  • polluting emissions standards and clean Technology trajectories under competitive selection and supply chain pressure
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2008
    Co-Authors: Maider Saint Jean
    Abstract:

    Abstract Based on an evolutionary model of industrial dynamics, this paper examines the impact of polluting emissions standards on trajectories of clean technologies implemented by firms subject to competitive selection and supply chain pressure. The paper gives guidance to the conditions of dynamic efficiency of emissions standards taking into account the coevolution of Technology, User requirements and market structure. Computer simulations will show that the efficiency of standards depends on the nature of performance standards (process or product), on the market structure and on the timing of intervention.

  • polluting emissions standards and clean Technology trajectories under competitive selection and supply chain pressure
    Research Papers in Economics, 2005
    Co-Authors: Maider Saint Jean
    Abstract:

    Based on a model of industrial dynamics, this paper examines the impact of polluting emissions standards on trajectories of clean technologies implemented by firms subject to competitive selection and supply chain pressure. The model incorporates a few stylised facts on the relationships between environmental regulation, innovation and diffusion. The main objective is to highlight the forces influencing the long term dynamics of an industry faced with evolving emissions standards in a ‘history-friendly’ way. The paper gives guidance to the conditions of dynamic efficiency of emissions standards taking into account the coevolution of Technology, User requirements and market structure. We show that emission standards not only play a significant role in orienting research and innovation activities of supplier firms, but they are also likely to support the diffusion of environmental innovation in the supply chain. In some cases, emission standards lead to prevent both a situation of lock-in on the supply side and a situation of behavioural inertia on the User side. Standards may thus lead to preserve a certain form of technological and behavioural diversity. Based on the computer simulations, it will be shown that the efficiency of standards depends on the nature of performance standards (process or product), on the market structure and on the timing of intervention.

  • understanding mobile commerce end User adoption a triangulation perspective and suggestions for an exploratory service evaluation framework
    Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2002
    Co-Authors: Per E Pedersen, Leif B Methlie, Helge Thorbjornsen
    Abstract:

    In the literature on mobile commerce service adoption, aggregate diffusion issues or Technology issues are usually the focus. However; a comparison of the slow adoption of WAP services in Europe with the successful adoption of comparable I-mode services in Japan and technologically simple SMS-based services in Scandinavia, suggests that aggregate and Technology-based models are insufficient to explain the mobile commerce adoption process. We suggest that alternative explanations may be found in both the business models at the supply side and in the individual end-Users behavior at the demand side of the mobile commerce value chain. We focus on this demand side issue, and consider the adoption requirements of mobile commerce end-Users. A triangulation of three perspectives on the mobile commerce end-User is suggested to understand and explain the end-User adoption process. The three perspectives view the end-User as a Technology User, a consumer and a network member, respectively. The three perspectives are combined in a common framework. With each perspective follows relevant theories, models and methodologies. We also suggest applying the framework to design evaluation guidelines that can be used by service providers, operators and terminal producers to evaluate and predict end-User adoption of mobile commerce services in 3G and later mobile technologies.

  • ambivalence designing Users and User imaginaries in the european smart grid insights from an interdisciplinary demonstration project
    Energy research and social science, 2015
    Co-Authors: Tomas Moe Skjolsvold, Carmel Lindkvist
    Abstract:

    Abstract The gradual implementation of smart grid solutions is accompanied by an increased concern amongst researchers and policymakers for the role of Users in such systems. For smart grids to perform as expected, the role of Users in electricity systems must change. One approach to Technology-User relationships proposes that the chance of success increases through involving Users in the design and development of technologies. This article reports on a research project that set out to involve what was perceived as active and competent Users in the design of feedback technologies. We explore how Users were imagined in the project, and how the idea of active User participation was shadowed by an ambivalent and paradoxical view of Users as knowledge deficient and incompetent. The case illustrates how the boundaries between involving Users and by-passing Users becomes blurred. Through this, we contribute to the knowledge on how User imaginaries and future expectations influence research and innovation processes, illustrating how traditional models of knowledge deficiency can lead to minimal User engagement.
