Résumé :

Being innovative and environmentally sustainable can help companies to achieve success. Depending on the size of the company it can be achieved in different ways. When conducting innovation projects, the level of formal steering support might differ, especially if sustainability wants to be achieved. This thesis aims to answer the question how the need of ensuring the firm’s vision of being environmentally sustainable and use it as a marketing advantage affect the need of formal steering support in innovation projects in medium sized enterprises. Until today research have not addressed this question in a sufficient manner whereas focus has been on “SME’s” (Small and Medium sized Enterprises), small or large companies. Large companies need rather formal processes while smaller companies can be more informal and flexible. This thesis takes the perspective of the medium sized company and investigates their specific needs. A variety of innovation projects have been studied at a medium sized company and insights from it has been combined with literature on innovation processes to find the right balance of formality. The conclusion being drawn is that formality is needed especially in the beginning and in the end of an innovation project for a medium sized company if sustainability wants to be achieved and used as a marketing advantage.
Att vara innovativ och miljömässigt hållbar kan hjälpa ett företag att nå framgång. Beroende på företagets storlek kan denna framgång uppnås på olika sätt. När innovationsprojekt genomförs kan nivån av formell projektstyrning variera, speciellt om man vill uppnå en viss nivå av miljömässig hållbarhet. Denna uppsats ämnar svara på frågan huruvida behovet av att säkerhetsställa ett företags hållbarhetsvision och använda resultatet som en marknadsfördel påverkar behovet av formell projektstyrning i medelstora företag. Fram tills idag har forskning inte tagit upp denna fråga på ett tillräckligt sätt. Fokus har varit på ”SME’s” (små och medelstora företag), små eller stora företag. Stora företag behöver ha rätt formella processer för innovationsarbete medan små företag kan vara informella och flexibla. I denna uppsats är fokus på medelstora företag och deras specifika behov gällande formalitet. För att göra detta har vi studerat en rad olika innovationsprojekt på ett medelstort företag och kombinerat detta med litteratur rörande innovationsprocesser för att hitta rätt balans av formalitet. Slutsatsen som dras är att formalitet är nödvändig, särskilt i början och i slutet av ett innovationsprojekt för medelstora företag som vill uppnå en viss nivå av miljömässig hållbarhet och använda det som en marknadsfördel.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

A framework for analysing crop processes and their suitability to automation was developed in order to address the challenges of labour costs and skills availability that UK growers face. Harvesting was found to be the function of greatest potential labour resource savings. The framework compared those crops with the highest Home Production Marketed value, in terms of target detection, target removal, seasonality and environmental factors. Agaricus bisporus (common mushroom) was the crop that was identified as the best candidate for automation. Therefore a laboratory demonstration of a robot arm was designed and developed and experiments conducted showed that the cycle time to pick and place three mushrooms was 20 seconds (compared to a typical human pick rate of 12 seconds (HDC 1996)). The model could in theory, be operated 24 hours a day, giving a picking strategy advantage over a current single day-shift operation. The pick efficiency rate (i.e. success rate) was found to be 69% and if all biological factors are eliminated (e.g. elimination of air conditioning which dried out compost and fruiting bodies), the results suggest a 92% pick success rate is theoretically feasible using the model within optimum environmental conditions. Additionally, 85% of these mushrooms successfully picked had no bruising damage; this results in an overall 78.2% success rate, or 21.8% scrap rate, compared to a 5-10% scrap rate produced by human pickers (Noble 2004), (Komatsu 2005), (Howard 2007). The performance of the robotic harvester was tested within a simulated commercial environment using a discrete event simulation of a UK farm. Results of experiments conducted to compare the performance of a robotic harvesting operation to the current labour intensive operation show that the system would require between 31 and 34 robot harvesters to replace the current 28 humans. The initial investment cost for the proposed fully automated harvesting and growing system, using an Automated Storage and Retrieval System, for the UK farm was found to be from £3.56-3.71m. The payback period for the replacement of the 28 Flexible Full Time Harvesters currently employed was found to be 8 years. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) was found to be 4%. If the existing growing sheds and tray transport system at the UK farm was kept in service and just the automated harvesting unit was employed, the payback period reduced to 5.5 years and the IRR was found to be 10.5%. The financial analysis provides unimpressive results; however, limitations of these traditional financial appraisal methods were identified from this work. The nonfinancial benefits provide a more compelling reason to go ahead with the proposed solution as the persistent labour supply and direct labour cost issues are currently forcing the UK growers out of business. This work provides growers with a reliable automated harvesting solution and the ability to determine the suitability of its application within their own operations.

Résumé :

Looking at the sustainability trend applied to the food sector, during the last years factors as green consumerism, environmental pollution, and the increased attention on people’s health and wellness have led to the diffusion of new eating habits: vegetarianism and veganism are just some of them. Among all these, one recurrent topic is the intention to significantly reduce meat consumption due to ethical, environmental, health or, even taste motivations. In this given framework, some companies operating in the food sector have recently started to make a product able to recreate the aspect, the texture, and the taste of traditional meat but composed of plant-based ingredients only: the so-called plant-based meat. Taking the perspective of such an innovative food product, this thesis aims to study how perceptions vehiculated through its packaging change according to consumers’ different eating habits and different motivations in choosing this type of food. To reach this purpose, this study exploits both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Thus, neuromarketing techniques, such as the implicit associations one, are then used to define how different packaging variables affect different perceptions in consumers’ minds so their buying behaviour. To conclude, further implications are then discussed considering the direction that these traditional meat’s alternatives are taking in the road through sustainability, like, for example, synthetic meat.

Résumé :

The evolution of herbivory within an insect lineage is often enabled by novel morphological innovations. The ancestor of Scaptomyza flava developed a serrated ovipositor nearly six million years ago, associated with an evolutionary transition to herbivory, that allows these flies to cut into mustard plants deposit eggs into the wound. We aim to identify candidate genes associated with ovipositor peg development in S. flava using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). GWAS methods are only appropriate for heritable, variable traits. Dissection and photographic profiling of ovipositors from over 700 female flies revealed variation in the number of serrated pegs within natural populations. Mother-daughter profiling showed this variation was heritable (h2 = 46%). Peg number variation among individuals followed a normal distribution, suggesting multiple genes likely influence this trait. Sequencing genomes of pools of individuals with the most and fewest ovipositor pegs from two populations identified four candidate loci affecting ovipositor peg number in S. flava. Many of these loci contribute to neural development in Drosophila melanogaster, consistent with the hypothesis that ovipositor pegs are hardened, innervated bristles. Overall, this project sets the stage for understanding the genetic and developmental basis of a key evolutionary innovation – a leaf-cutting ovipositor – in herbivorous insects.

Baillie, Iain. « The development of a laser-EMAT system suitable for on-line inspection in the continuous casting plant : innovation report ». Thesis, University of Warwick, 2008. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/66999/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

During the continuous casting process, both surface and internal defects can arise in the as-cast steel semi products, causing problems for downstream processes and customers(l). These problems could be minimised if the steel could be inspected on-line, during the manufacturing process, whereby a feedback control system could be developed to alert operators should any defects arise and modifications need to be made to the process. The main benefit of on-line inspection is reducing operating costs. Additionally, the material flow through the mills and to the customer could be streamlined and optimised to ensure that defective or out of tolerance material is not sent through additional, expensive, value added processes(2,3). The problem is that steel in the caster is at temperatures in excess of 800°C and the environment is so harsh that most inspection technologies will not work under these conditions. A review of the literature was conducted to assess technologies that could be applied to inspect the surface and internal quality of hot, moving steel within the harsh environment of a continuous caster(4). This review enabled a non-contact ultrasonic technique to be selected, as this was suitable for the hostile environment and could find both internal and surface defects at the same time(4). A further literature study was undertaken which showed that a Laser-EMAT (ElectroMagnetic Acoustic Transducer) system could be suitable for the application(5). This technology uses a high energy, pulsed laser beam to generate ultrasound in the steel and noncontact EMATs to detect the ultrasonic signals. As this technology was not available off-the shelf, significant research needed to be conducted and ultrasonic experiments to find defects at room temperature and hot, moving steel were carried out(6). The innovations and main results from important trials conducted as part of this project are included in this Innovation Report. Detailed research and development work, undertaken as part of this project can be found in the 'Steps towards an automated prototype system for inspecting hot, moving steel' portfolio submission(6). The main achievement for this project is the creation of a prototype Laser-EMA T system that could find defects in moving steel, in excess of 800°C.

