Title: Knowledge acquisition for a new business model creation and enabling factors Date of the seminar: 28-05-2015 Course: Master Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and Degree Project (Master Thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Dovilė Gedvilaitė and Shubhabrata Paul Supervisor: Dr. Joakim Winborg Keywords: business model innovation, change, creation, knowledge, knowledge acquisition
During the beginning of the 1990’s the world witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequently the end of the Cold War. This gigantic change within the international system had large ramifications on how states interacted with each other. Within this context, Sweden had a unique position due to its identity of non-alignment combined with an interest for participation in international pea
Loans play an important part in how individuals fulfill their goals in the Swedish society. It makes it possible for people to buy a house or get an education, things that might have been impossible without the possibility of taking a loan. A loan also comes with obligations and restrictions on the loan takers life, paying off a loan can take a lifetime and it requires that the loan taker become s

Purpose: We will understand and explain Dell’s value gap through an extended intellectual capital theory. This will be done by deriving the value to the different parts of the intellectual capital value scheme. We will also use value scheme to describe the ongoing strategy shift. Methodology: The qualitative method and an abductive reasoning have been employed during the progress. The interview me
As more offshore wind parks are commissioned, the focus will inevitably shift from a planning, construction, and warranty focus to an operation, maintenance, and investment payback focus. In this latter case, both short-term risks associated with wind turbine component assemblies, and long-term risks related to integrity of the support structure, are highly important. This research focuses on the
A survey was performed over all university libraries within the Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) in order to study how different methods of user input are utilized. Libraries using analysis based on explorative methods - such as UX and process mapping - report significantly increased user knowledge and perceived well-function. Over 3/4 of the respondents reported performing generA survey was performed over all university libraries within the Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) in order to study how different methods of user input are utilized.

Neural stem and progenitor cells from the embryonic forebrain can be expanded under growth factor stimulation in vitro, either as free-floating aggregates called neurospheres or as attached monolayer cultures. We have previously shown that despite the maintenance of important regulatory genes such as Gsh2, in vitro expansion of cells from the lateral ganglion eminence (LGE) restricts their differe
Inflammation influences several steps of adult neurogenesis, but whether it regulates the functional integration of the new neurons is unknown. Here, we explored, using confocal microscopy and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, whether a chronic inflammatory environment affects the morphological and electrophysiological properties of new dentate gyrus granule cells, labeled with a retroviral vecto
Cerebral ischemia that develops after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) carries high morbidity and mortality. Inflammatory mediators are involved in the development of cerebral ischemia through activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. We hypothesized that blockade of the MAPkinase/ERK (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway upstream with a specific raf inhibitor wo
The pig is becoming an increasingly used non-primate model in experimental studies of human retinal diseases and disorders. The anatomy, size, and vasculature of the porcine eye and retina closely resemble the human counterparts, which allows for application of standard instrumentation and diagnostics used in the clinic. Despite the many reports demonstrating immunohistochemistry as a useful metho
OBJECTIVES: To assess perineal anatomy using ultrasound before and immediately after delivery. METHODS: Structures in the perineum were studied by real-time two-dimensional transvaginal and endoanal ultrasound imaging using a combined linear and semicircular (up to 200 degrees sector) probe. We examined 45 nulliparous pregnant women and 44 primiparae immediately after delivery (40 with anal sphinc
The predicament in which we find ourselves today is that many professionals lack a sufficient grounding in formal methods, tools and techniques to enable them to make an appropriate selection for different kinds of problem. This can mean that complexity remains unrecognized and ambiguous problem situations are addressed as if they were clear and straightforward, resulting in inadequate solutions t
This paper focuses on learning and reflection in evaluation processes. The needs and focus of evaluation change over the life of an Information System (IS) project. Evaluation does not necessarily always equal analysis, however, a meaningful evaluation can only be done if combined with analysis of the context. Evaluation processes must include some learning element to be contextually relevant. To
Since the Dawn of Man the metallic iron has been a giant issue for the daily life of humans by using for developments and generality prosper. This "hot" metal is still the most wanted and needed metal for all mankind. Sandvik Mining and Construction has for the last ten years increased our knowledge for the development for crushers, crushing and crusher automation and we have created new frontiers
The present study examined the agreement between single and multiple sample plasma clearance of iohexol, a non-ionic contrast agent, in renal failure. Sixty-five patients with varying degree of renal insufficiency received 10 ml iohexol (300 mg I/ml) i.v. and plasma samples were collected four times during the following 3-24 h. Plasma-iodine concentrations were determined by X-ray fluorescence. Pr
Since the 19th century, urban lawns have gradually taken center stage to become one of the main sources of greening in many cities around the world. The current published research on planting technology, maintenance techniques, the impact of lawn maintenance, preferences for manicured lawns and the biodiversity protection for historical lawns as topics, has developed and increased over time.

Retinal image motion could be due to movement of the observer through space or an object relative to the scene. Optic flow, form, and change of position cues all provide information that could be used to separate out retinal motion due to object movement from retinal motion due to observer movement. In Experiment 1 we used a minimal display to examine the contribution of optic flow and form cues.
IS strategic alignment remains a research phenomenon of key interest, specifically regarding the dimensions of social IS alignment (i.e., shared IS understanding among key organizational members) and intellectual IS alignment (i.e., IS/business strategy congruence). The examination of IS alignment has been predominantly limited to the examination of top ranks within the organization; however, we c
