1 Annual Report 2010 Innovation and Product Realization

2 2 Innovation and Product Realization Innovation and Product Realization Mats Jackson is leader of IPR and professor of Innovative Production Phone: Innovation and Product Realization, IPR, is one of the six prioritized research and education areas at Mälardalen University. IPR takes a multidisciplinary approach towards the field of effective and innovative product realization. The goal is to provide support to industry to realize more ideas, and to improve the development of new products and systems. The research area Innovation and Product Realization builds bridges between disciplines as engineering, innovation, information design and industrial design. The idea is that the different disciplines and work practices can merge to create better products, processes and services and what it requires from participating actors concerning flexibility, openness, communication skills and changes in mindsets. The research is conducted in close cooperation with industry and organizations and is of high relevance to the academy as well as to the surrounding society. We cooperate with other universities, institutes and companies in other parts of Sweden but also in the UK, Italy, US and India. Our post graduate school within Innovation and Design offers a post graduate education which combines personal development with academic stringency. We also take pride in designing a stimulating physical milieu with labs and studios. Research groups Design and Visualization Innovation Management Product Realization

3 Innovation and Product Realization 3 Research groups Design and Visualization Leader: Professor Yvonne Eriksson, [email protected], We use design and interpretation processes to investigate and challenge thoughts and principles for production and organization systems, aiming at optimal problem solving. The area includes research about idea, concept and product development with reference to processes in design and design processes. Today s design research aims at development of products, processes, services; and of milieus, interfaces and other informative interpretation supporting creativity and innovation. Members: Åsa Öberg, Anette Strömberg, Thorbjörn Swenberg, Jennie Andersson Schaeffer, Carina Andersson, Inger Orre, Anders Wikström, Ulrika Florin, Anna-Lena Carlsson, Yvonne Eriksson, Per Erik Eriksson, Anette Strömberg. IPR s innovation management research considers innovation to be continuous non-linear development in circular processes of interaction between different actors. We use a complex system perspective where innovation management is more about influence and form prerequisites for emergence of innovation, and less about plan and control of a linear process. Leadership, participation, communication, dualities and emergence are some central concepts in the research where we focus on the patterns behind realization of innovations. Members: Åsa Öberg, Anette Strömberg, Tomas Backström, Anders Wikström, Carina Sjödin, Karin Berglund, Bengt Köping Olsson, Magnus Hoppe, Petra Edoff, Mikael Johnsson, Helena Karlsson, Nina Bozic, Susanna Göransson, Åsa Öberg, Anders Wikström. Product Realization Leader: Associate Professor Magnus Wiktorsson, [email protected], Innovation Management Leader: Professor Tomas Backström, [email protected], Innovation Management is about managing and organising for realization of new products, services, business models, techniques and production systems. The research deals with: actors ability to innovate, creativity, conditions influencing innovation processes, and actors utilization of external sources in innovation. Actors in the form of entrepreneurs and innovators are driving innovation and creating value in a market, in an organization or in society at large. Technological, organizational and social innovation combines as well as commercial, social and societal entrepreneurship. Research of innovation may study how all these com ponents, with internal and external actors, interact and together form innovation systems. Product Realization is the work that an organization goes through to develop, manufacture, and deliver goods or services. Product realization includes customerrelated processes, design and development, purchasing, production and service provision, and control of monitoring and measuring processes. Research on product realization concerns the design, operations and improvement of these product realization processes. IPR s research aims at creating new knowledge, understanding, and support for designing product realization processes by creative elemental and applied research. By examples and guidelines we provide management support to manage crucial processes and aspects of product realization. We show success factors, system requirements, enabling system and business solutions, management systems, and performance measures required for sustainable product realization.

Further, Karin is involved in the research project Green Production Systems and works closely with the industrial partners in the project. Romvall, Karin Rösiö, Carin Carin Rösiös research is about creating opportunity for long-term planning in the design of production systems. Just as the products described in the product portfolios of production systems should be described in the production system portfolios. New opportunities were opened up by having a life cycle perspective on the production system and production system is built up of modules that can easily be added, removed and changed to adjust to a new product. To have a modularized system, and to think in generations systems and production systems portfolios would allow reuse of solutions and be a way to prepare for changes based on new product opportunities. To enable this requires a structured description of the way a production system. This means that the system s building blocks, its features and its relation to each other must be made clear in an orderly manner.
