  1. 11. Consistent Inconsistency : The Role of Tension in Explaining Change in Interorganizational Relationships

    Författare :Siavash Alimadadi; Anna Bengtson; Amjad Hadjikhani; Cecilia Pahlberg; Tuija Mainela; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Process of change; interorganizational relationship dynamics; business networks; dialectics; contradictions; tensions; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis commences with the notion that interorganizational exchange relationships are dynamic to an unprecedented degree. It is argued that, global production networks have integrated firms into interdependent structures that blur traditional geographical and organizational boundaries. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Sustainable production of bio-energy products in the sawmill industry

    Författare :Anna Vidlund; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :sawmill industry; energy efficiency; heat recovery; integration; biofuel; upgrading; district heating; fuel pellets; CHP; VOC; CO2;

    Sammanfattning : One of the great challenges facing society is to convert theglobal energy system to a sustainable process. Currently, 80%of the world´s energy is supplied through the combustionof fossil fuels. Not only are the fossil resources limited, theutilisation also increases the level of greenhouse gases in theatmosphere. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : From the mid-1970s and on, the contribution to air pollution of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from gasoline passenger cars in the developed world has been reduced through co-evolution of regulation and commercial introduction of catalytic emission control technology, now part of hundreds of millions of cars, trucks and buses worldwide. This dissertation is a disaggregated study of the global introduction of catalytic emission control technology as a measure to reduce local air pollution. LÄS MER
