Abstract:

Die deutsche Unternehmenslandschaft gerät immer mehr unter Innovationsdruck. Das Voranschreiten von Digitalisierung und Digitaler Transformation sowie die damit einhergehenden Veränderungen von Dienstleistungen, Produkten und Geschäftsmodellen kann auch vom produzierenden Mittelstand nicht länger ignoriert werden (vgl. Seegy & Gleich, 2012). Dem Innovationsgedanken steht allerdings der große wirtschaftliche Erfolg des deutschen Mittelstands entgegen. Um Innovation in neue Bahnen zu lenken, arbeiten immer mehr große Unternehmen mit Start-Ups zusammen, oder gründen eigene Inkubatoren. Der Mittelstand hat sich dieser Vorgehensweise bislang noch nicht in nennenswertem Umfang angenommen. Dieser Beitrag soll erste Versuche diesbezüglich darstellen. [Aus der Einleitung.]

Abstract:

L’innovation d’expériences accroît la valeur perçue des offres et constitue un levier marketing stratégique pour les automobiles autonomes. Les jeunes chinois représentent une cible élective d’innovateurs pionniers. Nous interrogeons la co-création d’expériences de valeur et la construction de la signification de l’imaginaire expérientiel qui résulte de l’innovation d’une ambiance en écho aux besoins d’hyperesthésie des passagers. L’objectif est de comprendre comment se construit cette signification en analysant le système symbolique de l’ambiance en Chine et la structure du récit de l’imaginaire expérientiel, à l’intersection des concepts d’ambiance, d’expérience et d’imaginaire. Après un détour par les pensées chinoises et japonaises pour enrichir les concepts d’ambiance et d’atmospherics défini en marketing, nous mettons en évidence leurs systèmes d’interactions et d’énergies pour conclure que l’ambiance est un système sémiotique, décrit par la sémiotique structurale. Par une approche empirique associant la technique des collages projectifs et une approche sémiotique des descriptions narratives qui les accompagnent, nous déterminons les structures des imaginaires expérientiels des jeunes chinois dans l’automobile de demain en environnement urbain. Nous apportons une contribution nouvelle de la sémiotique au marketing de l’innovation expérientielle et à la génération d’idées. Cette approche théorique valorise les clients lead-users en tant que co-créateurs d’expériences innovantes dont les récits imaginaires constituent la matière brute créative. Elle constitue une alternative aux approches de type brainstorming pour relever les défis de l’innovation en rupture
Innovating new experiences is an innovation strategy that increases product differentiation and the perceived value of offers for the future autonomous cars. Young Chinese customers are a relevant target group of lead users to co-create those experiences. We address the co-creation of valuable experiences with targeted potential users and the building of the meaning of experiential imaginary that results from innovations (based on digital medias) echoing the need for sensory atmospherics while strolling in the city. We aim at understanding how meaning is built and first analyze the ambiance in China in terms of symbolic systems. We analyze the narrative structures of the experiential imaginary, considering the narratives as a major component of ambiance experiences and imaginary. Preliminary research on Chinese and Japanese ambiance concepts highlights a system of interactions and energies, major components of the experience of the atmospherics. We adopt the structuralism point of view of atmospherics as a semiotic system. With an empirical approach that associates projective techniques to semiotic analysis of the corresponding narratives, we describe the structural system of the experiential imaginary of young Chinese customers when imagining driving in the city in tomorrow’s cars. Semiotics offers a novel contribution of to innovation marketing and idea generation of experiential innovations. This theoretical stance valorizes the outside-in paradigm of future lead-users as co-creators of innovative experiences, whose imaginary narratives are raw materials for creativity. This approach is an alternative to brainstorming and its limits for creating disruptive innovations

Abstract:

La thèse porte sur les formes de management pertinentes de projets d’innovation à forte composante systémique, disruptive et digitale, et qui contribuent à la structuration d’un écosystème. En effet, ces types d’innovation deviennent historiquement de plus en plus nombreuses étant donnée la connexion croissante des objets/services/entreprises/pouvoirs publics et les nouvelles possibilités de business croisés qui en résultent. Les informations fournies par la littérature existante permettent aux gestionnaires de prendre des décisions stratégiques lorsque les règles du jeu sont définies par des acteurs connus, mais pas lorsque les acteurs et l'environnement sont progressivement définis. De nos jours, les responsables d'institutions privées et publiques doivent s'aligner sur des conditions internes et externes variables, des perspectives temporelles et un système de demande mal défini. Ils manquent de conseils sur la façon de procéder. Les questions de recherche émergeant d’enquêtes empiriques et théoriques sont les suivantes: 1. Comment un projet d’écosystème peut-il être géré? Existe-t-il un schéma spécifique et quelles sont les variables du pilotage de projet? 2. Quels sont les processus de pilotage les plus stratégiques pour la sélection de projets d'innovation liés à la structuration des écosystèmes? Quelles sont les variables organisationnelles et les variables médiatrices de la structuration écosystémique? 3. Quels sont les artefacts de gestion les plus adéquats pour soutenir le processus d'exploration dans le contexte d'un projet d'écosystème? Afin d’étudier les dynamiques à l’œuvre, et d’instrumenter leur pilotage, le travail de recherche porte sur le cas de la mobilité connectée, observée par la participation à trois projets, suivant les usages qui se définissent sous l’impulsion des OEMs, et sous les initiatives des usagers (véhicule autonome, connecté, électrique, partagé). Les projets choisis portent sur la diffusion de l’infrastructure de recharge rapide du véhicule électrique, la création d’un prototype de marketplace pour les données collectées par les véhicules, et le développement de services autour du véhicule autonome. Tous constituent un terrain particulièrement perturbé par le trend de connexion, obligeant à une reconfiguration des acteurs, de leurs politiques partenariales, leur business model (ex : Uber, Google Car…). D’où le besoin actuel de réactualisation des outils et des théories existantes en management de l’innovation.L’analyse des données collectées permets de répondre aux questions posées. Suite à l’Identification des management challenges spécifiques aux projets d’innovation systémique et disruptive, nous avons développé un cadre d’analyse et d’action intégrant les trois logiques théoriques sous-jacentes (platform leadership / systemic innovation, disruptive innovation / design driven innovation, digital business model). Nous avons identifié et caractérise une typologie de projet, le Proto-ecosystem project, qui permet aux acteurs la création de connaissances, compétences et liens qui participent à la structuration d’un écosystème. Nous avons identifié le processus-type par étape finalise’ à l’alignement des partenaires des projets observés et les artefacts plus performants dans cette démarche. Nous avons indiqué les limitations de cette recherche et les possibles évolutions pour l’avenir
The thesis deals with the relevant forms of management of innovation projects with a strong systemic, disruptive and digital component, which contribute to the structuring of an ecosystem. Indeed, these types of innovation are becoming more and more numerous given the growing connection of objects / services / companies / public authorities and the resulting new cross-business opportunities.The insights provided by existing literature enable managers to perform strategic decision making when rules of the game are set among known actors, but not when the actors and the environment are progressively defined. Nowadays, managers from private and public institutions need to get aligned with variable internal, external conditions, time perspectives, and ill-defined demand system; they miss guidance on how proceeding with it. The research questions emerging from empirical and theoretical investigations are the following: 1. How can an ecosystem project be managed? Is there a specific pattern, and which are the variables of project steering? 2.Which are the most strategically performing steering processes for the selection of innovation projects related to ecosystem structuring? Which are the organizational variables and the mediating variables toward eco-systemic structuring? 3. Which are the more adequate management artefacts to support the exploration process in a context of ecosystem project?In order to study the dynamics at work, and to instrumentalise their management, the research work focuses on the case of connected mobility, observed through the participation in three projects, according to the uses defined by the impetus of OEMs, and under the initiatives of users (autonomous vehicle, connected, electric, shared). The projects chosen concern the diffusion of the fast charging infrastructure of the electric vehicle, the creation of a prototype marketplace for the data collected by the vehicles, and the development of services enabled by the autonomous vehicle. All of them constitute a terrain particularly disrupted by the trend of connection, forcing a reconfiguration of actors, their partnership policies, their business model (ex: Uber, Google Car ...). Hence the current need to update existing tools and theories in innovation management. The analysis of the data collected provides elements to answer the research questions. Following the identification of management challenges specific to systemic and disruptive innovation projects, we have developed a framework of analysis and action integrating the three underlying theoretical logic (platform leadership / systemic innovation, disruptive innovation / design driven innovation, digital business model). We have identified and characterized a project typology, the Proto-ecosystem project, which enables stakeholders to create the knowledge, skills and connections that contribute to the structuring of an ecosystem. We have identified the typical process by stage finalized to the alignment of the partners of the observed projects and the more efficient artifacts in this alignment process. We have indicated the limitations of this research and the possible future evolutions

Abstract:

La thèse a pour objectif de faire un parallèle entre la situation exposée par R.K. Merton et les modes d'adaptation des individus dans la société américaine et celle des acteurs dans une organisation plus réduite dans un contexte situationnel d'intégration de systèmes d'information dans cette « micro société ». Ainsi, démontrer que dans une situation donnée, d'adhésion aux buts par les acteurs sans les moyens donnés par l'organisation, l'individu répond par une stratégie d'adaptation par l'innovation dans un environnement micro social - l'entreprise - comme il le fait dans un environnement macro social telle que la société américaine. Les résultats de l'étude ont permis d'observer huit types de dysfonctionnements dans trois catégories de bruits pour lesquels les acteurs ont adopté des stratégies d'adaptation par l'innovation micro sociale. • Les dysfonctionnements techniques : ◦ les prétextes de dysfonctionnements, ◦ les dysfonctionnements par problème d'interfaçage, ◦ les dysfonctionnements par saturation. • Les dysfonctionnements organisationnels : ◦ par saturation, ◦ par non ergonomie ◦ par contraintes des acteurs. • Les dysfonctionnements sémantiques : ◦ dysfonctionnements par manque de formation ◦ par sub-universCes huit types de dysfonctionnements issus des TIC sont traités par les acteurs des organisations en développant des stratégies d'adaptation par l'innovation dans le même esprit que dans l'étude de Merton (adhésion au but sans en avoir les moyens) en trouvant des solutions propres au contexte des organisations et des TIC dysfonctionnantes
The thesis aims to draw a parallel between the situation exposed by RK Merton and the adaptation modes of individuals in American society and that of actors in a smaller organization in a situational context of integration of information systems in this "micro society".Thus, to demonstrate that in a given situation, of adherence to the goals by the actors without the means given by the organization, the individual responds with a strategy of adaptation through innovation in a micro social environment - the company - as it does in a macro social environment such as American society.The results of the study made it possible to observe eight types of dysfunction in three categories of noise for which the actors adopted adaptation strategies through micro social innovation.- Technical malfunctions:o the pretexts of dysfunctions,o malfunctions due to interfacing problem,o dysfunctions by saturation.- Organizational dysfunctions:o by saturation,o by non-ergonomicso by constraints of the actors.- Semantic dysfunctions:o dysfunctions due to lack of trainingo by sub-universeThese eight types of dysfunction resulting from ICT are treated by the actors of the organizations by developing adaptation strategies through innovation in the same spirit as in the study of Merton (adherence to the goal without having the means) by finding solutions specific to the context of dysfunctional organizations and ICTs

Abstract:

Il progetto Smart Swap Building nasce in collaborazione con la Piattaforma Costruzioni della Rete Alta Tecnologia dell’Emilia-Romagna come progetto strategico in risposta alla crisi che sta duramente colpendo il settore delle costruzioni e che richiede l’innesco di nuove logiche di rigenerazione utili all’intera filiera, volte alla riqualificazione e alla riduzione del consumo di suolo. La recente contrazione del mercato immobiliare ha generato una significativa quantità di patrimonio invenduto. Il tasso di assorbimento delle nuove costruzioni pari all’80% nel 2007 è sceso fino al 35% nel 2012. Al termine del 2014, il numero complessivo delle abitazioni invendute si attestava oltre 540mila unità in Italia, per il 26% di nuova costruzione. Gli investimenti nel settore della ristrutturazione ormai raggiungono e superano quelli per le nuove costruzioni. Parallelamente lo stock immobiliare residenziale è composto per il 70% da edifici antecedenti al 1970 e necessita di un adeguamento a nuovi livelli di efficienza energetica, sicurezza sismica, inclusività e comfort abitativo. Il termine swap, mutuato dalla finanza, indica lo scambio di flussi tra due controparti: con il concetto di Smart Swap Building si vuole perciò intendere l’utilizzo del patrimonio edilizio invenduto come alloggio temporaneo per gli abitanti di aree nelle quali si intraprendano programmi di riqualificazione dell’esistente. Il principale obiettivo di questa ricerca è di valutare la fattibilità di adozione di strumenti informativo-rappresentativi avanzati nel workflow Smart Swap Building. Tali strumenti infatti permettono non solo di condurre in modo trasparente le fasi progettuali al fine di realizzare elaborati tradizionali corretti, ma si estende all’intero processo edilizio, mettendo in relazione elementi compositivi, tecnologici e strutturali con le fasi di costruzione e cantiere (BIM 4D), stima dei costi (BIM 5D), certificazione (BIM 6D) e gestione del ciclo di vita (BIM 7D + CAFM). Il progetto Smart Swap Building, integrando la forte esigenza di riqualificazione dell’esistente, nella logica di raggiungimento degli obiettivi europei di riduzione del consumo di suolo nonché di risparmio energetico, di risorse e di adeguamento del comfort abitativo, e un patrimonio immobiliare di nuova costruzione non utilizzato, necessita di opportuni strumenti informativi a supporto dei complessi processi decisionali, in grado di integrare differenti competenze, a diverse scale e in diversi momenti del ciclo di vita degli edifici. Lo strumento rappresentativo è ormai parte integrante del processo progettuale e, poiché le innovazioni produttive sono sempre collegate ai processi edilizi, dalla progettazione, al cantiere, fino alla gestione, diviene anch’esso elemento da valutare per definire la qualità progettuale ed effettuare ragionamenti sulla sostenibilità dell’opera ben più consapevoli ed approfonditi. In conclusione, il principale prodotto della ricerca si configura nella redazione di linee guida per l’impiego di strumenti informativo-rappresentativi per la gestione del workflow Smart Swap Building così come della loro validazione su casi applicativi e divulgazione online.
The main challenge of Smart Swap Building project, carried out in collaboration with Aster by Construction Platform of Emilia-Romagna High Technology Network, is to identify possible solutions to the crisis that is severely affecting the construction industry, through new approaches to urban regeneration based on housing refurbishment and soil consumption reduction. The recent downturn in the housing market has generated a significant amount of unsold assets. The absorption rate of 80% in 2007 fell to 35% in 2012. At the end of 2014, the total number of unsold houses was over 540 thousand units in Italy, 26% of them were new constructions. Investments in refurbishment now exceed those for new buildings. Actually the 70% of residential housing stock was built before 1970 and it needs to be adapted to new levels of energy efficiency, seismic safety, inclusiveness and comfort. Investments in refurbishment now exceed those for new buildings. The swap term, borrowed from finance field, indicates the flow exchange between two counterparts: Smart Swap Building wants to use the unsold housing stock as temporary accommodation for the inhabitants of areas in which a renewal program take place. The overall objective of this doctoral research is to evaluate the feasibility of BIM tools adoption in the Smart Swap Building workflow. These electronic tools not only allow a transparent design phase but covers the whole building process, relating technological and structural elements with construction scheduling (4D), cost estimation (5D), certification (6D) and management of the life cycle (7D + CAFM). Trying to meet European challenges of soil consumption and emission reduction, energy efficiency and living comfort, and involving the growing unsold housing stock, the Smart Swap Building project, aimed at the refurbishment of existing housing stock, has the strong need to define a set of advanced information tools to support the complex decision-making process, integrating different skills in different stages of the building life cycle. The representative tool is an integrated part of the design process and because product innovations are strictly connected to the building processes, from design to construction, to management, it becomes itself an element of project quality, allowing more sustainable and aware choices. In conclusion, the main output of the research will be guidelines aimed at digital informative tools adoption in the Smart Swap Building workflow management, and their validation through test-beds and online dissemination.

Abstract:

In today’s highly digital world a great undertaking for organizations is the transformation of value processes from the classical analog to the modern digital. How and when does this transformation unfold and could digital innovations within sales processes be a driving force for this transformation. For companies striving to achieve such change how and when transformation is possible is an important question to answer. Drawing on extent research through Vial (2019) and Skog (2019) on digital transformation, we aim to answer this question with a multiple case study design covering five different organizations with ties to a consulting firm that provides digital innovation in the form of Search Engine Optimization, web-site development and sales process development. Using the assumption that the disruption has already happened and that companies need to be ambidextrous we analyze our empirical material through key constructs in Vial’s (2019) process model of digital transformation to get a broader understanding of how and when these innovation processes facilitates responses to environmental change by resulting in digital transformation. We find that within some of these organizations a digital transformation has happened through the innovation process, but we also find that some companies are hindered in the transformation by external variables

Abstract:

La première moitié du XXIe siècle est marquée par le phénomène profondément disruptif des innovations digitales et de leur psychosociologie, élargi à des game changers technologiques, situationnels et socioculturels, tous caractérisant la civilisation numérique. Cette recherche doctorale porte sur l’émergence des nouvelles compétences des managers dans le contexte de la civilisation numérique. Elle propose de compléter les matrices existantes de hard et soft skills par des nouvelles compétences, appelées compétences d’adaptation, spécialement conçues pour la réactivité de l’entreprise aux changements économiques, technologiques, écologiques, sociologiques et politiques, du monde extérieur dans le contexte de la civilisation numérique. Cette recherche exclusivement qualitative, visant à aller à l’encontre des idées reçues pour proposer un apport utile à la transformation des organisations, s’est organisée en deux temps. D’abord, une phase exploratoire a conduit à poser des hypothèses à partir notamment de l’expertise et des intuitions d’un groupe d’experts et de mon expérience terrain. Puis, une phase confirmatoire a visé à vérifier l’originalité et la solidité des hypothèses et des intuitions directement auprès des acteurs clés. Elle a produit un inventaire de dix-huit « bouleverseurs » (« game changers ») de la civilisation numérique et un modèle de vingt « compétences d’adaptation » des managers. En interrogeant les référentiels de compétences des managers hérités du passé sur leur capacité à accompagner les transformations d’organisations, le projet professionnel de cette recherche est de contribuer à sensibiliser les entreprises, leurs DRH, les dirigeants de l’enseignement supérieur, les formateurs et enseignants en gestion, sur la nécessité de faire évoluer la hiérarchie des compétences managériales requises pour le fonctionnement efficace des organisations et notamment des entreprises pour les prochaines décennies du XXIe siècle. Ce travail de recherche veut inviter le monde professionnel et universitaire à poursuivre la transformation d’un modèle de compétences managériales plus adapté à l’écosystème dans lequel les entreprises et organisations devront vivre et se développer au fil des prochaines décennies
The beginning of the 21st century has experienced a revolution due to digital innovations. This revolution has provoked technological, situational and sociocultural changes creating our digital civilization at the same time. This doctoral thesis focuses on the new emerging skills of managers in the context of digital civilization. The purpose of my research was to complement the current “hard and soft” skills with skills of a new nature. I have designated them as: “adaptive skills”. Thanks to these, companies are to react better to economic, technological, sustainable, sociological, and political changes in their environment. This qualitative research aimed to help the transformation of organizations by disproving preconceived ideas. It consists of two parts. Firstly, I came to a hypothesis from an exploration of debates with an expert group and my own experience. Secondly, I checked the robustness of that hypothesis by involving stakeholders like digital innovators, transformation leaders and operational managers. The research has resulted in a model with 18 “game changers” and 20 “adaptive skills”. This research has shown that current competency models are not fully adapted to the context of digital civilization (in the first 50 years of the 21st century). They don't take new trends and current game changers into account. It shows why Human Resources departments should rethink their managerial skills approach by integrating the “adaptive skills”. In a fast-paced environment, this research also invites management school Deans to take those new skills into account in the preparation of the future managers

Abstract:

The objective of this exploratory thesis has been to study how leaders incorporate innovations into the business processes with the help of technical solutions and their competencies. The study takes into consideration the best practices of consulting companies, multinational manufacturing companies, and digitally creative consultant companies where leaders are able to bring innovation with the help of technical solutions. It deals with questions on what technical solutions help leaders to implement innovations, and also, what are the skills and competencies required by leaders to bring innovation with the help of digitalization. The findings of the research aim to develop a profound understanding on the concepts of leadership, innovation and also digitalization in the modern era. The thesis was carried out in light of semi- structured interviews, to understand the study areas, and proceed further with the data processing, empirical findings, analysis and conclusions. Owing to the rapid development in technologies, and the innovative ways of working, organisations lose their competitive advantages with the growing times if their leadership doesn’t evolve with the advancement that prevails. There has also been previous literature on how digitalization helps leadership to bring innovation and transformation within business organizations, however, there has been lack of studies and research gap to show that leadership has its extensive role to bring innovation within organizations with the help of digitalization and leadership competencies. Therefore, this master thesis worked to combine previous research on leadership, digitalization along with the modern insights based on empirical data. The research has used one qualitative method of semi-structured interview, revealing insightful findings on the data collected for our thesis. Moreover, this Master thesis will serve as a foundation for the future studies and research within the areas of leadership, innovation and digitalization.

