The adoption of disruptive technologies that can accelerate digital transformation has also increased during this period. The main objective of this study is to identify and develop a potential use case of blockchain technology in the pre-adoption phase of blockchain for improving the management of optimal distribution of solar energy electricity through a microgrid in the south of Sweden enabling a small business to enhance consumer behavior monitoring and therefore, incentivizing consumers on consumption of solar energy. Based on a qualitative research approach involving data collected through a variety of methods, this paper proposes and evaluates a potential use case of blockchain technology adoption in a smaller Swedish organization operating in solar energy distribution industry focusing on the pre-adoption phase.Journal of Innovation and Knowledge2530-76142444-569XSubmittedseyzamhh2024-12-042024-12-06diva2:1918334refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertarticleartArticle in journalArtikel i tidskriftArtikkel i tidsskriftarticleCardoso ChrispimMarianaPostdoktor1990-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetUniversity of Groningen, Leeuwarden, Netherlandsorcid.org=0000-0001-9466-2846diva-portal.org=authority-person:102258MattssonMarie1960-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0001-9157-7400diva-portal.org=authority-person:33691UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetpblPerception and awareness of circular economy within water-intensive and bio-based sectorsUnderstanding, benefits and barriersengAmsterdamElsevier20242024-06-14T16:53:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-5380010.1016/j.jclepro.2024.1427252-s2.0-85195293140142725https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142725textBioeconomyChallengesCircularityKnowledgeOrganisationsStrategiesSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivPROACTSResearch subjectPROACTSResearch subjectPerception and awareness can affect behaviour and decision-making, for example, how companies implement Circular Economy (CE) practices. However, there is limited empirical research about this topic. Thus, we investigated the perception and awareness of representatives from water-intensive and bio-based sectors regarding the CE concept based on interviews and a survey with 10 companies in Sweden. Our results indicate that CE is understood mainly as zero waste and its key principles are resource efficiency and ecodesign. Missing (or partially addressed) important elements of CE are consumption, social aspects, regenerative role of CE, collaboration, and Industrial Symbiosis. The main benefit from implementing circular strategies is economic, and the main barrier is the lack of financial resources. The bio-based companies have a broader understanding of CE and its benefits than the water-intensive companies. Overall, more clarification and standardisation of the CE concept is necessary to avoid misunderstanding with other concepts such as sustainability. © 2024 The AuthorsJournal of Cleaner Production0959-65261879-1786464PublishedHögskolan i Halmstadjonolshh2024-06-142024-06-17diva2:1870636refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertreviewforArticle, review/surveyArtikel, forskningsöversiktArtikkel, forskningsoversiktarticleOsmanovicSenad1990-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0009-0006-7889-5483diva-portal.org=authority-person:111277BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetpblUncaptured value in sustainable business model innovationthe missing linkengBingleyEmerald Group Publishing Limited20242024-05-31T16:56:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-5350310.1108/TECHS-02-2024-00102-s2.0-85193703754https://doi.org/10.1108/TECHS-02-2024-0010textSustainabilitySustainable business model innovationSystematic literature reviewThe missing linkUncaptured valueSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessBusiness AdministrationSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivFöretagsekonomiPurpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to understand what the phenomenon of uncaptured value is, identify where it is operationalized and explore how it can be transformed into value opportunities. Uncaptured value in sustainable business model innovation can lead to new value creation which, in turn, can promote practices of innovation, sustainability and inclusiveness. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review was conducted using eight databases to identify 47 articles using the phrase sustainable business model innovation along with the terms value uncaptured, value surplus, value absence, value missed and value destroyed. Findings: The findings have identified that uncaptured value is reoccurring in sustainable business model innovation but is left as the missing link. This paper outlines the novelties of uncaptured value in sustainable business model innovation into a framework that can be used for future research, which is also discussed, concluded and suggested. Originality/value: A framework for the continued research on uncaptured value in sustainable business model innovation with an emphasis on influences, operationalization and practices has been created to further the research frontier and capture the missing link. © 2024, Senad Osmanovic, Henrik Barth and Pia Ulvenblad.Funding: The authors would like to acknowledge financial support through the Ploutos project.

Amidst pressing environmental, climate and urbanisation challenges, cities play a pivotal role in the global transition towards sustainability. Traditionally, circular economy (CE) principles have been embraced by businesses and governments to enhance resource efficiency and foster sustainable development. However, it is crucial to extend these principles to the city level, creating more resilient and sustainable urban environments and building a circular city brand. This study identifies several circular initiatives in Swedish cities, opening the opportunities for using circularity in city branding. These examples showcase holistic system thinking, like sewage and energy systems, and industrial symbiosis between companies. They also highlight the sustainable kitchen, covering food waste, transportation, values, and behaviours. The social dimension is crucial, especially for fostering a diverse and inclusive knowledge base for circular city brand. The aim of this study is to discuss to what extend CE principles can be utilised in city branding strategies.Theoretical framework. ‘Circular city’ is a relatively new concept, characterised by city’s ability to maximise resource value, minimise waste generation and foster sustainable innovations. Building upon the principles of smart and sustainable cities, circular cities further develop and integrate these concepts, placing primary emphasis on stakeholder engagement, cooperation, and co-creation utilising digital technologies. Main research approach. Research on circular city branding is rather fragmented and needs further conceptualisation. Descriptive research approach is based on the analysis of existing circular city initiatives in Sweden and provides insights, suggestions, and directions of building a city brand with circularity in focus. Key arguments/findings. The findings suggest the importance of collaboration, innovation, and digital technologies for building a circular city brand. Conclusions. This study discusses the potential of integrating CE principles into city branding. By recognizing cities as key players in the global sustainability transition policymakers, urban planners, and place branding professionals can develop effective strategies to promote circularity at the city level. Several practical implications can be considered: · Cities should align place branding with CE principles to communicate their commitment to sustainability and resilience.· Engaging different groups of stakeholders is essential for co-creating circular city initiatives and fostering a sense of ownership and participation.· Leveraging digital technologies can enhance stakeholder engagement, facilitate collaboration, and communicate circularity initiatives effectively.· Learning from existing circular city initiatives, both within Sweden and globally, can provide valuable insights for building a successful city brand with circularity in focus.Book of Abstracts8th Annual Conference of the International Place Branding Association (IPBA), Hosted by the Marketing Department, Chulalongkorn Business School. 30 October -

