OSMaaS Toolkit : Designing Open and Self Organising Mechanisms for Sustainable Mobility as a Service
- 2024
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The project Open and Self Organizing Mechanisms for Sustainable Mobility as a Service (OSMaaS) ran between 2020 and 2024, hosted by Halmstad University and funded by The Knowledge Foundation. The project was a collaboration between researchers from service design, design ethnography, business model innovation, and intelligent systems, and the companies Volvo Cars, WirelessCar, Polestar, and Devoteam. One of the project’s outputs is the OSMaaS Service Design Framework that integrates research from the different activities in the project into a toolkit for service designers. This booklet provides a guide for how to apply the framework. Each canvas can be used standalone or in any order, but our experience is that the framework is most powerful when following the design process presented here. The canvases can be downloaded from the OSMaaS webpage and are free to use.

The use and abuse of 3D-printing from a business model perspective
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper analyses changes in user activities and behaviour across different types of actors following the introduction of 3D printers. 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has been claimed to disrupt manufacturing, allowing firms to move from prototyping to full-scale end-part production and replacement part production in a one-step process. 3D printing has many different uses, for example, the manufacturing of toys, shoes, lamps and fashion accessories, and by implication many different types of users and buyers. There are few empirical studies on the types of uses and users of 3D, hampering our understanding in what ways the 3D printers may change the behaviour of users, and whether 3D printers affect the likelihood and the nature of entrepreneurship or business model innovation. To investigate this, a model was created based on the 3DP literature. The model is applied on a distributor customer database and four interview-based illustrative case studies. The empirical findings show that the use of 3DP a) lowers the knowledge and resource barriers for experimentation and entrepreneurial entry, b) increases product and concept prototyping in product development, c) provides a potential for business model innovation by expanding the boundaries of the firm upstream and downstream, and d) becomes a ticket for entrepreneurial entry. Based on our results, the paper suggests that the potential of 3D printers alter user innovative activities is high but most of the potential is latent.

Towards a Mass Customised Healthcare - Healthcareprofessionals Experience of AI
- 2024
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A growing and aging population provides challenges for the healthcare sector, generating higher healthcare costs, and ineffective work process that results in long patient queues and problems with recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals. Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered as one means to provide efficient processes for healthcare professionals, e.g. in diagnostics and treatment recommendations. However, research has shown that there are many obstacles to successfully introducing and using AI applications in healthcare, especially by focusing on the organizational level. However, individual healthcare professionals have an important role to play in the transition towards information driven healthcare. Therefore, we address the healthcare professionals' perception of the usefulness and value of AI applications, as well as challenges and considerations of this new technology. The study is based on an exploratory approach with more than 350 healthcare professionals in Sweden, carried out beginning of 2024. The questionnaire includes perceptions of the use of AI and identifies potential challenges that need to be addressed. The respondents include doctors (92%) and nurses (8%). The sample consists of answers from 221 (62%) male and 136 (38%) female respondents. Most of the respondents work in public hospitals (54%) and health centers (20% public and 14% private). Several AI applications are used by healthcare professionals, spanning from administrative work reduction to new insights in the analysis of complex cases.Thematic analysis is conducted to create a model of perception of usefulness, values and problems (barriers). The analysis includes a stepwise analysis to identify patterns and themes.The results from the project provide insights into how the introduction of AI applications in healthcare changes the work of healthcare professionals and the perceived challenges that need to be addressed to improve their work by using AI. To some extent, implementation and use is based on healthcare professionals’ interest in using new advanced technology but for others the decision to adopt AI is primarily based on formal decisions within the organization. Respondents that have been using AI for at least six months, indicate AI supports decision making, with the main benefit consisting of a more effective and faster work process, while other respondents do not perceive any changes. A surprising result is that healthcare professionals have identified the possibility to test and evaluate new ideas and more complex cases. One interpretation is that AI has made the workload easier, which may allow for more innovative work. Another interpretation is that their experience-based knowledge is augmented by AI, and this makes it possible for them to handle more complex cases. However, others experience a learning paradox – challenging to find time and learn how to use the technology, while at the same time adopting by testing AI applications.Conclusions drawn from the ongoing study provide insights on the transformation phase towards implementing and using AI applications in healthcare.

Explaining business model innovation processes: A problem formulation and problem solving perspective

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explains the business model innovation processes in industrial firms. Drawing on three case studies of leading business-to-business firms shifting from product-based to service-based business models, it introduces problems as a theoretical concept to explain business model innovation processes. We show how formulating and solving problems guide the search for a viable business model and why some problem formulation and solving activities lead firms to shift between backward-looking and forward-looking searches. The decision to shift to a forward-looking search is triggered by the perception of failure to continue with an established way of working, while the shift to a backward-looking search is based on the perception of high alternative costs. We contribute to the business model innovation and servitization literature by theorizing the process of business model innovation and providing implications for managers.