Abstract:

Syfte: Idag är intresset för digitalisering och effektivisering inom byggbranschen stort.Trots intresset har många aktörer inte helt övergått till digitalt arbetssätt, inte minstbesiktningsmän. Genom studien kan trösklarna för utebliven digitalisering analyseraspå individnivå. Då digitalt arbetssätt implementeras möts förändringen först av de erfarenheter och kompetenser som besiktningsmännen innehar. Vidare filtrerasarbetssättet genom innovationsteorins egenskaper och slutligen beslutar individernaifall förändringen accepteras eller avvisas. Syftet med studien var att öka förståelsenkring hur besiktningsmän upplever digitalt arbetssätt på individnivå med utgångspunktfrån olika arbetslivserfarenheter. Genom studien kunde även ekonomiska konsekvenseri samband med digitalt arbetssätt lyftas fram. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ inriktning. Inledningsvis genomfördesen litteraturstudie som låg till grund för undersökt problematik. Studiens kvalitativainriktning baserades på tolv intervjuer och två observationer. Intervjuernaresponderades av tolv besiktningsmän från WSP Sverige AB. Besiktningsmännen hadeolika arbetslivserfarenheter och arbetade på olika orter. De kvalitativa intervjuerna lågtill grund för att kunna besvara studiens tre frågeställningar på djupet. Resultat: Studiens resultat påvisar skillnader i användandet av digitalt arbetssätt medavseende på olika arbetslivserfarenheter, som ligger till grund för hur digitalt arbetssättmottags. Dock varierar skillnaderna mest mellan olika åldrar och kontor i Sverige. Föratt effektivisera besiktningsmäns arbetssätt måste digitaliseringen accepteras ochmottagandet måste förstås på individnivå. Med tydlig kursriktning, struktur ochutbildningsinsatser kan innovationen digitalt arbetssätt spridas. Genom insatser kringdigitaliseringen fördelar kan besiktningsmän som avvisat digitaliseringen kan kommaöver sina trösklar. Att arbeta med surfplattor har stark koppling till effektivarearbetsprocesser. Det är till förtagens fördel att vara digitaliserat för att vara attraktivaoch konkurrenskraftiga på marknaden.Studiens slutsatser landar i ett antal rekommendationer för att utveckla besiktningsmänsarbetssätt. Rekommendationerna omfattar utbildningsinsatser från interna och externaföreläsare, att låta mindre digitalt erfarna besiktningsmän följa med kollegor somarbetar helt digitalt samt att utveckla dagens affärsmodell för optimal ekonomisk vinstvid effektivare besiktningar. Konsekvenser: Digitalt arbetssätt bidrar till effektivare besiktningsprocesser som i sintur leder till snabbare återkoppling till kund. Effektiviseringen bidrar även till flerfrigjorda timmar. Det uppstår dock problematik att debitera per timme och sedan införaen innovation som frigör timmar. För att ta till vara på de frigjorda timmarna och skapastörre intäkter bör företaget utveckla dagens affärsmodell för besiktningar.
Purpose: Today, the interest in digitalizing and efficiency in the construction industryis increasing. Despite the interest, many actors have not completely switched to digitalworking methods, not least surveyors. Through the study, these thresholds forinadequate digitalization can be analyzed at an individual level. When implementingdigital work methods, the innovation first meets the experiences and competencies ofthe surveyors. Furthermore, the method is filtered through the characteristics ofinnovation theory and finally, individuals decide if the change is accepted or rejected.The aim of the study was to increase understanding of how surveyors experience digitalworking methods at an individual level based on different work experience. The studyalso highlighted the economic consequences in connection to digital working methods. Method: The study was conducted with a qualitative focus. Initially, a literature studywas conducted which was the base of the investigated issue. The qualitative focus onthe study based on twelve interviews surveyors from WSP Sverige AB and twoobservations. The surveyors had different work experiences and worked in differentlocations in Sweden. The qualitative interviews formed the basis for answering thestudy’s three study questions. Findings: The study’s findings show differences in the use of digital working methodswith regard to different work experience, which underlie the way in which digital workmethods are received. However, the differences vary most between ages and offices inSweden. In order to make the surveyors working methods more efficient, digitalizationmust be accepted and the reception must be understood on an individual level. Withdistinct course orientation, structure and educational efforts, the innovation digital workmethods can be spread. Working with tablets has a strong connection to more efficientwork process. It is for the benefit of being digitized to be more attractive andcompetitive in the market.The conclusions of the study results in a number of recommendations to develop thesurveyor’s working methods. The recommendations includes education about thedigitalization by internal and external lecturers, allowing less digitally experiencedsurveyors to follow colleagues who work in a completely digital wat and to developtoday’s business model for optimal financial gain through more efficient inspections. Implications: Digital working methods contributes to a more efficient workingprocesses for surveyors, which leads to a quicker and more distinct feedback to theirclients. The efficient work also contributes to increased released working hours.However, the released working hours are chargeable. Furthermore, it creates problemswhile charge per hours and introduce an innovation that releases chargeable hours. Thecompanies should develop their business model, to make use of these hours.

Abstract:

Affärsmodellinnovation innebär att en affärsmodell uppdateras och utvecklas för att vara relevant och samspelt med konkurrensen. Det finns flertal forskare som listar olika koncept som organisationer behöver ha med i sina ffärsmodellinnovation för att den ska bli framgångsrik. Men hur blir det när ett bolag försöker sig på affärsmodellinnovation och skapar ett digitalt verktyg för samverkan i en digital omogen bransch som byggbranschen? Syftet med denna studie är därmed att utforska utmaningar kring affärsmodellsinnovation som fokuserar på utveckling av digitala verktyg för byggbranschen och metoden som används är litteraturstudie samt semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studien resulterar i slutsatsen att det inte räcker med koncepten som forskarna har kommit fram till vad gäller affärsmodellinnovation utan att ett bolag som ska skapar ett digitala verktyg behöver även skapa sig en insikt om hela affärsmodellinnovationensekosystem för att nå fram till sina kunder och partners i en digitalt omogen bransch.

Abstract:

Syfte Det övergripande syftet med studien var att öka förståelsen för hur digitalt mogna företag utformar och bedriver arbetet i de digitala enheterna. Studien har undersökt den del av organisationen som direkt eller indirekt arbetar med att utveckla digitala innovationer (digitala enheten) mot externa kunder, och har nyttjat konceptet verksamhetsmodell för att uppnå ett systemperspektiv i förståelsen. Syftet adresseras genom följande forskningsfråga: Vilka gemensamma faktorer finns hos digitalt mogna företags digitala enheter? Metod Studien är av explorativ karaktär med en induktiv forskningsansats, där en kvalitativt flerfallsstudie genomförts. För att studera digitalt mogna företag har urvalet skett med hjälp av digitala experter och tidigare forskning på digital mognad. Primärdata bestod av 21 semi-strukturerade intervjuer med informanter från 8 digitalt mogna företag med god insikt i respektive verksamhet, samt 4 intervjuer med experter inom digitalisering och verksamhetsutveckling. Sekundärdata bestod av publik information så som årsrapporter, presentationer och hemsidor m.fl.. Resultat Resultatet visar att det finns många gemensamma faktorer mellan de studerade verksamheterna som kan utgöra en förklaring till varför de är framstående inom digital innovation och mognad. Totalt har 22 gemensamma teman identifierats som till betydande grad återspeglats i de studerade verksamheterna. De identifierade teman aggregeras till ett förslag på 4 generiska designprinciper för hur verksamheter kan utformas och bedrivas för att främja digital innovation. Därtill presenteras ett ramverk för verksamhetsmodellering med fokus på digitala enheter. Teoretiska implikationer Det teoretiska bidrag som studier tillför är fyrfaldigt: (1) Studien skapar större insikter kring digitalt mogna företag och bekräftar indirekt mycket av tidigare forskning på digital mognad (2) utvecklar och konkretiserar konceptet verksamhetsmodell, (3) introducerar ett ramverk för verksamhetsmodellering i allmänhet och med generiska designprinciper för främjandet av digital innovation i synnerhet samt (4) bidrar till tvärdisciplinär forskning genom ett holistiskt perspektiv. Praktiska implikationer Det praktiska bidrag som studien skapar är kunskap kring verksamhetsdesign för samtida företagsledare i allmänhet, och i synnerhet för ledare som arbetar kring digital innovation. Ramverket och designprinciperna kan bidra till att företagsledare lättare kan skapa en överblick av verksamheten och aktivt utforma den för att stödja affärsmodellen och i förlängningen främja strategin.
Purpose The overall purpose of the study is to develop the understanding of how digitally maturing companies design and operates the digital unit. The study has examined the organization within the companies that directly or indirectly develop digital offerings (the digital unit) towards external customers , and has utilized the holistic concept of an operating model in order to do so. The purpose is addressed by the following research question: What common factors exist between the digital units of digitally maturing companies? Method The study is exploratory in its nature with an inductive approach, in which a qualitative multiple case study was conducted. In order to study digitally matured companies, the selection process involved the help of digital experts as well as previous studies on digital maturity. In total, 21 semi-structured interviews with informants from 8 digitally matured companies were conducted, together with 4 interviews with experts in digitalization and business development. The informants had a good understanding of respective organization, and the data was complemented with publicly available information such as reports, presentations and websites. Results The results show that there are many common factors between the studied organizations that can help explain as to why they are prevalent in digital innovation and maturity. In total, 22 common themes were identified between the organizations’ digital units by studying their operating models. The identified themes were aggregated into a proposal of 4 generic design principles for how the digital units could be designed in order to prosper digital innovation. In addition, a framework for operations modelling is presented with a focus on digital units. Theoretical implications The theoretical implications from the study is primarely fourfolded: (1) the study develops the knowledge of digitally matured companies and concretizes the result from previous studies. (2) The study develops the concept of an operating model by identifying and bridging 6 academic fields. (3) The study presents a suggested framework for modelling the operations in general, and particularly for the design of the digital unit. (4) The study support a multidisciplinary approach to studying best praxis from a holistic perspective. Practical implications The results from the study can serve as inspiration when designing organizations for today’s the managers in general, and for the managers within digital innovation in particular. The suggested framework and design principles can facilitate the process of understanding and designing a synergetic operation that support the business model and strategy.

Abstract:

The permeation of digital technology into all aspects of the business world has created unstoppable momentum in the generation of novel products, services, business processes and business models, marking the prosperity of digital innovation. In order to succeed in the digital age, it is important for companies to understand the underlying logic of the generative power of digital innovation. Evidence is accumulating that this generative power arises from the distributed nature of digital innovation, which is often generated through a process of harvesting distributed innovation opportunities. However, there is limited understanding of how actors proactively appropriate distributed innovation opportunities to generate digital innovation. To this end, in-depth studies were conducted on each of the four stages of the digital innovation process (discovery, development, diffusion and impact). Each study contributes new understandings to the digital innovation literature in terms of how actors take advantage of unique characteristics of digital technology to tap into distributed innovation opportunities in order to conceive a digital innovation, embody it in an outstanding form, promote its adoption, and surpass the original plan and gain extra benefits. The studies together provide a more comprehensive understanding of the appropriation of distributed innovation opportunities in digital innovation. Through the four studies, this thesis highlights the importance of shifting away from the “generativity as a concomitant result” mindset toward investigating the underlying logic of actors’ proactive appropriation of distributed innovation opportunities.

Abstract:

Le développement des technologies de l'information permet aux entreprises et aux consommateurs de travailler ensemble pour développer des innovations. Les entreprises s'appuient sur ce mouvement de co-création en ligne à travers des plateformes de génération d'idées. Les mécanismes sous-jacents des interactions utilisateurs/entreprises deviennent un sujet majeur au niveau théorique et pratique. Ce travail doctoral vise à mieux comprendre les déterminants des innovations co-créées par desconsommateurs. Dans un premier article, nous étudions les acteurs qui contribuent aux innovations externes, et principalement les lead-users dans un contexte de crowdsourcing afin de proposer une typologie de ces consommateurs spécifiques. Deuxièmement, nous explorons en profondeur la notion de performance de l'outil et identifions que ces outils, tels que les plateformes d’idéation et les logiciels open source, doivent regrouper certaines conditions pour augmenter la capacité innovantedes entreprises. Enfin, nous nous concentrons sur l'ensemble du processus de création d’innovations et proposons un modèle théorique basé sur les théories de la résolution de problèmes et les need-solution pairs. Les résultats obtenus dans ce travail doctoral permettent de contribuer à la littérature traitant du crowdsourcing et de l’innovation utilisateurs mais également de répondre à des questions managériales sur la recherche virtuelle d’innovations. Le recours à ces trois niveaux d'analyse (acteurs, outils et méthodes) est essentiel aux entreprises pour intégrer une vision globale de l’environnement extérieur et le succès d’une stratégie d’innovation ouverte. Les trois articles de ce travail permettent d’aider les entreprises à augmenter leur niveau de co-création avec des lead-users. Cette recherche offre également une meilleure compréhension de la conception des outils technologiques pour maximiser l’échange et la création d’idées innovantes par les consommateurs. Le modèle théoriqueproposé permet d’optimiser la recherche de solutions innovantes par le biais d’un processus adapté de formulation du problème
Advance in information technology allows companies and customers working together to developinnovations. Firms widely rely on this online co-creation movement through idea generation toolkitsand the underlying mechanisms of user-firms interactions become a challenging topic to investigatefor both theory and practice. Across three articles, we aim to better understand user innovationsdeterminants. In the first article proposition, we build on lead user literature to investigate the actorscontributing to external innovations. Second, we explore the notion of tool performance as mean tofacilitate innovation. We identify that online tools, such as ideation platform and Open SourceSoftware need to aggregate several conditions leading to promote innovative outputs. Finally, wefocus on the overall process allowing firms to entirely externalize the idea generation process andmethods to improve this process. We propose a theoretical model built on problem-solving and needsolution pairs theories. Overall, the findings extend both user innovation and crowdsourcing literatureand provide practical implications for virtual search for innovations. The investigations of three levelof analysis: actors, tools and methods is critical. The three articles of our thesis could help firms toincrease interactions with expert users. This research could also provide better understanding on howto design ideation toolkits to maximize innovative context. Finally, our theoretical model might helpfirms to optimize the search for innovative solutions via an adapted process for problem formulation

