  3. 2. Circling the Squares : Radical Innovation and Management Control Systems in the Circular Economy

    Författare :Johan Arekrans; Sofia Ritzén; Rafael Laurenti; Johan Frishammar; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; circular economy; innovation; innovation management; sustainability; management control systems; cirkulär ekonomi; innovation; innovationsledning; hållbarhet; kontrollmekanismer; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : An economic system built upon the sale of tangible goods produced using finite resources is inherently unsustainable. The idea of a Circular Economy (CE) as a viable pathway to sustainability has gained considerable attention from academia, policymakers, and the business community. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Two facets of Innovation in Engineering Education : The interplay of Student Learning and Curricula Design

    Författare :Anders Berglund; Sofia Ritzén; Martin Edin Grimheden; Margareta Norell Bergendahl; William Ion; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Engineering education; innovation; design; learning elements; student; change; Ingenjörsutbildning; innovation; design; lärandeelement; student; förändring;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis covers two main perspectives ofinnovation; first, innovation is regarded as an outcome-related mechanism wherelearning is expressed through artefact presentations at the end of adevelopment process; second, innovation comprises a change mechanism in theprocess of student learning, influencing educators to reconsider new methods andpractices. Building on qualitative data from engineering design courses, theaim has been to explore how learning elements in engineering educationinfluence students during early-phase innovation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diffusion of Battery Electric Vehicles : The Role of Total Cost of Ownership

    Författare :Jens Hagman; Sofia Ritzèn; Johan Jansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Total cost of ownership; electric vehicles; e-taxis; vehicle salespeople; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : Due to their high efficiency, zero tailpipe emissions and possibilities of using renewable electricity, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) have been proposed as a way to alleviate the negative consequences of transport. However, as with other energy-efficient innovations market uptake or diffusion of BEVs have so far been limited. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Towards tailoring the product introduction process for low-volume manufacturing industries

    Författare :Siavash Javadi; Monica Bellgran; Jessica Bruch; Sofia Ritzen; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Sammanfattning : As the closing phase of product development projects, the product introduction process significantly influences the time to market and product quality. The rapid launching of new products to market aids manufacturing companies in avoiding crucial consequences, such as a loss of market share and revenue and the early obsolescence of products in a globalized market.
