Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Innovation contests are becoming popular instruments for stimulating development of digital services using open data. However, experience indicates that only a limited number of the results developed during these events become viable digital services attracting a significant user base. To further deepen our understanding of the role, design and function of innovation contests in open data markets, we conducted a survey of the websites of 33 digital innovation contests. The results of the survey show that organizers design digital innovation contests to function as intermediaries for open data innovation. By analyzing the activities performed by organizers we found several examples of how innovation contests support the participants in designing, implementing and providing services after the contests are concluded. We contribute with a key design element and attributes for the post-contest process of digital innovation contests, which adds to existing key design elements. For future research we suggest to further study open data markets and the intermediary role of digital innovation contests. Moreover we propose to develop guidelines and tools for organizers of digital innovation contests to design contests that better meet the needs of a particular open data market.

- Innovation contests are becoming popular instruments for stimulating development of digital services using open data. However, experience indicates that only a limited number of the results developed during these events become viable digital services attracting a significant user base. Hence, an unresolved question is how organizers choose to support the service development process after the contest is concluded. To further deepen our knowledge about the design of digital innovation contests and the support for the processes after the contests are concluded, we conducted a survey of the websites of 33 digital innovation contests.

What happens next? – A survey of the afterlife of innovation contests
- 2014

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Innovation contests are becoming popular instruments for stimulating development of digital services using open data. However, experience indicates that only a limited number of the results developed during these events become viable digital services attracting a significant user base. Hence, an unresolved question is how organizers choose to support the service development process after the contest is concluded. To further deepen our knowledge about the design of digital innovation contests and the support for the processes after the contests are concluded, we conducted a survey of the websites of 33 digital innovation contests. The results of the survey show that the majority of the contests provide a very low level of support or no support at all to the participants after the contests are concluded. Still, during our classification of support actions presented in the survey we also found several examples of how innovation contests choose to support the participants in designing, implementing and providing services after the contests are concluded. We contribute with a key design element and attributes for the post-contest process of digital innovation contests, which adds to existing design elements. Our conclusion is that very few innovation contests take the post-contest process into account. Yet there are examples where organizers of contests bear in mind their own important role in the following service innovation process and provide for example funding and development support to participants. For future research we propose to conduct a more thorough survey including interviews with organizers and participants.

Applied business intelligence in the making : An inter-university case from swedish higher education
- 2009
-
In: Business Information Systems Workshops. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin/Heidelberg. - 9783642034237 ; , s. 226-230
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There has long been a debate regarding the inclusion of IT into the curriculum for business students. With IT being a natural part of their coming working environment, the under-developed use of for instance Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Business Intelligence (BI) solutions has suffered much critique. As a response to this, the Centre for Business Solutions and the Scandinavian Academic Network for Teaching Enterprise Systems (SANTE) have created a joint initiative together with the industry. Through making the full accounts from a medium-sized manufacturing company available to the students through a specially designed BI solution, the students are given the task to identify potential problems with the accounts. The assignment is intended to be run in the form of a competition, where the students from different Swedish universities compete in analyzing the company in a given time-frame. The purpose of this case is to present the outline and outset for the competition, together with some initial reflections on the setup-phase.

Towards the third-wave of higher enterprise system education: Three Scandinavian cases
- 2008
-
In: Information Systems Research Seminar in Scandinavia. ; 31
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- With enterprise systems being a natural part of any business environment, they are becoming an integrated part of educational environments. With the systems having the potential to illustrate, visualize and simulate business and decision-making processes to students of both business and IT, they hold vast potential for playing a crucial role in future pedagogic innovation within higher education. Through accounts of previous experiences of enterprise system inclusion, the majority of examples have been single installations of large and highly complex enterprise systems. This has led to a high degree of failure and difficulties for academia to realize many of the potential benefits. This article reports from three cases from Scandinavian higher education, where a wide selection of different mid-market enterprise systems have been applied in the educational environment. These three cases are seen as examples of a third wave of enterprise system inclusion within higher education, relating the findings to what Hawking et al (2004) described as the second wave. This third wave is signified by a strong focus on introducing the systems as vehicles of pedagogic innovation rather than as a means in themselves, and through a focus on less complex systems from a multitude of different vendors.

A Method for Designing Digital Innovation Contest Measurement Models
- 2018
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- As contests become more popular means for organizing digital innovation, the need for measuring contest performance increases. The Digital Innovation Contest Measurement-model(DICM-model), which is the basis for this study was designed based on a single case study,and its evaluation indicated that there is a need for a customizable methodological approachthat can accommodate differences in organizational requirements for designing and refiningDICM-models. Therefore, in this paper, we present a summary of the evaluation of the DICMmodel and propose a nine-step method to design and refine DICM-models using a qualityoriented approach. The proposed method is based on the Goal-Question-Metric and the Balanced Scorecard to elicit measures and to enable agility in measuring the fulfilment of measurement goals of innovation contests. Also, the method facilitates knowledge management torefine, record and communicate best practices. An ex-ante evaluation of the method indicatesthat the method provides practical support in designing and improving a DICM model. Forfuture study, it is suggested to widen the scope of the method to aid in the design of measurement models for digital innovations using open data, in general.

A Process Model for Generating and Evaluating Ideas : The Use of Machine Learning and Visual Analytics to Support Idea Mining
- 2020
-
In: Electronic Government and the Information Systems Perspective. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030589561 - 9783030589578 ; , s. 189-203

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The significance and possibilities of idea generation and evaluation are increasing due to the increasing demands for digital innovation and the abundance of textual data. Textual data such as social media, publications, patents, documents, etc. are used to generate ideas, yet manual analysis is affected by bias and subjectivity. Machine learning and visual analytics tools could be used to support idea generation and evaluation, referred to as idea mining, to unlock the potential of voluminous textual data. Idea mining is applied to support the extraction of useful information from textual data. However, existing literature merely focuses on the outcome and overlooks structuring and standardizing the process itself. In this paper, to support idea mining, we designed a model following design science research, which overlaps with the Cross-Industry-Standard-Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) process and adapts well-established models for technology scouting. The first layer presents and business layer, where tasks performed by technology scouts, incubators, accelerators, consultants, and contest managers are detailed. The second layer presents the technical layer where tasks performed by data scientists, data engineers, and similar experts are detailed overlapping with CRISP-DM. For future research, we suggest an ex-post evaluation and customization of the model to other techniques of idea mining.