This thesis aims to analytically describe and assess the implementation of lean manufacturing practices by Pirelli Tyre within its Latin American Industrial complex. In addition to a structured and vast description of Toyota production principles and lean thinking theoretical foundations, a special emphasis will be devoted to the EGR project (Especialistas em Gestão da Rotina), as a strategic tool to be used by the Italian multinational company in the upcoming future, so to achieve a more effective and efficient results in daily routine management. This project, representing a significant component of Pirelli Manufacturing System (PMS) and primarily geared to plant supervisors and coordinators, mainly consists of helping the firm to develop the corporate ability to correctly evaluate the potential gap existing between actual and expected results, in order to both understand deviations as well as underlying causes, and continuously improve company performance through process standardization and waste reduction. Those goals can be pursued by acting on two essential means: technical skills and behavioral leadership to support each project team; enhanced effectiveness in managing performance indicators across the different factory units, in accordance to KPIs set at the Head Quarter level. Furthermore, the research will be focused on the peculiar experience of Santo André plant, where EGR has firstly kicked off, with the aim to capture the relevant changes (on the organizational and economic side) brought to the company, through the conduction of field research and interviews, which are oriented to gather evidence, considerations and insights from all the organizational actors involved.
O trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar e descrever analiticamente a implementação de práticas de manufatura enxuta pela Pirelli Pneus no seu complexo industrial da América Latina. Além de uma descrição estruturada e ampla dos princípios de produção de Toyota e fundamentos teóricos do Lean thinking, uma ênfase especial será dedicada ao projeto EGR (Especialistas em Gestão da Rotina), como uma ferramenta estratégica para ser usada pela empresa multinacional italiana no futuro próximo, de modo a alcançar um resultado mais eficaz e eficiente na gestão da rotina diária. Este projeto, que representa um componente significativo do Pirelli Manufacturing System (PMS) e, principalmente, voltado para supervisores e gestores de plantas, consiste principalmente em ajudar a empresa a desenvolver a capacidade empresarial para avaliar corretamente o gap potencial existente entre os resultados atuais e os esperados, para tanto entender os desvios, bem como as causas subjacentes, e melhorar continuamente o desempenho da empresa por meio da padronização de processos e redução de desperdicios. Esses objetivos podem ser perseguidos, atuando em dois meios essenciais: habilidades técnicas e comportamentais de liderança para apoiar cada equipe de projeto; uma maior eficácia na gestão de indicadores de desempenho nas diferentes unidades de fábrica, de acordo com KPIs estabelecidos no nível central pelo Head Quarter. Além disso, a investigação será focada na experiência peculiar da planta de Santo André, onde o EGR começou como piloto, com o objetivo de captar as alterações relevantes (no lado organizacional e econômico) que este projeto trouxe para a empresa, através da realização de pesquisa de campo e entrevistas, que são orientados a recolher provas, considerações e opiniões de todos os principais atores envolvidos.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Variété végétale et invention sont deux concepts juridiques qui encadrent la propriété intellectuelle des innovations variétales. Ces deux constructions juridiques sont en continuité avec les préceptes scientifiques de la biologie. En outre, elles sont adaptées aux besoins économiques des acteurs concernés. Ces deux éléments montrent que la relation entre le droit de la propriété intellectuelle et le contexte de la création variétale est construite sur un échange dialectique. Le choix du droit de la propriété intellectuelle dépend des intérêts que les sélectionneurs souhaitent fructifier. La coexistence des droits de la propriété est sujette aux stratégies d’appropriation mises en œuvre par les acteurs. Ces stratégies peuvent conduire à des limites : concentration des entreprises et perte de la biodiversité végétale. Ces limites sont étudiées au regard du droit de la concurrence d’une part, et au regard de la durabilité écologique, d’autre part
Plant variety and invention are two legal concepts which regulate the intellectual property of varietal innovations. These two legal constructs are in line with the scientific precepts of biology. Moreover, they accommodate the economic needs of the actors involved. These two elements demonstrate that the relation between intellectual property law and the context of varietal creation is built on a dialectical interaction. The choice of intellectual property law depends on the benefits breeders wish to put forward. The coexistence of property rights is subject to the ownership strategies implemented by the actors. These strategies can show limitations: corporate concentration and loss of plant biodiversity. These limits are studied in terms of competition law and in terms of ecological sustainability

Résumé :

As the population of the world increases and cities grow in size, we are faced with remarkable societal problems regarding sustainable food security for the generations to come. In this paper, I present and discuss HAVE (Hydroponic Agricultural Vertical Environment), a research-through-design project that explores the design of an interactive open-source vertical kitchen garden. HAVE is designed as a shareable platform, that aims to lower the barriers of entry of getting started with home gardening, to provide an option for people to play an active role in working towards a more sustainable, resilient society. By simplifying the design of a computer-assisted garden, I present an engaging interactive system that is cheap and easy to build and maintain. With HAVE as a case study, this project also aims to expand upon how plant-based interfaces can be implemented in future design work, and builds upon the topics of calm technology and material computing. As such, this paper discusses the opportunities and challenges of designing plant-based interfaces, also in relation to how people care for and interact with plants. It is my hope, that HAVE may act as a conversation piece that addresses societal challenges regarding future agriculture practices, while contributing to the academic discussion and debate on the topics of plant-based interfaces, design for social innovation, and tangible computing, and the field of interaction design in general.

Résumé :

The conservation of historic cultural landscapes in Queensland is in its infancy. Effective conservation practice, however is based on sound historical information, and no previous study has investigated the historical development of local parks, gardens and other landscapes. The objectives of this research were to examine the factors which influenced landscape design in Queensland, to identify the forms and expressions of design derived from these influences, and to identify any distinctive aspects related to local landscape character. The timeframe chosen for this investigation was from the beginning of the separate colony of Queensland (1859) to the outbreak of World War 2 (1939). Using historical method, the research began with an exploration of published primary sources (particularly garden literature from the 1860s to 1930s) related to Queensland and other 'tropical' areas. A series of hypotheses was proposed to explain the findings, and these were tested by further analysis and data gathering. There followed a triple-layered central proposition, suggesting that: (i) in Queensland, the traditional delineation of styles to describe landscape design is of limited application because of the lack of elite professional designers and wealthy clients; (ii) there developed a discernible 'tropical landscape design character' in suitable climatic areas, which included two distinct visual aspects expressed in the landscape (the 'exotic' and the 'prosaic'); and, (iii) these design outcomes were the result of a design process of 'acclimatisation' experienced by early settlers (gardeners and designers) working in unfamiliar lands and climates, and includes the stages of experimentation, adaptation and innovation.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

La thèse présentée ici propose une analyse économique d’un mode alternatif d’innovation semencière : la sélection participative. Définis par l’implication des agriculteurs dans le processus de sélection, les projets de sélection participative consistent généralement en une collaboration entre agriculteurs et scientifiques qui deviennent des co-chercheurs. Ces programmes visent à développer des variétés locales et adaptées à une agriculture durable.Dans le secteur des semences, la règlementation joue un rôle central : pour obtenir une autorisation de mise sur le marché, les variétés doivent être conformes à un standard. De plus, les règles de commercialisation orientent la recherche semencière et limitent les échanges de variétés paysannes. Dans un premier essai, les impacts économiques de cette règlementation sont analysés. Les arguments expliquant la rationalité économique de ces instruments règlementaires ainsi que leurs limites et les alternatives envisageables sont étudiés. Le second essai consiste en une étude de cas des motivations des agriculteurs. Cette question multifactorielle, permet d’éclairer l’essentiel des enjeux économiques, environnementaux et sociétaux associés à la sélection participative. Les motivations des agriculteurs sont en effet directement liées à l’histoire de la recherche semencière, aux limites du système agricole moderne, aux impacts environnementaux de ce modèle, à la structure de l’industrie semencière ainsi qu’au cadre règlementaire. Pour finir, un modèle théorique représente les interactions stratégiques entre des semences commerciales et des semences paysannes. Les impacts en termes de prix, profits, couverture du marché, pollution et bien-être social sont analysés
This thesis provides an economic analysis of an alternative mode of innovation in the seed sector : Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB). PPB is defined as the involvement of users in the plant breeding process and typically consists in the collaboration of farmers and scientists who become co-researchers. These programs aim at developing local varieties adapted to sustainable agriculture.In the seed sector, regulation plays a key role: a stringent market approval process limits the seeds on the market to pre-defined types of varieties. Marketing rules also influence the orientation of plant breeding and limit the exchanges of farmers’ seeds. In chapter 1, the economic rationale of the seed regulation, its limits and possible alternatives are analyzed. Chapter 2 consists of a case study on the farmers’ motivations for participating in PPB projects. This multifaceted question enables to study the economic, environmental and societal issues at stake. Farmers’ motives are indeed directly related to the history of seed research, the limits of the intensive agricultural model and its environmental impacts, the seed industry’s structure and the regulatory framework. Finally, a theoretical model represents the strategic interactions between commercial and farmers’ seeds. The impacts in terms of price, profit, market coverage, pollutions and social welfare are explored

Texte intégral

Résumé :

