Linnskog, Leif. "Technological Change in an International Industrial System". Doctoral thesis, Mälardalen University, School of Business, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-245.
Texto completoResumen
Industrial systems resist change, more often, because heavy production facilities and industrial constructions are expensive and have long economic lives, but also because people tend to defend ingrained conceptions of how things are and how activities ought to be performed. Starting out from the question: “How does technological change come about in an international, industrial system?” the thesis investigates the interplay between technological, social, and economic factors. Empirically the work is located to the steel and metals industries and covers business exchange within and between several economic entities performing international business operations.
It is shown that technological change is driven by strategic intention, but that it also occurs as a result of chance or “necessity”, or follows on everyday enterprise operations. In an attempt to realize strategic intentions actors involve in games of negotiation while referring to different power bases. Backed by organizational role (hierarchic level/managerial position), personal “luminosity” (charisma/leadership), or control over critical resources (that other actors are interested in) various arguments are put to the test on “the arena for negotiations and change”. While involving in negotiations actors may relate to existing business and/or social relations for support or they may take advantage of full-blown coalitions.
Constrained by the games of negotiation, which unfold in an institutional environment, the process of technological change adopts evidently evolutionary characteristics, and it follows implicitly that the single actor has at its disposal only limited possibilities to determine the process outcome. Technological change as an evolutionary process consists of three underlying sub-processes, viz. innovation, interaction, and institutionalization, it is argued.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 129-136).
The aim of this research is to understand how emerging rotorcraft companies in various countries accomplished technological learning over the last sixty years. Owing to its unique products and growing market demand, rotorcraft industry is one of the most globalized and dynamic sectors of the aerospace industry. Understanding technological learning in the rotorcraft industry is important to industrial policy makers and corporate managers who are seeking more clarity in the relationship between rotorcraft companies and the global social-political environment. Although there has already been extensive research on technological learning in various industries, evidence of technological learning in the rotorcraft industry has been lacking. This research aims to fill this gap in the field of technological learning by unveiling the learning dynamic and technological evolution of emerging rotorcraft companies. This thesis will analyze these developments by research on emerging rotorcraft companies' National Innovation Systems (NIS) and their different modes of cooperation with foreign companies. The analysis on the companies' NIS is an important element of the research framework as it defines the national innovation environment for the industry. NIS represents the unique system of institutional, private and foreign stakeholders and their interaction in the country. The analysis on the different modes of cooperation with foreign companies is the second key element of the research framework as mode of cooperation is an important technological indicator for emerging rotorcraft companies. To substantiate the findings of technological learning in the rotorcraft industry, three case studies of emerging rotorcraft companies - Agusta (Italy), Avicopter (China) and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Aerospace (Japan) were made. Each case provides both holistic and detailed view of the unique technological learning system of the company by analyzing both national-level and company-level factors. This thesis synthesizes and compares the three companies' technological learning systems and draws conclusion in relationship to their respective NIS. This thesis has identified that concurrent internal learning, a history of cooperation, favorable national learning environment and production scale are essential for emerging rotorcraft companies to succeed. Moreover, it has also found that denial of technology access only slows down but does not prevent technological learning completely. This thesis will not only provide industrial policy makers and corporate managers with greater insight into the technological learning systems of emerging rotorcraft companies, but also a different perspective regarding technological transfer and cooperation. Finally, this thesis contributes to the research on technological learning through its original case studies from the rotorcraft industry.

Given the necessity to achieve vertical integration in complex NPD projects, this study offers a perspective on the implication of customers and suppliers involvement under technological uncertainty. The purpose of this work is to use SoSE in order to develop a framework that may support Marine system design in NPD under technological uncertainty. It has been assumed that it is possible to achieve the Pareto optimum with respect to the key variables influencing the success of the NPD process; furthermore, this study will explore the possibility to tackle the goal misalignment between Customer, Suppliers and OEMs interacting in an evolving scenario and to offer a decisional ground for the mitigation of such misalignment. Concluding, the purpose of this study has been expanded by answering three research questions on how Technological uncertainty influences NPD in Marine System Design, what alternative frameworks can be used to structure such designs and how System of Systems Engineering can be used to build such alternatives. The structure of the model built in this report is based on the concepts related to Enterprise System of Systems Engineering (SoSE), Agency Costs and Transaction Costs theories. The analysis is based on a case study where a propulsion system has to be developed in order to meet the incumbent environmental deadline imposed by the Policy maker, while taking into account future adaptations. Basing on the results, the largest misalignments pertain to the Value dimension, where the actors prioritized different features depending on their different positioning of the actors in the value chain, leading to an increase of the Agency costs in the NPD. On the other hand, the possibilities to share the knowledge, to split the costs over the involved parties and to reduce the Transaction costs represent the main advantages perceived from the actors. An integrative type of structure of the collaboration within the actors, for instance establishing a Joint venture or through Integrated development, would reduce the misalignments. Finally, ABB can use SoSE in order to manage its internal R&D process and the involvement of customers and suppliers. In general, SoS can help OEMs in dealing with uncertainty thanks to the concept of fluid boundaries. As a consequence, the integrated system will benefit of greater flexibility while complying with the requirements given by the customers and the suppliers.

There are mass, serial and single types of production are determined by the coefficient of consolidation of operations at the workplace (GOST 3.1121.84). Mass production is characterized by a type of highly specialized departments and sections on output, limited and stable for a long period of the time range of products. The main objective of planning is to ensure the movement of workpieces on at a given pace of operations. A significant part of the calendar-planned regulations for the type of mass production is sustainable and just laid the basis for the planned regulations of the production lines. Planning is based on the calculation of the rate of release and details of the calculation of interoperable standards groundwork. When a batch type production nomenclature of manufactured products less stable, but still regularly repeated in the release program, the number performed in detail shops operations far exceeds the number of jobs that determines the production of goods parties. Main planning task in batch production, ensuring periodicity of manufacture products in accordance with the scheduled task. Increasing seriality achieved the unification of parts and typed processes. The objective of production planning is to manufacture products on time and uniform loading of production sites for a given production cycle. Each type of production of different methods can be arranged. The main ones are in-line, single party and methods of production. The most effective line method. The set of methods, tools, and principles of organization of the process to form the production planning and control system. Specifically shown what it takes to build a mathematical model of operations.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 2009.Includes bibliographical references (p. 166-168).
The thesis examines the evolution of mobile transceiver architecture using the management framework pioneered by Carliss Baldwin and Kim Clark. The thesis begins with an introduction and an overview of the wireless communication value network. The author subsequently distills the salient aspects of the Baldwin and Clark management framework predicated on bottleneck analysis, modularity, and return on invested capital. The prominence of bottleneck analysis motivates a technical chapter that summarizes the bottlenecks relevant to all wireless communication systems, namely data rate, error rate, and battery life. A brief chapter discussing the dominant wireless communication network architecture, TDMA and CDMA, corroborates the bottleneck analysis and effectively assigns the error rate and battery life bottlenecks to the handset ODM and supplier layers of the value network. With a clear vision of the competitive bottlenecks, the evolution of transceiver architecture is presented in the context of the aforementioned management framework. Through this analysis, design power is shown to have passed from handset ODMs to integrated circuit suppliers. A noteworthy byproduct of the analysis is the genesis of the bottleneck tree whereby new layers of bottlenecks are emergent upon a firm's selection of a particular design architecture that targets the strategic bottleneck layer. Finally, the thesis is concluded with a summary of the ground covered and the author's opinions of how the architecture may yet evolve and the future nature of the competitive landscape.