The study also draws on findings from a consumer study, targeting sustainable shopping habits and interest towards new ways of purchasing food in the future. Results indicate that new sustainable business models can provide sustainable values for both farmers as well as end-consumers, but the traditional value chain need to be evaluated on value adding aspects and traceability along the process. Additionally, the end-consumer indicate an interest to purchase food directly from the farmer, which is considered as an important aspect for better animal health and welfare. This is an important aspect to include when doing business model innovation in the agricultural sector.Forskningsrådet Formas [2020-02729]https://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1935802/FULLTEXT01.pdfprojectproject:2700hebahh2025-02-072025-03-04diva2:1935802otherpopOther (popular science, discussion, etc.)Övrig (populärvetenskap, debatt, mm)Annet (populærvitenskap, debatt, mm)reportrapReportRapportRapportbookZalkatGhazal1987-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0001-5796-3746diva-portal.org=authority-person:74233BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720UlvenbladPer-Ola1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetdiva-portal.org=authority-person:55559UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetpblInformation and Communication Technology, Animal Welfare and Business model innovation in the Agricultural sector - Bibliometric Literature Revieweng20242025-02-07T16:09:0033https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-55414textinformation and communication technologybusiness modelsagricultural sectorliterature reviewSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivPROACTSResearch subjectPROACTSResearch subjectBackground: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption across the agricultural sector has grown and changed rapidly over the past years, which may contribute significantly to addressing global challenges. However, ICT adoption is facing technology-integrating challenges in business operations and business model innovation. Thus, to develop and strengthen a sustainable, competitive agricultural sector and to achieve profitable development, it is important to increase the knowledge of ICTs and their impacts, especially when it comes to animal welfare. Moreover, it is important to empower developed business models and governance of innovation ecosystems to release the full potential of ICT and its widespread adoption. Purpose: This paper aims to explore the literature on ICT and business model innovation in the Agricultural sector. The research aims to stimulate the use of ICT in the agricultural sector, recognizing the role of business model innovation in releasing the full potential of ICT and promoting the widespread adoption of ICT, and address the sustainable aspect of animal welfare.Method: This study combines a systematic literature review approach with bibliometric analysis. To develop the Bibliometric Literature Review, Scopus and Web of Science databases were used together with software: Rayyan and VOSviewer. Rayyan was used to manage the collaboration between the researcher team during the review process. Then, the maps were created by VOSviewer. We conduct a science mapping to examine the relationships between research constituents. The techniques for science mapping include citation analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, co-word analysis, and co-authorship analysis.Findings: The study shows an increasing trend of year-on-year publications, authors' performance, publication journals, associated institutions, and research-driving countries, along with key insights from co-citation network analysis. Different perspectives showed the multidisciplinary nature of the topic. It is a fragmented literature regarding the authors and countries' publications. The results map and discuss the main issues that are covered in ICT fields and business models in agriculture, thereby providing suggestions for future research and policy. The bibliometric analysis reveals the descriptive statistics on this field and the main themes through the authors' keywords.Research limitations/implications: The research explores a topic in the early stage to define key strands of literature. Limitations arise from the sources used to develop our analysis and how the topic appears as a frontier innovation.Originality/value: Originality is the integration of literature strands related to ICT and business model innovation in the Agricultural sector, highlighting its multidisciplinary nature to provide a holistic understanding of the themes. This Bibliometric Literature Review provides a supporting output that can help both research and policies that aim to boost innovation in the agricultural sector. The paper contributes to the knowledge by organizing, rationalizing, and extending the extant literature with valuable insights about the current status of research; most cited articles, authors, journals, keywords, and contributing communities using various bibliometric techniques.Forskningsrådet Formas [2020-02729]https://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1935793/FULLTEXT01.pdfprojectproject:2700hebahh2025-02-072025-03-13diva2:1935793refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertchapterkapChapter in bookKapitel i bok, del av antologiKapittel i bok, del av antologibookitemMattssonSandraautRise IVF AB, Mölndal, Swedenorcid.org=0000-0001-8694-4122PalmquistAdamautNord University, Bodø, Norwayorcid.org=0000-0003-0943-6022UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetpblUsing Analogue Game Mechanics to Reduce Gender Inequality and Exclusion in Technology EducationengHershey, PAIGI Global20232023-11-15T17:46:0097983693045569798369304532https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-5204310.4018/979-8-3693-0453-2.ch019gz3kntf5d74cztj32-s2.0-85170991912textSocial SciencesEducational SciencesPedagogySamhällsvetenskapUtbildningsvetenskapPedagogikPROACTSResearch subjectPROACTSResearch subjectTechnology education has traditionally been male dominated, and many educator providers struggle to both attract and keep females related to education. Gamification, the use of game elements in a nongame context, has been shown to increase student engagement and inclusion in the learning environment. However, the gamification design and development process has been declared resource-demanding, which has reduced the more tailored approaches resulting in more generic ones. This is contradictory to the findings that gamification designs, especially in instruction, are context dependent. Therefore, this chapter displays an analogue gamification approach that is applied in a real-life environment, a technology vocational school, supporting the teachers’ combat of gender inequality and expediting diversity and inclusion. © 2023 by IGI Global.

However, most of the existing tools do not consider the systemic view and principles of CE. The aim of this paper is to assess the contributions and limitations of CE assessment tools regarding the key elements: social dimension, stakeholder engagement, R-imperatives and industrial symbiosis. Also, the aim is to offer guidance for improvements towards a CE transition. The methodology was an integrative literature review; then based on the critical assessment of tools a guide was created. Thirty-eight tools were thoroughly analysed and our results show that there is a limited number of multidisciplinary tools (only 10), that is including all CE key elements, and in some cases partly. Social dimension is not fully explored; only 6 tools have indicators related to society, local community, customers, and workers. Recommendations for future tools development include to offer training for possible users of the tools and to develop tools for the service sector. Finally, we conclude that all the key elements of CE are interconnected. The proposed guide-ACTION (Assessing Circular Transition In Organisations Now)- includes the key elements, databases, tools, and indicators, and is aligned with the CE principles to help the assessment. © 2022 The Author(s)Sustainable Production and Consumption2352-550935539558PublishedHögskolan i Halmstadmaricahh2022-12-222025-02-10diva2:1721619refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertchapterkapChapter in bookKapitel i bok, del av antologiKapittel i bok, del av antologibookitemDurstSusanneDr. och docent1974-autTallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estoniaorcid.org=0000-0001-8469-2427diva-portal.org=authority-person:58667DinlerEzgiautYildiz Technical University, Istanbul, TurkeyUlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetpblCrisis LeadershipWhat Do We Know by Now?engBingleyEmerald Group Publishing Limited20222022-10-25T19:38:05978-1-80117-709-2978-1-80117-710-8978-1-80117-708-5https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4852810.1108/978-1-80117-708-520221003textCrisisCrisis LeadershipCrisis ManagementCrisis communicationSystematic Literature ReviewSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessBusiness AdministrationSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivFöretagsekonomiThis chapter reviews extant research on crisis leadership to establish the current body of knowledge and, on this basis, suggest some promising avenues for future research on crisis leadership in general and crisis leadership in tourism in particular. The focus in this chapter has been put on crisis leadership as it is the leadership of an organization that is normally in charge of the existence and execution of crisis management in general and thus also the possible effects of this crisis management. The chapter applies a systematic literature review covering 66 articles published in peer-reviewed journals.