A radical shift in consumption and production of food is necessary to combat climate change. This has sparked interest in diets and their implications on the environment, both among researchers and among consumers. Plant-based dairy substitutes is one field of products that is experiencing significant growth. The dynamics in the market have created many opportunities for startups to enter the market with new products. However, because of the novelty of the topic, business models for sustainable food startups is a lacking area of research. Further, in order to successfully enter the market, it is essential for startups to fully understand the market dynamics from a holistic perspective. To investigate the mechanisms driving the transformation, as well as the potential windows of opportunity for startups, a survey and interviews were conducted. The survey had the aim of understanding the drivers of change among the consumers. The interviews were conducted with multiple startups and related organizations, which aimed to discuss the survey results while looking at the supply side of the market. The survey results presented interesting insights such as potential target consumers, consumer preferences in the plant-based dairy space, and potential gaps in the market. This was followed by the interviews where the business models, industrial dynamics and challenges were explored. The results were analyzed by theoretical frameworks such as the multi-level perspective. This study concluded that a transition towards plant-based dairy substitutes is occurring and is mainly driven by concern for veganism/animal welfare and climate change in combination with R&D efforts which are rapidly improving the products’ taste, price and convenience. This transition has raised new windows of opportunity for startups to capture the market share with viable business model innovation. However, changing diets takes a large amount of time and many political institutions work to protect the dairy industry.
Radikala förändringar i hur mat/dryck konsumeras och produceras är nödvändigt för att motverka klimatförändringar. Det här har lett till ett ökat intresse för olika dieters påverkan påmiljön. Det ökade intresset syns både inom forskning och bland konsumenter. Växtbaserade mejeri-substitut är ett sortiment av produkter som just nu växer kraftigt. Intresset på marknadenhar skapat många möjligheter för startups att etablera nya produkter. Eftersom det här är en ny och växande marknad så är forskningen kring hållbara mat/dryck-startups mycket begränsad. Vidare så måste startups förstå marknaden ur ett helhetsperspektiv för att framgångsrikt kunna etablera sig med nya produkter. För att undersöka vilka mekanismer som driver transformationen mot växtbaserademejeri-substitut, och vilka möjligheter som finns för startup, så har en enkätundersökning och intervjuer utförts. Enkäten syftade till att förstå vilka faktorer hos konsumenter som driver den här förändringen. Intervjuerna utfördes med olika startups och andra relevanta organisationer och syftade till att diskutera enkätresultaten samt att förstå marknaden ur producenternas perspektiv. Enkätresultaten innehöll intressanta insikter, såsom potentiella målkunder, kundpreferenser inom växtbaserade mejeriprodukter samt potentiella möjligheter på marknaden. Intervjuerna diskuterade startups affärsmodeller, dynamiken på marknaden och de största utmaningarna. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående av bland annat multi-level perspective. Slutsatsen i studien var att det just nu sker en övergång till växtbaserade mejeri-substitut och att detta främst är drivet av ökad hänsyn för veganism/djurskydd samt klimatförändringar i kombination med R&D-utveckling som snabbt förbättrat produkternas smak, pris och bekvämlighet. Den här övergången har skapat nya möjligheter för startups att ge sig in på marknaden genom nya innovativa affärsmodeller. Men det tar lång tid för ett samhälle att ändra sina kostvanor, och många politiska institutioner arbetar aktivt för att skydda mejeriindustrin.

Résumé :

O melhoramento vegetal constitui a primeira etapa de todos os sistemas das cadeias agroindustriais, pois é responsável por gerar e disponibilizar aos agricultores, sob a forma de novas cultivares, a genética das sementes a serem utilizadas nos cultivos que suprem a demanda do país por produtos agrícolas. O presente trabalho pretende investigar a dinâmica de constituição de entidades privadas, pertencentes a grupos de produtores rurais, com a finalidade de gerar novas cultivares. A observação deste fenômeno pode auxiliar o aperfeiçoamento de mecanismos institucionais para fortalecimento das ações coletivas voltadas para o interesse público e importantes, do ponto de vista estratégico, para o agronegócio do Brasil. Pretende-se, assim, responder à seguinte questão de pesquisa: Quais os incentivos para as organizações coletivas se dedicarem ao melhoramento vegetal? A presente investigação, de cunho qualitativo e com fins exploratórios, realiza um estudo de múltiplos casos à luz de conceitos da economia das organizações por meio de variáveis motivacionais específicas situadas em duas dimensões: ambiente institucional e estrutura de mercado. As organizações analisadas são: Cooperativa Central Gaúcha Ltda. - CCGL, Cooperativa Central de Pesquisa Agrícola - Coodetec, Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira - CTC, Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa Agropecuária de Mato Grosso - Fundação MT, e Instituto Mato-Grossense do Algodão - IMAmt. É possível observar diferenças marcantes de estrutura, estratégia e diversas outras variáveis analisadas nas organizações, o que dificulta comparações. Embora não tenham sido confirmadas as hipóteses sugeridas de que as organizações teriam surgido para competir no mercado de sementes ou para exercer poder de barganha nas negociações com empresas de grande porte, a avaliação de algumas variáveis motivacionais leva a crer que os ganhos dos agricultores estão na influência que exercem sobre o direcionamento das pesquisas realizadas pelas organizações e na celeridade com que acessam os seus resultados, na forma de novas cultivares. O financiamento dessas pesquisas sob a forma de uma ação coletiva possibilita diluir os seus elevados custos. Os achados também apontam a preocupação dos entrevistados com a baixa taxa de suprimento de novas cultivares ao mercado e estreitamento genético que coloca em risco as culturas de grande expressão econômica no caso de haver agravamento de incidência de pragas. Por fim, questiona-se a sustentabilidade das organizações em ambiente de concorrência acirrada, haja em vista que, em grande parte, foram estruturadas para compensar limitações do sistema público de pesquisa. Diante do exposto, percebeu-se, nas entrevistas, haver uma movimentação no sentido de aperfeiçoar as estratégias mercadológicas, com o aproveitamento dos mecanismos legais disponíveis, como a Lei de Proteção de Cultivares, e a realização de parcerias com empresas multinacionais.
Plant breeding is the very first step of agro-industrial systems. It is responsible for creating new varieties and providing farmers with the seeds to be used in agricultural production to supply the country\'s demand. The present study aims to investigate the establishment of private entities engaged in plant breeding, belonging to groups of farmers. The observation of this phenomenon can assist the development of institutional mechanisms for strengthening collective actions, especially if they are of public interest and important as a strategy for the Brazilian agribusiness. It is intended, therefore, to answer the following research question: What are the incentives for collective organizations to engage in plant breeding? The present investigation is classified as qualitative with exploratory purposes. It is based on a multiple case study and takes account the concepts of the economics of organizations using specific motivational variables divided into two dimensions: institutional environment and market structure. The organizations are: Cooperativa Central Gaúcha Ltda. - CCGL, Cooperativa Central de Pesquisa Agrícola - Coodetec, Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira - CTC, Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa Agropecuária de Mato Grosso - Fundação MT, and Instituto Mato-Grossense do Algodão - IMAmt. We observed remarkable differences in structure, strategy and other variables analyzed in organizations, making any kind of comparison difficult. Although the suggested hypotheses have not been confirmed - i.e. that the organizations have arisen to compete in the seed market or to exercise bargaining power against big companies-the assessment of some motivational variables suggests that the gains of the farmers could be driving the research conducted by the organizations toward their own interests and, in the short term, to access new varieties. Funding research in a collective action allows reduction of their high costs. The findings also indicate some concern of respondents about the low rate of supply of new varieties to the market and genetic narrowing which increases susceptibility of crops to pests. Finally, one can question the sustainability of organizations in a fiercely competitive environment, considering that they have been structured to compensate the limitations of public research. Lastly, it was noted in the interviews, that there is a movement in collective organizations towards improving marketing strategies, by taking advantage of legal mechanisms available, such as the Plant Variety Protection Law and building partnerships with multinational companies.

Résumé :