Abstract:

Digitization of analogue everyday artifacts, i.e. when physical products are equipped with digital capabilities, has a profound impact on today’s society. Some examples of these digital innovations aimed at consumer markets are the “connected” car, the digitized television set, and in the near future, digitized IKEA furniture. Digital innovation provides endless opportunities for providing value adding products and services. However, in digital innovation there is a need to find new ways of organizing network activities, i.e. activities such as e.g. production and translation of knowledge and enrollment of actors. These activities need to embrace and build on the networked aspects and the complexity inherent to digital innovation. This requires network activities that can overcome challenges with the ambiguous and messy characteristics of digital innovation. In this thesis, I propose that the theoretical perspective of network orchestration can enlighten fruitful ways to address challenges that are encountered when organizing network activities in digital innovation. Inspired by practical challenges with digital innovation, as well as contemporary calls for research within IS, this thesis investigates: How can network activities be orchestrated in digital innovation? Two cases of digital innovation aimed at consumer markets are studied. The first case concerns the digitization of the newspaper. The second case regards the digitization of door locks. Literature about digital innovation is used to understand the context of the studied phenomenon. Furthermore, theories about network orchestration as well as activities in innovation are used as a theoretical framework to help answer the research question. The thesis is based on an interpretative perspective where a multi-method approach has been applied to address the research question. The contribution is divided into two different parts. The first part presents four categories of empirically derived network activities that address socio-technical challenges with organizing digital innovation. The second part is a proposed model detailing orchestration of network activities in digital innovation. The model is based around the four suggested categories of network activities: (1) Supporting flexible innovation networks, (2) Production and translation of layered architectural knowledge, (3) Addressing heterogeneous user communities, and (4) Harnessing generativity to leverage value. The categories of network activities can be viewed as building blocks for the orchestration process. By emphasizing both a proactive and a reactive way of orchestrating digital innovation, the model proposes a means for organizations to address the ambiguity and complexity of digital innovation.

Abstract:

Private companies that provide telemedicine have been ahead of the public healthcare with regards to treating patients that do not require physical care. With digital innovation the telemedicine companies have attracted a specific group of patients. By using the current model for financial compensation, the telemedicine companies are a perceived competition by the public healthcare. This study presents the counties´ views on telemedicine and private companies that operate in the same field. This study also presents the counties views on issues with the current development of telemedicine and other digital services in public healthcare. The results indicate that the current development is insufficient and is in need of a different approach. The main focus should shift towards developing a platform instead of developing healthcare services

Abstract:

The postindustrial market increasingly demands service infused products to add more value to the customer in order to be competitive. Much research regarding digitalized services indicates that companies have to be innovative in order to compete on the market. However, companies within different industries face different challenges with digital service development. This study has been conducted because there are little known about the opportunities and the challenges different industries faces with a globalized market. Our research question is what the challenges are and what opportunities does strategic digital service development entails for companies. To be able to understand digitalized services and to answer our research question about these challenges and opportunities we used a qualitative method, gathered data through interviews and literature studies. This study contributes a faceted understanding of digital service development within the electricity industry and an approach to strategic efforts at digital service development and what challenges and opportunities it entails.

Title: Real estate companies' acceptance of digital innovations - A study focused on the impact and effect of digital mailboxes on real estate companies. Subject: Bachelor's thesis in business administration- specialization real estate company acceptance of digital innovations, 15 HP. Problem statements: What does the acceptance of digital innovations look like in real estate companies with a main focus on apartment buildings? What impact and effect does the implementation of digital mailboxes in apartment buildings have from the perspective of real estate companies? Purpose: The aim of the thesis is to examine from a broad perspective real estate companies' views on the implementation of digital innovations in apartment buildings. More specifically, the implementation of digital mailboxes and opportunities in the development of postal market. The goal is to spread the knowledge and hopefully form the basis for future decisions in the area. Method: This study uses an abductive research approach, with an inductive core. The studybegan by identifying a current research area. The researchers collected empirical material and examined scientific articles to identify a research gap and create a problem formulation. To answer the research question, the researchers collected primary data through qualitative interviews with seven selected stakeholders at seven different companies. The survey is limited to five different respondents at different real estate companies. These five were supplemented with interviews with the Swedish post and telecom agency, as well as interviews with the authority for digital administration. Conclusion: The real estate companies place great focus and a lot of resources on digitization and digital innovations. However, it appears that the real estate companies have difficulty predicting the results of the projects. A clear understanding needs to be created about how the implementation affects the staff, why the system is implemented and all about the implementation benefits. It turns out that the area around digital mailboxes and digitization of letters is something that has not been discussed whether externally or internally within the real estate companies. The study shows clear incentives and motivation from the real estate companies to be part of the future development. The study shows that increased cooperation between the postal sector and the real estate companies, increases the opportunity to take advantage of benefits and reduce shortcomings caused by the digital structural transformation that the postal market is facingtoday.

There has recently been a dramatic increase in demand for healthcare innovation. In this thesis we present a framework for analyzing a digital health innovation ecosystem in the US. Our framework consists of four key activities: innovation generation, entrepreneurial team formation, early company incubation, and validation of the core innovation. Throughout the paper we analyze the existing literature around innovation in order to motivate the design of the framework. The framework is applied to three key innovation ecosystems in the US; Silicon Valley, Boston, and New York as a way to illustrate how this tool can be used to analyze digital health ecosystems in order to understand what key areas exist for improvement. We end the thesis with a discussion of the various programmatic ideas that might be used to bolster each category as well as a discussion of adapting this type of ecosystem development to the natural capacity of a region.

Abstract:

La presente tesi descrive l'impatto del fintech nel mondo nel factoring analizzando quindi il factoring digitale. La tesi porta come esempio concreto la piattaforma di digital factoring e digital lending "Credimi" e attraverso questi dati cerca di verificare l'esistenza di alcuni fattori che influenzano l'utilizzo di questa piattaforma. L'obiettivo è quello di determinare se il digital factoring rappresenta un sostituto o un complemento del factoring tradizionale. Dalle analisi emerge che il factoring digitale non offre tutti i vantaggi delle banche tradizionali e tende ad escludere alcune aziende, come ad esempio le start-up, le ditte individuali o quelle che hanno crediti verso la pubblica amministrazione. Queste aziende devono quindi fare riferimento al factoring tradizionale. Anche quest'ultimo non offre i servizi a tutte le aziende: ad esempio quelle piccole hanno più difficoltà di accesso perchè le operazioni risultano più costose. Inoltre, le banche tradizionali hanno piattaforme digitali più complesse e quindi non riescono ad offrire i vantaggi di facilità di utilizzo e di rapidità come i canali interamente digitali. Di conseguenza, fintech players e banche tradizionali dovrebbero collaborare in modo tale che tutte le aziende possano usufruire dei vantaggi del factoring. La tesi, infine, analizza brevemente l'impatto dell'emergenza dovuta al Covid-19 su Credimi dimostrando ancora una volta che la collaborazione con le banche tradizionali si è rivelata fondamentale.

Abstract Title: The old generation and the New World - A qualitative content analysis of media usage of the older generation Keywords:Digital natives, digital immigrants, diffusion of innovation, content analysis This study has its focus on how the older generation looks at today's media society and the use of today's media. Through a method of qualitative content analysis based on questionnaires, the aim is to examine what the older generation thinks about today's media, how they use them, and whether there are differences in groups according to age and previous work. The study selected theories bases on Marc Prenskys idea of digital natives, digital immigrants and Everett M Rogers book on "Diffusion of Innovation". These theories take up the difference on digital natives and digital immigrants and the spread of new technological ideas takes place through communication over different channels in time among causes people in a social system. The result of the study shows that many older people are good at making use of today's media, but also that many may feel alienation of today's media society. Development has proceeded rapidly in recent years and for the older generation it's sometimes hard to keep up. The conclusion of the study is that the older generation may need more help to discover how today's media can facilitate everyday life and enrich it with more communication despite the fact that it takes place through a screen.

Abstract:

La digitalisation se définit comme la reformulation des modèles d’affaires en industrialisant les processus de faible valeur ajoutée. Le produit ou le service ainsi digitalisé est délivré à l’aide d’un artefact numérique de type plateforme ou d’un code informatique afin de désintermédier un modèle d’affaires traditionnel et ainsi gagner en performance. La digitalisation contribue à transformer les usages des utilisateurs. La digitalisation conduit à une transformation organisationnelle profonde, qui se déploie sur deux niveaux : technologique d’une part, évoquant la capacité de transformation et de maturité digitale, et organisationnelle d’autre part, renvoyant aux aspects stratégiques et opérationnels de la transformation. La digitalisation est apparue avec l’avénement au Web 2.0. Le glissement du e-commerce du début des années 2000 vers le e-Business caractérise la transformation digitale des modèles d’affaires traditionnels. Il en résulte de la part des entrepreneurs une demande importante d’outils et de prescriptions afin d’être accompagnés dans cette transformation. La posture de l’entrepreneur et la notion de modèle d’affaires sont donc centrales dans cette thèse pour analyser les modalités de création et de captation de valeur telles que celles associées aux plateformes digitales. La problématique générale peut donc être formulée comme suit : « Comment l’entrepreneur digitalise-t-il son business model ? ».La digitalisation est un phénomène doublement complexe, articulant des enjeux en termes de systèmes d’informations et de conduite du changement. La thèse contribue à la littérature sur la digitalisation et les business models en développant un modèle de transformation dénommée Business Model Digital Dynamique (BMD²). Elle s’attache également à contribuer, en termes managériaux, à proposer une méthodologie d’accompagnement opérationnel, facilement actionnable sur le terrain : le DSIFAT (Découverte, Sensibilisation, Intégration, Formation, Accompagnement, Transformation). Ainsi accompagné, l’entrepreneur peut conduire la transformation de son Business Model avec méthode et succès
Digitalization is defined as the reformulation of business models by industrializing low value-added processes. The product or service thus digitized is delivered using a platform-type digital artefact or computer code in order to disintermediate a traditional business model and thus gain in performance. Digitization is helping to transform the uses of users. Digitalization leads to a deep organizational transformation, which takes place on two levels : technological on the one hand, evoking the capacity for transformation and digital maturity, and organizational on the other hand, referring to the strategic and operational aspects of the transformation.Digitization first appeared with the advent of Web 2.0. The shift from e-commerce in the early 2000s to e-Business characterized the digital transformation of traditional business models. This results in an important demand on the part of entrepreneurs for tools and prescriptions in order to be supported in this transformation. The posture of the entrepreneur and the concept of business model are therefore central in this thesis to analyze the methods of creation and capture of value such as those associated with digital platforms. The general problem can therefore be formulated as follows : « How does the entrepreneur digitize his business model ? ».Digitization is a doubly complex phenomenon, articulating challenges in terms of information systems and change management. The thesis contributes to the literature on digitalization and business models by developing a transformation model called Dynamic Digital Business Model (BMD²). It also endeavors to contribute, in managerial terms, to propose an operational support methodology, easily actionable in the field: the DSIFAT (Discovery, Awareness, Integration, Training, Support, Transformation). Thus supported, the entrepreneur can lead the transformation of his Business Model with method and success

