Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Anyone who has taught a course in Strategic Management probably provides the same basic content to students including the infamous SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat) analysis along with the identification of functional level, business level, and generic strategies to enhance an organization’s competitiveness. What might be different in the teaching of strategic management courses are the methods of instruction. The focus of this paper is a comparison of the teaching of an undergraduate Strategic Management course for two different institutions located in different countries. The strategic management course offered in these two unassociated institutions is a 7-week long undergraduate course. Both courses are offered through a hybrid model of teaching that includes face to face meetings along with an online component. The curriculum and teaching methods of these two courses will be compared and contrasted. Additionally, the lessons learned both in the process of teaching and of comparing the two experiences will be shared.

University-Industry Educational Collaboration : Knowledge spillovers and spillins through student-written cases and MSc theses
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Most companies and organizations are primarily interested in universities' educational activities and to a lesser extent in universities' research activities. Against this background, it is strange that the research on collaboration between universities and the surrounding society is primarily directed towards research collaboration between universities and companies/organizations and to a lesser extent towards educational collaboration between universities and companies/organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to increase both the empirical and theoretical knowledge of educational collaboration between universities and the surrounding society, specifically companies and organizations. The thesis particularly wants to contribute to increased knowledge about the advantages and success factors related to educational collaboration for universities, students, and teachers as well as the collaborating companies and public organizations. This contribution is made by answering the overarching research question:What are the benefits of university-industry educational collaboration and howcan university-industry educational collaboration succeed?Five studies have been conducted. Two qualitative studies on Student-Written Cases within a master's course "Technology Strategies" which are based on real cases within collaborating companies. A quantitative study of MSc theses was performed at the Faculty of Engineering and the School of Economics and Management, both at Lund University, during 2016, as well as a survey study of collaborating companies and organizations related to these MSc theses. Finally, a conceptual study has been conducted to develop the theoretical understanding of educational collaboration.The thesis demonstrates that educational collaboration within individual courses must be planned and implemented carefully with collaborating companies or organizations. The purpose of the collaboration must be clearly communicated to all stakeholders. The thesis also presents a tested model for how Student-Written Cases and teaching notes based on real situations in companies and public organizations can be planned and implemented in teaching.When it comes to MSc projects that are carried out in collaboration with companies and organizations, studies show that it is mainly larger companies that have realized the value of educational collaboration. They have seen the importance of this mainly in terms of recruiting students, but also for knowledge support in their innovation processes, especially for product innovations and in the early innovation phases, i.e., screening of new technologies and development of applications. The thesis also shows a slightly lower interest from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in educational collaboration. The SMEs that get involved in MSc thesis projects have a greater interest in problem solutions in the later innovation process, i.e., prototyping and testing them. To engage more SMEs in MSc thesis projects, more information, and stronger incentives, such as vouchers, are required to increase interest. The thesis concludes with elaborating a conceptual framework that describes the development stages of a university institution’s collaborative capabilities.

Group-living in the southern anteater-chat Myrmecocichla formicivora.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Group-living sets the scene for complex social behaviours such as cooperative breeding, and exploring the factors that shape group-living is crucial in understanding these behaviours. Here we describe some aspects of the ecology of a population of the facultative cooperative breeding southern anteater-chat (Myrmecocichla formicivora), a group living bird species endemic to southern Africa. We used data from a four year study of individually marked birds, with pedigrees completed using microsatellite genotyping. Southern anteater-chats live in groups of 2-5 individuals - a breeding pair and up to three additional none-breeders. These auxiliary birds were either retained offspring or unrelated individuals, and all birds in a group assisted by feeding at the nest. Our population had a skewed sex ratio of approximately 58% males to 42% females, yet the sex ratio of fledglings was equal, suggesting sex-biased mortality. Helpers were predominantly retained male offspring; however 21% of helpers were unrelated to either of the breeding pair. Southern anteater-chats appear to be non-territorial, with an apparent lack of aggression both within and between groups. Our study confirms that the southern anteater-chat is a facultative cooperative breeder, with both pair breeders and groups with helpers capable of fledging youngsters. We provide evidence suggesting that the breeding system of the southern anteater-chat is based on prompt female dispersal, and male philopatry due to an apparent shortage of mates, potential benefits of the natal site and possible high costs of floating. It appears that ecological constraints promoting delayed dispersal are reinforced by benefits gained from remaining philopatric.

Sex specific survival in the southern anteater-chat Mymecocichla formicivora.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Survival is a key factor behind life-history variation both between and within species. It is also a major influence on sociality in species which delay dispersal and live in family groups. Knowledge of differential survival rates between males and females and juveniles and adults give insights into the costs and benefits of different behavioural and life-history strategies. Here we investigate patterns of survival in a population of the southern anteater-chat (Myrmecocichla formicivora), a facultative cooperatively breeding passerine of southern Africa. Using data from a 9-year mark-capture-recapture study, we examined juvenile and adult sex related variation in survival, and the role of environmental variables (rainfall, temperature) for survival patterns in the population. Annual adult survival probability (mean ± SE) was 0.71 ± 0.03 for males and 0.60 ± 0.04 for females. Juvenile survival was lower for each sex, with juvenile female survival (0.36 ± 0.04) being 35% lower than juvenile male survival (0.55 ± 0.04). Using these estimates we calculated the mean life span (MLS) in years for male southern anteater-chat to be 4.0 ± 0.7, considerably higher than for females at 2.0 ± 0.4. These figures closely matched the population-age structure of the study area, and could explain the high male biased sex skew of adult birds in this population. Higher annual mean temperature was associated with higher survival, whereas higher annual rainfall was associated with lower survival for both sex and age classes. Female survival, particularly female juvenile survival, may be reduced due to prompt dispersal and longer dispersal distances, and the additional costs of breeding early in life. Differential survival can promote male philopatry and this in turn could well encourage the cooperative breeding we see in the southern anteater-chat.

Acoustic radiation- and streaming-induced microparticle velocities determined by microparticle image velocimetry in an ultrasound symmetry plane

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present microparticle image velocimetry measurements of suspended microparticles of diameters from 0.6 to 10 mu m undergoing acoustophoresis in an ultrasound symmetry plane in a microchannel. The motion of the smallest particles is dominated by the Stokes drag from the induced acoustic streaming flow, while the motion of the largest particles is dominated by the acoustic radiation force. For all particle sizes we predict theoretically how much of the particle velocity is due to radiation and streaming, respectively. These predictions include corrections for particle-wall interactions and ultrasonic thermoviscous effects and match our measurements within the experimental uncertainty. Finally, we predict theoretically and confirm experimentally that the ratio between the acoustic radiation-and streaming-induced particle velocities is proportional to the actuation frequency, the acoustic contrast factor, and the square of the particle size, while it is inversely proportional to the kinematic viscosity.