Les plantes produisent une remarquable diversité de métabolites pour faire face aux contraintes d’un environnement en constante fluctuation. Cependant la manière dont les plantes ont atteint un tel degré de complexité métabolique et les forces responsables de cette diversité chimique reste largement incomprise. On considère généralement que le mécanisme de duplication des gènes contribue pour une grande part à l’évolution naturelle. En absence de transfert horizontal, les gènes d’évolution récente se cantonnent généralement chez quelques espèces et sont soumis à une évolution rapide, alors que les gènes conservés et plus anciens ont une distribution beaucoup plus large et sont porteurs de fonctions essentielles. Il est donc intéressant d’étudier l’adaptation des plantes en analysant parallèlement les gènes qui présentent soit une large distribution taxonomique, soit une distribution plus restreinte, de type lignée-spécifique. Les cytochromes P450 (CYP) constituent l’une des plus vastes familles de protéines chez les plantes, présentant des phylogénies très conservées ou très branchées qui illustrent la plasticité métabolique et la diversité chimique. Pour illustrer l’évolution des fonctions des cytochromes P450 dans le métabolisme végétal, nous avons sélectionné trois gènes, l’un très conservé au cours de l’évolution, CYP715A1 et les deux autres, CYP98A8 et CYP98A9, très récemment spécialisés de manière lignée spécifique chez les Brassicaceae. Les gènes appartenant à la famille CYP715 ont évolué avant la divergence entre gymnospermes et angiospermes, et sont le plus souvent présent en copie unique dans les génomes végétaux. Ceci suggère que leur fonction est essentielle et très conservée chez les plantes à graines (spermaphytes). Sur la base d’une analyse transcriptionnelle et de l’expression du gène GUS sous le contrôle du promoteur de CYP715A1, il est apparu que ce gène est spécifiquement exprimé au cours du développement floral, dans les cellules tapétales des jeunes boutons floraux ainsi que dans les filaments lors de l’anthèse. CYP715A1 est également fortement induit dans les cellules du péricycle de la zone d’élongation racinaire en réponse au stress salin. L’induction par le sel nécessite une région promotrice située entre 2 et 3 kb en amont de la région codante (i.e ; codon START), ce qui suggère la présence d’un facteur cis à cet endroit. Afin de déterminer la fonction de CYP715A1 chez Arabidopsis thaliana, j’ai identifié deux mutants d’insertion de T-DNA par génotypage et complémenté ces mutants avec le gène natif. La perte de fonction de CYP715A1 n’a pas d’impact sur la croissance et la fertilité de la plante en conditions de laboratoire. Cependant, une analyse par microscopie électronique en transmission montre un phénotype d’intine ondulée. La perte de fonction du gène CYP715A1 a également entraîné une réduction de la taille des pétales et un défaut d’anthèse. [...]
Plants produce a remarkable diversity of secondary metabolites to face continually challenging and fluctuating environmental constraints. However, how plants have reached such a high degree of metabolic complexity and what are the evolutionary forces responsible for this chemodiversity still remain largely unclarified. Gene evolution based on gene birth and extinction has been reported to nicely reflect the natural evolution. Without horizontal gene transfer, young genes are often restricted to a few species and have undergone rapid evolution, whereas old genes can be broadly distributed and are always indicative of essential housekeeping functions. It is thus of interest to study plant adaptation with parallel focus on both taxonomically widespread and lineage-specific genes. P450s are one of the largest protein families in plants, featuring both conserved and branched phylogenies. Examples of P450 properties reflecting metabolic versatility, chemodiversity and thus plant adaptation have been reported. To illustrate evolution of P450 functions in plant metabolism, we selected two P450 genes, one evolutionary conserved CYP715A1 and the second a recently specialized lineage-specific gene CYP98A9 in Arabidopsis thaliana.CYP715s evolved before the divergence between gymnosperms and angiosperms and are present in single copy in most sequenced plant genomes, suggesting an essential housekeeping function highly conserved across seed plants. Based on transcriptome analysis and promoter-driven GUS expression, CYP715A1 is selectively expressed in tapetal cells of young buds and filaments of open flowers during flower development. In addition, CYP715A1 is highly induced in the pericycle cells of the root elongation zone upon salt stress. The salt induction relies on the 2-3kb region of CYP715A1 promoter, suggesting some salt-response elements may exist in this area. To characterize the function of CYP715A1 in Arabidopsis, I identified two T-DNA insertion mutants by genotyping and confirmed by complementation with native CYP715A1 gene. Loss of function of CYP715A1 has no impact on plant growth and fertility in laboratory conditions. However, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis has shown constant undulated intine phenotype in two knockout mutants and also the petal growth is significantly inhibited. These two phenotypes nicely match the native expression pattern of CYP715A1. Gene co-expression analysis suggests involvement of CYP715A1 in gibberellin (GA) metabolism under salt treatment. GAs profiling on mutant flowers also indicates reduced accumulation specific GAs. Unfortunately, no significant phenotype either related to root growth or root architecture under salt treatment can be observed. Recombinant expression of the CYP715A1 enzyme in yeast so far does not allow confirming GAmetabolism. However, metabolic profiling of inflorescences in mutants and over-expression lines, together with transcriptome analysis of the loss of function cyp715a1 mutants strongly support a CYP715A1 role in signaling, hormone homeostasis and volatile emission in agreement with the purifying selection leading to gene conservation observed in spermatophytes.[...]

Résumé :

Cette thèse porte sur la régulation des innovations en Europe. Elle examine en particulier l'impact économique des procédures d'Autorisation de Mise sur le Marché (AMM) sur les comportements des acteurs économiques à savoir les firmes innovantes. Il s'agit d'un travail appliqué au secteur de la santé des plantes dans lequel l'AMM joue un rôle central. En effet, dans ce secteur, la mise sur le marché des pesticides est subordonnée à une autorisation officielle. Les procédures d'autorisation de mise sur le marché (AMM) des nouveaux produits consistent à vérifier qu'ils n'ont pas d'effets toxiques inacceptables sur la santé et l'environnement et à définir des conditions d'utilisation dans lesquelles ces produits sont réputés efficaces. En Europe, ces procédures sont instruites par des autorités européennes ou nationales. Dans le cas des pesticides, les matières actives sont autorisées à l'échelle européenne, les spécialités commerciales le sont à l'échelle nationale, par reconnaissance mutuelle au sein d'une zone géographique. Au cours des dernières décennies, les exigences dans le domaine des risques sanitaires ont conduit à un renforcement des contraintes imposées pour la mise en marché des produits phytosanitaires. Ces exigences renforcées ont conduit à une réduction du nombre de molécules autorisées en rapport au nombre de molécules potentiellement efficaces. Par exemple, le nombre de molécules pesticides autorisées a été réduit de moitié (de 800 à 400) au cours des dix dernières années. C'est pourquoi, l'objet principal de cette recherche est d'étudier les effets des procédures d'AMM sur le comportement des firmes agrochimiques. Cette recherche s'articule autour de trois chapitres. Le premier chapitre est théorique. Il analyse les interactions stratégiques entre les agences de régulation des pesticides dans un contexte d'autorisation de mise sur le marché par reconnaissance mutuelle. Le chapitre 2 est à la fois théorique et empirique et porte sur les délais de mise sur le marché des substances actives phytosanitaires. Dans le chapitre 3, nous examinons, à l'aide d'un modèle théorique, l'impact de la régulation des pesticides sur les incitations des firmes agrochimiques à investir en R&D
This thesis focuses on the regulation of innovations in Europe. In particular, it analyses the economic impact of the market approval procedures on the behavior of economic actors such as innovative firms. This is an applied work in the health sector of plants in which the market approval procedures play a central role. Indeed, in this area, the introduction on the market of pesticides is subject to an official approval. The market approval procedures for new products are to ensure that they do not have unacceptable toxic effects on human health and the environment and to define the conditions of use in which these products were efficient. In Europe, these procedures are investigated by European or national authorities. In the case of pesticides, the active substances are approved at EU level and the pesticides formulation at the national level through mutual recognition within a geographic area. In recent decades, the requirements in the field of health risks have led to a strengthening of the constraints imposed on the approval of pesticides. These stringent requirements have led to a reduction in the number of approved molecules relative to the number of molecules potentially efficient. For example, the number of approved actives substances was reduced by half (800 to 400) over the last ten years. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to study the effects of market approval procedures on the behavior of agrochemical companies. This research is based on three chapters. The first chapter is theoretical. It analyses the strategic interactions between pesticide regulatory agencies in the context of market approval through the mutual recognition system. The chapter 2 is both a theoretical and an empirical work. It examines the examination delays of plant protection active substances. In Chapter 3, we examine, using a theoretical model, the impact of the regulation of pesticides on the incentives of agrochemical companies to invest in R & D

Résumé :

This thesis analyses novel technology for renewable electricity generation: the solar thermal chimney (STC) power plant and the suspended chimney (SC) as a plant component. The STC consists of a solar collector, a tall chimney located at the centre of the collector, and turbines and generators at the base of the chimney. Air heated in the collector rises up the chimney under buoyancy and generates power in the turbines. STCs have the potential to generate large amounts of power, but research is required to improve their economic viability. A state-of-the-art STC model was developed, focussing on accurate simulation of collector thermodynamics, and providing data on flow characteristics and plant performance. It was used to explore power generation for matched component dimensions, where for given chimney heights, a range of chimney and collector radii were investigated. Matched dimensions are driven by the collector thermal components approaching thermal equilibrium. This analysis was complemented with a simple cost model to identify the most cost-effective STC configurations. The collector canopy is an exceptionally large structure. Many of the designs proposed in the literature are either complex to manufacture or limit performance. This thesis presents and analyses a series of novel canopy profiles which are easier to manufacture and can be incorporated with little loss in performance. STC chimneys are exceptionally tall slender structures and supporting their self-weight is difficult. This thesis proposes to re-design the chimney as a fabric structure, held aloft with lighter-than-air gas. The performance of initial, small scale suspended chimney prototypes under lateral loading was investigated experimentally to assess the response to wind loads. A novel method of stiffening is proposed and design of larger prototypes developed. The economic viability of a commercial-scale suspended chimney was investigated, yielding cost reductions compared to conventional chimney designs.

