Communication Enabling the Implementation of Innovation
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 29th IRIS. ; , s. 15-
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes the proposed research approach of a research projectcalled, Communication Enabling the Implementation of Innovation. The point of departurefor the project is a view on innovation described as hard work rather than mere creativityor inventions. This leads to the conclusion that innovation processes can be supportedand enhanced through planned activities. The paper promotes a perspective linkinginnovation to the well established concept of a learning organization. The aim for theresearch project is threefold; 1) to generate a method for the development on an indexmeasuring “innovation maturity” of organizations. 2) to generate specific measures ofinnovation processes and 3) to develop a feedback system enhancing the innovativeorganizations towards a learning organization.

Innovation in SME : A Case of Firm-Supportive Research
- 2009
-
Ingår i: IRIS 32. - Trondheim : Tapir Akademisk Forlag. - 9788251925310 ; , s. 187-201
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes a case of collaboration between academia and business firms in supporting innovation processes. The research developed into a firm-supportive model called the CILO method, named after the CILO project (communication in learning organisations). We describe the outcomes from applying the CILO method in relation to one of the partner companies and discuss the methodological implications in relation to established research models. We propose the notion of firmsupportive research as a concept to consider in research aiming at developing business firms.

Robotics and early-years stem education : botSTEM framework, toolkit, and implemented activities in Sweden
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- botSTEM is an ERASMUS+ project aiming to raise the utilisation of inquiry-based collaborative learning and robots-enhanced education. The project outputs are specifically aimed to provide in- and pre-service teachers in Childhood and Primary Education and children aged between 4 and 8, with research-based materials and best practices that use integrated Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) and robot-based approaches, including code-learning, for enhancing scientific literacy in young children. Initial results from the project in terms of a collection of good educational practices summarized in a freely downloadable Toolkit and results from a qualitative analysis of implemented activities during science teaching in Swedish preschools are presented here. The preliminary analysis of the implementations indicate that robots function as motivation factors in young children’s inquiry of science and engineering design technology, in both teacher and children initiated learning situations.

The quest for intelligence in SME´s : acting on external information by development of internal practices
- 2008
-
Ingår i: 5th International Conference on Intellectual Capital, Knowledge Management and Organisational Learning. - Reading : Academic Publishing Limited. - 9781906638160 ; , s. 129-136

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organizational Intelligence (OI) focuses particularly on the systematic processing of information from external sources in order to enhance the ability to foresee the future and to adapt to changes in the environment. Traditionally this pursuit of intelligence has been regarded as a central organizational function focusing on information retrieval and information provision. OI has also been regarded as an issue mainly reserved for the larger companies. In pace with the development of global markets even for small and medium sized enterprises (SME), the urge for Organizational Intelligence (OI) in these companies is increasing. This paper presents a model for describing how intelligence is obtained in successful SME´s. The model is evaluated and tested through case based reasoning towards a framework for describing OI in SME´s.This research explores OI from a different perspective in promoting a more action-directed approach investigating how organizational intelligence is expressed in organizational processes and routines. The core contribution from the work presented is that OI in SME´s is effectively explained by the contribution from motivated knowledge workers commitment to organizational intelligence activities as expressed in knowledge management practices. This statement is supported by an empirical investigation which is built on a case study of a successful company, Bend&Weld Ltd, showing rapid, sustainable and profitable growth. The case of Bend&Weld address the main question; How can the pursuit of Organizational Intelligence in successful small and medium sized enterprises be explained and described? , supported by the sub questions; How can individual knowledge workers spontaneous environmental scanning support Organizational Intelligence? , and, What role can routines and procedures play in the pursuit of Organizational Intelligence? The findings demonstrate that organizational intelligence is not limited to an information processing function but rather should be viewed as an outcome of planned knowledge management practices constituting core organizational business processes. SME´s recognize the need to be attentive to their environments but are not aware nor can describe in what way they are pursuing intelligence. The result of a five year research project presents a model to describe and understand the pursuit of intelligence in SME´s.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the attitudes, conceptions and use of social media in net-based higher education. By using statistical and content analysis of data generated by two surveys directed to students (n = 109) and teachers (n = 77) involved in net-based higher education, we explore how social media influence the design of learning context in net-based higher education courses. By applying the affordance theory, we describe actual as well as preferred use of social media from an educational, social, and technical perspectives. The results showed that the potential use of social media have not yet been fully found in the context of net-based higher education. However, the perceived benefit of using social media differs in relation to educational topics. The potential use of social media in net-based higher education courses is discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I takt med att digitalisering, teknik och naturvetenskap fått en alltmer framskjuten plats i europeiska läroplaner för yngre barn har frågor väckts hos förskollärare och lärare i länderna om vad detta innebär för undervisningen. Som en följd skapades botSTEM-projektet (2017-2020), ett Erasmus+-projekt med samarbetspartners i Spanien, Sverige, Italien och Cypern. Syftet var att skapa och erbjuda förskollärare och lärare en verktygslåda i form av en interaktiv hemsida med exempel på undervisningsaktiviteter som kombinerar naturvetenskap, teknik, ingenjörskunskap, matematik och robotik för barn fyra-åtta år gamla, där lärarna kan hämta inspiration och också utbyta erfarenheter med varandra. I den här artikeln beskriver vi förskollärarnas arbete med naturvetenskap och robotik i botSTEM och de forskningsresultat, om undervisningsstrategier och kommunikation mellan lärare och barn, som projektet ledde fram till.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- botSTEM is an ERASMUS+ project aiming to raise the utilisation of inquiry-based collaborative learning and robots-enhanced education. The project outputs are specifically aimed to provide in- and pre-service teachers in Childhood and Primary Education and children four-eight years old, with research-based materials and practices that use integrated Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) and robot-based approaches, including code-learning, for enhancing scientific literacy in young children. This article presents the outputs from the botSTEM project; the didactical framework underpinning the teaching material, addressing pedagogy and content. It is a gender inclusive pedagogy that makes use of inquiry, engineering design methodology, collaborative work and robotics. The article starts with a presentation of the botSTEM toolkit with assorted teaching practices and finishes with examples of preliminary results from a qualitative analysis of implemented activities during science teaching in preschools. It turns out that despite perceived obstacles that teachers initially expressed, the analysis of the implementations indicates that the proposed STEM integrated framework, including inquiry teaching and engineering design methodologies, can be used with children as young as four years old.

Knowledge and communicative aspects of visualization in action case research
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of intelligent and agents 2007. - : IADIS Press. - 9789728924393 - 9728924399 ; , s. 154-160
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The departure point of this paper is the use of visualization as a tool in action case research. In such research, the researcher seeks a balance between interpreting qualitative data and intervening to solve the problem of the research partner. The communicative and knowledge aspects of visualization are highlighted. The research partner in this research, Flower Systems Ltd. (FSL), is a software company that has developed the ISOX 2000 document management system especially to meet the needs of social services in local governments. Over the last year, employees at various social service agencies have complained about the usability and user friendliness of ISOX. In the action case research two kinds of results are expected: concrete results, as in taking action in a problem solving context (here, the usability problem with ISOX), and conceptual results, as in listing proposed changes to a theoretical framework. The question raised in this paper is: What are the benefits of using visualization as a tool for building interpretations and understandings that are shared by both researchers and practitioners? The concrete results of the collaboration are 1) a more user-friendly, redesigned version of ISOX based on the use of different visualization techniques and 2) a change in how FSL works on redesign. The conceptual result is a list of proposed changes to the knowledge visualization framework, based on the empirical findings and theoretical framework regarding visualization

Operationalizing theory : Moving from insight to action in a SME
- 2007

-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a method for operationalizing theory. The method has its basis in the empirical findings arising from collaboration between the researchers and a research partner, Flower Systems Ltd. The research partner is a software company characterized as a SME. The presented method is exemplified with theories from learning organizations, usability, and visualization - which are all connected to the problem articulated by our partner. The method is an iterative process characterized by a systemic and holistic long- term view that incorporates feedback. The method takes as its point of departure the problematic area described by Flower Systems ltd; the researchers both intervene and interpret in this problematic area, so the method is both described and verified.. The paper combines the case study and action research methods in what is sometimes referred to as a "hybrid" method, the action case method. The view of innovation presented in this paper is that innovation entails supporting change processes in order to create purposeful and focused change.. The underlying research question has been: How usable is our method for operationalizing theory in solving the problem of adapting to changes in an SME?

- There are numerous examples of the use of visualization of events and processes within the field of Information Systems. Rich pictures are used in soft systems methodology (SSM), images of event-driven chain models are used in process modeling, etc. This paper focuses on the use of generic visualization methods in action case research. In action case research, the researcher balances between interpretation of qualitative data and intervention to solve the problem of the research partner. Two kinds of results are expected: conceptual results, as in describing expected events or expected functionality, and concrete results, as in taking action in some problem-solving context. The questions raised in this paper are:• What are the benefits of using visualization as a tool for building shared interpretations and mutual understandings between researchers and practice in action case research settings?• How can visualization activities in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contribute to bridging the gap between conceptual and concrete levels of results?In this paper we present empirical findings from an action case research project. Flower Systems Ltd. is a software company that has developed a document handling system (ISOX) especially designed to meet the needs of social services in local governments. The concrete result of the collaboration is a more user-friendly, redesigned version of ISOX based on the use of different visualization techniques. The conceptual result is a proposed model for using visualization when balancing between interpretation and intervention.