There are several factors that can affect safety in working life. In general, previous research shows that managerial and leadership behaviours affect safety and well-being regardless of the type of industry. A leadership with a focus on safety affects the safety climate and the outcome in the form of accidents in an organisation. The interaction between managers and employees regarding safety issues also has a positive effect on safety. Leaders who are instead passive regarding safety issues have significant negative effects on safety, contribute to an increased number of accidents and reduce safety-related behaviour in the organisation. This means that employees with passive leaders themselves become less interested in engaging in safety activities. Shift work has also been shown to affect the health and safety of employees. For example, studies show that higher sickness absence is associated with three-shift rotation compared to two-shift rotation and that fatigue and insomnia may be an effect of shift work. Further, research also shows a link between fatigue and a higher frequency of accidents. In this paper, we use a co-creation approach to capture the safety challenges related to shift work. The overall methodological approach in this study is action-oriented research. The empirical data is collected with interviews and focus groups which altogether include 56 respondents with more than 700 years of joint work experiences from shift work in the forest industry. Preliminary results show the importance of creating a safety culture where both the management and the employees take active part and responsibility in solutions. The managers have the formal responsibility, including law and regulation related to safety aspects. The employees in turn have the responsibility for their own choices and behaviours not least related to food, sleep, and training. © 2022 WIT Press.WIT Transactions on the Built Environment167176Garzia S.

This paper, which reviews the business model literature in the biomass energy sector, identifies trends as well as challenges and complications in the use of biomass. We used seven data bases to search for relevant international, peer-reviewed research on business models and biomass. In our initial database search, we identified 287 relevant articles published in the years 1990 to 2020. After elimination of duplicate articles, we had a collection of 170 articles. We used Zotero software to refine our search. After application of our criteria, 146 articles remained. Further analysis reduced our review to 95 articles that had a theoretical focus on business models and biomass. Our review presents various data for the articles including author affiliation by country, article publication date, article title, journal of publication, journal impact factor, country of empirical data, unit of analysis. research methodology, and topics addressed. Additionally, our review reveals trends (e.g., research/practice challenges and implications) in the study of business models and the biomass energy sector as reflected in the reviewed articles. To our knowledge, this is the first literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles on business models and the biomass industry. By limiting our final review to the 95 theoretical articles we identified, we provide researchers and practitioners with sources of recent discussions and analyses on the trends, challenges, and implications related to the use of biomass in energy production.Proceedings IFKADKnowledge Drivers for Resilience and Transformation Distribution IFKAD 2022 – Lugano, Switzerland 20-22 June 2022289311Giovanni Schiuma; Antonio Bassi17th International Forum on Knowledge Asset Dynamics (IFKAD 2022), Lugano, Switzerland, June 20-22, 2022jonolshh2023-12-152024-12-02diva2:1819982refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertarticleartArticle in journalArtikel i tidskriftArtikkel i tidsskriftarticleeditorialMaterialDurstSusanneautTallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estoniaorcid.org=0000-0001-8469-2427TemelSerdalautEge University, Izmir, Turkeyorcid.org=0000-0002-6391-7372UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetorcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetpblThe Future of Organizations in the Age of Digital Transformation – A Critical Discussion Beyond Marketing and BuzzwordengBaden-BadenNomos Verlagsgesellschaft20212022-05-16T14:38:04https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4673910.5771/0935-9915-2021-2-1060007044897000022-s2.0-85111295134https://doi.org/10.5771/0935-9915-2021-2-106textNatural SciencesComputer and Information SciencesInformation SystemsNaturvetenskapData- och informationsvetenskapSystemvetenskap, informationssystem och informatikThe need for preparing for the digital transformation has been a recurrent theme in public and academic debates, and the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed considerably to actions as well. © 2021, Management Revue.

While SMEs are shown to be of great importance for the development in society they often suffer from Liability of Smallness (LoS) especially in the area of HRM. In smaller firms, HRM practices are characterized by ad hoc and idiosyncratic solutions and less formality. In this paper, we show how co-creation can be used to develop HR practices in an SME. The overall methodological approach in this study is action-oriented research. The empirical data is collected with a mixed-method approach including documents, interviews, focus groups, observations, pulse meetings and feedback on the process and results. The co-creation process benefits from using co-creation activities to drive the process forward as well as consolidate the results during the process.