Résumé :

Measuring innovation as a strategic objective allows companies to gauge their performance and stay competitive. This study examines how the introduction of a metrics-oriented governance tool can be used to strengthen the innovation performance in an industrial setting. Key dimensions of capabilities for innovation are identified, and the role of measurement in allowing a company to become more innovative is discussed. The core findings of the study suggest that the most prominent innovation capabilities are cross-functional collaboration, organisational culture, knowledge integrating mechanisms and the existence of a formulated innovation strategy. These capabilities should not be measured or analysed separately as they depend on each other. Therefore the set of metrics proposed in this study are meant to provide a holistic view of the wide range of capabilities that together form the basis for the companies innovativeness. From a practice-oriented perspective, the thesis aims to build on these two sets of analysis to propose a set of metrics for the monitoring of innovation capabilities at a specific large, Swedish-based industrial company. The analysis of the innovation capabilities at the case company serves as a diagnostary basis for understanding the issues regarding the organisations innovativeness. A need for further research on how the innovation strategy can be aligned with the business strategy of the company would be beneficial is also identified.
Genom att mäta innovation som ett strategiskt mål kan företag utvärdera sin prestationsförmåga samt vidhålla sin konkurrenskraft. Den här studien undersöker hur introduktionen av ett mätorienterat styrmedel kan stärka innovationsförmågan hos ett företag, verksamt i en industriell miljö. Därav identifieras nyckelfaktorer som utgör ett företags innovationsförmåga samt diskuteras rollen som mätning spelar i företagets innovationsarbete. Studien lyfter fram tvärfunktionellt samarbete, organisationskultur, kunskapsintegrerande mekanismer samt att ha en formulerad innovationsstrategi som de viktigaste faktorerna för företagets innovationsförmåga. Dessa faktorer bör inte mätas separat då de till stor del beror av varandra. Därför ämnar de mätetal som föreslås i den här studien att skapa en holistisk bild av den mängd faktorer som tillsammans utgör företagets innovationsförmåga. Praktiskt innebär detta att studien tar avstamp i två analysområden för att föreslå en samling mätetal som kan användas för att överblicka innovationsförmågan hos ett specifikt större industriellt företag. Analysen av faktorerna bakom företagets innovationsförmåga bygger en teoretisk bas för tolkandet av identifierade innovationsproblem inom organisationen. Författarna identifierar även ett behov av vidare studier som undersöker hur företagets innovationsstrategi kan sammanlänkas med affärsstrategin.

Résumé :

A radical shift in consumption and production of food is necessary to combat climate change. This has sparked interest in diets and their implications on the environment, both among researchers and among consumers. Plant-based dairy substitutes is one field of products that is experiencing significant growth. The dynamics in the market have created many opportunities for startups to enter the market with new products. However, because of the novelty of the topic, business models for sustainable food startups is a lacking area of research. Further, in order to successfully enter the market, it is essential for startups to fully understand the market dynamics from a holistic perspective. To investigate the mechanisms driving the transformation, as well as the potential windows of opportunity for startups, a survey and interviews were conducted. The survey had the aim of understanding the drivers of change among the consumers. The interviews were conducted with multiple startups and related organizations, which aimed to discuss the survey results while looking at the supply side of the market. The survey results presented interesting insights such as potential target consumers, consumer preferences in the plant-based dairy space, and potential gaps in the market. This was followed by the interviews where the business models, industrial dynamics and challenges were explored. The results were analyzed by theoretical frameworks such as the multi-level perspective. This study concluded that a transition towards plant-based dairy substitutes is occurring and is mainly driven by concern for veganism/animal welfare and climate change in combination with R&D efforts which are rapidly improving the products’ taste, price and convenience. This transition has raised new windows of opportunity for startups to capture the market share with viable business model innovation. However, changing diets takes a large amount of time and many political institutions work to protect the dairy industry.
Radikala förändringar i hur mat/dryck konsumeras och produceras är nödvändigt för att motverka klimatförändringar. Det här har lett till ett ökat intresse för olika dieters påverkan påmiljön. Det ökade intresset syns både inom forskning och bland konsumenter. Växtbaserade mejeri-substitut är ett sortiment av produkter som just nu växer kraftigt. Intresset på marknadenhar skapat många möjligheter för startups att etablera nya produkter. Eftersom det här är en ny och växande marknad så är forskningen kring hållbara mat/dryck-startups mycket begränsad. Vidare så måste startups förstå marknaden ur ett helhetsperspektiv för att framgångsrikt kunna etablera sig med nya produkter. För att undersöka vilka mekanismer som driver transformationen mot växtbaserademejeri-substitut, och vilka möjligheter som finns för startup, så har en enkätundersökning och intervjuer utförts. Enkäten syftade till att förstå vilka faktorer hos konsumenter som driver den här förändringen. Intervjuerna utfördes med olika startups och andra relevanta organisationer och syftade till att diskutera enkätresultaten samt att förstå marknaden ur producenternas perspektiv. Enkätresultaten innehöll intressanta insikter, såsom potentiella målkunder, kundpreferenser inom växtbaserade mejeriprodukter samt potentiella möjligheter på marknaden. Intervjuerna diskuterade startups affärsmodeller, dynamiken på marknaden och de största utmaningarna. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående av bland annat multi-level perspective. Slutsatsen i studien var att det just nu sker en övergång till växtbaserade mejeri-substitut och att detta främst är drivet av ökad hänsyn för veganism/djurskydd samt klimatförändringar i kombination med R&D-utveckling som snabbt förbättrat produkternas smak, pris och bekvämlighet. Den här övergången har skapat nya möjligheter för startups att ge sig in på marknaden genom nya innovativa affärsmodeller. Men det tar lång tid för ett samhälle att ändra sina kostvanor, och många politiska institutioner arbetar aktivt för att skydda mejeriindustrin.

Résumé :

Nuestro proyecto busca desarrollar una idea de negocio a partir de un problema. Para ello consta de dos grandes etapas: la primera etapa de búsqueda y validación del problema, y la segunda etapa referente al desarrollo de la idea de negocio. Sabemos que la tendencia a vivir en lugares más pequeños es notoria en la población, especialmente en Lima, por ello el problema central que se identificó fue la falta de espacio para la decoración natural en viviendas. En la primera etapa, se realizaron entrevistas al público objetivo y a expertos que nos permitieron validar la viabilidad de la idea de negocio: jardines verticales a base de musgo vivo. La idea surgió como alternativa sencilla para combatir contaminación ambiental, adatándola al mercado peruano, con un mayor énfasis en la asesoría estética y el diseño, educando siempre en la importancia de la protección del medio ambiente. En la segunda etapa, se determinaron los planes a seguir para la evolución de una empresa a partir de esta pequeña idea. Dentro de este análisis se rescatan, la importancia de las operaciones de instalación y desarrollo tecnológico. Nuestro diferencial recae en el musgo, gracias a su sencillo mantenimiento y su bajo costo de implementación y adaptación. Las proyecciones indican que, bajo una tasa de descuento del 14.64%, lograremos un VAN de S/. 74,134 con una tasa interna de retorno de 53.13%. Con estos números, nuestro proyecto representa una gran oportunidad de inversión con una base de investigación biotecnológica que otorga un gran diferencial.
Our project seeks to develop a business idea from a problem. It consists of two major stages: the first stage of search and validation of the problem, and the second stage concerning the development of the business idea. We know that the tendency to live in smaller places is notorious in the population, especially in Lima, so the central problem that was identified was the lack of space for natural decoration in homes. In the first stage, interviews were conducted with the target market and experts, which allowed us to validate the viability of the business idea: vertical gardens based on live moss. The idea emerged as a simple alternative to counter environmental pollution, adapting it to the Peruvian market, with a greater emphasis on aesthetic advice and design, always educating on the importance of environmental protection. In the second stage, the plans to be followed for the evolution of a company were determined from this small idea. Within this analysis, the importance of installation and technological development operations are rescued. Our differential lies in the moss, thanks to its simple maintenance and its low cost of implementation and adaptation. Projections indicate that, under a discount rate of 14.64%, we will achieve a NPV of S/. 74,134 with an internal rate of return of 53.13%. With these numbers, our project represents a great investment opportunity with a biotechnological research base that grants a large differential.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Technology itself does not currently offer a competitive advantage in this era of technological development. Innovative utilisation and application of technology does, however offer temporary competitive advantages. This innovative utilisation and application of technology is dependant on the creativity and innovation of the entrepreneur. CaliWatch™ makes use of existing technology namely cellular technology, watch technology and medical monitoring technology. The unique application of these technologies gives CaliWatch™competitive advantage in the market. The innovation does not only apply to the technology, but also to strategy and marketing to keep this competitive advantage in the market. This study analyses the different technologies and industries, identifying potential target markets and give projected financial information.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tegnologie op sigself bied tans nie meer mededingende voordele in die era van tegnologiese ontwikkeling nie. Innoverende gebruik en toepassing van tegnologie bied wel tydelike mededingende voordele. Hierdie innoverende toepassing en gebruik berus op die kreatiwiteit en innovasie van die entrepreneur. CaliWatch TM maak gebruik van bestaande tegnologieë, naamlik sellulêre tegnologie, horlosie tegnologie, en mediese monitering tegnologie. Die unieke toepassing van hierdie tegnologieë bied CaliWatchTM mededingende voordeel in die mark. Die innovasie berus nie slegs by die toepassing van tegnologie nie, maar, om die mededinginde voordeel te behou, ook by die strategiese beplanning en bemarking. Hierdie studie ontleed die verskillende tegnologieë en industrieë, identifiseer potentiele teikenmarkte, en maak geprojekteerde finansiële vooruitskouinge.

