- Motorization in urban areas contributes several problems such as congestion, accidents, gas emissions, noises, and infrastructure breakage. Meanwhile, most of the developing countries cannot overcome such growth activities, as well as in Jakarta. By December 2013, Vice Governor of Jakarta proposes fuel subsidy removal policy as one of sustainable transport policy. This study is intended to understand and investigate how fuel subsidy removal policy scenarios (25%, 50%, and 100%) in Jakarta affects travelers’ behavior and analyze such policy to support sustainable transport by using qualitative research methodology. Interviews and questionnaires survey is conducted to workers in Jakarta, which includes ranking scale question for traveler response options. The result shows that half of the respondents are not affected and will only respond to fuel price increasing at IDR 31,400 for gasoline price and IDR 26,300 for ADO (Auto Diesel Oil). Moreover, there is a tendency of respondent's to the response by changing their travel mode choices into more fuel efficient private vehicle.

Business transformation for a sustainable future
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Interconnecting the concepts of sustainability, innovation and transformation, this book explains how organizations have successfully transformed themselves and wider society to foster a more sustainable future, and identifies the difficulties and challenges along the way. Part of the Principle of Responsible Management Education (PRME) series, the book promotes a strong voice for meeting sustainability challenges for transformative change in a globalized world through business education and practice.A transition to a more sustainable way of doing business can only be attained by combining technology with profound system innovations and lifestyle changes. The chapters in the book, each written by a strong and well-recognized team of researchers in the field, open up the discussion about a new partnership between sustainability, innovation, and transformation that includes the global society (big world), the biosphere (small planet), and also requires a deep mind shift. The book presents cases from business (including Ikea and Eataly) and other service networks including the Base of the Pyramid (BoP), and illustrates how these organizations have transformed themselves for a sustainable future. The research perspectives are macro (policies and legislation), meso (institutional practices) and micro (business practices and individual behavior). This book is where research meets real-world business and societal practice. The chapters are grounded in business research, specifically the interdependencies between sustainability, innovation, and transformation, which makes for a robust basis for describing, explaining, and understanding the complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century.The book is intended for graduate- and postgraduate-level students and executive education with implications for practitioners. Furthermore, it contributes to multidisciplinary research in the field of interaction between business and society with a view to extending the firm-centric view to encompass a broader, systemic, and dynamic understanding of business and societal transformation.

The role of policy integration in influencing sustainable public transportation development : A case study of Changzhou BRT system in China
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to explore the organizational and institutional issues for innovation to co-create value by focusing on the influence of public policy and the implementation mechanism, which contributes to a more sustainable public transport system development. The objective is to explore sustainable public transit innovation and development in the Chinese context and answer the research questions: how sustainability public policy is influencing innovation and what is the role of service innovation in integrating local sustainable public transport development with or without conflict between central and local interests.Methodology/approach: The paper is of explorative nature. It presents different theoretical concepts - (i) Sustainability and sustainable public transit, (ii) Service innovation, and (iii) value creation/co-creation. The paper illustrates these concepts in an in-depth case study of Changzhou Bus Rapid Transit system in China. Critical case study method is employed in this paper to understand the role of policy for integrating sustainability and innovation. The decision-making process of the local transport authorities in Changzhou is assessed and analyzed against the theoretical framework, which explores the joint working practices in public policy sector and its influence in service innovation and sustainable public transit development. Findings: The study outlines the Chinese policy context in terms of responsibilities, powers and resources available to local transport authorizes, and articulates the tools of government that applied to affect a more sustainable public transit system with the goals of improving environment and meet stakeholder demands. Policies are important in the case of China. Policy integration in urban public transit development enhances the public transport services, drives service innovation and influences the environmental and social patterns. Research limitations/implications: The single case-study design of the present research does not enable empirical generalizations to be made. Future research in this area should focus on generalizing the present findings by studying the development and integration of sustainability policy in other empirical settings, could be of different BRT systems in China, and re-conceptualization.Contribution/value: The paper makes an original contribution to the study of sustainable and innovative urban public transit service by explicitly linking the integration of suitability policy and its effect to service innovation and value co-creation based on social and environmental perspectives. The study expands the scope of understanding complex problems and challenges of policy implementation, as well as the potential conflict with the local urban public transit development. It also is contributes to the ongoing discussion in the service research concerning the influence of sustainability towards service innovation and public policy implementation process.

