1. 1. Innovation- och säkerhetsvetenskap : En fruktbar syntes

   Författare :Tommy Torsne; Carl Rollenhagen; Björn Wahlström; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Innovation; Risk; Säkerhet; Förändring; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Sammanfattning : The foundation for the thesis is a literature study within two areas: safety and innovation science. In the thesis safety science will revolve around how different methods and various models are used to identify and reduce risks, i.e. to secure the functionality within limited systems. LÄS MER

3. 2. The pace of innovation : Patterns of innovation in the cardiac pacemaker industry

   Författare :Patrik Hidefjäll; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cardiac Pacemaker; Competition; Competitive Advantage; Defibrillator; Dominant Design; Innovation; Organizational Field; Patterns of Innovation; Technical Change; Technology Cycle; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Sammanfattning : The PhD thesis "The Pace of Innovation" addresses the questions how patterns of innovation change over time in an industry, their consequences for competition and how institutional conditions in an industry shape determinants of patterns of innovation. Patterns of innovation mainly refer to how certain regularities in the diversity, types and locus of innovation change in an industry according to a technology and industry life cycle. LÄS MER

4. 3. Digital Innovation : Orchestrating Network Activities

   Författare :Jesper Lund; Carina Ihlström Eriksson; Jonny Holmström; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; digital innovation; network activities; orchestration; innovation network; Living Lab; digital technology; digital innovation; network activities; orchestration; innovation network; Living Lab; digital technology;

   Sammanfattning : Digitization of analogue everyday artifacts, i.e. when physical products are equipped with digital capabilities, has a profound impact on today’s society. Some examples of these digital innovations aimed at consumer markets are the “connected” car, the digitized television set, and in the near future, digitized IKEA furniture. LÄS MER

5. 4. Medical Device Innovation : The integrated processes of invention, diffusion and deployment

   Författare :Kerstin Roback; Jan Persson; Stuart S. Blume; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation; Medical technical products; Spread; Technique use; Technical development; Social change; Innovation; Medicintekniska produkter; Spridning; Teknikanvändning; Seknisk utveckling; Social förändring; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

   Sammanfattning : An increased use of medical devices has been assumed to be a major cause of rising healthcare expenditures. Nations around the world are trying to keep costs down, but strong incentives still exist for the development and use of new devices. Innovation is, however, never exclusively good or bad and it is not easy to evaluate the net effect. LÄS MER

7. 5. Evolutionary innovation : Early industrial uses of genetic engineering

   Författare :Maureen McKelvey; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Biotechnology industry; Economics of innovation; Evolutionary Economics; Genentech; human growth hormone; Kabi; technological innovation; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Sammanfattning : Based on an analysis of biological and economic theories of evol~tion, this dissertation first specifies evolutionary innovation and then uses it toanalyze early industrial uses of genetic engineering. Innovation refers totechnological innovation processes, i.e. series of innovative activitiesresulting in technical change. LÄS MER