Mestrado Vinifera EuroMaster - Instituto Superior de Agronomia
The nursery business is the starting point for wine production, influence qualitatively and quantitatively all vintages production. The aim of the trial is to deepen the knowledge on certain aspects of the production and some innovative products in the segment of the production of the young vine. Furthermore, will also take into consideration the case of an innovative product in the marketing stage, which takes the name of "barbatellone", which aims to replace the dead vines in the vineyards and anticipate the entry into production of new vineyards. Results in nursery showed that, the omega grafts affect the nursery success. The yields of field is linked to the time of plantation; later is the period of the plantation and is lower the yield in the field, then you must tend to implant in early periods in order to improve yields. The evaluation tests related to the techniques to detect the grafts-cuttings suitable to plantation have produced positive results that have shown that it is possible to make other improvements in the production chain. For the “Barbatellone” the results showed that, the row distances did not affect nursery successful. Instead, plant density influenced the stock and shoot diameters that were increased by the greatest in-row distance. Results showed that bunch removal. affected shoot elongation, daily shoot growth, stem diameter, pruning mass and root mass. Yield was correlated with the nursery shoot diameter. Prevalence of thin roots (less than 3 mm) was recorded in all thesis

Résumé :

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais
Este trabalho final de Mestrado indaga da viabilidade económica e financeira da exploração de uma App ? aplicação para uso em telemóveis e smartphones, neste caso direcionada para clientes que procurem oficinas, e serviços para as suas viaturas. É uma aplicação inovadora no seu conteúdo e dirigida a uma ?oferta? de micro e médias empresas, maioritariamente, sem capacidade para dispor de marketing e publicidade próprios, com uma ?procura? pulverizada e ocasional. Tem, por isso, potencialidades para criar e consolidar um canal direto entre fornecedores e clientes. Numa primeira fase, apenas no sector automóvel, expandindo para motos e barcos de recreio, bem como, inicialmente no Distrito de Lisboa, alargando para a zona metropolitana de Lisboa e Porto. Procedeu-se à recolha e análise de documentação teórica, quer sobre os aspetos relevantes para a conceção e desenvolvimento da App, quer sobre as razões de aceitabilidade/rejeição de Apps pelos mercados, quer ainda sobre as razões de sucesso de algumas das mais conhecidas Apps. Enquadrou-se, teoricamente, com base em diversa documentação publicada, a apresentação de um quadro final de análise da viabilidade económica e financeira, tendo em conta a análise do mercado que se auscultou por intermédio de entrevistas a oficinas e inquéritos lançados ao público. O resultado obtido parece encorajador para o lançamento da App, de acordo com os pressupostos considerados, testando mesmo a sensibilidade a algumas variações desfavoráveis.
This Master's final work asks the economic and financial viability of the exploitation of an App - application for use in mobile and smartphones - in this case aimed at customers looking for repair shops, and services for their vehicles. It is an innovative application in its content and directed to an "offer" of micro and medium enterprises, mostly, without the capacity to have its own marketing and advertising, with a pulverized and occasional "demand". It has, therefore, the potential to create and consolidate a direct channel between suppliers and customers. In the first phase, only in the automotive sector, expanding to motorcycles and pleasure boats, as well as, initially in the District of Lisbon, extending to the metropolitan area of Lisbon and Oporto. Theoretical documentation was collected and analysed, both on the aspects relevant to the design and development of the App, as well as on the reasons for acceptability / rejection of App's by the markets, as well as on the reasons for the success of some of the most well-known Apps. It was theoretically based on a number of published documents that a final framework for analyzing economic and financial viability was presented, taking into account the market analysis that was audited through interviews at both ends of the intended channel create: the repair shops and the clients. The result seems to be encouraging for the launch of the App, according to the assumptions considered, even testing the sensitivity to some unfavorable variations.

Résumé :

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
Nowadays people have an increased concern with health and wellness. However, although this existent trend, some segments of the food industry as the Nuts & Seeds Market are not as well-explored as they can be in order to present more suitable solutions to fit consumers’ needs. Under these circumstances, and along with PepsiCo Iberia, the paper is focused on the launch of innovative vegetables in Spain to be traded as nuts in order to suit consumers’ trends and to accomplish some of this world’s leader marketing objectives. The main conclusion that can be attained is that the product would most likely benefit the company’s activity, shaping the path of snacks into a healthier future.

Résumé :

Vårt examensarbete är baserat på ett behov från August Lundh AB i Eskilstuna, att designa om en befintlig engångsmingelbricka till en flergångsmingelbricka. Brickan ska kunna användas med August Lundh ABs befintliga kollektion med vin – och ölglas.

Arbetet har utgått ifrån den designprocess som SVID, Stiftelsen Svensk Industridesign, har tagit fram. Denna process består av olika steg: Utgångspunkt, användarstudier, koncept & visualisering, utvärdering & konceptval, justering & genomförande samt uppföljning & utvärdering. Den sista punkten har vi avgränsat oss ifrån och lagt på uppdragsgivaren.

De verktyg och studier som har varit nödvändiga för vårt arbete har beskrivits i punkten användarstudier. Sedan har dessa verktyg och studier används för att analysera och utvärdera fram ett slutkoncept.

Bakgrundsundersökning har utförts genom fördjupningar och intervjuer som var relevanta för vårt arbete.

Kostnad har inte tagits upp någonting då uppdragsgivaren har tagit ansvar för detta, tillverkning och materialval har endast granskats ytligt då detta redan var bestämt vid projektets start av uppdragsgivaren.

Resultatet är en multifunktionell mingelbricka som tillfredställer flera parter och som uppfyller de krav som staplas i kravspecifikationen och löser problemformuleringen. Mingelbrickan blir multifunktionell då den passar August Lundh ABs öl- och vinglas och medger möjlighet till två olika grepp. Dessa grepp är antingen tumgrepp vid mingelbrickans kant eller att greppa glaset då mingelbrickan är placerad ovanpå. Brickan ger även möjlighet till stabil förtäring vid placering direkt på bord. Mingelbrickan kan bibehålla både fast och flytande föda då det finns plats för August Lundh ABs mindre skål samt indelade matfack. Vid behov av bestick kan till exempel en mindre gaffel placeras på brickan eller i ett hål vid brickans tumgrepp.

Uppdragsgivaren får resultatet av arbetet genom CAD-modell, ritningar samt fysisk modell.

Résumé :

In the last decades, the problem of refugees and the humanitarian organizations took a great significance because of the continuous increasing number of humanitarian crises. To this day, this problem is still more current than ever, due to the last crises in Syria and in the middle eastern, with the consequently movement of thousand people, call refugees, escaping wars and battle fields and looking for somewhere better. Crises born or by natural catastrophes, also call disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, blazes, tornado, blizzard, and other geologic processes, or are caused by man such as wars, economic crises, and social disparities. After these events are arrange by the humanitarian agencies camps to gather and give relief to refugees, where people can find shelters, food and a safe place to live temporarily. The humanitarian logistics becomes more and more important, not only as worldwide relief organizations, but also for the scientific community, takes suddenly interest, on this new research field. The humanitarian camps and the whole relief supply chains in fact suffered from inefficiency and other operational and management problems. Thanks to researchers works, humanitarian agencies start a gradual improving using methods, knowledge and equipment proper of industrial context and other innovative sectors never used before. The introduction of these improvements achieves the desire goals, makes the humanitarian supply chain more efficient and then more incisive during humanitarian missions. This triennial research thesis is focus on the improvements and innovations of mechanical plants usually use, or to be introduce in humanitarian camps. The projects present are real solutions for daily issues presents both in humanitarian logistics and developing regions in general. In this thesis will present three macro themes of research: the waste management, the lack of drinkable water and the production of energy (electricity) by renewable resources.

Résumé :