The sustainability of doing ‘more of the same thing’ is being increasingly called into question. Several sustainable business model frameworks have been presented in recent years to address these challenges, but our knowledge is limited about the change processes of the agricultural sector. This paper aims to increase our understanding of how sustainable business models have developed in the agricultural sector in Sweden. It maps eight archetypes of sustainable business models, clustered in three groups, with a focus on the technological, social, and organisational innovation components at agri-food companies. The study takes a quantitative, methodological approach, conducting a telephone survey with owners and managers of 1143 agri-food companies in Sweden, and using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the analysis. The paper provides empirical evidence on the various options for sustainable business models that Swedish agri-food companies use. No major differences were found with respect to technical or social innovation components in the three regions: East, south, and north Sweden. However, significant differences were found between the regions with respect to the organisational innovation component. The organisational innovation component is based on two sustainable business model archetypes, namely, repurpose for society/environment and develop scale up solutions. North Sweden had a higher degree of organisational innovation than both south and east Sweden. The reason for this could be the larger environmental, economic, and organizational challenges in north Sweden compared to the rest of the country, which makes the need for innovation stronger. The paper also suggests new areas for researchers and practical avenues for stakeholders in the agricultural sector (and other industries) to translate social and environmental value creation into economic profit and competitive advantage. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use sustainable business model archetypes in an empirical setting in the agricultural sector. © 2021 The AuthorsFunding: Stiftelsen LantbruksforskningJournal of Cleaner Production0959-65261879-1786304Publishedmayhovhh2021-04-142024-12-02diva2:1544306refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertchapterkapChapter in bookKapitel i bok, del av antologiKapittel i bok, del av antologibookitemTellJoakim1967-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Business Model Innovation (BMI)orcid.org=0000-0002-7139-7338diva-portal.org=authority-person:33718HoveskogMaya1980-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Business Model Innovation (BMI)orcid.org=0000-0002-5849-1442diva-portal.org=authority-person:33690UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837UlvenbladPer-Ola1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0001-6679-8981diva-portal.org=authority-person:55559BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720StåhlJenny1973-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)diva-portal.org=authority-person:61509Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Business Model Innovation (BMI)pblHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)pblHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)pblBusiness Model Innovation in the Agri-Food SectorengHersheyIGI Global20202020-07-29T12:02:0097815225961589781522596165https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4289410.4018/978-1-5225-9615-8.ch050textSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessBusiness AdministrationSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivFöretagsekonomiSustainable BusinessConcepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications11081122mayhovhh2020-07-292024-12-02diva2:1455828refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertarticleartArticle in journalArtikel i tidskriftArtikkel i tidsskriftarticleUlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720UlvenbladPer-Ola1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0001-6679-8981diva-portal.org=authority-person:55559StåhlJenny1973-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)diva-portal.org=authority-person:61509Cederholm BjörklundJennieautThe Rural Economy and Agricultural Society, Halland, SwedenHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)pblOvercoming barriers in agri-business developmenttwo education programs for entrepreneurs in the Swedish agricultural sectorengAbingdonRoutledge20202020-12-01T07:45:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4329010.1080/1389224X.2020.17486690006135019000032-s2.0-85084089036https://doi.org/10.1080/1389224X.2020.1748669textSelf-leadershipleadershipagricultural advisorsmanagement education programsagricultural leadershipbarrierSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessBusiness AdministrationSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivFöretagsekonomiPurpose: The paper compares two government-sponsored education programs for agricultural entrepreneurs: a Leadership program and a Lean program. Methodology: The paper takes both a qualitative and a quantitative approach in its collection and analysis of data from 54 semi- structured interviews and from a survey with 109 participants. Findings: The main challenges to business and personal development are time pressure and the need for better communications. The Leadership program participants emphasize the effect of internal barriers such asfixed mind-sets. The Lean program participants emphasize the effect of external barriers such asfinancing. Both groups emphasize personal and business growth more than the control group. Practical Implications: Entrepreneur education programs can help participants, program developers, and advisory organizations identify and manage business challenges and barriers. Theoretical Implications: The paper contributes to the literature about educations for entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector with its examination of agricultural entrepreneurs’reflections on barriers and challenges in business development and their linkage to overcoming barriers focused on a resource-based perspective with different types of resources. Originality/Value: The paper encourages examination of development challenges and barriers from the perspective of participators in entrepreneur education programs. © 2020 The Author(s).

This paper examines how Swedish food producers use sustainable business models to innovate their businesses. The empirical data comes from a telephone survey with 204 companies and from case studies of 4 companies. A conceptual framework regarding sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) and a eight sustainable business model archetypes are used to map and analyse the sustainability innovation practices and the sustainable business models. The results show a surprisingly sustainable business focus taken by many companies, which is not only on optimization, but also on organizational transformation and on systems building. The results show the companies vary as far as which archetypes they match. The most common archetype matches are ‘Maximise material and energy efficiency’ and ‘Adopt a stewardship role’. Only 10% measure success solely in financial terms, while 80% measure success in financial terms as well as social and environmental terms. Another conclusion is that companies in the agri-food sector have unique characteristics and the value intention of the entrepreneurs is an important building block in sustainable business model innovation. © 2018 The Author(s).

The programme primarily focused on leadership of employees and on self-leadership. The article’s purpose is to present a template for leadership development programmes that can be used in the agricultural sector and in other industry sectors as well.Design/Methodology:The empirical data come from interviews with agricultural entrepreneurs, agricultural advisors and authors of a book on leadership in its various forms. Observations were also conducted of the instruction in the leadership development programme.Findings:First, agricultural entrepreneurs (and possibly entrepreneurs in other sectors) benefit from leadership development programmes in which the concept and practice of self-leadership are emphasized. Second, such programmes are more valuable to participants if other actors (e.g. academics and advisors) are participants. Third, coaches are useful as support for the programmes’ participants. Practical Implications: An implication of this study is the finding that working with the knowledge transfer and dissemination to advisors and entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector can enhance leadership competences in the industry. Role transformation (e.g. advisor to coach) can also enhance the transfer of such leadership competences.Theoretical implications:An implication for theory is to include a self-leadership module in leadership theories about learning leadership in development programmes.Originality/Value:Knowledge transfer and dissemination through leadership development programmes for agricultural advisors and entrepreneurs can have a beneficial effect on industry leadership and management. In addition to the traditional leadership skills that many leadership development programmes teach, such programmes also need to emphasize self-leadership.The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension1389-224X1750-8622244327343PublishedKK-stiftelsenhttps://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1270546/FULLTEXT01.pdfpimahh2018-12-132020-05-07diva2:1270546refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertarticleartArticle in journalArtikel i tidskriftArtikkel i tidsskriftarticleUlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720Cederholm BjörklundJennieDoktorand1973-autThe Rural Economy and Agricultural Society, Lilla Böslid, Swedenorcid.org=0000-0003-0002-0485diva-portal.org=authority-person:72251HoveskogMaya1980-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Business Model Innovation (BMI)orcid.org=0000-0002-5849-1442diva-portal.org=authority-person:33690UlvenbladPer-Ola1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0001-6679-8981diva-portal.org=authority-person:55559StåhlJenny1973-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)diva-portal.org=authority-person:61509Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)pblHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)pblHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Business Model Innovation (BMI)pblBarriers to business model innovation in the agri-food industryA systematic literature reviewengLondonSage Publications20182018-12-13T15:28:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-3856210.1177/00307270188117850004534810000072-s2.0-85063498631textLiterature reviewagricultureagri-foodinnovation barriersbusiness modelsbusiness model innovationSocial SciencesSocial and Economic GeographyEconomic GeographySamhällsvetenskapSocial och ekonomisk geografiEkonomisk geografiThe importance of business model innovation (BMI) is widely recognized. BMI is especially important in the agri-food industry that faces enormous challenges as the demand for food increases worldwide. Much of the BMI research focuses on the technology and biomedical industries. Far less attention has been paid to the agri-food industry. This article is a systematic literature review of the BMI research in the agri-food industry. The article’s aim is to identify and categorize various barriers to BMI as described in the literature (in English) published in peer-reviewed journals between 1990 and 2014. The findings show a fairly even distribution among external and internal BMI barriers. Because the main barrier is the mind-set that is resistant to change, it is recommended the researchers and practitioners should focus more on the cognitive barriers to BMI in the agri-food industry.Outlook on Agriculture0030-72702043-6866474308314PublishedKK-stiftelsenpimahh2018-12-132024-12-02diva2:1270536refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertconferencePaperkonConference

sustainability and their degree of complexity and maturity. The paper is based on a systematic literature review of 570 journal articles on business models and business model innovation published between 1990 and 2014. Of these articles, only 21 have business model innovation as their main focus. The review shows that research interest in the agri-food sector has increased in these years. The paper proposes a conceptual framework for sustainable business model innovation in the agri-food sector that can be used to meet the challenges encountered in taking a sustainability perspective. © 2017 by the authorsSustainability2071-105099Publishedjehehh2017-12-042024-12-02diva2:1162398refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertconferencePaperkonConference paperKonferensbidragKonferansepaperproceedingabstractsStåhlJenny1973-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)diva-portal.org=authority-person:61509UlvenbladPer-Ola1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0001-6679-8981diva-portal.org=authority-person:55559BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720Cederholm BjörklundJennie1973-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskapThe Rural Economy and Agricultural Society, Halmstad, Swedenorcid.org=0000-0003-0002-0485UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)pblHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskappblHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)pblBarriers and challenges in agriculture business developmentA study of two leadership programs in Swedeneng20172019-05-19T13:31:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-39389textSocial SciencesPolitical SciencePeace and Conflict StudiesSamhällsvetenskapStatsvetenskapFreds- och konfliktforskningSocial SciencesOther Social SciencesOther Social Sciences not elsewhere specifiedSamhällsvetenskapAnnan samhällsvetenskapÖvrig annan samhällsvetenskapPurpose: The purpose of this empirical paper is to illustrate two leadership development programs in Swedish agriculture. Further, it is to compare the two programs related to outcomes in terms of barriers and challenges in the development process and suggest possible ways to continue the leadership development for business model innovation in the agricultural sector.Design/methodology/approach: The data collection includes 54 interviews and a survey sent to 109 entrepreneursin Sweden. The interviews were collected with (i) entrepreneurs who participated in the Project ‘Ledarpraktikan’ (‘Leader practice’) (LP) 2013 and (ii) entrepreneurs who participated in the project ‘Lean Agriculture’ (LA) 2012. The survey was sent in the spring 2017 to 109 entrepreneurs (37 from ´LP´, 35 from ´LA´ and 37 not having participated in any of the programs called control group ´CG´). The overall response rate in the survey is 68% (51% from ´LP´, 80% from ´LA´ and 73% from ‘CG’. Content analysis and descriptive analysis have been used in the study.Findings: From the qualitative studies, we can see that entrepreneurs having participated in ‘LP’ perceive that they have acquired deeper knowledge and understanding regarding selfleadership than entrepreneurs participating in ´LA´. The latter entrepreneurs also have described their need for more knowledge in self-leadership. The entrepreneurs participating in ´LA´ have, through analysis of the day-to-day work, acquired a more developed systematic working environment. The comparison between the three groups in the survey show that there are several similarities between the groups, for example they don´t see institutional rules to be barriers in their firm development process. We have found differences in barriers for business development in terms of (i) growth willingness, (ii) lack of employees, (iii) lack of support and (iv) lack of spare time.Practical implications: There is a need for further leadership development knowledge in Swedish agriculture, both for entrepreneurs in the development of their business models and for agricultural advisors regarding their new role as coaches instead of traditional advisers.Policy implications: It is important that organizations supporting financial solutions for the agricultural businesses also support leadership development programmes in the industry.Originality/value: The originality with the paper is that there has been two large analyses regarding two leadership development programs in Swedish agriculture, which is unique in this industry.</titleInfo></relatedItem><name type="conference"><namePart>15th Rural Entrepreneurship Conference, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, 14-16th

as well as a practical perspective. The methodological approach used in the paper is built on interviews, focus groups and observations of agricultural entrepreneurs and agricultural advisors in the agriculture sector and a review of over 500 peer-reviewed research papers for the period 1990-2014. The findings of the study indicate that entrepreneurs within the agri-food sector ought to shift focus from only a producer perspective to also include an entrepreneurial perspective, e.g. to focus on business model innovation. Based on this knowledge the authors present implications for research and practice. The research field is young and broad, but developing, and in need of stronger theoretical foundations. This article is based on a combination of a systematic literature review of a new emerging field as well as empirical in-depth interviews, focus groups and observations. © 2016, IGI Global.Lean InnovationInternational Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development1947-840272113PublishedKK-stiftelsenjotehh2016-05-132024-12-02diva2:927889refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertarticleartArticle in journalArtikel i tidskriftArtikkel i tidsskriftarticleTellJoakim1967-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-7139-7338diva-portal.org=authority-person:33718HoveskogMaya1980-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-5849-1442diva-portal.org=authority-person:33690UlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837UlvenbladPer-Ola1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0001-6679-8981diva-portal.org=authority-person:55559BarthHenrik1971-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)orcid.org=0000-0002-0030-3402diva-portal.org=authority-person:33720StåhlJenny1973-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)diva-portal.org=authority-person:61509Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)pblBusiness model innovation in the agri-food sectora literature reviewengBingleyEmerald Group Publishing Limited20162016-04-27T09:43:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-3081110.1108/BFJ-08-2015-02930003790152000102-s2.0-85012891029textInnovationLiterature reviewBusiness modelAgri-food sectorSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessBusiness AdministrationSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivFöretagsekonomiPurposeBecause the business model is a fairly new concept, research is lacking on business model innovation in certain industry sectors. One such sector is the agri-food sector. Using a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles published from 1990 to 2014, this paper examines the where, when, and how of the use of business models and business model innovation in the agri-food sector.Design/methodology/approachA web-based search was conducted to identify peer-reviewed journal articles that contained a combination of “business model” or “business model innovation” with agriculture-related and food-related terms (e.g., “agri-food sector”). After winnowing out irrelevant and duplicate articles, 505 articles were chosen for analysis.FindingsUsing categories, the paper analyses various data about the selected articles. The categories include research settings, units of analysis, methodologies, and theories. Based on this analysis, the paper finds that these agri-food sector articles are primarily qualitative, empirical studies that focus on one or a few companies (i.e., case studies). The paper also finds that theory is not yet well developed in the research on the agri-food sector.Originality/valueSystematic literature reviews of various concepts, theories, and models are common in many fields (e.g., information/software technology, healthcare, and organizational management). However, no such review is available for the agri-food sector, in particular in its use of business models and business model innovation. This paper addresses that gap with its review of relevant articles published in more than 300 journals in recent years. Based on this review, the paper draws conclusions about business model innovation in the agri-food sector and offers suggestions for future research. © Emerald Group Publishing LimitedLean

hälsovetenskapHälsovetenskaperSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivThe aim of this chapter is to propose a model of entrepreneurs' communication strategies in the start-up process by synthesizing previous empirical research. The focus on communication strategies in the start-up process is important for several reasons. We know that many businesses fail during the first year of existence and others are liquidated during the first three years of operation. We also know that new businesses face problems when entering the market. These problems are assumed to arise partly due to the liability of newness (LoN), that is lack of a track record and legitimacy. The model of communication strategies is built upon entrepreneurs' communicative practices since strategy is seen as a social practice. The chapter also emphasizes communication strategies as being a part of the research field strategic entrepreneurship. The model focuses communicative behaviours in terms of the message and the conversation as well as the chosen strategy in terms of planned and emergent strategies. Three types of communication strategies emerge from the communication practices; (i) content-centred, (ii) behaviour-centred and (iii) adaptive-centred.

There are also needs in terms of improving and developing the entire value chain from the farm to the final consumer. Self-leadership and lean innovation is in this paper proposed to enhance the possibilities for business model innovation in the food production. The aims of the paper are two folded; Firstly, the aim is to present a framework containing self-leadership and lean innovation and how these theoretical approaches can facilitate and shape business model innovation in the agricultural sector. Secondly, the aim is to show a way of working with this problem area in order to meet these needs in the agricultural sector. A framework for business model innovation is presented as well as an interactive research design addressing the problem area in terms of action research in which learning networks is an important concept. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research challenges.

Statistical analyses are made between entrepreneurs with academic entrepreneurship education respectively previous start-up experience. Findings – The findings show that entrepreneurs with experience from entrepreneurship education report more developed communicative skills in the dimensions of openness as well as adaptation, whereas the dimension of other-orientation is found to be learned by previous start-up experience. When it comes to perceived problems related to LoN the differences between the groups were not as strong as assumed. However, the differences observed imply that also for handling LoN the authors identify a combined effect of possessing start-up experience as well as experience from entrepreneurship education. Consequently, entrepreneurs with experience from both, show in total the most elaborated skills.Practical implications – One way to improve future entrepreneurship educations is to make students more aware of the mutual profit in a business agreement and how to communicate this in a marketing situation. Another suggestion is to include starting business as a course work.Originality/value – This study not only meets the call for actual outcome from entrepreneurship educations in terms of changed behaviour but also for interdisciplinary research in the entrepreneurship field in integrating leadership research with focus on communication.International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour &

Resources can be categorized in several ways. Penrose (1959), one of the pioneers in the resource-based view, and the subsequent work of, for example, Wernerfelt (1984) and Barney (1991), have brought the individual, the entrepreneur and especially resources within the business into focus. The process school of the resource-based view focuses on processes and activities and internal strategic capabilities (Tucker, Meyer, & Westerman, 1996). Furthermore, capabilities are based on developing, carrying and exchanging information through the business's human capital (Tucker et al., 1996). Grant (1991, p. 122) defined such capabilities as ‘complex patterns of coordination and cooperation between people, and between people and (tangible) resources’. Baum, Locke, and Smith (2001) and Lee, Lee, and Pennings (2001) found that new businesses’ internal capabilities are the primary determinants of the businesses’ performance. One of the intangible resources could be a business reputation (Deephouse, 2000). A positive reputation creates advantages in order to obtain, for example, financial capital. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.New Technology-Based Firms in the New Millennium.

Such initiatives are following a gender blind norm, in the way they define their fields of action, and also in how they are presented, for example regarding language and psychological accessibility. Research shows that women don‟t feel themselves addressed by these initiatives or that it concerns their companies.We think that a deeper understanding about why women are not reached, or attracted, by official measures taken to support business growth, can guide us in developing new models, methods and tools to stimulate and facilitate a climate for growth of women‟s entrepreneurship and long-term improve the conditions for women to create, run and develop their enterprises. We exemplify this through cases from three national R&D programmes financed by VINNOVA (The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) and KK-Stiftelsen (the Swedish Knowledge Foundation), both governmental authorities and research funders that aims to promote growth and prosperity throughout Sweden.In the paper we discuss official efforts aimed to support business development and growth. In what way are they gender marked? What structures are active on different levels? What is the consistence between ambitions from the program managers and how presentation of the programs is received by the target groups? Who are reached and who participates? </titleInfo><note type="statement of responsibility">Gun Hedlund, Martin Wottle & Eva Blomberg</note></relatedItem><name type="conference"><namePart>Gender, Work and Organization, 6th international interdisciplinary conference, Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Growth: Gender perspectives, 21-23rd June 2010, Keele University, Staffordshire, UK</namePart></name><location><url displayLabel="fulltext:print" note="free" access="raw object">https://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:392877/FULLTEXT01.pdf</url></location><recordInfo><recordOrigin>pima</recordOrigin><recordContentSource>hh</recordContentSource><recordCreationDate>2011-01-28</recordCreationDate><recordChangeDate>2020-03-20</recordChangeDate><recordIdentifier>diva2:392877</recordIdentifier></recordInfo></mods><mods xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="3.7" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3 http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-7.xsd"><genre authority="diva" type="contentTypeCode">science</genre><genre authority="svep" type="contentType">vet</genre><genre authority="diva" type="contentType" lang="eng">Other academic</genre><genre authority="diva" type="contentType" lang="swe">Övrigt vetenskapligt</genre><genre authority="diva" type="contentType" lang="nor">Annet vitenskapelig</genre><genre authority="diva" type="publicationTypeCode">conferencePaper</genre><genre authority="svep" type="publicationType">kon</genre><genre authority="diva" type="publicationType" lang="eng">Conference paper</genre><genre authority="diva" type="publicationType" lang="swe">Konferensbidrag</genre><genre authority="diva" type="publicationType" lang="nor">Konferansepaper</genre><genre authority="kev" type="publicationType" lang="eng">proceeding</genre><genre authority="diva" type="publicationSubTypeCode">publishedPaper</genre><name type="personal" authority="hh" xlink:href="pima"><namePart type="family">Ulvenblad</namePart><namePart type="given">Pia</namePart><role><roleTerm type="code" authority="marcrelator">aut</roleTerm></role><affiliation>Högskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)</affiliation><description>orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216</description><description>diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837</description></name><name type="personal" authority="hh" xlink:href="mb"><namePart type="family">Blomkvist</namePart><namePart type="given">Marita</namePart><role><roleTerm type="code" authority="marcrelator">aut</roleTerm></role><affiliation>Högskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)</affiliation><description>diva-portal.org=authority-person:61423</description></name><name type="personal" authority="hh" xlink:href="jw"><namePart type="family">Winborg</namePart><namePart type="given">Joakim</namePart><role><roleTerm type="code" authority="marcrelator">aut</roleTerm></role><affiliation>Högskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)</affiliation><description>diva-portal.org=authority-person:55968</description></name><name type="corporate" authority="hh" xlink:href="3917"><namePart>Högskolan i Halmstad</namePart><namePart>Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet</namePart><namePart>Centrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)</namePart><namePart>Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)</namePart><role><roleTerm type="code" authority="marcrelator">pbl</roleTerm></role></name><titleInfo lang="eng"><title>Academic entrepreneurship - The structure of incubator management and best practice reported on Swedish business incubators’ web siteseng20102010-06-16T20:10:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4822textIncubator managementbest practicewebsitesSwedeninternetworld wide webbusiness incubatorsmanagement structuresmanagement selectionmanagement supportnetwork mediationmale representationgenderboard membersbusiness coachesbusiness advisorshigher educationuniversitiesbusiness supportsmall and medium-sized enterprisesSMEsentrepreneursacademic entrepreneurshipNatural SciencesComputer and Information SciencesOther Computer and Information ScienceNaturvetenskapData- och informationsvetenskapAnnan data- och informationsvetenskapSOCIAL SCIENCESSAMHÄLLSVETENSKAPThe aim of this paper is to describe the extent and content of information regarding incubator management structure, selection, support and network mediation on Swedish incubators websites and analyse connections between different incubator management structure and the content of incubator best practice.