Texto completoResumen
Biomethane (upgraded form of biogas) holds unlocked potential as a substitute to fossil natural gas, in terms of achieving climate reduction targets as well as developing a locally secured fuel supply. Biomethane is fully compatible with the existing natural gas grid infrastructure. Currently, nine countries in European Union are practicing natural gas grid injection. Remaining countries are in various phases of development concerning production and utilisation of biomethane. Successful deployment of a biomethane project requires coordinated action in terms of academic, industrial and economic co-operation. It demands established legal and political framework as well as supportive financial conditions. The thesis aims at researching how the state of development of biomethane generation and utilization gets affected by the support activities within a countries policy framework? To seek a solution, the theoretical framework of “Technological Innovation System (TIS)” is adapted. TIS provide a methodological approach to assess the development of an upcoming technology under the existing policies, regulatory and financial conditions. In the given study, the framework of TIS is adapted to the technology of “biomethane generation and injection into natural gas grid”. This adaptation led to the development of: Detailed overlapping matrix of the main structural components i.e. Actors, Networks and Institutions and their corresponding activities across the value chain. Development of a set of diagnostic questions and performance indicators, enabling an assessment of the dynamics of the technological system, eventually leading to the identification of strengths and weaknesses in the system. The adapted technological system analysis framework is further applied on two countries “Germany and UK” as case studies. With the aid of diagnostic questions, the dynamic system characteristics are evaluated in each country context. Germany reveals a well-functioning biomethane TIS. Considerable knowledge base and experience is available, appropriate policies and financial incentives are in place, dedicated organisations are established to address the technological and industrial issues. Germany currently has a market promoting biomethane utilisation via CHP applications. Further growth can be expected by addressing resource mobilisation to fulfill a larger share of heat demand and application as renewable transport fuel. Biomethane industry is in its nascent stage in the UK. At the time of thesis research two upgrading plants are in operation. Analysis of the system functions within UK, signals a healthy biogas industry, but there is lack of activity within the “biomethane” context. The industry is in the stage of knowledge development. Biomethane production is well communicated within national strategies. The key technical issues being encountered by the industry are the focus of research. A balanced market formation would require increasing the resource mobilisation in terms of availability of skilled manpower as well as providing access to financial capital. The industry is experiencing pilot trials and subsequent dissemination of information of the results of these trials to the stakeholders in the value chain is recommended. Overall, Technological Innovation System (TIS) has been an effective tool to evaluate the national approach towards development and deployment of biomethane as a technology .Moreover TIS assists in systematic identification of the strengths and weaknesses of the system. It provides a methodological approach to statically and dynamically analyse biomethane development strategy within a given region and can also assist in benchmarking the development conditions in more than one region.European Project Titled "GreenGasGrids"

This thesis attempts to study the technological progress of wireless technology and the wireless industry throughout history, using high-level, non-device specific performance metrics. Such metrics are developed by following the broad functional category approach. The analysis performed is both qualitative and quantitative. Firstly, the quantitative study provides a general perspective of how the technology has evolved through history, looking for signs of constant evolution and/or signs of technological saturation or acceleration. Following this, the qualitative section aims to provide the basis of a strategic framework that could be of importance to organizations in the industry, in particular to those interested in making the right decisions regarding technology selection, new spectrum licensing, and new services pricing, by using a cost-benefit approach. It was found that, in concordance with the two previous analyses performed on the information and energy technology domains, a continuous progress in the metrics identified is observed in the three Functional Performance Metrics (FPM) determined for this study. Still, some weak signs of eventual saturation were observed in one of the metrics identified in the study for the first time in this kind of study. A rate of yearly progress of 15% was obtained from the spectral efficiency Functional Performance Metric (FPM), while significantly higher rates, close to 50%, were obtained for both the throughput and coverage density FPMs. The time series comprises over 100 years of data, from the late 1800's / early 1900's until the present.

Texto completoResumen
In questo elaborato si affrontano problematiche cliniche legate ai traumi gravi della cute in cui è necessario intervenire chirurgicamente per ripristinare una situazione normale: si approfondisce lo studio della fisiologia del tessuto, la classificazione dei gradi delle ustioni della pelle, la guarigione delle ferite e la meccanica della cute.
Il trapianto di tessuto autologo costituisce la soluzione più efficace e con minori complicazioni.
Tuttavia il paziente potrebbe non presentare una superficie di cute disponibile sufficientemente estesa, per cui si ricorre ad altri metodi. In primo luogo, si effettuano degli allotrapianti di tessuto di donatore cadavere prelevati secondo le normative vigenti e conservati attraverso le varie tecniche, il cui sviluppo ha consentito una durata di conservazione maggiore; mentre la glicerolizzazione abbatte al 100% il rischio di trasmissione di patologie e lo sviluppo di microorganismi, la crioconservazione preserva la vitalità del tessuto. La chirurgia utilizzata per queste operazioni si avvale di tecnologie innovative come la Tecnologia a Pressione Negativa.
Un'alternativa necessaria per sopperire all'ingente richiesta di tessuto di donatore sono i sostituti cutanei, che presentano un grande potenziale per il futuro. Per eliminare totalmente il rischio di rigetto sarebbe necessario personalizzare il costrutto utilizzando cellule autologhe, ma la ricerca è stata rallentata da minori investimenti da parte dell'industria biomedica, che si è maggiormente focalizzata sulla realizzazione di prodotti utilizzabili da un più ampio raggio di pazienti.
Per queste ragioni, l'ingegneria tissutale della cute ha trovato più ampio campo di applicazione nel sistema dei test in vitro. A tale scopo sono stati creati dei protocolli certificati per testare la corrosività, la irritabilità e la vitalità del tessuto cutaneo, quali EpiDerm, EpiSkin e SkinEthic che si avvalgono dell'uso del metodo MMT e della spettrofotometria, che è diventata un supporto fondamentale per le scienze biologiche.

This dissertation is intended to further technology studies by analyzing some of its important methodological tools and using those tools in combination to study complex technological systems in an historical context. The first chapter of the dissertation examines in detail four influential models by which complex technological systems have been analyzed: Hughesâ s system model, Bijkerâ s social construction model, Latour, Callon, and Lawâ s actor-network model, and Ruth Schwartz Cowanâ s consumption junction model. For each model, I summarize the seminal works, analyze the uses of the model in the literature, and offer some refinements to the models based on that analysis. Chapter 2 presents three case studies applying these models two different technological systems. First, the early development of the American automobile industry, 1895 to 1940, is studied using Hughesâ s concepts of technological momentum and reverse salients. Second, the automobileâ s impact on American society is explored over the same time period relying on Ruth Schwartz Cowanâ s consumer-oriented perspective and Wiebe Bijkerâ s concept of technological frames. The third case study examines the technological means by which, over a long period of time, American cities were rendered impervious to huge conflagrationsâ commonplace until the end of the 19th century. For the analysis of this system, I use actor-network theory, Wiebe Bijkerâ s technological frames, and Hughesâ s reverse salients.Ph. D.