Abstract:

Innovation has become of increased importance to a company’ competitive advantage during the past years. Over the years, the importance of services has increased. Information and Tele- Communication Technologies (ICT) have become a supportive role in almost any type of industry. The ICT market is continuously changing at a very high pace. In order to cope with these changes, companies active within the IT and software industry needs to unceasingly maintain their solutions up to date. This thesis provides a case study on Digital Marketing AB, a small company active in the ITindustry, delivering tools for planning, sending, and analyzing digital marketing campaigns. Digital Marketing AB operates within a market that is changing rapidly. As new technologies emerge, existing technologies becomes known, and low-cost versions of the present technology appears in the market, eroding revenues from more differentiated services. Furthermore, if the companies are small, and do not have the same financial resources as bigger actors, it is important for these companies to rely on other types of strengths. Companies also need to make sure that they are able to sell the new technology in a way that is attractive to their customers, but at the same time profitable for the company. In other words, they need to integrate the new technology in a business model. The thesis concludes that Digital Marketing AB needs to develop new technology with regards to a specific target customer group, but also to work together with the customers in order to develop an attractive and competitive business model. Furthermore, the thesis concludes that how the business model will be designed will determine the success of adopting a new technology. Other issues that arise who have to do with the design of the business model are how to package and position the new technology.
Under de senaste åren har innovation har blivit ett allt viktigare bidrag till ett företags konkurrensfördelar. Betydelsen av tjänster har dessutom ökat. IT och telekommunikation (ICT) har kommit att spela en viktig roll i nästan alla typer av industrier. Denna marknad ändras mycket snabbt och kontinuerligt. För att bemöta dessa förändringar måste företag som är aktiva inom IT- och mjukvaruindustrin ständigt hålla sina lösningar uppdaterade. Detta examensarbete består av en fallstudie utförd på ett litet företag aktivt i IT-branschen, referat till som Digital Marketing AB. Företaget levererar ett system för att planera, sända och analysera digitala marknadsföringskampanjer. Digital Marketing AB konkurrerar på en marknad som förändras i mycket hög takt. Då nya teknologier växer fram blir de existerande lösningarna kända vilket ger utrymme för lågkostnadsalternativ som eroderar intäkter från mer differentierade tjänster. Om dessa företag vars intäkter eroderas dessutom är mindre företag som inte har samma finansiella resurser som de större företagen, måste de förlita sig på andra typer av styrkor. Företag måste även se till att kunna sälja tekniken de producerar på ett sätt som är attraktivt för kunden, men som samtidigt är lönsamt för företaget. De måste integrera sin teknik i en affärsmodell. Examensarbetet visar på att Digital Marketing AB bör utveckla sin affärsmodell dedicerad åt en specifik målgrupp, och dessutom göra det tillsammans med potentiella kunder för att affärsmodellen skall bli attraktiv och konkurrenskraftig. Dessutom visar arbetet på att beroende på hur affärsmodellen utformas, kommer att avgöras hur pass framgångsrik affärsmodellen kommer att vara. Andra frågor som uppstår i samband med utvecklingen av affärsmodellen har att göra med hur tekniken skall paketeras och positioneras.

Throughout the last couple of years the world has witnessed the development of several new technologies on which todays prominent innovations are based. To drive digital innovation means creating something new and valuable through digital technologies. Public operators strives to accomplish desirable political objectives through innovation, although not a lot of these operators possess the knowledge or resources to deliver what is expected. By taking part in a cross functional innovation collaboration public operators tries to an increasing extent create the possibility of finding external solutions that they are not able to develop themselves. The purpose of this study is to examine successfactors in the case of digitally driven innovation by a private and a public operator. The study has been carried through as a case study with a method of twelve semistructured interviews within the borders of a cross functional innovation collaboration between a private and a public operator. On that basis, six successfactors was defined, that collectively created two contributions that was based on the characteristics and work procedures that was defined through the study. Our results show that a work procedure that is hybridized and the importance of client knowledge is the heart to successfully drive digital innovation and developing cross functional collaborations.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Under flera års tid har digitaliseringen och utvecklingen av digitala redovisningsinnovationer tagit stora framsteg. Behovet att följa med i den digitala utvecklingen har påvisats vara en avgörande faktor för att förbli konkurrenskraftig på marknaden. Under Covid-19 pandemin har studier påvisat att flera mikroföretag inom SME-segmentet har bristande digitala redovisningsprocesser. Men förklaringen om varför det fortfarande finns flera företag som inte utvecklat sina redovisningsprocesser mot det digitala arbetssättet saknades i tidigare studier, vilket blev studiens syfte att fylla. För att behandla studiens empiriska material som samlats användes en teoretisk referensram innehållande nyckeltal, Diffusion of Innovation Theory, redovisning, innovationer och digitalisering. Den insamlade empirin ställdes därefter mot den teoretiska referensramen i analysen som i sin tur ledde fram till ett slutresultat. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att förklara varför företagsledare i mikroföretag ännu inte har digitala redovisningsprocesser implementerade i sina företag. Således syftar studien till att öka förståelsen för hur företagsledare beslutar huruvida digitala redovisningsinnovationer ska anskaffas eller inte. Metod: Studien har baserats på en kvalitativ metod där sex stycken intervjuer genomfördes. Alla intervjuer genomfördes över digitala hjälpmedel. Alla respondenter är företagsledare i mikroföretag inom SME-segmentet och var tillgängliga inom Stockholms- och Göteborgsområdet. Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar att redovisningsinnovationens egenskaper har en viss roll i företagsledarens beslut till acceptans eller avslag. Dock påvisar studien också att flera faktorer utanför innovationens egenskaper är avgörande vid beslutsfattande, då företagsledarens digitala kunskap och det socialt inflytanded hade större påverkan.
Background: For several years, digitalisation and the development of digital accounting innovations have made great progress. The need to keep up with digital developments has been shown to be a crucial factor in remaining competitive in the market. During the Covid-19 pandemic, studies have shown that several micro-enterprises within the SME segment have a lack of digital accounting processes. However, the explanation of why there are still several companies that have not developed their accounting processes against the digital way of working was missing from previous studies, which became the aim of the study. To process the study's empirical materials collected, a theoretical frame of reference containing key figures, Diffusion of Innovation Theory, accounting, innovations and digitalisation was used. The entangled empirical data were then set against the theoretical frame of reference in the analysis, which in turn led to a final result. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explain why business leaders in micro-enterprises within SME do not yet have a digital accounting process implemented at their companies. Thus, the study aims to increase understanding of how business leaders decide whether to acquire digital accounting innovations. Method: The study was based on a qualitative method where six interviews were conducted over digital aids. All respondents are business leaders in micro-enterprises within the SME-segment and were available in the Stockholm and Gothenburg area. Results and conclusion: The study shows that the characteristics of accounting innovations have a certain role in the business leaders decision to accept or reject. However, the study shows that several factors outside the characteristics of innovations are crucial in decision making. The business leader´s digital knowledge and social influence had a greater impact.

Abstract:

La transformation numérique des entreprises fait évoluer l’organisation du travail et soulève des défis au niveau social et environnemental. Ce constat pousse à analyser l’impact de ces changements sur les salariés et plus largement sur la Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises (RSE). Premièrement, une analyse empirique des déterminants numériques de la RSE au sein des Entreprises Artisanales (EA) est effectuée. Les résultats soulignent l’influence du numérique dans le déploiement de démarches responsables. Deuxièmement, cette thèse étudie la relation entre une démarche de télétravail (innovation sociale) et l’innovation technologique (produit et procédé). Cette recherche met en avant l’impact positif du télétravail (organisationnel et management) sur l’innovation produit. La dernière recherche analyse l’influence de la gouvernance de l’entreprise sur l’intérêt porté au numérique dans les rapports RSE des entreprises du CAC 40. Cette recherche permet d’illustrer comment et pourquoi les entreprises accordent un intérêt croissant au numérique dans leurs démarches RSE. Cette thèse, au-delà de ses contributions académiques a des implications managériales et de politiques publiques
The digital transformation of companies is changing the organisation of work and raises social and environmental challenges. This observation leads us to analyse the impact of these changes on employees and more broadly on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Firstly, an empirical analysis of the numerical determinants of CSR within Artisanal Enterprises (EA) is carried out. The results underline the influence of numerical factors in the deployment of responsible approaches. Secondly, this thesis studies the relationship between a telecommuting approach (social innovation) and technological innovation (product and process). This research highlights the positive impact of telecommuting (organisational and management) on product innovation. The latest research analyzes the influence of corporate governance on the interest in digital in the CSR reports of CAC 40 companies. This research illustrates how and why companies are paying increasing attention to digital in their CSR approaches. This thesis, beyond its academic contributions, has managerial and public policy implications

Abstract:

In the last decades, the development of technology is challenging the global landscape. The fundamental importance of digital technologies in the managerial context has rapidly led the academic debate focus on making theoretical and managerial contributions related to digital transformation. The complexity of digitalization arises many problems in business innovation – in terms of relationships, operations, product and offering, and finally, technology management. The adoption of new technologies poses big changes in the way transformation should take place and be successful. We deploy a strategy approach to study digital transformation and related impacts on business model innovation (BMI). The findings reveal that digital technologies are important in generating interconnection among companies and their stakeholders, leading to the realization of innovation, value creation and competitiveness process. Furthermore, dialogic and polylogic communication in digital mediums by online communities indicates the non-financial information disclosure to be crucial for digital innovations. Thus, digital mediums play an important role in turning interactive disclosure into an increasingly vital element of organisational communication strategies. Especially for highly innovative business models, non-financial disclosure shows to be an important element in evaluating uncertainty, by providing logical justifications to crowd funders and therefore helping ventures acquire legitimacy.

Ett framgångsrikt innovationsarbete möjliggör för framtagningen och utvecklingen av nya och befintliga digitala produkter och tjänster. Digital innovation driver ett behov av att agera och samarbeta med andra företag och organisationer, vilket innebär att involveringen av externa aktörer kan leda till att utmaningar uppstår. Genom vår litteraturstudie har vi identifierat utmaningar, och undersökt hur dessa kan hanteras genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie, syftet med studien blir därför att genom en litteraturstudie skapa förståelse för vilka utmaningar som finns, samt identifiera hur dessa utmaningar kan hanteras genom en intervjustudie. De primära deltagarna i studien är anställda på ett etablerat och ledande företag som arbetar med digital innovation. Vi kommer att studera hur dessa utmaningar kan hanteras utifrån följande frågeställning: Hur kan utmaningar med involveringen av externa aktörer i digital innovation hanteras? Studiens resultat bidrar med föreslagna angreppssätt för att hantera utmaningar med involveringen av externa aktörer.

