1. 1. Innovation jams as vehicles for innovation

   Författare :Anne Elerud-Tryde; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; search process; collective innovation practice; innovation management; innovation jam; internal stakeholders;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the emerging phenomenon of the innovation jam, and its use by large firms. Innovation jams allow firms to engage with new actors (e.g. employees, customers, lead users) across company and geographical boundaries, and to direct innovative activity in novel ways. LÄS MER

3. 2. The Uncertainty-Embedded Innovation Process : A study of how uncertainty emerges in the innovation process and of how firms address that to create novelty

   Författare :Sabrina Luthfa Karim; Gabriel Baffour Awuah; Mikael Hilmersson; Klaus Solberg Søilen; Anna Öhrwall Rönnbäck; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Innovation process; Uncertainties; Compromised and uncompromised actions; Actors; Resources; Activities; Activity links; Activity void;

   Sammanfattning : Despite much discussion in the literature of uncertainties in relation to the innovation process, there is little knowledge of how they emerge in this process. This thesis accordingly aims to understand how uncertainty emerges in the innovation process and how firms address that uncertainty to create novelty from the process. LÄS MER

4. 3. 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

   Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of this thesis is to analyze the role of public policies for technological development (i.e., innovation) in the renewable energy sector. The thesis consists of an introductory part and three self-contained papers. LÄS MER

7. 5. Innovation in an urban context

   Författare :Heidi Wiig Aslesen; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Regional innovation systems; Social geography; Social sciences; Head-office-corporate-service complex; KIBS-client interaction; KIBS; Urban agglomerations; Innovation activity; Socialgeografi; Samhällsvetenskaper;

   Sammanfattning : The dissertation is based on a collection of papers addressing different aspects of regional innovation systems in an urban context. The overall aim is to find explanatory factors behind the workings of regional innovation systems in urban agglomerations by looking at the innovation dynamics and innovation outcomes of the Oslo region, and secondly, by analysing how two diverse subsets of economic activity in the Oslo region (and other urban agglomerations) are able to exploit a regional innovation system (clustered manufacturing SME's and Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS).