The intellectual roots of the innovation system (IS) approach lie in attempts tounderstand the complexities of interactive relations in the innovation process. Thisthesis departs from the systemic view that ISs rest on a co-evolutionary process, inwhich on the one hand technical and economic spheres interact with policies andinstitutions, and, on the other, those spheres affect the natural environment. There isalso evidence that ISs have access to the state-of-the-art flows of knowledge, which isperceived positively in terms of international or trans-border scientific andtechnological cooperation.Comprised of a covering essay and a set of publications, this thesis is structured as acombination of five papers containing findings of the research carried out. Thequalitative research design analyzes sustainability as a desirable theoretical constructtowards which the development of ISs should be oriented. As such, special attentionwas given to both the theoretical arguments that relate to sustainability and theimportance of a shift into a new technological regime oriented towards environmentalissues in ISs. A systematization of the two main theoretical analyses of ISs has beenalso emphasized in the thesis as interactive learning and evolutionary technologicalchange theories, which originate respectively from Schumpeterian and neoevolutionarySchumpeterian views.In Edquist’s view (2001, p.35) "there is a strong need for further conceptual andtheoretical development of the IS approach. The best way of doing this is by actuallyusing the approach in empirical research". How the shift of ISs to environmentalsustainability can come about and how they can be brought together systematically isstill a largely unexplored field of research. Accordingly, the aim of this thesis is toconceptually advance an understanding of the IS as a flexible and useful approach toencompass the environmental sustainability dimension.To address this, the thesis develops a conceptual framework for ISs that is orientedtoward sustainability; based on the interactive, resource, and environmental views;and tested empirically. The conceptual framework is illustrated empirically in the casestudies of the Brazilian subsidiary of the Swedish multinational Ericsson and and the Brazilian multinational USIMINAS, with focus placed on their interactionswith the Brazilian innovation system. Since the cases belong to different sectors, thereare variables between the multinationals in terms of the nature of innovation capacity.The contrast between the two cases in terms of technological regimes provedvery interesting, and hence formed the core of the thesis.The IS approach has been gaining ground in academic circles, as well as in the fieldof public innovation policy-making in industrialized and newly industrializedcountries. The findings of the current study suggest that ISs for environmentalsustainability can be categorized as evolutionary, natural resource based, andinternationally oriented. In the context of newly industrialized countries, theinternalization of ISs has been perceived through effects of research and developmentin multinational firms, technology transfer and the international trade of capital goods.The understanding of ISs and the internationalization phenomenon in relation tosustainability warrants further studies; notably studies are required that examine theinternationalization of ISs, empirically viewing this from the perspective of bothindustrialized and newly industrialized economies.RESEARCH FUNDERS

Texto completoResumen
The publications submitted for this PhD by Published Work represent the product of a decade long programme of research on the nature of the defence innovation system and the organisations, institutions and relationships that underpin defence technological innovation. This has been informed by the systems of innovation approach as well as broader academic perspectives on the nature of innovation and as such the publications are located in the field of innovation studies and in particular the sub-community of scholars that concern themselves with defence technological innovation. In the thesis, I contend that – taken together – the publications make three contributions to knowledge. First, the publications contribute to our understanding of what I term the “defence innovation system”. This illuminates an important corner ignored by most scholars of innovation systems and one that has received too little attention given the role that defence R&D and procurement has played as a stimulus to many significant technological innovations as well as its many implications for international security and society. The defence innovation system has often resisted analysis not least because of the limitations of publicly available information. My publications show recognition of the importance of this topic and shed light on the dynamics of defence technological innovation. Second, the publications contribute to our understanding of the organisations and relationships that underpin the defence innovation system and their response to changes in their operating environment since the end of the Cold War. My focus on organisation-level case studies of defence firms and government defence research establishments is in contrast to most of the academic work in this field that has been preoccupied with national or industry level structure and trends. A recurring theme in my publications, explicitly and implicitly, has been the co-evolutionary character of change in the defence innovation system and the changing relationship between government and defence industrial firms. Third, I examine changes in the boundaries of the system by introducing a transnational dimension to the analysis of defence technological innovation and in doing so my publications have drawn attention to the need to examine transnational linkages between nationally-located systems.

Recent years have witnessed many significant changes in the global technology landscape. An interesting change we have observed is that some traditional technology late-coming countries such as China and Korea have started to emerge as influential players in the international arena of technology innovation. Historically, developed countries, holding incomparable advantages in financial markets and technologically intensive industries, have naturally taken the lead in technology innovation; while severe deficiencies and challenges are normally faced for developing, or late-coming countries, in innovation. In the literature, strong support from the government has been proven to be crucial for late-coming countries to overcome the deficiencies and to catch up in technology innovation. Based on innovation system perspective, this dissertation aims to understand how the government intervention in technological innovation system (TIS) promotes technology innovation, especially that in the catching-up context. This dissertation examines two technology innovation cases in China, namely the TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE mobile system innovations. A theoretical framework is developed based on institutional theory to structure the case studies. Qualitative methods including documentary research and semi-structured interviews are applied for data collection. This research concludes that, in the stages of technology development and technology diffusion, different TIS functions need to be achieved and different challenges are faced, which require government intervention. The government could analyse how TIS functions are achieved and how challenges are formed in relation to the TIS structural components, in order to determine the intervention strategy. Government can take both direct intervention on TIS actors, and indirect intervention through impacting TIS institutional environment, with regulative, normative and cognitive instruments. In the catching-up context, government interventions contribute more to path-breaking type technology innovations than path-dependent ones in terms of ensuring the success of innovation. Practical implications for the government to effectively intervene in innovation initiatives are given.

Texto completoResumen
The production of biogas via anaerobic digestion is an effective technology for converting organic waste into renewable fuel. Using the Technological Innovation System (TIS) theory for assessing emerging technologies a comparison between the British and Swedish biogas sectors is carried out. There are seven components to a TIS allowing the sector to be broken down, a potential scheme for the connection of the functions is illustrated. The Swedish biogas sector is at a more advanced stage of development due to long-term governmental support both financially and through stringent environmental laws. Overall the Swedish government has been an effective system builder allowing the Swedish biogas sector to expand. The British biogas sector is conversely less advanced due to lack of this long-term support, although the scene is beginning to change as the government positions itself as a more effective system builder. Several lessons can be learnt from the Swedish biogas sector; longterm financial support for renewable energy is required and stringent organic waste disposal laws both encourage the development of biogas.

Lin, Angela. "Initiating system innovation : a technological frames analysis of the origins of groupware projects". Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2000. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/2875/.
Texto completoResumen
This research explores the origins of information systems innovation through two case studies of groupware projects. The thesis argues that the study of the origins of projects has an important role in explaining the subsequent events during the more formal implementation activity. This is particularly so in the case of groupware, where a substantial literature has emerged describing and analysing the unpredicted outcomes of such projects. The research is based on a model of systems adoption as a continuous process, and with the choices and decisions taken at an early stage with regard to technology having significant effects on the adoption across time. The analysis of the early stages of a project can be significant in explaining subsequent levels and degrees of system use. It is argued that in order to provide a more complete description of the adoption process one needs to go back to the origins of a project and to examine the choices and decisions made during that period. This period of initiation of groupware projects has received little attention in CSCW research and scarcely more in the broader IS field. The purpose of this thesis is both to address this absence of scrutiny and to argue for its significance. The thesis presents a detailed review of CSCW and related literature, and explores how and to what extent the initiation of projects has been considered and addressed within this field. The thesis then develops a research framework to explore initiation, based on a synthesis of the contextualist approach with a cognitive model based on Orlikowski's notion of technological frames. The thesis then applies the framework in the analysis of two interpretive case studies of the initiation of groupware projects. These case studies were conducted in the British Oxygen Company (BOC) and the Bank for International Settlement (BIS). These studies produce an account of initiation activity that offers a particular emphasis on how time plays multiple roles in the process, linking content, context and process. These roles include, in addition to conventional 'clock time', time as an indicator, time as an era, and time as measurement and control. The findings also illustrate the duality of individuals' technological frames; that is, individuals' frames are both the basis and the consequence of the choices and decisions made by those same individuals. The analysis explores how and to what extent changes in the organisational or cultural setting (context and process) can have an impact on frames of reference, and how they are shared and communicated.

