1. 1. Beyond Generative Sufficiency : On Interactions, Heterogeneity & Middle-Range Dynamics

   Författare :Martin Arvidsson; Peter Hedström; Marc Keuschnigg; Duncan Watts; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Collective dynamics; Social networks; Heterogeneity; Digital trace data; Agent-based simulation; Social mechanisms; Analytical sociology; Computational social science;

   Sammanfattning : Explaining how properties at the level of individuals translate into properties at the level of collectives is a core objective of sociology. Because the social world is characterized by complex webs of social interdependencies, establishing how micro and macro are related to one another requires a detailed understanding of how individuals are influenced by their social environments and the consequences that such influences have for the dynamics of the social process.

3. 2. Disentangling digital transformation : mechanisms of change in institutional logics

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Digital transformation; Digital innovation; Institutional logics; Critical realism; Mechanisms; Public sector;

   Sammanfattning : Digital transformation (DT) is en vogue, but vague: while consultants, policymakers and researchers stress that it is a major challenge to organizations of all kinds and sizes, how DT unfolds, or even what it entails, remains elusive. Previous research on DT frames it as a problem of strategic technology adoption or information technology (IT)-related change associated with business models and processes. LÄS MER

4. 3. Hur klass gör skillnad : Klasspositionens betydelse för rasistiska och negativt särskiljande praktiker

   Författare :Mikael Svensson; Hannah Bradby; Ekerwald Hedvig; Mattias Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; class position; racism; generative mechanisms; Marxism and Weberian class perspectives; critical realism; identity-sensitive and identity-neutral mechanisms; norm circles; negatively distinctive practices. exploiting; excluding and avoidance practices; Sociologi; Sociology;

   Sammanfattning : Previous research concludes that working-class people in general exhibit more negative attitudes towards people with immigrant backgrounds than people in more privileged class positions. However, whilst primarily drawing on quantitative methods, these studies fail to explain how class comes to matter, and even less is known about tangible everyday practices. LÄS MER

5. 4. The human side of idea screening

   Författare :Alexandre Sukhov; Peter Magnusson; Lars E. Olsson; Antti Sihvonen; Pascal Le Masson; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; comprehension; front end of innovation; generativity; idea screening; mechanisms; mixed methods research; sensemaking; Business Administration; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : In extant research, idea screening has been viewed as a gate where ideas for innovations are evaluated and selected for further development. Given that organizations have limited resources, and cannot implement all of the ideas, idea screening acts as a bottleneck during the innovation process. LÄS MER

7. 5. Biological mechanisms in creativity and flow

   Författare :Örjan De Manzano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : What would the world and our lives look like, if creativity had not evolved? Defined as the ability to have ideas and produce artifacts that are at the same time novel and meaningful, creativity is arguably one of the faculties that has given the human species adaptive ability beyond any other organism. The goal of this thesis was to elucidate some of the biological mechanisms that enable creative thinking. LÄS MER
