White paper on measuring innovation team capability, with industrial cases. How do we know that we are innovative? This question was asked by a manager of a software development team with the explicit responsibility of creating and analyzing innovative product features before actual product development projects are started. Similar questions...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems. Abstract Increasingly, manufacturers become service providers rather than product providers. In this work, a framework based on industrial studies is suggested for developing product service system. The framework is represented by five life cycle...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems. Abstract This paper reports on a qualitative study, carried out at a Swedish aero engine manufacturer. The study was initiated to explore key indicators related to innovation capability in a Product-Service System (PSS) context....
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Research into Design, ICoRD’11. Abstract Across industrial settings and environmental conditions, innovation is viewed as a source of advancing firms’ competitive position. Recently, a shift has been witnessed from the traditional innovation model, which mainly focused on internal research...