Abstract:

Att snabbt kunna anpassa sig till förändringar inom teknik, marknad, och kunders krav harblivit en allt mer viktig egenskap hos företag. Idag rör sig samhället oerhört fort. Digitalisering,Internet of Things, maskininlärning, Artificiell Intelligens, och blockchain är bara några exempelpå tekniker som förändrar beteenden, hur värde skapas och hur företag arbetar. Trots detta ärföretag på många sätt fortfarande inte organisatoriskt anpassade för att snabbt kunna förändras.Innovationsförmåga är en av grundpelarna för att långsiktigt kunna vara konkurrenskraftiga.All innovation börjar någonstans som en enkel idé, och således är idéhanteringsförmågaen kritisk egenskap för företag. Det är dock vanligt att lönsamma idéer implementeras trotsmånga organisatoriska hinder, inte tack vare dem. Ineffektiva och långa processer, osystematiskoch inkonsekvent utvärdering, resurs- och tidsbrist är bara några exempel på hinder som idéermåste ta sig förbi. Det finns flera lösningar för detta, men då mycket forskning har fokuserat påproduktföretag, är lösningarna också anpassade med dem i åtanke. Tjänsteföretag, och specielltdigitala tjänster har ökat dramatiskt i värde de senaste decennierna och det är därför intressantatt se vilka specifika utmaningar inom idéhantering sådana företag står inför. Det finnsflera viktiga skillnader mellan produkt- och tjänsteföretag som också påverkar utformandet avidéhanteringssystem, till exempel att tjänsteföretag tenderar att ha en större närhet till sinakunder, och att de ofta saknar en formell R&D-avdelning, eller motsvarande.Syftet med detta examensarbete har därför varit att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkaridéhanteringsförmågan i digitala tjänsteföretag. För att assistera i att utvärdera och förbättraidéhanteringsprocessen är även mätning och uppföljning av detta mycket viktigt. Därför hararbetet också ämnat att identifiera vilka faktorer som behöver tas i beaktning vid utformandetav mätsystem kopplade till idéhantering.Studien har genomförts på Thomas Cook Northern Europe, ett internationellt charter- ochresebolag. Företaget har upplevt att de haft en kreativ arbetsmiljö, men har identifierat problemmed hur idéer hanteras. Studien samlade in kvalitativ data från 23 respondenter viasemi-strukturerade intervjuer. Denna data analyserades och resulterade i ett ramverk med 5utmaningar för idéhantering, som är uppdelade i 23 delutmaningar med avseende på insamling,förbättring, samt utvärdering av idéer. Även 12 faktorer som mätsystem för idéhanteringsförmågabehöver ta i beaktning identifierades. Med hjälp av dessa utmaningar och faktorer kandigitala tjänsteföretag utforma idéhanteringssystem samt kopplade mätsystem.
Being able to quickly adapt to changes within technology, markets, and customer needs havebecome an increasingly important ability for companies. Today’s society is moving extremelyfast. Digitalization, Internet of Things, machine learning, Artificial Intelleigence, and blockchainare just a few examples of technologies that change behaviours, how value is created, and howcompanies work. Despite these trends, companies are still struggling to adapt organizationalstructures that can deal with quick changes.Innovation capability is one of the pillars for creating long term competitive advantage. Allinnovation begins with an idea, and innovation capability is therefore a critical capability forcompanies. It is however common that valuable ideas are implemented despite many organizationalobstacles, not because of them. Ineffective and long processes, unsystematic and inconsistentevaluation, scarcity of time and resources are just a few examples of obstacles ideas must overcome.There are several solutions for these problems, but since much research is focused onproduct developing companies, the solutions are designed with those in mind. Service companies,and especially digital services, has increased drastically in value during the last decades.It’s therefore interesting to see which specific challenges within idea management these types ofcompanies face. There are several important differences between product and service companieswhich also impacts the design of idea management systems.The aim of this master’s thesis has therefore been to examine which factors that affectidea management in digital service companies. To assist in evaluating and improving the ideamanagement process, measurement and follow up is also very important. Hence, this thesis hasalso aimed to identify which factors should be considered in the design of measurement systemsassociated with idea management.The study has been performed at Thomas Cook Northern Europe, an international charterand travel company. The company has a creative working environment, but have identified problemswith how ideas are managed. The study collected qualitative data from 23 respondentsthrough semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed and resulted in a framework with 5challenges related to idea management, divided into 23 sub-challenges based on the collection,improvement, and evaluation of ideas. Additionally, 12 factors that measurement systems foridea management capability need to consider have been identified. With the help of these challengesand factors digital service companies can develop idea management systems and coupledmeasurement systems.

Abstract:

The research proposes the Innovation Labs as a valuable management initiative to support tourism and cultural organisations in developing Digital Innovation Capacity, fostering Digital Transformation (DT) and Business Model Innovation (BMI). Innovation Labs are innovation management models aimed at fostering creative and critical thinking, driving the organisation in finding the best ways to generate knowledge and digital culture, introduce technologies, digitise operations, and implement digital strategies for continuous and sustainable innovation paths (Santarsiero et al., 2019; 2020). The need for investigating and identifying possible solutions, and governance models, in terms of management initiatives that follow emergent innovation trends, and support tourism and cultural organisations in embracing digital innovation journeys, is having a growing interest, both in scholars and practitioners, especially after the pandemic Covid-19. Tourism and cultural organisations, pursuant their attitude to be a labour-intensive production sector, in which the competitive advantage depends on the differentiation of the tourism product and the humanisation of the offered experiences, resulted as one of the sectors that most repudiate DT, conceiving it as a process that would lead to standardisation and loss of appeal to the end customer. However, nowadays, due to the emerging challenges in the Digital Age that are also affecting the tourism and cultural sector, the need for embracing digital journeys favouring DT and BMI should be considered mandatory to guarantee competitiveness and the gain of a sustainable competitive advantage. The rapid development of digital technologies and solutions, and their democratisation, induced changes in consumers’ and users’ habits and behaviours, resulting in the need for developing new products, services and methods of use based on emerging market needs. In the same way, organisations are asked to become resilient, proactive and able to evolve in the same way the competitive landscape does. After Covid-19, besides, the needs for digital innovation journeys and digital revolutions are even more accentuated, confirming that the pandemic has acted as an accelerator of DT dynamics. The competitiveness and attractiveness of organisations and destinations will therefore depend on the digital innovative capacity and ability of operators and destination managers to rethink the tourist offer according to the new emerging trends and context dynamics. Although the need for embracing digital innovation journeys is crucial, it is not an easy process to manage and exploit. Organisations, indeed, experience several difficulties and innovation barriers. In SMEs, in particular, which represent a typical configuration of tourism and cultural organisations, resistance to innovation, and insufficient skills, finance, culture, attitudes, and often also the time to devote to innovation due to overburden of bureaucratic aspects and various routines, are particularly accentuated. It follows these organisations require forms of support to face these needs and develop an innovative capacity, fostering DT and BMI to improve offers, competitiveness, efficiency, as well as customisation and customer relationships. Despite the relevance of these topics, however, the search for solutions and ways to support tourism and cultural organisations in embracing digital innovation journeys has not structurally explored yet. On this vein, the research aims to explore and investigate, in the field of innovation management, models and approaches to face DT and BMI challenges and opportunities, and thus to investigate the emerging phenomenon of Innovation Labs to understand their management model and assess their suitability for tourism and cultural organisations. In the theoretical section, the study presents a systematic literature review of Innovation Labs to provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon and identify critical patterns according to two main dimensions of analysis: space & infrastructure, and strategy & management. Furthermore, the study utilises a multiple-case study approach to better enrich the insights gathered from the literature, and to propose an Innovation Lab’s working definition and a management framework. The working definition takes into account all the emerging aspects, the new principles and paradigms that are governing the field of innovation management and that become essential for the organisations competing in this scenario. The framework describes key phases and relevant issues for effective management of Innovation Labs as catalysts of DT and BMI. Then, the research applies the proposed framework through an Action Research (AR) project involving an organisation operating in the tourism sector, to assess its efficacy in fostering tourism and cultural organisations’ digital innovation journeys. The research contributes to enrich knowledge and build theory in the field of Innovation Labs and tourism innovation management. In particular, the study led to developing theories on the contributions of Innovation Labs in fostering DT and BMI in tourism organisations. A further framework explaining the business model’s dimensions on which DT processes impact thanks to these initiatives has been proposed. Lastly, the analysis of the AR project compared Innovation Labs’ management framework with change management frameworks to detect alignments and to highlight insights to support researchers in considering the model as a tool to support innovation dynamics in times of crisis. This research also has relevant practical implications since it provides managers and practitioners with an overview of the dimensions to be considered while designing and managing an Innovation Lab to develop digital innovation capacity and foster DT and BMI. Expressly, managers and practitioners are provided with a framework supporting them designing and exploiting management initiatives aimed at embracing digital innovation journeys to generate marketable digital solutions, improve performance and develop a mindset continuous learning and innovation. The study also reveals some limitations that may address future research. Further empirical, also quantitative, investigations could be developed to extend the sample and to allow a comprehensive validation of the Innovation Lab’s management framework, focusing the research also on the evaluation of Innovation Labs’ activities.

Abstract:

After decades of digital developments, we are now entering a truly digital era. Digital information and communication technology has become a naturally embedded part ofthe designed environment we live in. Most parts of life are today pervaded by digital products and services. Evidence of such immersion can be noted in, for instance, media consumption. This development is gradually shaping and cultivating a media environment that is ubiquitous. Such ubiquity is manifested in media’s constant presence and thechanges in media consumption in the purview of digital innovation. Indeed, digital innovation is not only a shift in technology. It alters existing value networks and calls forrethinking existing value perceptions. While this disruptive change driven by digitizationcan be found in many industries, this thesis focuses on its impact on value networks in thenewspaper industry.The digitization of newspapers started with the introduction of the internet in the 90´sand soon emerged into new media innovations. While these new media innovations have not replaced existing media, they have been disruptive to newspaper value networks. Recently, the emergence of yet another digital innovation is specifically interesting whenstudying changes to value networks of the newspaper industry: the e-paper. This innovation (a screen technology very close to print on paper) exhibits inherent valuesthat make future replacement of print on paper a possibility. It is therefore regarded as avery promising technology in the newspaper industry. This thesis can be positioned at the intersection of the friction between forces to embarkon a new media trajectory and forces to hang on to the established structures andcontrol. The research question addressed in this thesis is: How are value networks of newspapers influenced by digital innovation? Addressing the research question, a multimethod approach was adopted to gain a broad understanding of how digital innovationinfluences value networks of newspapers. Drawing on digital innovation literature, the thesis presents a theoretical perspective with which to understand how digital innovation influences value networks. This perspective is instantiated as a model of value network configuration. The model emphasizes the multi-layered, dynamic, dialectic, and diametrical character of value networks in digital innovation. The model is offered as abasis and analytical tool to further explore value networks in digital innovation. This tool is useful for newspaper stakeholders when entering the digital era.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design & Management Program, 2002.
Includes bibliographical references (leaf 96).
Companies heavily and successfully invested in traditional technologies (defenders) often find it difficult to make the transitions to new disruptive technologies, in spite of technological competence and clear opportunity to do so. The core competencies that enabled the firm to excel under the old paradigms become core rigidities when faced with the need to address technological discontinuities. Products like digital still cameras, DSCs, represent the convergence of multiple rapidly changing technologies in electronics, optics, computers, networks, and software. The emergence and adoption of digital still photography both accompanies and defines a new paradigm in the sharing of images as it attempts to both emulate and replace the previous modalities while creating new market-expanding opportunities. The emergence of digital still photography has been predicted and promised for several decades. Indeed, it has already managed to replace silver halide altogether in certain market segments previously relied upon by conventional photography firms, and is at present extending beyond the early adopter stage in the broader consumer market. It is a current example of innovation and technological discontinuity, and one that has enough history to permit analysis. It poses a real potential disruptive threat to the incumbent players, some of which have succumbed while others apparently succeeded. This thesis studies the relationships between the development of the composite technologies in digital photography, the environment in which they operate, the emergence of dominant designs, market diffusion, and the strategies for success employed by leading participants. In the process of studying patterns of entry and exit firms and a detailed look at their products, evidence of a dominant design and support in this industry for the Abernathy and Utterback model of industrial innovation is uncovered. Also revealed is a second wave of innovation in the DSC industry that is firmly established and suggests the onset of a Christiansen-style disruptive dynamic. By studying this specific technological discontinuity in the context of the broader patterns, lessons in adapting to technological change in general are learned.