Circular Economy and Beyond : How Sustainable Business Practice Enables Transformation
- 2021
-
Ingår i: 22nd CINET (Continuous Innovation Network) Conference. - Gothenburg.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this conceptual article is to explain how sustainable business practices enable transformation from a circular economy to a circular society. A sustainability business practice, which has a broader mission than just being firm-centric, implies a regenerative, but also a more societal meaning in interaction with transformation and innovation. The article uses multidisciplinary theory to suggest a conceptual model. The explanatory power is shown in an empirical investigation, through a qualitative approach, of three values-based enterprises: IKEA, Löfbergs, and Eataly. These three enterprises use circular thinking and innovation as proactive tools for identifying challenges and developing a transformation agenda in implementing the SDGs. This article contributes to the ongoing discussions on sustainability and service research by focusing on sustainability, innovation, and transformation by explicitly linking the adoption of sustainability to a circular economy using sustainable business-societal practices transformation to give an impact to the society to become more circular. As a conceptual study, the article has also identified previously unexplored connections between sustainability and service research and introduced new constructs on linking the adoption of sustainability to a circular economy. Keywords: circular economy; circular society; sustainability; transformation; service.

Corporate Social Responsibility for Charity or for Service Business?
- 2008
-
Ingår i: The Asian Journal on Quality. - : Emerald. - 1598-2688. ; 9:1, s. 55-67
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Following this introduction, this paper presents two conceptual and theoretical analyses – (i) CSR and its relation to profit and charity (ii) CSR as part of a service business model. The paper then illustrates these concepts using a comparative study of four service firms, with particular emphasis on their different CSR activities and how these affect the mission of each company. All four of the service companies are global actors with strong Service Brands (Edvardsson, Enquist and Hay, 2006) and a leading position in using CSR as a driving force for doing business: IKEA, Starbucks, H&M and the Body Shop. The paper then draws together the conceptual analysis and the case studies in a discussion of how CSR can be a proactive driver in the service business. Because of the limit space for a QMOD paper the focus is on the conceptual and theoretical analysis part and the empirical part and discussion/conclusion has to be further developed.