The use of natural light is very beneficial in office buildings because energy consumption can be reduced, and working conditions can be enhanced, which positively affect workers' health and productivity. However, bringing natural light into deep plan office buildings is not possible with simple windows or skylights, and light transport systems are necessary to bring natural light into the deep cores of buildings. Light transport systems usually need sun-tracking devices to collect natural light that are complicated, expensive and require continual maintenance. Mirrored light pipes coupled with laser cut panels (LCP) are a passive and simpler daylight transport solution and are the focus of this PhD research. The primary aim has been to improve the technology and achieve the most efficient passive solution possible through the interactive use of theoretical modelling, experimental measurements and case studies. Applications of this technology were investigated in two case studies: 1) as horizontal light pipes for daylight illumination of a high rise building proposal in the tropics; and 2) as vertical light pipes for daylight illumination of a middle-rise deep plan building proposal in a subtropical environment. In both cases, quantitative system performance under best (clear sunny sky) and worst (overcast) case scenarios was undertaken via scale model testing and mathematical modelling. The major conclusion for both case studies was that mirrored light pipe technologies, when coupled with LCP, were effective in introducing sufficient ambient light levels inside buildings and over distances > 20 m from the façade or roof. Average lux levels achieved in the space were 150 to 350 lux for the horizontal light pipes and 50 to 300 lux for vertical light pipes. However, as a passive solution, this technology has two major limitations: 1) the dependence on sun azimuth and elevation angles, which result in variations in illuminance levels during the day and the year; and potentially 2) pipe size, as pipes with a large diameter (e.g. 2 m in diameter for 20 m long pipes) are required for optimal performance, such that the large pipes may limit integration in building design. Two other solutions were assessed to circumvent these limitations to the mirrored light pipe technology: 1) a passive collector that concentrate natural light by using a fluorescent panel to reduce the size of the pipe, and 2) an active collector comprising a LCP rotating 360 degrees in a 24 hour cycle to reduce system dependence on sun azimuth and elevation angles. The low light-to-light efficiency of the fluorescent panels made them inappropriate for collecting sufficient amounts of daylight necessary for daylighting of large buildings. In contrast, the rotating LCP is a very simple active system that by rotating constantly at 15 degrees per hour, reduces the deviation angle between the panel orientation and sun azimuth angle, and significantly increased the system performance. The performance was generally better (e.g. 2.5 times better for light collection under low sun elevation angles) than the passive light pipe system with fixed LCP. However, active systems raise other issues in terms of cost-benefit in constructing, operating and maintaining such systems. Passive mirrored light pipes coupled with LCPs or simple active systems with rotating LCPs have great potential as daylight solutions for deep plan buildings as they can contribute to lowering overall energy consumption, improve workplace health and become an architectural design element. Research is still required on the implementation of the technology into buildings, but the growing trend towards 'green buildings', sustainable design and government regulations or building codes will require more daylighting use in buildings, and will motivate designers to increasingly consider and incorporate such daylighting strategies into future building designs.

Résumé :

This study aims to examine the possibilities and limitations ofresidual products from the Swedish food industry for new uses inpackaging design. The selection in the study is semi strategicallyrandom and through the selection four interviews were conductedvia e-mail, two interviews from RISE and two from the Swedishdesign agencies Snask and Bedow. The interviews are based on thestudy's question issues; What innovative packaging materials withproperties corresponding to plastics are available in the Swedishmarket? And How does a selection of Swedish design agenciesapproach the innovative packaging materials available on theSwedish market? Through results and analysis we have come tothe conclusion that there is a great awareness of design agencieswhen it comes to making environmentally conscious designdecisions and that it is highly relevant in today's society. Duringthe study, interesting packaging material was discovered. What hasalso emerged is that it is a matter of course to have to be climatefriendly as everything depends on demand from customers andconsumers. There are no direct regulations to relate to, but it is upto each individual how to relate to a more sustainabledevelopment. However, in order for a societal transformation totake place, collaboration between the various social sectors isrequired (Svenska vetenskapsrådet Formas, 2018).

Résumé :

Innovation är betydande för ett företags överlevnad, tillväxt och förmåga att behålla sinkonkurrenskraft. Innovationsarbetet i företag är vanligtvis organiserat i ett flertal projekt somföljer företagets innovationsprocess. Forskning visar dock på svårigheter i val av innovationsprocess och det finns det ett behov av att anpassa processen för det tilltänktaföretaget som ska använda den.Denna studie genomfördes med kvalitativa metoder på de högteknologiska företaget Mips ettföretag med 14 anställda. Syftet med studien var att skapa förutsättningar för Mips att arbeta medinkrementell och radikal innovation för fortsatt framskriden marknadsposition på den globalamarknaden. Studien innehöll semi strukturerade intervjuer med 13 av de 14 anställda på Mipsoch tillsammans med observationer blev materialet analyserat. Resultatet var fyraförbättringsområden som vidareutvecklades tillsammans med de anställda genom treåterkopplings iterationer till ett förbättringsförslag.Förbättringsförslaget är en plan för hantering av innovation innehållande skapandet av eninnovationsstrategi för att förtydliga företagets mål, implementation av en grupp som ska hanteraprojektportföljen och implementation av en process för genomförande av utvecklingsprojekt.Planen för hantering av innovation beskriver ansvarsområden för respektive av de berördafunktionerna i organisationen. Den föreslagna processen för genomförande av utvecklingsprojektär en iterativ process innehållande metoder för att skapa empati för de tilltänkta användarna,definiera vad som är viktigt för användarna och projektet, metoder för att generera idéer frånolika perspektiv och hur idéerna kan konkretiseras, testas och utvärderas. I processen finns ävenett förslag på ett system för evaluering av projekt genom status- och beslutsmöten samtansvarsområden inom utvecklingsprojekt för de olika funktionerna.Betydande resultat från studien är bekräftelsen att Mips, ett företag av liten storlek står införliknande utmaningar som företag av större storlek. Exempel på dessa är behov av struktur vidrealisering av innovations projekt, tydlig ansvarsfördelning, tydliga mål och frihet för deanställda att själva styra över implementationen av målen.
Innovation is key factor for a business survival, growth and in order to stay competitive. Theinnovation at a company is usually organized in projects following the company's innovation process. However, research shows the difficulties to choose an innovation process and simplyimplementing a process to an organization is unlikely to succeed. Thus, a process should becustomized to the company were it would be used.The study is based on qualitative methods at the small high-tech company Mips with the purposeto create conditions for Mips to enable working with incremental and radical innovation tosustain as a company on the global market. The study included semi-structured interviews with13 out of 14 of employees at Mips and observations that thereafter was summarized and analyzed. The result was four areas of improvement that later was transformed into one improvement proposal through three feedback iterations together with the employees at Mips. The improvement proposal is an execution plan for managing innovation that includes creating an innovation strategy to clarify the company goals, implementing a project portfoliomanagement team to assess the project portfolio and implementing a process for developmentprojects. The execution plan for managing innovation describes responsibilities for the functionsin the organization. The suggested process is an iterative process that contains methods to gainempathy for the users, defining what is of importance for the users and the projects, differentmethods to generating ideas from different perspectives and how to turn the ideas tangible, how to test and get feedback from the concepts. There is a proposed system for how to assess the projects through status- and decision meetings and a structure for who is responsible for what inthe development projects. The main finding in this study is that it confirms that Mips as a small company was facing similar challenges as larger firms are facing such as need of structure for how to conduct innovation projects, clear responsibility distribution, clear goals and freedom for the employees to choose how to implement the goals.

Roby, Helen. « Using innovation and business models to analyse the organisational embedding of travel plans ». Thesis, Open University, 2010. http://oro.open.ac.uk/26151/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Workplace travel planning began in the UK in the early 1990s. With over ten years of experience in travel plans in the UK, this thesis demonstrates how they have developed, matured and the extent to which they have become embedded into the organisations working practices as a business management tool. This work is distinct from previous research, as it concentrates on the business perspective of travel plans, through a series of in depth interviews within organisations. These interviews were analysed using innovation and business models, such as elements of Rogers' (2003) Diffusion of Innovations and Mintzberg's (1983) Structure in Fives, Designing Effective Organisations, to explore the impact of the characteristics and structure of an organisation on the embedding of a travel plan. This thesis identified factors that have helped to organisationally embed travel plans. A key finding was to show that the motivations for a travel plan change as it matures, from those of external regulation through the planning process, to internal goals such as corporate responsibility and the environment, business growth and human resources issues. This research has shown the importance of linking travel plans to these organisational goals in the embedding process. However, successful embedding is not easy. A travel plan can either remain siloed within an estates function or become so widely dispersed that the benefits are poorly visible. In either case the travel plan runs the risk of being marginalised or lost. The research has also shown that this process of embedding is reliant on the adaptation of the travel plan to match the culture and working practices within an organisation, and that this process of adaptation can be dependent on the position of the travel planner within a strategic area of the organisation. It is concluded that travel planning policy is too focussed on the early stages of adoption and not enough on growing and maturing travel plans, with the result that they are too narrow, and unlikely to yield the business benefits that will secure their long term future.

Résumé :

This project was born with the aim of developing an environmentally and financially sustainable process to dispose of end-life tires. In this perspective was devised an innovative static bed batch pilot reactor where pyrolysis can be carried out on the whole tires in order to recover energy and materials and simultaneously save the energy costs of their shredding. The innovative plant is also able to guarantee a high safety of the process thanks to the presence of a hydraulic guard. The pilot plant was used to pyrolyze new and end-life tires at temperatures from 400 to 600°C with step of 50°C in presence of steam. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of the maximum process temperature on yields and chemical-physics properties of pyrolysis products. In addition, in view of a scale-up of the plant in continuous mode, the influence of the nature of several different tires as well as the effects of the aging on the final products were studied. The same pilot plant was also used to carry out pyrolysis on polymeric matrix composites in order to obtain chemical feedstocks from the resin degradation together with the recovery of the reinforcement in the form of fibers. Carbon fibers reinforced composites ad fiberglass was treated in the 450-600°C range and the products was fully characterized. A second oxidative step was performed on the pyrolysis solid residue in order to obtain the fibers in a suitable condition for a subsequent re-impregnation in order to close the composite Life Cycle in a cradle-to-cradle approach. These investigations have demonstrated that steel wires, char, carbon and glass fibers recovered in the prototypal plant as solid residues can be a viable alternative to pristine materials, making use of them to obtain new products with a commercial added value.