These are preceded by an introduction to digital poetry, including an overview of the field. Chapter 1 describes the use of digital technology in appropriative writing, using digital methods to collect and re-organise text from social media to produce two books. Appropriative, allegorical or conceptual writing is discussed in relation to these books and more generally. This discussion includes reflections on the ethics of appropriative methodologies, with reference to writers such as Kenneth Goldsmith and Vanessa Place. Chapter 2 explores the possibilities of digital technology for procedurally transforming existing texts to produce new ones. Two creative projects are discussed, the first using spreadsheets to transform by mechanistic word substitution and the second using databases to transform by reduction and ‘writing through’. These are contextualised and discussed in relation to the work of John Cage, Jackson Mac Low, the Oulipo and others. Chapter 3 investigates permutational and combinatory works and the use of machine methods to introduce programmatic randomness. A range of online works are described premised on aleatory selection from lists. The poetics of chance is discussed in relation to digital and non-digital combinatory works including Raymond Queneau, Alison Knowles and Nick Montfort. The human-machine dynamic is viewed as collaborative rather than competitive, with the machine envisaged as an adjunct to rather than an alternative to human practice. Processual methods are regarded as having most value when combined with non-processual and non-schematic elements. Originality is considered as a valid concept for procedural works, residing at the level of ideas and design. The procedural works discussed in the thesis are contextualised within a broader personal poetics of inclusivity, playfulness and humour.

Abstract:

Many industries are today facing the possibilities and challenges arising with an increasingly digitalised world. One such is the scantily studied industry of earth-moving contractors that today stands in front of an increasing amount of digital technologies, which may have the possibility to assist firms in their earthwork operations. However, there are indications that many firms tend to experience difficulties to beneficially adopt or see the potential of utilising these digital technologies. Hence, many firms tend to undertake an adoption approach that is associated with high client dependency and a less beneficial unsustainable subordinated position within the industry’s value chain. The purpose of this study has thus been to explore how the technological, organisational and external elements affect earth-moving contractors’ opportunity to adopt and utilise digital technologies in their operations. Moreover, the study has aimed to contribute with the understanding and knowledge of how the adoption of digital technology can be used to strengthen Swedish contractors’ position in the earth-moving industry’s value chain and in the end, aid the country’s sociotechnical development. The findings of the study are based on an explorative multiple case study approach and extensive review of literature. The results suggest that the extent to which adoption and utilisation of digital technologies differs among different earth-moving firms. Three of the five studied companies are considered as digital forerunners which have been able to leverage digital technologies to increase efficiency in their operations. In the case of two of these firms, the adoption of digital technology has enabled them to transform their whole businesses and partake in an increased and more beneficial role within the value chain. Further, the analysis of the findings indicates that the difference in adoption is affected by several factors related to a continuous interaction between (1) the internal aspects of the organisations, (2) the external context of the firms and (3) if the technical features of the digital technologies are perceived as compatible and beneficial for, the current business process and strategy. The thesis contributes to academia with explorative findings within a scarcely studied industry in general and, regarding digital technology adoption in particular. Additionally, the study provides examples of the previously unrecognised industry-dynamic phenomena of value chain integration by earth-moving contractors. These findings could have implications for the whole construction sector in Sweden. Lastly, the study exemplifies opportunities and barriers crucial for the adoption and implementation of digital technologies within smaller project-based organisations.
Många branscher och industrier idag står inför utmaningarna och möjligheterna som uppstår i en allt mer digitaliserad värld. Ett tydligt exempel är maskinentreprenadsbranschen som idag ställs inför valet att införa nya och alltmer avancerade digitala verktyg som har möjlighet att främja deras operativa verksamheter. Dock finns indikationer att många företag har svårigheter att tillämpa och anamma dessa verktyg på ett gynnsamt sätt och är beroende av deras kunders agerande för aktivering av dessa. Studiens syfte har således varit att undersöka hur relationen mellan teknologiska, organisatoriska och externa faktorer påverkar maskinentreprenörernas möjligheter att aktivera och nyttja digitala teknologier i deras operativa verksamheter. Vidare har studien varit ämnad åt att bidra till en ökad förståelse och kunskap för hur digitala teknologier kan användas för att stärka maskinentreprenörernas position i värdekedjan för att slutändan främja Sveriges sociotekniska samhällsutveckling. Rapportens resultat bygger på en explorativ flerfallsstudie samt en gedigen litteratursökning. Resultaten visar på skillnader i hur digitala tekniker har tillämpats och används bland olika maskinentreprenörer. Tre av studiens fem fallföretag är digitalt framstående och har strategiskt tillämpat digital teknik som gett upphov till kraftig effektivitetsökning. Två av dessa företag har dessutom lyckats med en gynnsam ompositionering i värdekedjan som dessa befinner sig i, som ett resultat av anammandet av ny digital teknik. Vidare påvisar studiens analys av resultaten att möjligheten för aktivering av digitala teknologiska innovationer påverkas av ett kontinuerligt förändrande samspel mellan (1) maskinentreprenörernas organisatoriska egenskaper, (2) externa omständigheter samt (3) huruvida den digitala teknologins tekniska attribut uppfattas som kompatibla och fördelaktiga med nuvarande affärsverksamhet och strategi. Rapporten bidrar akademiskt med värdefull och explorativ empiri till en industri med en bristande mängd av forskning generellt, och i synnerhet gällande utnyttjandet samt tillämpandet av nya digitala teknologier. Dessutom bidrar studien med exempel och insikter om ett industridynamiskt fenomen, som tidigare ej uppmärksammats, i form av maskinentreprenörers förmåga att förflytta sig i värdekedjan. Dessa strukturella förändringar kan få konsekvenser för den svenska byggindustrin. Slutligen exemplifierar studien avgörande möjligheter och barriärer för införandet av digitala teknologier i mindre projektbaserade organisationer.

Abstract:

Questa ricerca ha lo scopo di esplorare, attraverso quattro diversi paper, l’impatto della Digital Transformation sul comportamento e la performance delle imprese innovative, in particolare piccole e medie imprese (PMI). Nel primo articolo, si è cercato di fornire un breve excursus, attraverso una disanima della letteratura, sui meccanismi alla base dei processi di creazione di valore delle imprese attive in un ambiente innovativo, tenendo in particolare considerazione le cosiddette managerial dynamic capabilities. Si è cercato di dimostrare come le tecnologie digitali, quali IoT, Big Data e Intelligenza Artificiale, pur con i loro numerosi vantaggi, siano in grado di fornire solo un piccolo contributo ai processi di creazione di valore delle imprese, se non supportate da un insieme di competenze manageriali e organizzative di vario genere. Alla luce di ciò, si è cercato di superare l’approccio tecno-centrico alla Digital Transformation, sottolineando piuttosto l’alto potenziale delle abilità manageriali e organizzative proprie degli attori di tale processo trasformativo, sia dal lato dell’offerta (fornitori di soluzioni digitali) che della domanda (PMI). Nel secondo articolo è presentata un’analisi empirica a livello regionale che vuole rappresentare una preliminare indagine qualitativa sul ruolo svolto dalla stampa 3D nel contesto manifatturiero italiano. Si è cercato di dimostrare come specifici vantaggi percepiti dalle imprese in riferimento alla stampa 3D possono influenzare in modo significativo il loro comportamento di adozione in merito a questa nuova tecnologia digitale. Inoltre, viene rilevato, attraverso lo studio di più casi aziendali, come la percezione delle imprese manifatturiere italiane sul proprio livello di innovazione sia, il più delle volte, in disaccordo con il loro reale livello di innovatività. Successivamente, nel terzo paper, si è cercato di spostare il focus della ricerca su un piano nazionale, progettando un’articolata web-survey, sulla base delle ultime linee guida dell’OCSE. Si è cercato, in tal modo, di identificare, a livello quantitativo, le abilità manageriali più rilevanti per l’incremento della performance nelle PMI italiane innovative. I risultati ottenuti si sono rivelati perfettamente in linea con la letteratura analizzata nel primo capitolo, specialmente rispetto alle dynamic managerial capabilities ed agli altri asset intangibili cruciali per la performance innovativa delle imprese. Infine, nell’ultimo lavoro di ricerca, si è spostato il focus dell’analisi a livello internazionale, esplorando i meccanismi sottostanti gli effetti della Digital Transformation sulla performance dei system integrators, attori business che forniscono un supporto cruciale alle imprese nella trasformazione dei loro processi di creazione del valore. Rispetto al secondo e al terzo paper in cui l’analisi è stata condotta dal lato della domanda di digitalizzazione, in quest’ultima parte si è adottato il punto di vista dell’offerta, concentrandosi sul ruolo svolto dalle nuove tecnologie digitali e dalle capacità organizzative degli integratori di sistema sulla loro performance. I risultati supportano tutti quelli precedenti e forniscono nuovi interessanti spunti sugli effetti della Digital Transformation nel mondo business.
The aim of this research is to explore, through four different papers, the impact of Digital Transformation on behaviour and performance of innovative firms, especially small and medium- sized companies (SMEs). In the first paper, I tried to provide a brief excursus, through the most relevant literature review, on the mechanisms underlying firms’ value creation processes in a Digital Transformation environment, especially from a dynamic capabilities’ perspective. Therefore, it has been proved that digital technologies such as IoT, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, albeit their numerous benefits, are able to provide just a little contribution to the firms’ value creation if not supported by a diversified set of managerial and organizational skills. In line with this, I tried to go beyond the technology-centric perspective of Digital Transformation, emphasizing instead the actor-driven organizational transformation of capabilities, both from a supply-side (digital solution providers) and a demand-side perspective (SMEs). In my second paper, I carried on an empirical regional analysis to provide a preliminary qualitative investigation of the role played by 3D-printing (3DP) technology in the Italian manufacturing environment. It is shown that specific 3DP’s benefits can significantly influence the firms’ 3DP adoption behaviour. Moreover, it is demonstrated, through a multiple-case study analysis, how the perception of Italian manufacturing firms about their own innovation level is, most of time, not in line with their real level of innovativeness. Thereafter, in my third paper, I tried to extend the focus of my research on a national level by designing a richer web-survey, based on the last OECD guidelines to identify, in a quantitative way, the main business capabilities impacting on the performance of Italian SMEs with a strong innovation component. The results obtained turned out to be perfectly in line with the relevant literature abovementioned in terms of the crucial role played by dynamic managerial capabilities and intangibles assets on firms’ innovation performance. Finally, in my last research essay, I moved my analysis on an international level, by exploring the mechanisms underlining the effects of the Digital Transformation on system integrators’ performance. Compared to the second and third papers where I analysed the phenomenon of interest by a demand-side perspective, in this last analysis it is adopted a supply-side point of view, focusing on the crucial role played by the organizational capabilities in system integrators’ performance improvement. The results support all the foregoing findings and provide new interesting insights on the effects of Digital Transformation in the business context.