Public Transport as a dynamic and transformative values based service eco-system for resilient living cities
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- IntroductionTransformative and integrated transport system for living city regions are given a due slant for the societal and ecological perspective in a response for the many demands especially equality and democratization (Peñalosa, 2014), engagement and environment (Newman et al., 2009). Transformative service includes sustainability for providing a rich opportunity for significant and insightful study that repercussions social, collective and individual well-being (Östrom et. al., 2014 and Anderson et al., 2012). Service ecosystems need shared institutions (rules) to function effectively and coordinate activities among actors (Lusch and Vargo, 2014). These institutions, beside, have to cooperate in service ecosystems based on shared values and shared meanings (Edvardsson and Enquist, 2009). Public Transport as a dynamic and transformative values based service eco-system is about the role of governmental agencies and other stakeholders in the network (Enquist and Johnson, 2013) as part of moving from incremental progress towards transformational action for shaping an inclusive and sustainable business (Williams, 2014) for resilient living cities.The main theoretical and empirical challenges are how to understand public transport as dynamic and transformative values based service eco-system for living city regions to develop and implement a feasible and proactive tool for changing the mindset. This paper is of an explorative comparative study based on the public transport value networks in four city regions – Stockholm, London, Paris, and Singapore.Empirical and Theoretical Framework In this study, we see public transport as a transformative way, which is used as a tool for proactive developing of city regions for living cities (Kallidaikurichi and Yuen, 2010). These cities are in transition for a transformative change (Grin et. al. 2010): dynamic city networks, which learn and innovate (Campell, 2012), resilient infrastructure cities (Newman, 2010) including seven elements of a vision for more resilient transport (Newman et al, 2009) and cities as a world of mobile lives (Elliott and Urry, 2010). This is from transformative service perspective, which is conceptualizes the relationship between service entities and consumer wellbeing to serve as a catalyst for future research focusing on the transformative impact on services on consumers (Anderson et al., 2013). There, we also address Jan Gehl’s thoughts on “cities for people” in which public transport, cycling and walking are keys for a sustainable and vibrant city. He indicates that “The compact city – with development grouped around public transport, walking and cycling - is built around public transport, walking and cycling - is the only environmentally sustainable form of city. However, for population densities to increase and widespread walking and cycling, a city must increase quantity and quality of well-planned beautiful urban spaces that are human in scale, sustainable, healthy, safe and lively certainly alive (Gehl, 2010, p. IX). In this paper, we see public transport as a service eco-system (Lusch and Vargo, 2014) used as a tool for proactive developing of city regions for living cities (Kallidaikurichi and Yuen, 2010).Today, Public Transport (PT) is built upon transformative way of thinking something more than operand resources (Lush and Vargo, 2014) too, which was used to be implied in a production oriented way (ibid.). We illustrate this understanding with a statement from Boris Johnson, Mayor of London. We can think of small cities that are lovely to live in – tranquil and green and blessed with efficient public transport. And then we can think of big cities that are global economic powerhouses – teeming with the noise, energy and ambition of million people. I want London to have the best of both worlds. In our study, these city regions, today, have big challenges to transform for a resilient and living city. Here are some examples of the four city regions from our current research:Stockholm: Shifting the focus from vehicles to human beings: The big challenge for the region is space incrusted with congestion problems in a rapid growing population; Capacity problems in railway infrastructure; Lack of dedicated roads for busses. Public transport in Stockholm County should be easily accessible, reliable and environmentally friendly. The City´s Vision for 2030 describes what it will be like to live in, work in and visit Stockholm. London: From 2011 to 2021 London’s population will have risen by a million. Need of an even better transport links to move people across the city to their jobs and homes. Future prosperity depends on a transport system that can support that huge population growth.Paris: Like many European cities, has a strong transit system and a walkable central area, but over recent decades it has given over more and more space to the car. Now in a bid to reclaim its public spaces it is implementing a series of policies to reduce the number of cars in the city. The master plan for 2030 focus on developing an attractive metropolis at the same time as handling societal, environmental and economic challenges for the region.Singapore: Changing commuter expectations and norms: Public tells that they will connected to more places and get them faster and more comfortable. Increasingly people are also voicing concerns about the impact of the transport system on the environment, whether it is noise pollution or carbon emissions, or impact on greenery and recreational place.In this article Public Transit Service is seen as an Eco-system for transforming a larger and even more complex Eco-system: a whole city region. However, it has to face the challenges emerged during this process, which we call it “Transformative challenges”. Transformative challenges are embedded in the vision of these city religions and are concentrated on Social, environmental, mobility and resilience challenges of each city region.Resilient Cities need to last and respond on crisis for change and build upon consensus around cooperation and partnership (Newman et al., 2009) The opposite is city build upon fear which make decisions based on short-term responses and the only driving force is competition (ibid.) The challenge is to breaking the norm of using cars in the city (Hajer et al, 2012; Gärling et al, 2013) and to find an alternative discourse for a resilient living city.Lusch and Vargo (2014) give a lecture of strategic thinking of an eco-system from the lens of SD-logic zooming in and zooming out for seeing the bigger picture (micro, meso, macro) and designing for density and relationship (ibid. p.180 ff.). Lush and Vargo address this in a conceptual way but it doesn´t say so much what that mean in a real context. Lusch and Vargo (2014) focus on operant resources that are capable to acting with other resources (ibid. p. 181).Developing a resilient and living city has a counter effect on sustainable development. The emergence of greening, especially “climate change” is one of the lead way developments in transport sector, which provides the input to deal with the transformation process of integrating sustainability into new infrastructural changes. Public Transport as a dynamic system is vital to the role of cities, governmental agencies and other stakeholders in the network towards creating a transformational action for shaping inclusive and resilient living cities.ReferencesAnderson L., Ostrom, A.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose The aim of this article is to provide a deeper conceptual understanding of the interdependence between service innovation, sustainability and quality in the age of accelerations in the context of cities. The research question is, how can service innovation, sustainability and quality interact in cities to meet the challenges of technology, globalization and climate change? Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a qualitative research approach and cases study research method in the context of cities. In this article, meeting the challenges in the age of accelerations is analyzed and interpreted in an abductive process in an interaction between empirical findings of three progressive cities Freiburg, Malmo and Gothenburg and the conceptual and theoretical frame for getting a new meaning. Findings The article demonstrates the need for a deeper conceptual understanding of the interdependence of service innovation, sustainability and quality in the age of accelerations. Service innovation and quality improvement cannot be handled as a standalone managerial activity because these processes are part of values-based learning and developing a loop for transformation, value co-creation and sustainability practice. Research limitations/implications Future research in this area should focus on generalizing the present findings to securing sustainable service business embedded on social and environmental perspectives and governance issues in other empirical settings and conceptualization. Societal implications The article looks into the idea of an ecosystem to achieve a balance between nature and people: Dynamic and complex ecosystems can be illustrated in different contexts to ensure a strong commitment to societal and environmental perspectives to create value and develop a sustainability practice. Originality/value The article makes an original contribution by using insights from service research, quality movement research and from studying actual sustainability practices in the real-life contexts of cities by developing a conceptual paper.