This way of creating systems for entrepreneurship development has also recently been focused in Sweden. As a result of Swedish Government's ambition to stimulate growth economy, university entrepreneurship education program spring up all over the country in order to promote students' entrepreneurship.From previous research we know that the infrastructure has an impact for entrepreneurship (Delatte & Baytos, 1993; Hannon, 2003; Rosa & Dawson, 2006, Xu, 2010). The structure relates to the number of individuals in the management structure and the role the individual has in the management structure such as member of the board or manager. It also refers to characteristics of the individuals involved in the management such as diversity, gender, age, education competence and previous experience (Rosa & Dawson, 2006). Further, it has been shown that managers are important since a lack of role models have been shown to have an impact for both female entrepreneurs and female managers in decisions of starting and/or managing a business (Crampton & Mishra, 1999; Mattis, 2004). However, public and private initiatives aimed to support business development usually are following a gender blind norm both in the way it is presented, for example regarding language and psychological accessibility, and considering the fields pointed out. Research shows that women don't feel themselves addressed by these initiatives or that it concerns them (NUTEK, 2001; NUTEK, R 2007:34).Swedish Government recently challenged to higher education institutions to apply for finance to a development towards world- class standard in educational programmes in entrepreneurship and innovation (Prop. 2008/2009:1/16). The invitation was directed to higher education institutions that already run advanced studies in entrepreneurship and innovation and that also have a strong connection to research in the same area. Swedish National Agency for Higher Education was commissioned by the Government to examine the applications and invited a panel of international academic experts to asses the applications. Eleven applications were submitted from higher education institutions in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation. Four of the eleven institutions which applied where recommended by the panel of experts and these institutions were further ranked and recommended by Swedish National Agency for Higher Education to the University Chancellor. Two of these institutions were finally selected to be financed by the Swedish Government.This paper focuses on these eleven applications and the review process. The aim of the paper is to analyze and illustrate in what way the applications as well as the review process is gendered for example in terms of discourse and symbols in relation to educational setting, organizational structure, infrastructure, education management, education team assigned and branches of industry (Acker, 1992; Bruni, Gherardi & Poggio, 2005; Gunnarsson, Westberg, Andersson & Balkmar, 2007). We expect to find how gender is mirrored in these highly ranked applications and what impact the presence or absence of a gender focus will have for entrepreneurship and innovation education.Abstract ID: P-047VIII Triple Helix International Conference on University, Industry and Government LinkagesBook of abstracts3535Marcelo Amaral, Ilana Sender, Manuel Cendoya, Rafael ZaballaThe Triple Helix VIII International Conference on University, Industry and Government Linkages, 20-22 October, Madrid, Spainhttps://hh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:392879/SUMMARY01.pdfpimahh2011-01-282022-09-13diva2:392879refereedrefRefereedRefereegranskatFagfellevurdertconferencePaperkonConference paperKonferensbidragKonferansepaperproceedingpublishedPaperBlomkvistMarita1959-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)diva-portal.org=authority-person:61423UlvenbladPiaautHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837HanssonAgnetaautHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)diva-portal.org=authority-person:59887Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)pblIs there a structural “glass ceiling” hindering women on the business incubator arena? – A study of Swedish business incubators web siteseng20102010-09-21T15:38:00https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-5877textentrepreneurshipgenderincubatorweb pagesMedical and Health SciencesHealth SciencesMedicin och hälsovetenskapHälsovetenskaperSocial SciencesEducational SciencesSamhällsvetenskapUtbildningsvetenskapThis paper seeks to explore if there is an indication of a structural “glass ceiling” hindering women within business support environments. By analyzing 44 Swedish incubators’ web sites from four different perspectives, the study wants to describe and discuss the particular way gender seem to be structured in incubators’ organisations. The results reveal that there is a male dominance in the incubators’ organisations. The criteria for becoming an entrepreneur in the incubator such as characteristics are subtle. It can be assumed that hidden gender structures can prevent female entrepreneurs from entering the incubator.The DIANA 2010 International Research Conference, 3-4 August, Banff, Canadambhh2010-09-212022-09-13diva2:352584sciencevetOther academicÖvrigt vetenskapligtAnnet vitenskapeligmonographDoctoralThesisdokDoctoral thesis, monographDoktorsavhandling, monografiDoktoravhandling, monografidissertationUlvenbladPia1961-autHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837Lindholm-DahlstrandÅsaProfessorthsHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)BengtssonLarsProfessorthsLunds UniversitetJohanssonAnders WProfessoropnVäxjö UniversitetHögskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)pblGrowth intentions and communicative practicesStrategic entrepreneurship in business developmentengLundLund Business Press20092009-06-05T13:15:002010-06-22T12:23:0031391-85113-35-2978-91-85113-35-4https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4813textLund Studies in Economics and Management0284-5075109Strategic entrepreneurshipcommunicationgrowth intentionSocial SciencesEconomics and BusinessBusiness AdministrationSamhällsvetenskapEkonomi och näringslivFöretagsekonomiSOCIAL