Abstract:

Over the last decades we have witnessed a profound digitalization of tangible products. While this shift offers great opportunities, it also exposes product developing industries to significant challenges. In these industries organizations, markets, and technologies are tuned for mass production, providing competitive advantage through scale economics. Typically, firms exercise modular strategies to deliver such scale benefits. Rooted in Herbert Simon’s notion of near decomposability, modular product architectures allow for production assets, such as tools, processes, and plants, to be effectively reused across product variants and over generations of designs. However, they come at a price; modularity requires overall design specifications to be frozen well before production. In practice, this tends to inscribe functional purpose in the structures of the system, effectively preventing firms from taking advantage of the speed by which digitized products can be developed and modified. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate and explain how product developing organizations adapt architectural thinking to balance the proven benefits of modularity and the emerging opportunities provided by digital technology. In doing so, it introduces a complementary architectural frame, grounded in Christopher Alexander’s seminal work on patterns. This frame associates the concept of architecture with generativity and reuse of ideas, rather than scale economics and reuse of physical assets. Sensitizing the theoretical framework through a longitudinal case study of digital product innovation this thesis derives several implications for theory and practice. Across four embedded cases in the automotive industry it demonstrates that generative capability follows from a shared organizational view on products as enablers and catalyzers of new, yet unknown functionality. Such an emergence-centric view requires product developing firms to rethink existing governance models. Rather than exercising control through specific functionality, inscribed in modular product structures, it offers the benefit of influencing innovation through general functional patterns, serving as raw material in distributed and largely uncoordinated innovation processes. This shift in focus, from specific functionality to general functional patterns, enables a new strategic asset for product developing firms. It opens up for proactive rather than reactive strategies, where the architecture makes an instrument to cultivate new ideas and business opportunities, rather than a tool for cost savings.

Abstract:

The present study examines the impact of marketing capabilities through a network perspective on innovative capabilities and firm performance. The market orientation and the resource-based view that underpin marketing capabilities have mainly treated marketing as internal capability of the firm. As firms are increasingly inter-connected and part of a business networks, a firm’s marketing capabilities need to be examined beyond a single firm. But, to date, no study has yet examined a firm's marketing capabilities from a network perspective in order to understand their influence on innovative capabilities. Thus, this study extends the existing research and conceptualisation of marketing capabilities from an internal perspective of a firm to external network relationships of the firm. This network perspective is based on a firm’s view of its network relationships, which accounts for inter-firm relationships, as well as through digital technology and learning orientation. With the advent of the Internet and information technology, this study conceptualises digital technology as an enabler of the relationship between marketing capability and innovative capability. Since capabilities evolve to become routines and/or deteriorate over time, a firm's learning orientation is also conceptualised for examining the extent to which capabilities impact on innovative capabilities. A survey data of 300 UK-based firms were analysed using statistical analysis to examine the influence of marketing capabilities on innovative capabilities and in turn, firm performance. In addition, interaction analyses were performed to test for mediating and moderating relationships of digital technology and learning orientation. Findings of the analysis show strong support for product development capability; marketing implementation capability; pricing capability. The results support the relative impact of marketing capabilities on innovative capabilities. While marketing capabilities may comprise interdependent capabilities, this finding suggests that firms can enhance innovative capabilities by emphasizing the salient marketing capabilities. Importantly, digital technology has a significant and positive mediating relationship for the relationship between marketing capabilities and innovative capabilities. This finding indicates that knowledge of the application of information technology would facilitate exploitation and exploration of marketing capabilities that enhance innovative capabilities. As indicated by the positive moderation of learning orientation for the relationship between marketing capabilities and innovative capability, the potential to harness marketing capabilities is better enhanced through learning orientation and digital technology. This new perspective of marketing capability analysis benefits from a firm’s network perspective that recognises a firm’s external relationships and inter-connected nature of business interactions. In this instance, digital technology extends the boundary of firm beyond a single firm, and learning orientation complements market orientation with learning and gathering of external market information. This research advances knowledge about specific types of marketing capabilities for improving innovative capability and firm performance through digital technology capability. The study also makes a significant contribution to building theoretical knowledge of the role of digital technology in enabling innovative capabilities by developing and empirically testing a new construct of digital technology. As the ability to mobilise digital technology is firm-specific, this study extends knowledge about the extent of learning orientation (moderator) to the marketing capabilities and innovative capabilities relationship through digital technology.

The first essay describes how intellectual property (copyright law) might affect the diffusion of newly, digitized information. To evaluate this question, I focus on the digitization of a magazine as a part of the Google Books digitization project and estimate the impact of copyright on magazine issues on subsequent reuse of creative material on Wikipedia. I find that while digitization substantially increases the likelihood of reuse of digitized material on Wikipedia, copyright might substantially impede reuse. The impact of copyright is most pronounced for images as compared to text, for less popular material with fewer substitutes and when the underlying material is available in digital form. The second essay highlights maps as a new form of digital information and posits that the availability of publicly-provided maps is a crucial first step to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. In order to examine this issue, I focus on the impact of the NASA Landsat satellite mapping program on shaping the level and distribution of new discoveries between firms in the gold exploration industry. By comparing regions that quasi-randomly did not receive mapping information due to technical failures in the satellites and cloud-cover in imagery with regions that received publicly-provided maps, I estimate that new maps almost doubled the likelihood of new discoveries in the global gold exploration market between 1950-1990 and also shifted the sources of new discoveries from larger senior firms to younger and smaller junior firms. The third essay continues to explore the role of maps in shaping innovation by focusing on the role of mapping information in shaping innovative behavior in a crowding context. I analyze the impact of the US Census TIGER street-mapping program on shaping innovative activity on OpenStreetMap, a popular online street-mapping community similar to Wikipedia, and used widely on the internet in applications like Foursquare, Apple Maps and Uber. I focus on an error in the use of TIGER information on OpenStreetMap due to which about 60% of the US map benefited from highly-accurate TIGER maps from the US Census while the other 40% did not. In a difference-in-difference framework, I find that counties that received accurate TIGER information were negatively affected on OpenStreetMap as measured by the number of active users, the number of contributions and importantly the production of follow-on knowledge.

Abstract:

With the current challenges for the healthcare such as increased demand for care, financial and resource constraints along with rapid changes and complexity there is high believe in digital innovation and digitalisation to efficacy resources and aid in delivering a safer, more accessible and patient centred valuable care. There is a digitalisation that is ongoing, being used and implemented over several different areas of healthcare. Since healthcare can be seen as a complex adaptive system, there is a need to understand several agents. The aim is to gather more knowledge about perceptions within the physiotherapy staff and give recommendations and directions for improvements regarding digital innovation. Opinions about digital innovation have been gathered with open interviews and a semisystematic literature review with focus on physiotherapy. Too find subjective data the mixed method Q methodology was applied. The open interviews resulted in eight categories: digital innovation, digital innovation being used, digital innovation not used, management, obstacles, education, wishful thinking, applications and systems and associated opinions. The semi-systematic literature review showed on a rapid scientifically development, 25 articles was found and thematically analysed. 140 cited viewpoints and facts was merged with the results from the open interviews. Ten physiotherapists performed the q-sort consisting of 25 statements. Three factors were found. Interpreted as digital innovation optimism & patient oriented, digital innovation scepticism & management oriented and digital innovation sceptical optimism. Video-call technique is strongly encouraged by factor one contrary to factor two. Integrity is the major conflicting viewpoint between the factors. The result shows that gender can affect if a physiotherapist is either optimistic or sceptical to digital innovation. Using existing models such as UTAUT could improve acceptance about digital innovation. Education is perceived as important among all factors. Nine participants responded on baseline questions showing low knowledge of the term mHealth and little communication with IT departments.

Abstract:

Existing research on organizational agility has primarily focused on large com- panies. This research tends to reference startups as the truly agile organizations, and it is assumed that large established corporations have much to learn from startups, especially for digital innovation. However, little research has studied startups with an organizational agility lens to identify how startups develop organizational agility and what enables and hinders such agility. There is a need to better understand how startups use organizational agility to gain leverage in digital innovation. This licentiate thesis is based on three papers, where each paper focuses on one aspect of organizational agility, and aims to answer the research question: How do startups use organizational agility to gain leverage in digital innovation? A qualitative approach was applied, and two interview studies were conducted in the automotive products and services domain. This domain was chosen be- cause it has recently been challenged by newcomers with very different strategies for innovation and the automotive incumbents are now struggling to transform into agile enterprises. Subsequently, it became possible to identify differences in how organizational agility is applied in digital innovation in large companies and startups. The first study included three incumbents and two in- ternational startups, and the second study included nine startups. The startups included in the two studies were located in Sweden and one startup in the USA (active in Sweden). 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted, which en- abled us to gain a richer and more in-depth understanding about how startups develop and applied organizational agility in their digital innovation initiatives. An initial literary study helped identify core dimensions of organizational agil- ity that were empirically investigated. Organizational agility as an analytic lens was operationalized using different frameworks to support our analysis work. The concluding analysis showed differences between startups' ability to use organizational agility in digital innovation. The startups had different ap- proaches to digital innovation and the analysis shows different types of organ- izational agility. The startups that applied an agile culture, visionary and trans- formative approach (effectuation logic) and open innovation, were the most successful when it came to keeping a high digital innovation pace compared with the other startups in this study. Based on the analysis of how organization-Page 2 of 167al agility affected the studied companies' digital innovation capability, we iden- tified four ideal types of startup organizational agility: digital industrial, digital complementary, digital exploiter, and digital disrupter. In Digital industrial, the value of organizational agility is less exploited because it applies a planning approach and a unilateral technical focus with a vague business model, leading to a low digital innovation capability. In Digital complementary, the value of organizational agility is utilized while applying a planning approach, focusing on in-depth technical research where the value, once integrated into a customer product, can lead to a high digital innovation capability. In Digital exploiter, the value of organizational agility is fully utilized while applying a visionary and adaptive approach, focusing on the rapid exploitation of market-driven digital services applied but can lead to low digital innovation capability. In Digital disrupter, the value of organizational agility is optimally utilized by using a visionary and transformative strategy, focusing on in-depth and rapid explora- tion in innovation ecosystems or networks, which leads to high digital innova- tion capability. The research contributes to practice and the theory of organizational agility by showing how the various aspects of organizational agility impact the organiza- tions' digital innovation capability.

Abstract:

This report examines the extent and nature of digital service innovation in Africa by analysing the case of the mobile network operator, MTN Group. Specifically, it tests if digital service innovation is required by MNOs in Africa, and if so, what the extent is of the constraints that these MNOs face. In addition, it interrogates the strategies for MNOs to increase service innovation and value co-creation with a deeper look at business model innovation and how it captures value from the trends in the digital ecosystem. An exploratory thematic analysis was conducted through semi-structured interview for 17 respondents within various departments of MTN Group. Interviews were conducted between September 2015 and October 2015. The results were analysed through an abductive approach similar to that of Dubois and Gadde (2002) in which literature is used to suggest introductory research questions. Thereafter, movement back and forth between the data and theory assisted with the interpretation of the findings and aided with the development and conclusion of the research questions (Freeman, Hutchings, & Chetty, 2012) The pervasiveness of digital transformation and automation in the global economy is improving customer experiences across sectors which is perpetuating customers to demand digital transformations from laggard firms, like MNO, MTN. The constraint of MTN to execute digital growth strategies in Africa was found to be a lack of SDL amongst MTN managers. From the literature, it was established that the service platform is a key element of the service innovation process, part of the broadened understanding and is a likely constraint to the growth in mobile money services in South Africa.

Employing an extensible theory testing case study approach, this thesis examines how modularity influences digital platform innovations. It explains how the different levels of coupling between digital platform layers, in combination with platform generative mechanisms, determine how organisations innovate over time. In doing so, the thesis establishes the role a platform’s technical architecture, social processes, and procedures play, in the creation of sustainable digital platform innovation and the consequent organisational ability to maintain competitive advantage.
