1. 1. Optimization of Investments for Strategic Process Integration and Pulp Mill Biorefinery Projects under Uncertainty

   Författare :Elin Svensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pulp and paper industry; investment planning; biorefinery; scenario-based modelling.; stochastic programming; Process integration;

   Sammanfattning : Energy-intensive industrial plants operate in a changing, uncertain environment. Long-term changes are expected in energy prices, political regulations and technology development. Pulp and paper companies, like many other industries, are under strong pressure to respond to these changes. LÄS MER

3. 2. The human side of idea screening

   Författare :Alexandre Sukhov; Peter Magnusson; Lars E. Olsson; Antti Sihvonen; Pascal Le Masson; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; comprehension; front end of innovation; generativity; idea screening; mechanisms; mixed methods research; sensemaking; Business Administration; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : In extant research, idea screening has been viewed as a gate where ideas for innovations are evaluated and selected for further development. Given that organizations have limited resources, and cannot implement all of the ideas, idea screening acts as a bottleneck during the innovation process. LÄS MER

4. 3. Organizing the early project phases for frequent innovation in hypercompetitive industries

   Författare :Thomas Biedenbach; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; hypercompetition; organizational change; organizational design; organizational structure; change capabilities; combinative capabilities; dynamic capabilities; project capabilities; multi-project capabilities; innovation; pharmaceutical R D; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis contributes to the understanding of the early project phases and dynamic capabilities as key elements for frequent product innovation in the hypercompetitive pharmaceutical industry. The main purpose of the licentiate thesis is to investigate how organizations organize the early project phases of R&D in hypercompetitive environments for frequent innovation by utilizing a dynamic capabilities perspective.

5. 4. Homo Clima : Klimatmänniskan och den produktiva makten - styrning genom klimatförändring som bioestetisk inramning

   Författare :Annika Skoglund; Monica Lindgren; Lars Strannegård; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Homo Clima; Climate Change; Foucault; Bioaesthetics; Population; Economy; Technology; Governmentality; Regementalitet; Klimatförändring; Homo Clima; Bioestetik; Medborgare; Befolkning; Ekonomi; Teknik; Foucault; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : Former creative resistance to environmentally hazardous activities has during the last decades, through discussions on climate change, been increasingly reoriented by meteorology, expert knowledge and policy discourse. The ecological system’s perspective on climate change, proclaiming the human not simply as a disturbance in a natural balancing system, but as changing it, has become a causal model for the possibility to change that human.

7. 5. Capabilities for frequent innovation : Managing the early project phases in the pharmaceutical R&D process

   Författare :Thomas Biedenbach; Nils Wåhlin; Ralf Müller; Nathalie Drouin; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Project management research; early project phases; dynamic capabilities; project capabilities; multi-project capabilities; pharmaceutical innovation; hypercompetition; R D;

   Sammanfattning : Despite their recognized significance for project success and innovation, the management of the early project phases is still an under-researched area in project management. For organizations to secure a continuous stream of innovation, the utilization of capabilities is crucial for managing the early phases of R&D projects. LÄS MER