Texto completoResumen
Syftet med avhandlingen är att bidra till den ämnesdidaktiska kunskapsbasen för undervisning och lärande om tekniska system i grundskolan. Dagens teknikkomplexa samhälle är uppbyggt av system som vi människor interagerar med. Informations-, energi- och kommunikationssystem är exempel på tekniska system som vi kommer i kontakt med dagligen. Tekniska system ingår som en del av kunskapsinnehållet i den svenska grundskolans teknikämne, men forskning som rör teknikämnet visar att undervisning av tekniska system är begränsad och det råder osäkerhet kring vad lärande av tekniska system innebär. De övergripande frågeställningarna är: Hur uppfattar unga tekniska system? Hur kan ungas uppfattningar av tekniska system användas för att utveckla undervisningen om tekniska system? Vilken potential, att bidra till en ökad förståelse av teknik i dagens samhälle, har tekniska system som kunskapsinnehåll i teknikämnet? Avhandlingen bygger på två studier som presenteras i fyra artiklar. I två av artiklarna fokuseras ungas uppfattningar av tekniska system och i två artiklar lyfts didaktiska dimensioner av tekniska system fram. En fenomenografisk ansats används för att kartlägga ungdomars olika sätt att erfara tekniska system genom empiriska undersökningar av kvalitativa skillnader i det kollektiva erfarandet av fenomenet. Resultatet av studierna indikerar att dimensioner av tekniska system och kritiska aspekter inom dessa dimensioner är avgörande för en utvecklad förståelse av tekniska system. Genom att lärare blir medvetna om ungas uppfattningar om tekniska system kan de med detta som utgångspunkt utveckla undervisningen. Inom den ämnesdidaktiska kunskapstraditionen ses den lärandes uppfattning av innehållet innan undervisningen startar som en betydelsefull aspekt av lärarens ämnesdidaktiska kompetens Det är därför viktigt att lärare är medvetna om dimensionerna och de kritiska aspekterna då de planerar och genomför undervisning för att kunna erbjuda kraftfulla sätt att lära om tekniska system. De didaktiska implikationerna, när det gäller tekniska system, lyfter fram aspekter av teknik som har betydelse för förståelsen av teknik även på ett mer generellt plan. Det handlar om kunskaper som aktiva medborgare i dagens teknikkomplexa samhälle behöver, så som insikter om krav på resurser, människans intentioner med och inblandning i tekniken samt hur teknikens struktur och organisation ser ut. Tekniska system som kunskapsinnehåll erbjuder en förståelse av teknik där viktiga medborgerliga aspekter som engagemang, konsekvensanalys och användaransvar kan synliggöras och problematiseras.The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the field of technology education research, specifically that which concerns teaching and learning about technological systems. Today's technologically complex society is made up of a variety of systems that humans interact with. Information, energy and communication are examples of technological systems with which we are involved daily. Education in technology prepares young people for participating as active citizens in a technologyintensive society and therefore includes technological systems as part of the knowledge content in the Swedish compulsory school subject of technology. Research related to the technology subject shows that the teaching of technological systems is limited and there is uncertainty about what the learning entails. The overall questions which this thesis intends to investigate are: How do young people experience technological systems? How can young people’s experiences of technological systems be used to develop the teaching of technological systems? What potential does knowledge about technological systems have in contributing to a better understanding of technology in today’s society? The thesis is based on two studies presented in four articles. Two of the articles focus on young people’s experiences of technological systems and the other two highlight pedagogical dimensions of technological systems for teaching and learning. The studies take the perspective of the learners’, using a phenomenographic approach, and investigate young people’s ways of experiencing technological systems. To start from the learners’ experience is an important aspect of the tradition of pedagogical research that concerns content specific knowledge. The phenomenographic approach offers empirical ways of investigating qualitative differences in the collective experience of the phenomenon and an opportunity to highlight what teaching should focus on to create learning opportunities. The main result of the studies consists of knowledge about dimensions of technological systems and critical aspects within those dimensions. Together they offer a perspective for teaching, providing possible starting points for teachers when they plan instruction. If teachers address their own and young people’s awareness of dimensions of variation, it could enable more powerful ways of learning about technological systems. The pedagogical implications in terms of technological systems also point to aspects that are relevant for understanding technology on a more general level, namely skills which active citizens in today’s technologically complex society must possess. Technological systems knowledge offers an understanding of technology in which key aspects of civil commitment, impact and user responsibility can be made visible and thus problematized.

Texto completoResumen
This study concerns investigating an industry, i.e. system, which is subject to radical technological changes, and how actors within the system can enhance their innovation processes and manage technological shifts efficiently. The specific context in which these processes are investigated is the compliance departments within the Swedish insurance industry. The Swedish insurance industry constitutes a central pillar in the national economy, which is why the stability of the industry must be ensured. As a result, the insurance industry is subject to various regulations and the scope and amount of regulations have increased since the global financial crisis in 2008. In other words, the regulatory burden has increased while the risks of non-compliance pose a threat to incumbents' competitive position. In order to meet the pressure of increased regulatory burden as well as leverage on the pressure of digitalization, Regulatory Technology (RegTech) has been identified as a key focus area for Swedish insurance companies in enhancing their operational efficiency as well as reduce the risk of non-compliance. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to identify system challenges to adoption of RegTech as well as system enablers which suggest how the related innovation processes can be facilitated. The empirical data in this study consists of ten in-depth interviews with representatives from Swedish insurance companies as well as knowledge providers within RegTech. The study reveals 38 system challenges and 38 system enablers to adoption of RegTech in various dimensions related to market forces, organizational factors and product development aspects, to mention a few. The most commonly raised system challenges are based on that RegTech is related to cost-reduction and thus has limited impact on revenue-generation as well as the fact that the insurance industry is characterized for being conservative and rigid, to name a few. Two examples of commonly mentioned system enablers are increasing regulatory pressure which leads to uneconomical and resource-intensive compliance operations with an increasingly high risk of non-compliance, as well as that younger insurance companies have to deploy RegTech in order to survive in the long run. The results from the study are presented at landscape-, regime- and niche-level according to the theoretical frameworks of Multi-level Perspective of Sociotechnical Systems and Absorptive Capacity in conjunction with a relevant theoretical framework within compliance management, denoted the Efficient-investment-risk model.Denna studie inkluderar undersökandet av en industri, med andra ord ett system, som genomgår radikala tekniska förändringar samt hur aktörerna inom detta system kan förbättra sina innovationsprocesser och hantera teknikskiften mer effektivt. Det specifika fallet i vilket dessa processer undersöks i är complianceavdelningar hos svenska försäkringsbolag. Den svenska försäkringsbranschen utgör en central pelare i den nationella ekonomin, vilket är anledningen till varför industrins stabilitet behöver värnas. På grund av detta omfattas industrin av en mängd olika regelverk och vidare har omfattningen samt antalet regelverk ökat sedan den globala finanskrisen 2008. Med andra ord har den regulatoriska bördan ökat medan risken av icke-compliance fortsätter att utgöra ett hot mot försäkringsbolagens marknadspositioner. För att möta det ökade regulatoriska trycket och dessutom dra fördel av trycket från digitaliseringsvågen har Regulatory Technology (RegTech) identifieras som ett nyckelområde för svenska försäkringsbolag i deras strategi att förbättra operationell effektivitet samt bibehålla låg risk av non-compliance. Följaktligen är syftet med denna studie att identifiera systemutmaningar inom anammandet av RegTech samt systemmöjliggöranden som kan underlätta innovationsprocesser relaterat till anammandet av RegTech. Den empiriska datan i studien består av tio djupgående intervjuer med representanter från svenska försäkringsbolag samt RegTech-experter som utgörs av bland annat konsultbolag samt teknikföretag. Studien avslöjar 38 systemutmaningar samt 38 systemmöjliggörare relaterat till anammandet av RegTech i en bredd av olika dimensioner så som marknadskrafter, organisatoriska faktorer, produktutveckling m.m. Bland de vanligast identifierade systemutmaningarna presenteras faktumet att RegTech är begränsat till kostnadsreducering och därmed inte har en direkt positiv inverkan på intäktsdrivandet. En annan vanlig systemutmaning är faktumet att försäkringsbranschen är konservativ och stel i dess natur. Ett exempel på systemmöjliggörare å andra sidan är trenden att det regulatoriska trycket ökar, vilket leder till att complianceprocesser behöver effektiviseras för att försäkringsbolag ska kunna bibehålla konkurrenskraft samt att konsekvenserna av non-compliance blir allvarligare. En annan möjliggörande faktor inom systemet är att unga försäkringsbolag är i stort behov av att anamma RegTech för att överleva ekonomiskt i det långa loppet. Studiens resultat är presenterat på landskap, regim samt nichenivå i enlighet med teorin multi-nivåperspektivet av sociotekniska system samt i enlighet med teoriområdet absorptionsförmåga. Utöver detta har även en teori inom compliance management vid namn Effektiv-investering-riskmodellen tillämpats.

