  1. 1. Adoption of the Innovation System Concept in Sweden

    Författare :Magnus Eklund; Lars Magnusson; Mats Larsson; Dan Bäcklund; Mats Benner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; conceptual history; Quentin Skinner; innovation system concept; innovation thinking; VINNOVA; OECD; Sweden; research policy; research funding reform; Research 2000; sectoral research; university autonomy; industrial policy; industrial crisis; Economic history; Ekonomisk historia;

    Sammanfattning : In 2001 Sweden founded the government agency of VINNOVA, named after the OECD-endorsed innovation system concept. Criticising the common assumption that countries are passive and uncritical recipients of the approaches promoted by the OECD, this dissertation tries to show that Swedish actors were in fact very active and strategic as they contributed to the national adoption of the concept.

  2. 2. Decision-making and decision support connected to biogas use in Sweden

    Författare :Sofia Dahlgren; Stefan Anderberg; Thomas Magnusson; Jonas Ammenberg; Iva Ridjan Skov; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Human activities cause many sustainability challenges in the world, which need to be dealt with. One way to decrease the negative impacts related to those challenges is by replacing currently dominating technologies with better, alternative technologies. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Computational weld mechanics - Increased accuracy in fatigue assessment, distortion and residual stress analysis

    Författare :Jinchao Zhu; Zuheir Barsoum; Mansoor Khurshid; Rami Mansour; Heikki Remes; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational weld mechanics; fatigue assessment; weld distortion; residual stress; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis work is concerned with the mechanical response of welded steel structures, which are distortions, residual stresses, and fatigue. The accuracy of fatigue assessment, distortion and residual stress analysis using Computational weld mechanics (CWM) is focused. LÄS MER

  4. 4. The Dark Side of Decentralized Target Tracking : Unknown Correlations and Communication Constraints

    Författare :Robin Forsling; Fredrik Gustafsson; Gustaf Hendeby; Zoran Sjanic; Simon Julier; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Using sensors to observe real-world systems is important in many applications. A typical use case is target tracking, where sensor measurements are used to compute estimates of targets. Two of the main purposes of the estimates are to enhance situational awareness and facilitate decision-making. Hence, the estimation quality is crucial. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Financial performance measurement supporting the transition towards circular business models

    Författare :Amal Kanzari; Lars Witell; Henrik Nehler; Josefine Rasmussen; Emelie Havemo; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Financial performance measurement; Circular business models; Management accounting practices; Circular strategy; Result-oriented business models; Sufficiency solutions; Finansiell prestationsmätning; Cirkulära affärsmodeller; Styrningspraktiker; Cirkulära strategier; Resultatdrivna affärsmodeller;

    Sammanfattning : Financial performance measurement plays an important role in leading decision-makers through strategic innovation, such as business model innovation. To convey relevant information, it is important that the practices used to measure financial performance are appropriate to what is being measured. LÄS MER
