- 1365-2664. ; 50:1, s. 59-67

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- More than a quarter of the world’s carnivores are threatened, often due to multiple andcomplex causes. Considerable research efforts are devoted to resolving the mechanisms behindthese threats in order to provide a basis for relevant conservation actions. However, evenwhen the underlying mechanisms are known, specific actions aimed at direct support for carnivoresare difficult to implement and evaluate at efficient spatial and temporal scales.2. We report on a 30-year inventory of the critically endangered Fennoscandian arctic foxVulpes lagopus L., including yearly surveys of 600 fox dens covering 21 000 km2. These surveysshowed that the population was close to extinction in 2000, with 40–60 adult animalsleft. However, the population subsequently showed a fourfold increase in size.3. During this time period, conservation actions through supplementary feeding and predatorremoval were implemented in several regions across Scandinavia, encompassing 79% of thearea. To evaluate these actions, we examined the effect of supplemental winter feeding andred fox control applied at different intensities in 10 regions. A path analysis indicated that47% of the explained variation in population productivity could be attributed to lemmingabundance, whereas winter feeding had a 29% effect and red fox control a 20% effect.4. This confirms that arctic foxes are highly dependent on lemming population fluctuationsbut also shows that red foxes severely impact the viability of arctic foxes. This study also highlightsthe importance of implementing conservation actions on extensive spatial and temporalscales, with geographically dispersed actions to scientifically evaluate the effects. We note thatpopulation recovery was only seen in regions with a high intensity of management actions.5. Synthesis and applications. The present study demonstrates that carnivore populationdeclines may be reversed through extensive actions that target specific threats. Fennoscandianarctic fox is still endangered, due to low population connectivity and expected climate impactson the distribution and dynamics of lemmings and red foxes. Climate warming is expected tocontribute to both more irregular lemming dynamics and red fox appearance in tundra areas;however, the effects of climate change can be mitigated through intensive managementactions such as supplemental feeding and red fox control.

Enacting Risk in Independent Technological Innovation
- 2002

Ingår i: International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management. ; 3:2/3/4, s. 205-221
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present study aims at investigating the role of risk in the activity of independent technological venturing. Altogether 12 deep-interviews were conducted with technological entrepreneurs, who had taken part in the inventive, developmental and the commercialisation phases of a technologybased innovation process. The interviews revealed a number of enactment approaches through which these innovators encountered and affected (dealt with or transformed) risk within the innovation process. Factors thus developed from the empirical material included: human capital, pace and priority, the world moves, activating social networks, risk learning, risk incrementalism, maintaining venture agility, and creating and sustaining autonomy. The paper presents a theoretical contextualisation as to the significance of these factors, and finally suggests a number of ways in which these may be interpreted for the benefit of innovation management.

Entrepreneurial Learning and the Role of Venture Capitalists
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Venture Capital: An International Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance. ; 9:3, s. 165-181
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper develops a model of entrepreneurial learning in order to explain how VCs support the process of entrepreneurial learning and thereby add value to their ventures. We draw on two generic approaches to learning, termed the hypothesis-testing mode and the hermeneutic mode, which turn out to be closely interrelated in such learning processes. The resulting model comprises four categories, which focus on what entrepreneurs learn and how it is learnt: experimentation, evaluation, unreflective action and unverified assumptions. We then use these analytical categories to illustrate how VCs apply their different forms of expertise to increase a venture’s value once an investment has been made.