Texto completoResumen
The human factor accounts for nine out of ten out of all traffic accidents, and because more vehicles are being deployed on the roads, the number of accidents will increase. Because of this, various automated functions have been implemented in vehicles in order to minimize the human factor in driving. In recent year, this development has accelerated and vehicles able to perform the complete driving task without any human assistance have begun to emerge from different projects around the world. However, the autonomous vehicle still has many barriers to overcome before safe driving in traffic becomes a reality. One of these barriers is the difficulty to visually perceive the surrounding. This is partly because of the fact that something can cover the camera sensors, but it is also problematic to translate the perceived data, that the sensors are collecting, into something valuable for the passenger. The situation could be improved if wireless communications were available to the autonomous vehicle. Instead of trying to understand the surrounding by the use of camera sensors, the autonomous vehicle could obtain the necessary data via wireless communication, which was the subject of this study. The study showed that wireless communication will be significant for the autonomous vehicle in the future. The conclusion is based on the fact that wireless communication was a solution in other transport systems that have had the similar barrier as for the autonomous vehicle. There are also plans on managing the barrier via wireless communication in pilot projects related to autonomous vehicles.Den mänskliga faktorn står för nio av tio utav alla trafikolyckor, och eftersom att allt fler fordon kommer ut på vägarna så leder det till att olycksantalet ökar. På grund av detta så har olika automatiserade funktioner applicerats i fordonet för att undvika den mänskliga faktorn i körningen. Denna utveckling har accelererat och fordon som ska kunna utföra hela det dynamiska framförandet utan mänsklig assistans har börjat utvecklas i olika projekt runt om i världen. Dock så har det autonoma fordonet många barriärer kvar att övervinna, för säkert framförande, varav en av dessa barriärer är fordonets förmåga att visuellt uppfatta omgivningen. Dels genom att något kan täcka kamerasensorerna men även att kunna omsätta det sensorerna uppfattar till något värdefullt för passageraren. Situationen skulle dock kunna förbättras om trådlös kommunikation gjordes tillgänglig för det autonoma fordonet. Istället för att försöka uppfatta omgivningen via kamerasensorer, skulle det autonoma fordonet kunna få den information som behövs via trådlös kommunikation, vilket är vad denna studie behandlade. Studien visade att trådlös kommunikation kommer att ha en betydelse för det autonoma fordonet i framtiden. Slutsatsen grundar sig på att trådlös kommunikation varit en lösning inom andra transportsystem som haft en liknande barriär som för det autonoma fordonet. Man planerar dessutom på att hantera det autonoma fordonets barriär via trådlös kommunikation i pilotprojekt i dagsläget

Texto completoResumen
Enterprise architecture is the high-level design of the entire business, facilitated by enterprise architects. "Agile enterprise architecture" is the term used in enterprise architecture to describe an architecture that caters for future unknowns, enabling change to occur rapidly without undue resource utilization, yet in a controlled manner and with minimal adverse impact. Some enterprise architects still use outdated, rigid approaches to enterprise architecture which are incompatible with today‟s business environment. In addition, there is limited research into methods that can be applied to measure the agility of enterprise architecture. The current environment is such that there is a need for a more agile approach to developing and measuring enterprise architecture. This work will lead to the creation of a Framework for The Development and Measurement of Agile Enterprise Architecture. In support of the main goal of the development of the framework, a literature review will be conducted focusing on the necessary sub-goals of the research. The first sub-goal of the literature review is to develop a comprehensive definition for enterprise architecture (referred to as EA), as well as discover how it is currently practiced. Thereafter, the literature review will investigate a comprehensive definition for agility and research why it is emerging as a critical topic. The next chapter of the literature review will research how agility fits within the context of EA, uncovering a comprehensive definition for agile EA and the best practices in agile EA development. The final chapter of the literature review will investigate suitable measurement techniques that can be used to assess the level of agility of EA. On completion of the literature review, a preliminary framework will be created using the most important contributions from the literature. An empirical study will be conducted to explore the definitions for EA, agility, agile EA, the methods to measure the agility of EA and the concepts for the development of agile EA summarised in the preliminary framework. Data analysis follows an interpretive and qualitative approach based on four case studies through interviews with systems experts in four South African organizations in one province. Each interviewee was interviewed once. The initial interview with a Principal Consultant on Enterprise Strategy Consulting at organisation # 1 formed the basis of an exploratory study; the results of which were used to refine the research instrument and preliminary framework. Thereafter, a more rigorous empirical study focused on interviews with the Chief Architect, Senior Manager in Advisory Services and an Enterprise Architect at organizations 2, 3 and 4 respectively was conducted. The research follows an inductive approach to capture the interpretive experiences of participants and develop theoretical propositions from them. Following the exploratory pilot study it became necessary to make changes to the preliminary framework and initial survey instrument created. Thereafter, the empirical study consisting of the remaining three cases was conducted to test the important aspects of the framework and literature definitions. The analysis of the results of the empirical study prompted further changes to the theoretical framework and definitions created. The interviews conducted with each of the organizations confirmed the factors for agile EA development as well as the effectiveness of the definitions created in the literature review. The research uncovered that the need for a more agile approach to developing EA and a way to measure the level of agility of EA has become more and more significant in organizations. This begins with a better understanding of EA, agility, how agility fits within the context of EA, as well as appropriate methods to measure agility.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis was originally motivated by a curiosity about how historicity and culture forms understanding in activities in a work situation. I wanted to gather and structure some thoughts about what happens when scientific, formally educated, knowledge, which dominates in a traditional desk learning situation, is facing knowledge which is learned through practice in real work situations with complex technology. These contradictions, I believe, must be something we all experience every day, more or less consciously. A study could perhaps be done at any kind of activity or work. I chose a dialysis department and the work of dialysis nurses as an example. This turned out to be a good choice, since these two perspectives of understanding becomes quite clear in a setting with new technology, which, together with routines and treatment, is developing and changing constantly. Patients, nurses, doctors, patient wards, dialysis machines, water cleansing system, and so forth create a complex system. It is not possible to analyse this system, or even create anything meaningful for it, unless bringing in a perspective of time and culture, into the discussion. Historicity explains and forms work practice at the very same time, when the nurses have to create a standpoint and an understanding for the actions they have to take. Creating meaningful design into complex environments is not helped by aiming for a total understanding of the whole system. Instead, agents that form the change of understanding, behaviour and action may work as keys into the creation of new design.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis is concerned with hospital-centred networks of non-commercial groups and their role in the dynamics of medical innovation. By breaking down `technology' into artefacts, techniques and regimes, we distinguish between two modes of technological change that underlie the evolution of healthcare services. These are `artefact-led technological change' and `technique-led technological change'. Artefact-led technological change is well characterised in the existing literature and follows from the development of novel services based on artefacts created by networks of firms and clinicians. By contrast we identify technique-led technological change as a comparatively under-explored area. We argue that the careers of technologies entering the clinic as a result of the development of novel techniques do not rely on firms in this way and may principally be developed within networks of non-commercial groups. We suggest these technologies follow a distinct dynamic that we characterise through a multiple-case empirical study. The empirical research centres on the genetic testing services of the UK's National Health Service (NHS). Using Blume's (1992) conceptual framework founded in the `sociology of technology', we explore the careers of our case studies longitudinally; analyse the changing interorganisational structures between actor groups; and examine the ways in which the problematisations of these groups shape the technology and its applications. Our findings indicate that industrial groups play little part in technique-led technological change until these technologies are relatively well established. After this point firms may create a role for themselves by facilitating specialisation and automation processes. We note that the early stages of technique-led technological change often occur in the absence of formal regulatory processes. Diffusion and change take place largely in an ad hoc, `bottom-up' manner, often reliant on bootlegged resources, charitable donation, or special initiatives. Although free from commercial constraints in the early phases, we find that the diffusion of technique-led technologies remains constrained within limits imposed by the tacit nature of skills, the availability of local resources and sets of professional norms.

