Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Haunted by Shadows of the Future: ARTEFACTS identifierar föremål från slutet av1960-talet till slutet av 1970-talet som har ett personligt eller familjärt samband medmänniskorna och samhället under denna tid, och som innefattar en särskild känslaav tillhörighet, en önskan att vara en del av det moderna svenska samhälle som togform vid den tiden. Resultatet av detta kollektiva sökande är en samling artefakter,företeelser och föremål i hemmet, sammanflätade med rika personliga berättelser ochupptäckter. Dessa inbegriper en försäkringsförsäljares portfölj, en rullbandspelaresom fångade ett populärt radioprogram med en pratshow, en inspelning med enlandsflyktig somalisk författare, tidiga exemplar av plastleksaker, diabilder frånsemestrar, vykortssamlingar och super 8 filmer, textiltryck med popmönster ochmönster för klädesplagg, lokala grönplanteringar, en affärskedjas lansering av ettanti-varumärke, den revolutionerande ”du”-reformen, och andra samtida referenser,som ett svenskt kvinnomanifest och en populär oljevärmare från Iran. Stadsmuseetsvisningslägenhet i Tensta på Kämpingebacken 13, tjänar här som en tidskapsel somöppnar en hel värld bakom dessa YTTERST vardagliga föremål.

Coopetition in a public/private context : A study of drivers, dynamics and outcomes in value-creation
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Significant competitive challenges are facing firms situated in sparsely populated, geographically remote regions where local markets have a limited scope, transportation costs are high and the customer base is too small. Forming collaborative networks among a coalition of service providers has been suggested as way to meet these problems as these may be able to develop competitive offerings (Pesämaa & Hair, 2008: Rusko, 2014), create and give access to other capabilities based on exploitation of the existing ones (Gnyawali & Park, 2011), but also give access and opportunity to create a common “bigger business pie” while competing when dividing it (Brandenburger & Nalebuff, 1995). Over 50% of collaborative relations (alliances) are between firms in the same industry, thus with competitors (Park et al., 2014), a strategy embodying simultaneous cooperation and competition between firms (Bengtsson & Kock, 2000), and the critical needs to create common and private benefits (Khanna et al. 1998: Park et al., 2014).Research on how to handle coopetition in order to create value and avoid tensions is scarce. There has therefore been calls for studies on how firms engage in coopetition (Gnyawali & Park 2011) and to what extent they can benefits from coopetition (Ritala & Tidström, 2014: Park et al., 2014). Furthermore, there are few empirical studies on drivers, dynamics and outcomes of coopetition (Gnyawali & Park, 2011) and studies explaining process related coopetitive interactions (Dahl, 2014), as well as in-depth case studies enhancing the understanding of how collective value creation and value appropriation take place in coopetition including multiple actors (Ritala & Tidström, 2014). Main drivers behind coopetition are argued (Rusko, 2010) to be creation of value in terms of improving the performance of participating companies through “coopetitive moves” – likely driven by relational and firm-level strategic objectives (Ritala & Tidström, 2014). The coopetitive network may also include public actors, initiating and supporting activities in order to promote regional development. In response to the calls for further in-depth, process-related case studies, the aim and contribution of this paper is to study how value creation and growth, in terms of new or enlarged establishments in a specific region, may be created through coopetition in a project network driven by public actors. A qualitative case-study was performed in 2015-2016 focusing a Swedish project network (Mele, 2011) of six actors: two companies: a private research foundation of four companies: two public actors: and a university research center fronting 25 companies within banking, insurance, pensions, accounting and property industries – all cooperating in a regional strategic network (RSN) structure since 2003. The project network aimed at increased employment in the region by addressing the RSN members and others in related industries with establishment proposals. Data was collected through participating observations, from interviews, a survey and grant applications. A multiple-level analysis was applied, focusing drivers, dynamics and outcomes. Relocation of 155 employees was a project network outcome. Knowledge sharing, mutual interaction and commitment were found to promote value-creation as was capability of acting within a coopetitive setting of closely related actors.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to model the impact of structural factors and activities on commitment in a regional strategic network(RSN) context. Design/methodology/approach: A longitudinal case study examines two regional strategic networks acting in different business areas in mid Sweden. Findings: Competition-neutral, social, and personal goals were found to be powerful drivers promoting shared values andcommitment among competitors, whereas business-related goals worked well for complementary firms, providing a more stable basis for networkcommitment. In the RSN with a large number of members, sensitivity to absence was low, but it took longer for members to get to know one another, slowing commitment development. The RSN including members with complementary resources proved a more favorable setting than did the RSN including competitors, and frequent activities that favored social relationship development increased commitment. Research limitations/implications: This study identifies important factors influencing the development of commitment in network contexts, but is limited to two cases. The topic merits further research: other factors need consideration, and the factors discussed here should be evaluated in other contexts. Practical implications: The impact on network commitment of the factors discussed here needs to be considered by RSN initiators and hubs. Originality/value: Few studies treat commitment in RSN contexts. This paper addresses this deficit by identifying structural factors and activities that influence commitmentdevelopment. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