SCIENCESBusiness and economicsBusiness studiesSAMHÄLLSVETENSKAPEkonomiFöretagsekonomiThis thesis focuses on the “will and skill” of individuals who take part in activities of running a business. The aspect of “will” is studied in terms of growth intentions and the aspect of “skill” is studied in terms of communicative practices. The overall purpose is to explore how entrepreneurs think and talk about growth and how they act in their communicative practices to express their growth intentions and to mobilize resources for their businesses. To meet the overall purpose four empirical studies have been conducted. The empirical data consist of interviews and observations “shadowing” entrepreneurs, as well as mail questionnaires to Swedish entrepreneurs. Perspective Text Analysis (PTA) has been used to analyse growth intentions, and reveals growth in both a pragmatic sense and an institutionalized sense. Pragmatic growth refers to talk about growth in terms of space for development, space for money and status, and/or space for security and control. Institutionalized growth refers to talk about growth in terms of a winning scenario or a threatening scenario. The analysis regarding communicative practices resulted in six categories of communicative behaviour in the business start-up: (i) from no one to someone, (ii) from small to big, (iii) from inexperienced to experienced, (iv) from one role to another role, (v) from alone to a network member, and (vi) from silence to conversation. Further, the entrepreneurs show other-orientation, openness and adaptation in their communicative behaviour. In addition, entrepreneurs with previous experience from entrepreneurship education report higher willingness in the dimension of openness and adaptation in communication. The communicative practices are merged into a model of content-centred, behaviour-centred and adaptive-centred communication strategies. Entrepreneurs’ “will and skill” with focus on communication strategies are proposed to be an important part of strategic entrepreneurship.Tillväxtintentioner och kommunikativ praktik Strategiskt entreprenörskap vid företagsutveckling Denna avhandling fokuserar på entreprenörers “will and skill”, d.v.s. viljan och den kunskap och färdighet som entreprenören har vid start och utveckling av ett företag. Med vilja avses entreprenörens tillväxtintention och med kunskap och färdighet avses kommunikationen mellan entreprenören och olika intressenter. Studiens övergripande syfte är att undersöka hur entreprenörer tänker och talar om tillväxt samt hur de agerar i den kommunikativa praktiken för att uttrycka sina tillväxtintentioner med syfte att anskaffa resurser till sina företag. För att uppfylla syftet har fyra empiriska studier genomförts. Det empiriska materialet består av intervjuer med, observationer (skuggning) av och enkäter till svenska entreprenörer. Perspektivisk Textanalys (PTA) har använts för att analysera tillväxtintentionerna. Den institutionaliserade tillväxtkaraktären tar sig uttryck i dels en vinnarbild, dels en hotbild. Pragmatisk tillväxt identifieras som entreprenörens skapande av utrymme. Det handlar om utrymme för idéförverkligande, pengar & status och/eller för säkerhet & kontroll. Analysen av den kommunikativa praktiken resulterade i sex kategorier av kommunikativt beteende i företagsstarten: (i) från ingen till någon, (ii) från liten till stor, (iii) från oerfaren till erfaren, (iv) från en roll till en annan roll, (v) från ensam till nätverksmedlem samt (vi) från tystnad till konversation. Entreprenörerna påvisar fokus på andras behov, öppenhet och anpassning i sin kommunikation med olika intressenter. De entreprenörer som har tidigare erfarenhet från entreprenörskapsutbildning uttrycker i större utsträckning öppenhet och anpassning i sin kommunikation. De empiriska exemplen på kommunikativt beteende har resulterat i en modell över entreprenörers kommunikationsstrategier med innehållscentrerad, beteendecentrerad och anpassningscentrerad kommunikationsstrategi. Entreprenörers ”will and skill”, vilja och färdighet, med fokus på kommunikationsstrategier i starten av ett företag, är en central del inom ramen för strategiskt entreprenörskap.Diss. , 2009sweEC3:210, Holger Crafoords Ekonomicentrum, Lundpimahh2010-06-162020-03-20diva2:324961sciencevetOther academicÖvrigt vetenskapligtAnnet vitenskapeligbookbokBookBokBokbookMattssonPiaautHögskolan i Halmstad, Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)orcid.org=0000-0002-9584-3216diva-portal.org=authority-person:61837ÖrtenbladAndersautdiva-portal.org=authority-person:61626Högskolan i HalmstadAkademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetCentrum för innovations-, entreprenörskaps- och lärandeforskning (CIEL)Knowledge Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Research (KEEN)pblSmått och gott om vetenskapliga rapporter och referenstekniksweLundStudentlitteratur20082010-06-16T19:51:0096978-91-44-05355-4https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-4816textRapportskrivningUppsatsskrivningSocial SciencesEducational SciencesSamhällsvetenskapUtbildningsvetenskapSocial SciencesLawSamhällsvetenskapJuridikSOCIAL SCIENCESSAMHÄLLSVETENSKAPDenna lilla bok ger en konkret, kortfattad och lättillgänglig introduktion till rapportskrivning och uppsatsarbete.

The aim of this paper is to capture entrepreneurs´ communicative skills using a framework of leadership theories focused on the dimensions (i) other-orientation, (ii) openness and (iii)adaptation. The data is collected through structural observations “shadowing” five entrepreneurs in Sweden. The findings show that the entrepreneurs are both oriented toward others and open to input from them. They often adapt to the situation and act in accordance with the co-actor’s interest. However, they also withhold their standpoint when they find it necessary. The entrepreneurs with highgrowth orientation were those that showed the most frequent other-oriented and opened behaviour during the observations. They were also adaptive in their communication with different counterparts. © Copyright 2008 Taylor & Francis LLC.Small Enterprise Research The Journal of SEAANZ1321-5906161215Publishedpimahh2009-12-112023-08-14diva2:280699