This work focuses on the technological environment of M-Commerce, and highlights some technological reasons slowing the penetration of this technology in North America1. The purpose is to provide some closure and present a potential solution that would improve the North American M-Commerce adoption level.
The determined research hypotheses are: (1) Lack of adequate government regulations; (2) Lack of adequate spectrum; (3) Lack of adequate technologies; (4) Lack of adequate standardization process.
An analysis and a comparison of these variables in the respective poles---Western Europe, Japan, North America---using their respective technology---GSM, I-Mode, CDMA is conducted.
More specifically this in-depth comparative analysis helps determine if and how these variables impact the QoS2 and therefore the M-Commerce adoption outcome. The lack of adequate spectrum and the lack of adequate standardization process, in North America show to be the primary reasons for the slow adoption of M-Commerce. Hence, the conclusion of this work proposes an alternative solution. This proposal provides a new revised model of the North American M-Commerce value chain.
This model would eliminate the identified issues and increase the Quality of Service, as well as the customer's satisfaction, resulting in higher adoption level. Furthermore, this potential new strategy gives North America the opportunity to reposition itself.

There has been increasing research interest in recent years in using the power of computers to support group work. There have been two main areas of research: experimental research into GDSS supported group work in laboratory settings, and research designed to develop GDSSs which are effective, efficient and acceptable to their users. However, there have been some contradictory findings from these two areas of research. The developmental effort has shown great promise in relatively controlled developmental settings. At the same time, experimental research has indicated that GDSSs may not provide the hoped for increases in effectiveness and efficiency while being accepted by their users. This study has attempted to clarify this situation by using a field study to assess the implementation of a GDSS in an operational environment. The setting for this study was a large engineering and manufacturing site of a large electronics company. A GDSS which had been developed at the University of Arizona was installed at the host company's site, and it was assessed for the first nine months of its use. Results indicate that the system was perceived to be effective, efficient and acceptable for use by its intended users.

Rapid advancement in Electronic Communication gives rise to the popularity of Viral Marketing. Mobile Communication, in particular, offers greater potential in the utilization of this Word-of-Mouth phenomenon as a Marketing tool. Researchers have studied Viral Marketing from different perspectives, but little emphasis has been given to the unique characteristic of Mobile Communication as a platform for Viral Marketing. This thesis is therefore intended to explore this unique form of communication. Using the point of view of mobile devices, which are directly related to the users, an analysis on technological evolution in this domain was conducted to study the fit between current Mobile Viral Marketing practices and the technological parameters. To support this study, extensive literature research on Viral Marketing was conducted, along with industry analysis on Mobile Communication and sample cases of known Mobile Viral Marketing practice in the U.S. In general, the analysis found that existing Mobile Viral Marketing strategy mostly mimics the general practice of Word-of-Mouth Marketing and some aspects of this general practice are not suitable for the unique characteristic of Mobile Communication. The study on technological evolution also yielded several patterns on the key parameters of Mobile Device Technology that were used to model the future of this domain. Lastly, using the identified shortcomings of existing strategy and the future depiction of this technology domain, a strategic framework for Mobile Viral Marketing was constructed. This framework is intended to provide businesses with a forward-looking perspective in the utilization of Mobile Communication as a means to spread the words about their products or services.

Texto completoResumen
During the early 1960s, the US Department of Defense, under Secretary Robert
McNamara implemented for the first time in national government a Planning-Programming and Budgeting System (PPBS) in order to improve effectiveness
and efficiency in defence program management. McNamara sought improved
effectiveness through a formal five-year program designed to reduce costs. He
also sought efficient methods of managing joint service strategy coordination,
requirements' analysis and planning, and improved alignment between the
choice of requirements and the size and nature of the acquisition program. The
Australian Defence Organisation (ADO) and the UK Ministry of Defence later
sought to implement their own forms of PPBS. Recently, both have introduced
program management innovations that seek to achieve more reliably effective
and efficient outcomes.
The thesis has reviewed program management theory with a particular focus on
its implementation challenges relating to strategic management, program
review, personnel management and program coordination. It has sought to
answer the research problem: Which specific management designs could offer
better outcomes for Australian defence technological edge programs? The
thesis' central proposition is that the greatest opportunities for improving
defence program outcomes occur when classic PPBS concepts are
implemented within a Program Management System that incorporates Zero-
Base budgeting (ZBB), Management by Objectives (MBO), and Matrix
structural systems. All of these systems, either alone or in combination seek to
enhance program quality, scheduling, financial management and evaluation.
The research used in-depth case study research based on qualitative data found
within a selection of recent Australian National Audit Office reports, and other
public records. The central proposition is subjected to dynamic reliabilityrelated
contingency analysis and evaluation. The thesis concludes with the
proposition that if managers were to implement a contingency based integrated
mixture of the above-mentioned systems they could expect improved
technological edge program outcomes.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse explore le rôle du système financier pour observer le rattrapage technologique. En effet, les mécanismes de financement influencent la production et les exportations de produits nouveaux ou dits "nouveaux pour le marché". Nous développons des indices de la variété globale des exportations (VGE), de la variété des exportations liée (VEL) et non liée (VEN) en utilisant la fonction d'entropie sur un échantillon de 152 pays, obtenu à partir de la base de données NBER et NU, et pour la période 1962-2004. Les modèles de régression sur des données de panel confirment que la VEL et la VEN déterminent la performance de croissance des pays d’une manière significative sur le court et le long terme. En outre, nous utilisons ces indices comme variables dépendantes, sur une plus courte période (1992 à 2004) et sur un plus petit échantillon (97 pays). Les ratios de crédit bancaire et de capitalisation boursière sont les variables indépendantes. Par ailleurs, nous intégrons plusieurs dimensions des pays observés. Nos résultats montrent que le système financier est un déterminant important pour mesurer les indices de variété des exportations pour l’ensemble des pays étudiés. Toutefois les réussites dans les pays en termes de variété des exportations, révèlent que le système bancaire et le marché boursier jouent des rôles distincts. Le premier étant relativement plus approprié à la VEL et le second à la VEN. Une telle spécialisation des systèmes financiers semble confirmer que les marchés boursiers sont plus adéquats pour financer les innovations radicales, sur longue période, et pour accroître la VEN. L'analyse qualitative de la Corée du Sud et du Brésil offre une représentation plus réaliste des institutions financières soutenant l'innovation dans ces deux pays. Cette dernière approche confirme que la flexibilité du système financier et sa résilience sont des conditions nécessaires pour le rattrapage technologique, qui repose aussi sur une indispensable bonne coordination du système national d'innovationThis study explores the role of the financial system in technological catching-up in the expectation that financing mechanisms affect the production and the exports of new or “new to the market” commodities. We have developed indices of overall export variety (OEV), of related export variety (REV) and of unrelated export variety (UEV) by using the entropy function for a sample of 152 countries using NBER & UN trade data for the period 1962-2004. Panel data regression models confirm that REV in the short-run and UEV in the long-run significantly and positively determine the growth performance of the countries. Furthermore, we used these indices, for a shorter period (1992 to 2004) and for a smaller sample (97 countries), sequentially as dependent variables with bank credit ratio and stock market capitalization ratio as independent variables in our regressions, including several dimensions of the countries constructed through principal component factor analysis. Our findings show that the financial system is an important determinant of all types of export variety for all countries but that for the most successful developers the banking system and the stock market start playing different roles, with the former being relatively more appropriate for REV and the latter for UEV. Such specialization of different forms of the financial system seems to confirm that stock markets are likely to be relatively more appropriate to fund the more exploratory, long range, types of innovations which are required to increase UEV. Qualitative analysis of South-Korea and of Brazil provides a more realistic representation of the financial institutions which support innovation in both countries and confirms that the financial system’s flexibility and resilience is a necessary condition for catching-up in addition to the development of a well coordinated national system of innovation