- A transformation that takes place in complex environments demands the engagement of different types of stakeholders from different organizations and domains, which impact the whole service management that integrates both the organization and the customer. Service management is not only for micro and meso processes. It need also to meet global challenges of complexity and wicked problems. In this chapter, we go back to the roots of service management with a societal aspect; to serve someone with the insight that business and ethics are intertwined and cannot be separated. The main focus is to highlight on using service management for going from firm-centric to a broader sustainable stakeholder view, and societal perspective for business societal transformation.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The term “sustainability” has become a commonly used and widely accepted term in both an ecological sense and a business sense. In this chapter, sustainability is seen as part of something bigger and can be seen as an ecosystem. The objective is to understand and assess how service and quality research can be used to meet transformative societal practice in city contexts to build city ecosystem frameworks. The main purpose is to develop and conceptualize in an explorative way a multilevel ecosystem for societal practice in the city context. The multilevel ecosystem for societal practice can be used for challenge-driven transformative change where sustainability, in the light of 2030 Agenda Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs), will get a more regenerative and societal meaning in interaction with transformation and innovation. The suggested multilevel ecosystem model addresses the interaction between the three levels (macro, meso, and micro) and the interdependence of the systemic, institutional, and processes. The model highlights that it is about a real transformative change process and not about SDG-washing. To reflect on the multilevel ecosystem for societal practice in city contexts in the light of 2030 Agenda SDGs, a case study of the ongoing process of Karlstad City’s transformation is developed. The suggested model will not make any transformative change without a proactive method to make a real mind shift or a paradigm shift. The chapter contributes the idea of building a lab platform for orchestrating innovation and transformation, to further develop ideas, create interaction and dialogues, and integrate and allocate resources to achieve a more radical change process and be aware that the devil is in the implementation process.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter, we discuss innovative and sustainable transformation and what can be learned from sustainability challenges acting as a driving force to create a new business landscape for the future. The main purpose of this chapter is to develop and conceptualize in an explorative way a values-based sustainability practice in a business context embedded in “circular economy” thinking, which can be used for challenge-driven transformative change. The business context is that of IKEA, being a values-based global enterprise, and its vision-driven transformative change process of its entire business concept guided by a dynamic transforming culture and values where great importance is placed on sustainability thinking. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) now underpin IKEA’s business and are used as a compass to mobilize change.