All modem cities-characterized by paved roads, rooftops, parking lots, and impacted soils-have serious problems with stormwater, and those problems are only growing as urbanization proceeds and climate change causes more severe weather events. Historically, cities have used gray infrastructure to manage stormwater; this is not only costly but causes an array of environmental problems. Proponents have long advocated using a green infrastructure approach, which has numerous advantages over traditional gray infrastructure systems. Nevertheless, very few U.S. cities have invested in green infrastructure on a significant scale. The question, then, is why have cities resisted adopting green infrastructure, and what would it take for them to choose a landscape-based approach to stormwater management over a conventional engineering solution? To answer this question, I studied a city that recently decided to embrace green infrastructure in a big way: Philadelphia. I argue that (i) new stormwater regulations and the 1990 withdrawal of federal funding changed the constraints and incentives for the city to make green infrastructure viable, particularly for a cash-strapped city; (2) a policy entrepreneur in the Philadelphia Water Department did two key things in preparation for a future policy window: he created an office organized around watersheds, and began redefining the problem; and (3) the policy entrepreneur capitalized on a regulatory policy window, the Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Plan Update, that garnered momentum from the city's decision to "re-brand" itself as a green city and galvanized support for the $1.6 billion plan for green infrastructure across the city. These conclusions are supported by evidence from Philadelphia's decision to adopt a green infrastructure approach to manage runoff. Finally, I discuss the implications of these findings and make recommendations for the implementation of the plan.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.
INTRODUCTION: This research report investigates the feasibility of an innovative food outlet in Cape Town called HOME CHEF. The food and groceries industry is continuously changing to suit the needs of individuals and to respond to current economic and health trends. Charles Darwin observed, “It‟s not the strongest nor the most intelligent creature that survives. It's the one that is most responsive to change” (Goodreads). HOME CHEF is a new business concept with a unique approach to assist people with the acquisition of their groceries and the preparation of their home-cooked meals, whilst providing a variety of different meal options for a typical family. With Darwin‟s theory in mind, HOME CHEF will respond to the changing environment by taking advantage of evolving food and retail trends. HOME CHEF will target a large market that includes the typical fast food, online retail and grocery segment. Because of the demographic variety of the customer base and due to the innovative nature behind the HOME CHEF concept, little information regarding, market trends, operations and existing strategies was available. Innovative approaches had to be used to acquire the information required for a suitable business plan.

Résumé :

This thesis reviews the case of Plan 6 cost-sharing to explore the nature of policy reform and the political factors which can hinder or coax change. Plan 6 comprises regulatory storage components of the Central Arizona Project and dam safety components of the Salt River Project in Arizona. Arizona entities responded to the cost-sharing reform movement by developing an agreement reflecting increased an "up-front" local contributions to Plan 6 and CAP construction. The Plan 6 case is analyzed by linking observed political responses to proposed reform with operative policy arenas. Shifts within or between arenas indicate a degree of policy incrementalism or innovation, respectively. The analysis found a coincidence of moderate levels of innovation and strong incrementalism. The strength of a traditional water development network and the absence of direct in put from reformers at critical points in the agreement development were primary factors hindering full reform.

Résumé :

El presente plan de negocios “S.O.S. Vending Machine” nace de una perspectiva innovadora en el rubro de distribución de productos, a través de una máquina expendedora, que responden a una necesidad particular como es el caso de productos de tocador, botica y de cuidado personal, la cual fue identificada por la necesidad que atravesamos todos en algún momento de nuestras vidas cuando salimos de viaje, de paseo o nos alejamos de nuestros hogares por temporadas cortas. En los últimos años las ventas a través de máquinas expendedoras de productos tradicionales como gaseosas, golosinas y cafés dentro de empresas e instituciones ha crecido con el objetivo de dar un servicio adicional a sus clientes, también se aprecia que se ha incursionado en expender diferentes productos como jugos naturales, comida sana, útiles de oficina entre otros. Bajo el mismo principio también nace la idea de “S.O.S. Vending Machine” Es por ello que “S.O.S. Vending Machine” se ubicará dentro de terminales terrestres y tendrá productos como bloqueadores, repelentes, desodorantes, shampoo, reacondicionador, peines, algodón, hiduroid entre otros. Tanto los dueños de las terminales terrestres como también los pasajeros y acompañantes se beneficiarán de este servicio que lo tendrán a la mano en los horarios de atención de dichas empresas. Estamos seguros de que “S.O.S. Vending Machine” tendrá una exitosa acogida y superará las expectativas de los clientes finales, así como de los aliados, las empresas transportadoras.
This business plan “S.O.S. Vending Machine” is born from having an innovative perspective in the field of product distribution, through a vending machine, which respond to a particular need such as toiletries, pharmacy and care products, which was identified by the need we all go through at some times in our lives when we travel, walk or leave our homes for short periods. In recent years, sales through vending machines of traditional products such as soft drinks, sweets and coffees in companies and institutions have grown with the aim of providing additional service to their customers, it is also appreciated that they have ventured into selling different products as natural juices, healthy food, office supplies and others. The idea of “S.O.S. Vending Machine” is also born under the same principle. That is why “S.O.S. Vending Machine” will be located inside of the land terminals and will have products such as blockers, repellents, deodorants, shampoo, reconditioner, combs, cotton, hyduroid among others. Both the owners of the land terminals as well as the passengers and companions will benefit from this service that will have it at hand in the opening hours of these companies. We are sure that “S.O.S. Vending Machine” will have a successful reception and will exceed the expectations of our final customers, as we as our allies, the transport companies.

Résumé :

Mestrado em Marketing
A indústria da segurança privada, não é por nenhum meio uma das mais entusiasmantes de uma economia. Em Portugal a indústria é mal vista e pouco reconhecida, tanto que há duas empresas que gozam de uma notoriedade tão grande que por vezes os profissionais da indústria são chamados pelo nome de uma das empresas. É um sector onde a esmagadora maioria das empresas são pouco inovadoras, as margens são muito reduzidas e os gestores das empresas são muitas vezes pessoas que saem dos corpos policiais ou militares sem grandes noções de gestão, e as empresas acabam por ser muito uma extensão dessa experiência. O plano descreve as componentes externas e internas da empresa, incluindo a análise da concorrência e pontos de paridade e diferenciação, e dos seus fatores chave para o sucesso. São também definidos a segmentação, mercado-alvo e posicionamento, e ainda os objetivos de marketing e financeiros que se pretendem atingir no ano de 2020. O marketing-mix encontra-se dividido em sete pontos: Produto/Serviço, Preço, Distribuição, Promoção, Pessoas, Processo e Evidências Físicas. São apresentados o orçamento, calendarização de atividades de marketing e as métricas para aferição de resultados. O ponto fulcral deste plano é a análise de risco incluída no serviço que é o fator que permitirá à empresa demarcar-se da concorrência e ficar com uma conotação inovadora comparativamente às empresas médias do setor.
The private security industry is by no means one of the most exciting in an economy, in Portugal the industry is underrated and poorly recognized. There are two companies that enjoy such a high profile that sometimes industry professionals are called by the name of one of the companies. It is a sector in which the overwhelming majority of companies are not very innovative, margins are very small, and managers of companies are often people who leave the police or military corps without much knowledge of management, and companies end up being an extension of that experience. The plan describes the company's external and internal components, including the analysis of competition and parity and differentiation points and their key success factors. It also defines the segmentation, target market and positioning, as well as the marketing and financial objectives to be achieved in the year 2020. The marketing-mix is divided into seven points: Product/Service, Price, Distribution, Promotion, People, Process and Physical Evidence. The budget, scheduling of marketing activities and metrics for measuring results are also presented. The focal point of this plan is the risk analysis included in the service which is the factor that will allow the company to separate itself from competition and to have an innovative connotation compared to the average undertakings in the sector.

Mestrado em Ciências Económicas
Este trabalho de investigação teve como objectivo principal, o estudo de alguns factores que determinam a produtividade. Foram considerados os seguintes factores: Recursos humanos, progresso tecnológico inovação e qualidade/segurança no trabalho, sobre os quais se conclui que há áreas cientificas e tecnológicas mais estratégicas, que outras, nas quais Portugal com o apoio de políticas públicas adequadas, pode proporcionar aumentos na produtividade económica. Apesar do sector privado ser o actor mais relevante no que se refere, ao financiamento da I&D e do progresso tecnológico, no entanto o governo português deve constituir modelos de prioridades estratégicas, para o crescimento da economia. A implementação de um modelo de prioridades estratégicas no âmbito da política económica e orçamental em CTI pode contribuir para a confiança dos investidores, aumentando a competitividade e o crescimento económico.
The primary aim of this research is to study certain factors that determine productivity. The following factors have been taken into consideration: Human Resources, technological progress, innovation and quality/safety in the workplace, which apparently seem to have scientific and technological areas that are more relevant than others. It is within these areas that Portugal may increase its economic productivity together with the support of adequate public policies. Although the private sector plays the most important role in financing R&D and technological progress, the Portuguese Government must conceive strategic priority models for the growth of the economy. The establishment of a strategic priority model applied to CTI economical and budget making policies may contribute towards a rise in the trust levels of investors, thereby increasing competitiveness and economic growth.
