- Over a sustained period of time, organizational theorists have argued that public sector organizationsare more inefficient than their private counterparts. Recent studies have explained these inefficienciesas the result of having to do with capabilities rather than resources thereby calling for an improvementof the capabilities of public organizations. A key mechanism for achieving such improvements is thearticulation and codification of knowledge. This study examines an attempt at codifying knowledge inthe form of a set of shared construction guidelines (SCG) employed by 24 large public clientorganizations in the Municipality of Gothenburg, Sweden. Specifically, these guidelines are viewedwith respect to the framework of Zollo and Winter (2002) in terms of how organizations with high taskheterogeneity and low task frequency can more effectively develop dynamic capabilities through thedeliberate learning mechanism of knowledge codification. Preliminary results indicate that taskfrequency and organizational size are stronger indicators than heterogeneity in deciding whether apublic client organization utilizes knowledge codification systems such as the SCG.

- This paper makes an exploratory analysis of the diffusion of passive houses in Denmark using transition theory. Strategic niche management and technological innovation system approaches are combined to provide a framework that allows for multiple dynamics i.e. social forces enabling or constraining changes, especially niche developments and the role of legitimacy. The passive house niche analysis shows a slow process, barriers of cost and technology and limited adoption in Denmark; roughly 18 projects over the last six years, and a slow descent over 2011-2012. The concept has early moral legitimacy, but the further development of legitimacy fails as costs and indoor climate makes the cognitive legitimacy contested. The passive house concept competes with other sustainable building niches, they are all small and they appear to have been introduced successively over time. Finally there are a tendency of segmentation of villas, small buildings and office buildings respectively. Sustainable building exhibits a particularly active role for government policymaking, or in transition theory terms “regime internal” dynamics. These combined dynamics between sustainable housing niches, the regime internal dynamic and globalisation as well as EU-regulation are counter to transition theory assumptions dominated by the EU- initiatives. The analysis moreover leads to the view that sustainable housing concepts are only viable in time windows, and that the contribution of the passive house trajectory was a stepping stone towards low carbon housing.Keywords:
