Organisering och ledning av samverkan i praktiken : Med hjälp av begrepp och processer
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Socialmedicinsk Tidskrift. - 0037-833X. ; 97:4, s. 625-639
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Syftet är att föreslå ett antal begrepp som verktyg för att tonsätta och bråka med ledning och organisering av samverkan i praktiken. Tonsätta innebär att begreppen hjälper praktiker att benämna fenomen som man tidigare inte haft ett språk för. Bråka innebär att med hjälp av begrepp lära sig att se nya saker som också utmanar, både ens tidigare föreställningar och tidigare forskning utmanas. Tonsätta och bråka innebär begripliggörande av en praktik i kontrast till modeller, system eller liknande stöd för handlande fokuserar vi på begrepp som kan vara till stöd för att förstå och utveckla komplexa processer av samverkan i praktiken.

Collaboration in the making : towards a practice-based approach to university innovation intermediary organisations
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Sustainability. - 2071-1050. ; 12:12
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study aims to understand and explore situations of collaboration between various actors in connection with a university-driven innovation intermediary organisation, and how the intermediary organisation facilitates collaboration in the making. To this end, we employ a case of a university-driven long-lasting intermediary organisation within the agricultural and forestry sectors. We examine three collaborative situations, using practice-based research and process theories as theoretical perspectives. A narrative approach is adopted as the method of investigation. The findings are presented in a conceptual model where the structures of the intermediary organisation are translated into practices, against which individuals can develop their collaboration processes. It is concluded that collaboration in the making is formed in the interplay between structures, practices and processes in relations between people. This implies that the organising of collaboration should focus its attention not only on structures but also on the practices and processes formed between people. The study contributes to the understanding of the organising of university innovation intermediary organisations by untangling the relations between structures, practices and processes in situations of collaboration between people.

Collective agency as a leverage point in multi-actor innovation: Two case studies from Swedish horticulture
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Agricultural and Food Science. - 1459-6067 .- 1795-1895. ; 32, s. 166-178
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study is to investigate how horticultural firms meet their need for innovation within the innovation system. A comparative process ethnography approach was applied to two cases of long-term collaboration between multiple actors in Swedish horticulture. The retrospective reconstruction of the cases through documentation and interviews allowed for triangulation of data in a grounded theory approach. The leverage points of the developing collaborative processes were found to be; having agency and a network approach, the forming of collective agency through social learning, enhancing resource access, and operationalization of results. The concept of leverage points is useful for understanding evolutionary changes in multi-actor collaborations. The use of the concept of collective agency contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of demand articulation, illustrating a reciprocal process between the actors' individual agencies, and evolving over time through their social learning. The results point to a need for policymakers and practitioners to develop a broader understanding of how actors work in the innovation system to enhance knowledge development and innovation.

Knowledge and innovation systems in Swedish horticulture : A study of multi-actor collaboration for impact
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The background of this thesis is new directions in international and national politics, the challenges of contemporary innovation systems, and the challenges and potentials in Swedish horticulture. The aim is to investigate how the knowledge and innovation system in Swedish horticulture can be reinforced to meet current and future challenges. The research questions focus on how network facilitation, social learning, and impact orientation can contribute to a reinforced knowledge and innovation system. The frame of reference takes in theories of systems of innovation, and, in particular, agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS). The thesis is also complemented with theories of social processes related to learning and impact. The methods include qualitative case studies in a progression from traditional qualitative research methods towards an action research approach. The results identified processes of network brokering, dialogue, co-agency and inclusion as central to reinforcing the knowledge and innovation system of Swedish horticulture. The findings point to a need to balance a structural interpretation of the horticultural knowledge and innovation system with a process perspective, to actively invite the agency of engaged and entrepreneurial individuals, and to balance the historical ‘supply side innovation’ perspective with a prioritization on the creation of societal impact. These results provide a contribution to the debate around different systems perspectives of the AKIS. They also highlight how changes in everyday work at the micro-level are a precondition for system level change, and how actions at the micro-level have the potential of improving the ability to meet current and future challenges and contribute to societal impact and change.

Ingår i: Policy brief (SLU Future Food).
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Ny kunskap och innovation har en viktig funktion att bidra till en hållbar och växande jordbruks- och livsmedelsnäring. Studier av svensk trädgårdsnäring visar att sociala färdigheter och samarbetsförmåga är avgörande för att ny kunskap och innovation ska kunna omsättas i praktisk förändring. Baserat på aktuell forskning vill denna policy brief inspirera till en större kreativitet och satsning på formerna för samarbete mellan aktörer, för att bidra till en hållbar omställning av samhället.

Leverage points in farmer, advisor and researcher interactions.
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this study is to investigate how agricultural firms can use innovation support services to develop new knowledge and innovation, for their sustainable business development and growth. The methods comprise a qualitative case study with a comparative process ethnography approach, employing two cases of long-term collaborations between multiple actors in Sweden. The findings suggest that the processes of social learning, the forming of collective agency, enhancing of resource access and the operationalizing of results, were leverage points creating the ability to maintain and develop the collaboration over time. The practical implications include how agricultural firms can gain innovative strength and find leverage by forming collective agency with key individuals in order to access complementary competences and resources of others. The theoretical implications include the value of collective agency for multi-actor collaborations, and that a composition of smaller leverage points were found to enable larger change.

Market formation and the role of the farmer in a micro-level agri-food innovation system
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Journal on Food System Dynamics. - 1869-6945. ; 14, s. 394-406
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim is to investigate the dynamics and driving forces within a micro-level agri-food innovation system, focusing on market formation and the role of the farmer. We applied a qualitative case study approach to the introduction of sweet potato cultivation to Sweden, using the technological innovation systems approach as the analytical tool. The findings highlight the role of farmers as entrepreneurs, and market formation as a driver for the innovation system. Policy implications include that innovation policy instruments need to become more long-term, oriented towards both production development and pre-market formation, and facilitate new arenas for actors’ joint problem-solving.
