1. 21. Innovation for tackling grand challenges : Cleantech industry dynamics and regional context

   Författare :Hanna Martin; CIRCLE; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic geography; regional innovation systems; regional innovation policy; regional path development; innovation system failures; socio-technical transitions; grand challenges; cleantech; Transformative change; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : Grand challenges such as climate change put focus away from innovations and innovation policy as engines of economic growth towards fulfilling societal goals and sighting sustainable development. The literature on the geography of innovation has provided valuable insights on innovation activities of firms and industries and how they are positively influenced by co-location. LÄS MER

3. 22. Organizational Changes-aware Safety-centered Risk Assessment in Augmented Reality-equipped Socio-technical Systems

   Författare :Soheila Sheikh Bahaei; Barbara Gallina; Muhammad Atif Javed; Philippe Palanque; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : In the last two to three decades, organizations have extremely changed. Post normal accident theory argues about implication of new organizational changes such as digitalization which may lead to new kinds of accidents called post normal accidents. LÄS MER

4. 23. Innovation for biorefineries – Networks, narratives, and new institutions for the transition to a bioeconomy

   Författare :Fredric Bauer; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioeconomy; biorefineries; innovation; socio-technical transitions;

   Sammanfattning : The transition to a bioeconomy is dependent on transformative changes to technologies, organisations, and institutions, which jointly can be described as a socio-technical change. The thesis contributes to the understanding of how the transition is shaped by expectations on and collaborations for innovation forbiorefineries, which can produce chemicals, fuels, and materials needed in a bioeconomy.