Hourly time resolution is used for duration ofone year.Simple analysis, which does not rely on optimisation model, was performed using only final consumption,wind and solar power production data. It indicated seasonal energy shortages significantly varying betweenthe years and accounting up to a quarter of cumulative hourly shortages or more than 8% of the annual finalconsumption.The model developed in this study optimises the annualised system costs, while balancing consumptionwith production at each hour of the year under various constraints. Both installed capacity and its dispatchare varied. The model is deterministic with linear formulation and is run using GAMS and MatLab software.Six technologies are included: onshore wind, solar, biomass, hydro, pumped hydro and power-to-powerstorage systems. Wind and solar installed capacities and hourly output are scaled proportionally fromreference year values. Curtailment is not restricted. Biomass annual electric output is limited by its amountin the reference year. Hydro and pumped hydro are modelled based on two large existing plants in thecountry. They are the only technologies which capacity cannot be increased. Power-to-power storage systemis further divided into three systems (power to hydrogen, hydrogen storage, hydrogen to power) and aresized independently. Different technologies used for these systems depending on scenario. Four scenariosanalysed address possible differences in technology availability as well as economic environment. Majorsimplifications used in the model and their expected impact on overall system costs are listed and brieflydiscussed.Model runs result in system costs being 2.9 to 5.3 times larger than electricity purchase costs of the countryin a reference year from existing wholesale market. Majority of these costs are for wind and solar capacitywhich covers not only final demand, large losses in storage systems, but is also oversized resulting incurtailed surplus levels of 11% to 46% depending on scenario. Sensitivity analysis was performed runningmodel for different wind and solar costs up to 5 time lower than their current values. Extrapolated trendsshow wind cost reductions having larger impact and that 6.2 to 8.3 times lower wind costs would be neededto get system costs lower than what was paid for electricity in the wholesale market during the referenceyear.Given limited number of technologies considered and isolation of the system large cost reduction potentialwith existing technologies is expected. Four most promising model expansion areas are analysed, which add:more storage technologies, neighbouring Latvian power sector, heating sector, more detailed biomasspotential representation. Work validity, applicability in other county cases and even further directions forfuture work directions are discussed.A paper summarising this work is submitted and accepted for presentation in 17th Wind IntegrationWorkshop in Stockholm. It can be found as an appendix at the end of this report.Denna studie syftar till att förbättra rollen och kunskapen för energilagring och andra tekniker som möjliggör ett variabelt, ekonomiskt och förnybart energisystem som förväntas minska de negativa externaliterna hos det existerande systemet, såsom, miljömässiga, ekonomiska och omvärldsberoende. Studien fokuserar på det isolerade litauiska kraftsystemet, som för närvarande förlitar sig på andra icke- förnybara kraftkällor. Analysen i studien jämför ett existerande referensår och antar ett scenario med 100% förnybart med åtminstone 80% av detta från sol och vind. En timuppdelning har använts för att återspegla en simuleringstid på ett år. Initialt så utformades en enkel analys som inte förlitar sig på en optimeringsmodell utan endast använde data från sol- och vindproduktions. Analysen indikerade att en energibrist kommer att existera under vissa säsonger under året. Energibristen förväntas bestå av en fjärdedel av den sammanlagda bristen under ett antal timmar och mer än 8% av den årliga slutkonsumtionen. Vidare så konstruerades en modell för att optimera den årliga systemkostnaden med beaktande av en kontinuerlig balansering av produktion och konsumtion över året. Både den installerade effekten för sol och vind varierades. Analysen är gjord i programvarorna GAMS och MatLab, där en linjär modell formulerades. I denna analys är dessa tekniker inkluderade: vind, sol, biomassa, vattenkraft, pumpkraft och kraftverk baserade på vätgaslagring. De installerade effekterna på sol och vind med deras timvisa produktion är skalade från värden för ett referensår. Ingen hänsyn är tagen till eventuella reduceringar och den årliga produktionen från biomassa begränsas utifrån referensåret. Vattenkraftens förmåga är baserat på de två existerande vattenkraftverken i landet, och är de enda två teknikerna där kapaciteten inte kan expandera. Vidare så är kraftverk baserad på vätgaslagring uppdelat i tre olika system (från elkraft till vätgas, vätgaslagring och vätgas till elkraft) och är skalade individuellt. Beroende på scenario så har olika tekniker använts för dessa system. Fyra scenarier har analyserats och beaktar olika tekniska utvecklings-, miljö- och ekonomiska möjligheter. De främsta förenklingar som gjorts i modellen och deras fulla effekt på systemets kostnader är listade och diskuterats översiktligt. Resultaten från modellen visar att systemkostnaderna blir 2.9 till 5.3 gånger högre än om elektriciteten skulle varit köpt från den nationella marknaden under referensåret. Den installerade kapaciteten för sol och vind står för majoriteten av dessa kostnader. Trots att den täcker den slutgiltiga efterfrågan så finns det stora förluster i lagringssystem samt att de är överdimensionerade med 11-46% beroende på scenario. En känslighetsanalys gjordes genom att variera kostnaderna för dessa tekniker med upp till 5 gånger lägre än deras befintliga värde. Extrapolerade trender visar att kostnaderna för vindkraften har en större påverkan på den övergripande kostnaden för hela energisystemet. För att nå en lägre kostnad jämfört om man skulle köpa elektricitet från den nationella marknaden så skulle priset för vindkraft behöva sjunka 6.2 till 8.3 gånger. Resultaten visar att trots de begränsande teknikmöjligheterna och isolering av systemet som har tagits hänsyn till så finns det kostreduceringspotential. De fyra mest lovande att vidare analysera är: mer lagringstekniker, integrera med den lettiska energi- och värmesektorn samt en mer detaljerad undersökning av biomasspotentialen. En validering av studein, applicerbarhet i andra länder samt framtida studier diskuteras också. En artikel som summerar denna studie är insänd och godkänd för presentation den 17th Wind Integration Workshop i Stockholm. Den finn i ett appendix i slutet av denna rapport.