- 2015
-
Ingår i: Journal of service theory and practice. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 2055-6225 .- 2055-6233. ; 25:2, s. 181-197

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper understanding of transcendence as business logic and to advance value co-creation and value network thinking. The authors are looking for business logic to have wider understanding of sustainable business. Understanding how value is “networked” and “co-created” by what the authors will call “transcendent business logic” in specific contextual settings is deemed essential in securing sustainable business, which social and environmental perspectives and governance issues are embedded. The authors lay the foundation for enriching the transcendence for business logics for a sustainable business based on sustainability, stakeholder-unifying perspective and value creation network theories. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopts a qualitative approach, using multiple case studies to undertake an analysis of the role of transcendence for business logics. Four case studies of private companies and parallel case studies of retail, health care and public organizations (regional public transport networks) are applied. The paper further asses a methodological approach goes beyond the positivistic paradigm in service research to understand the texts and analyze the research materials. This section presents the methodological approach based on transcendence beyond objectivism and relativism and the transformation process of transcendence business logic. Findings – The paper demonstrates that “different business logics” contributes to securing sustainable business embedded on social and environmental perspectives on governance issues. The authors have shown this based on the idea of transcendence, which can be used from a methodological point of view based on a deeper understanding beyond objectivism and relativism. The authors argued in this paper for a methodological path beyond functionalism. The authors are providing a deeper understanding of the business logic; co-creating value for people and developing sustainability for society. The study has also shown that values form the network, and co-creation is the basis for transcending the business logics. Originality/value – The paper makes original contribution to the exploring transcendence for business logics to be in lieu of guiding open source business models based on the need for understanding of the new logic in the new complex landscape. In service research, the main theoretical challenges of understand and integrating value co-creation and value networks to secure sustainable businesses are founded on the principles of steering and navigation. In this study the authors addressed the need for advancement of value co-creation network thinking and perusal for the business logic to have a wider understanding of sustainable business.

Values based governance and service innovation for facilitating sustainable public transport value network : the importance of the interlink between public governance, CSR, contractual governance and business model
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Osborne (2010) has argued for New Public Governance as a significant paradigm for public services delivery, embracing policy-making and a range of inter-organizational and networked-based modes for public services delivery (ibid. p. 413). This thinking is an alternative to Public Administration or New Public Management, which the idea for “Public Governance and public service delivery: as a research agenda for the future” (Osborne, 2010). The indication of policy-making as a governance issue and co-production, co-creation for service delivery combine the public governance literature with the service literature. We agree with this and will take this a step further and argue for interlink between public governance, CSR, contractual governance and business model guided by a service business logic (Lusch and Vargo, 2014). Those concepts are contextually interlinked. In this article the specific public service context is “public transport value network” (Enquist et al, 2011). In that context the contractual governance is crucial guided by service business logic.In this article we will use examples of “Public transport value networks” from the city-regions of Stockholm, London and Paris to illustrate our conceptual framework. All of those city-regions have to handle economic, social and environmental issues as societal challenges. The societal challenges in those city-regions are driven by proactive policy-making and facilitating of resources for change. Service innovation is an important tool for change (Lusch and Vargo, 2014) but for societal issues the influence of CSR –practice and sustainable development has to be included as part of the service innovation processes (Edvardsson et al, 2013). Lusch and Vargo (2014) talk about strategic thinking and taking advantage of unstable environments. This is what societal challenges is all about. This is also in line with SD-logic which are essentially co-creating value for customers and other stakeholders and facilitating, rather than just predicting to provide service” (ibid. p. 191). We will introduce and argue for values based governance, service innovation and the important role of shared values for sustainable service business (Edvardsson et al, 2013). Service networks need shared institutions (rules) to function effectively and coordinate activities among actors (Lusch and Vargo, 2014). These institutions have to cooperate in service networks based on shared values and shared meanings (Edvardsson et al, 2013).Public Transport Value Network as a dynamic and transformative values based service network is about facilitating the network in the interaction of governmental agencies, service providers and the customers/citizens in the network. To facilitate a public/private partnership for public service in a value network is also about designing the right contracts for sharing the cost for setting up and running the network, increase numbers of travellers which use the network and improve positive effects for society. The service providers have their business models, the public transport authority have theirs and those models have to meet in a joint contract. Public Transport for co-creating value for people and developing sustainability for society and the different business models and contractual governance has to be based on the same values based service logic.Key words: Service innovation, values based governance, contractual governance, public transport value network