Texto completoResumen
Factors that could enable the development of a distribution system for hydrogen applied to heavy-duty vehicles in Sweden are studied in this thesis. Fuel cell and hydrogen technology could be a solution in an electrification mix to reduce the environmental impacts of heavy-duty vehicles (Neef, 2009). However, the distribution system for hydrogen in Sweden is limited, with only five hydrogen refueling stations geographically dispersed (Vätgas Sverige, n.d.). In addition, distribution options at the lowest-cost delivery mode are highly dependent on the hydrogen application, density of demand, quantity to be transported, and distance between the delivery point and the production (Bersani, et al., 2018) To determine what factors could be decisive to develop a distribution system, the technological innovation system framework has been applied in this study. The analysis is carried out with the framework’s system functions. Further, the analysis is based on literature on hydrogen that considers hindering factors and barriers, policy recommendations, lock-in effects, distribution and transportation, and centralized vs. de-centralized systems. Moreover, data has been collected through 11 semi-structured interviews with actors from different sectors, energy companies, truck manufacturers, and researchers, amongst others. The analysis concludes that cross-sectoral collaboration, pilot testing, and governmental support can be enabling factors for the development of a distribution system in Sweden.Faktorer som kan möjliggöra utvecklingen av ett distributionssystem för vätgas applicerat för tunga fordon i Sverige studeras i den här studien. Tekniken för bränsleceller och vätgas kan vara en lösning i en elektrifieringsmix för att minska miljöpåverkan från tunga fordon (Neef,2009). Distributionssystemet för vätgas i Sverige är dock begränsat, med endast fem vätgastankstationer som är geografiskt spridda (Vätgas Sverige, n.d.). Dessutom är distributionsalternativen till lägst kostnad i hög grad beroende av väteapplikationen, efterfrågan, kvantitet som ska transporteras och avståndet mellan leveranspunkten och produktionen (Bersani, et al., 2018). För att avgöra vilka faktorer som kan vara avgörande för att utveckla ett distributionssystem har ramverket för teknisk innovation system tillämpats i den här studien. Analysen utförs med ramverkets systemfunktioner. Vidare baseras analysen på litteratur om väte som tar hänsyn till hindrande faktorer och barriärer, policyrekommendationer, lock-in-effekter, distribution och transport och centraliserade kontra decentraliserade system. Dessutom har data samlats ingenom 11 halvstrukturerade intervjuer med aktörer från olika sektorer, energibolag, lastbilstillverkare och forskare, bland annat. Utifrån analysen dras slutsatsen att sektorsövergripande samarbete, pilottestning och statligt stöd är faktorer som kan möjliggöra en utveckling av ett distributionssystem för vätgas i Sverige.

Texto completoResumen
This study is a qualitative research on the faciliating and impeding factors that influence Hong Kong citizen's adoption of Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS), the principal electronic health record (EHR) system in Hong Kong. A majority of the previous studies of EHR among information systems (IS) literature either focused within the institutional or technological perspectives, or on the perspectives of healthcare institutions or healthcare professionals. Little research has been done from citizens' perspective on factors of their adoption of EHR. There is also little research specific to Hong Kong's circumstances. This research aims to provide an enhanced understanding on the factors that influence citizens' EHR adoption through looking into eHRSS adoption in Hong Kong. It aims to provide contributions to bridge the knowledge gaps by providing a better understanding on adoption factors from citizens' perspective, and investigate into whether there are any unique factors applicable to Hong Kong. In this study, semi-structured interviews had been performed on participants covering various age groups to collect their views and opinions concering their adoption of eHRSS. With reference to theoretical constructs on user acceptance and adoption, this study identifies four facilitating factors for citizens' adoption of eHRSS, namely (i) knowledge, (ii) trust, (iii) perceived potential health benefits and (iv) flexibility and "stickiness" of continual use. Four impeding factors for citizens' non-adoption were also identified, namely (i) difficulty in registration, low level/lack of trust in EHR implementation, (iii) negativity on acceptance of new technology and (iv) perceived difficulty in usage. In the concluding remarks, way forward for future research has been outlined. Practical recommendations have also been formulated for reference by relevant authorities in administering eHRSS in Hong Kong.

Texto completoResumen
China’s investments in R&D are forecast to surpass those of the US in 2022, thereby attracting capital, innovation and a large number of returnee managers. In the past eight years alone, the number of returnees has increased five-fold, with the country’s high-tech parks, particularly Beijing’s Z-Park, also known as China’s Silicon Valley or the Silicon Valley of the East, proving considerable attractions. In this context, in which start-ups are vital for economic growth and for the further development of Chinese investments in leading-edge innovation, understanding how the significant cultural differences between returnee and local managers affect management control systems (MCS) is of key importance.
Drawing on a survey of more than 200 companies and data from 435 one-to-one interviews, this study investigates the relationship between CEO characteristics, government financial support and MCS sophistication in the context of fast-growing high-tech enterprises in China’s Silicon Valley. The study develops an MCS sophistication index as an aggregate measure of six main factors (the importance of MCS to the firm, system structure, system operations, system completeness, frequency of use and the level of data aggregation), and measures MCS sophistication by 46 individual management control subsystems.
The study predicts and verifies a positive relationship between CEO and firm international exposure and between CEO education and the level of MCS sophistication. It also predicts and verifies a positive relationship between government financial support and MCS sophistication in a context in which privately held and managed venture capital and banks provide such support.
The study further analyses the interaction effect of government financial support and CEO characteristics on MCS sophistication. Its empirical findings suggest that, despite their cultural differences, neither local nor returnee managers feel the need for better MCS. Only when there is potential access to government funding do returnee managers have better tools to implement more sophisticated MCS than their local counterparts, thus underlining how international work experience provides Chinese managers with the tools, but not the mindset, for superior MCS.
Most previous studies focus on listed companies in China, whereas this study constitutes one of the first to focus on start-ups using an extensive array of data. It also contributes to the definition of a more systematic MCS sophistication measure, thus allowing more complete analysis of MCS at the firm level. Improving upon previous studies, the research reported herein also encompasses a large set of CEO characteristics to analyse their interaction with government financial support, thereby contributing to a better understanding of MCS in a key area of China’s future development.published_or_final_version

Texto completoResumen
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilitates better communication within the construction industry and has the potential to change the industry beyond recognition. The aim of this research is to develop a theoretical Digital Nervous System (DNS) model for the UK construction industry to enable companies to improve their corporate business performance. To accomplish the aim of the research, the author conducted extensive secondary and primary data collection. Two primary research techniques were adopted to elicit data and information from respondents, these were; questionnaire surveys and structured interviews. A comprehensive review of secondary data was undertaken, this included a review of published literature, both in print and electronic format. A theoretical DNS model has been proposed by the author in this research. This DNS model is able to support and integrate the following functions: To manage inner-company operations more efficiently using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Intranet technology. To use Extranets to improve communication with business partners by sharing up-to-date information. To exploit the potential of the Internet to increase interaction with the public, interest groups and potential clients. To create commercial benefits available to the construction industry through the use of e-Commerce. The potential benefits of utilising a DNS model for a construction organisation are significant. The possible improvements that can be attributed to adopting the DNS model proposed by the author of this research include: • Reduction in an organisation's costs and construction time. • Improved profits. • Reduction in defects and waste. • Increase in productivity and client satisfaction.