Values based governance for sustainable business inservice eco systems
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study is of an explorative nature based on six Globally Integrated Enterprises - GIEs (Palmisano, 2006), which can be seen as values based service companies (Pruzan, 1998; Edvardsson and Enquist, 2009). These six enterprises are: Ericson, IBM, IKEA, Volvo, Tetra Pack and Unilever. To further understand the methodological approach we look into different business logics. Vargo (2007) use the label transcendence to explain the logic of value creation. Enquist et. al. (2014) have further investigated this concept of transcendence for Business Logics and argue that it is a need not only for one single business logic. There are several business logics such as Exchange logic; Steering logic; Value creation logic; Business interaction logic; Responsibility logic; and Communication logic (Ibid). In this paper, we will, in an explorative way take this a step further and combine these business logics (Enquist et. al., 2014) with values based service thinking (Edvardsson and Enquist, 2009) and look for values based governance driven by SD-Logic for sustainable business in value networks or eco systems. For “evolving service for a complex, resilient, and sustainable world” the paper address interlink between corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and business models based on values based and triple bottom line thinking. Understanding how value is “networked” and “co-created” by “steering and navigating” in specific contextual settings is deemed essential in securing sustainable service business in which social and environmental perspectives and governance issues are embedded (Enquist et. al., 2014).

- Purpose – This article is a conceptual and empirical study of how a Transformation based on transformative thorough Sustainability and Service Innovation for sustainable business practices can create a new meaning and make a real transformative change for transformation, value creation and sustainability. Sustainable business practices are labeled 3.0 in this article to illustrate a dynamic process in which social and environmental challenges are also used innovatively and proactively to address firm-centric needs as societal challenges. In this article, an actual global transformation agenda in practice is based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is a plan of action for people, planet, prosperity and partnership. Design/methodology/approach – In this article, service research is used as an open source for transdisciplinary research to develop a noble research method for understanding transformation. This is based on transformation lab method in which values-based service, service innovation, a service perspective in business and management and sustainability/Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices are in focus for meeting societal and environmental challenges for transformative change. The approach is inspired by Gummesson (2017), who provides a broader view of using cases by addressing interactive research to generate case theory in Business and Management with the deep insight that interactive research requires win/win reflection and dialogue. The methodological approach aims to create a new meaning in the dialectic between the theoretical framework and empirical context. Sustainable business practices in real contexts are shown by two enterprises: IKEA, the world leading furniture enterprise; and Löfbergs, a family-owned coffee roaster in Northern Europe that is also a global actor in the coffee & climate transformation. Findings – There is a new reality for business and society. The old business model to only focus on the economic value and address social and environmental issues as externalities is over. Sustainability service innovation has been introduced in which a broader transformative and sustainability thinking brings ethical, social and/ or environmental dimensions into service innovation research in which the balance between people and nature come into focus for transformative change. Innovation and sustainability are interacting for more sustainable and innovative solutions. Besides, its complexity to integrate the Transformation process for transformative change. It breaks old boundaries and guiding vison- or values-based change processes in real context to something new and different moving from a Firm-Centric to Societal Perspective. Sustainable business practices has received a new meaning related from only handling economic value to an open business model and a change of mindset in which sustainability is used as a driving force for transformation and innovation (address transformation, co-creation and sustainability/CSR practice). Study limitations/implications – This article has expanded the scope for a greater perspective in service research for a more interactive research and societal perspective in a global context in which ethical, social and environmental challenges can be approached by innovation and sustainability for transformation and prosperity growth within the planetary boundaries. The article is guided by a values-based vision/mission of shared values and shared meanings with the insight that economic growth cannot last forever.
