Kunskapsöverföring är en central fråga för organisationens konkurrenskraft, men är långtifrån så enkel och självklar som man skulle kunna tro. Knowledge management är det begrepp och den teori som flest refererar till i diskussionen kring hur man bäst kan hantera och styra kunskap inom en organisation. Ett vanligt mantra inom knowledge management är att det är viktigt att säkra kunskapen så att de

The aim of this paper is to develop our understanding of how knowledge is shared within a professional service firm. Insights from a 1-year ethnographic study suggest that it is important to go beyond the ‘theoretical limitations’ of knowledge management in order to understand how to manage knowledge within a firm. From the analysis of how knowledge is shared in practice, three logics emerge that
Vi skulle alla tjäna på mer samverkan och mindre motverkan. Särskilt i ett litet land som Sverige. För att möta de globala samhällsutmaningar vi står inför har behovet av integrerad forskning förts fram i den forskningspolitiska debatten. För hållbar utveckling behöver forskningen bättre och i ett tidigare skede inkludera samhället i arbetet med hur vi ska möta dessa utmaningar. Men för att verkli
Public Procurement for Innovation (PPI) is a powerful, underutilized demand-side innovation policy instrument that can be used to stimulate innovation, meet sectoral policy goals and mitigate grand challenges. Further research is required to analyze how PPI contributes to these goals and how it operates in practice; more case studies are needed to achieve this. We analyze a case of direct developm
1983 års nobelpristagare i kemi, Henry Taube, professor vid Stanford University i USA, har gjort banbrytande insatser för att klarlägga oorganiska föreningars dynamik i lösning. Han får priset för sina arbeten rörande mekanismer för elektronöverföringsreaktioner, särskilt hos metallkomplex. Hans arbeten har väsentligt bidragit till utvecklingen av den moderna oorganiska kemin. De har stor betydels
We investigate the adaption of the recently developed exponential integrators called EPIRK in the so-called domain-based implicit-explicit (IMEX) setting of spatially discretized PDE's. The EPIRK schemes were shown to be efficient for sufficiently stiff problems and offer high precision and good stability properties like A- and L-stability in theory. In practice, however, we can show that these st
We compare terminology used in the literature on multigrid methods for compressible computational fluid dynamics to that used in linear multigrid theory. Several popular iterative and direct smoothers are presented side-by-side using the same terminology. We argue for greater analysis of these methods in order to place them into a more rigorous framework and to identify the most promising candidat
We analyze the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann iteration for the fully discretized unsteady transmission problem. Specifically, we consider the coupling of two linear heat equations on two identical non overlapping domains with jumps in the material coefficients across these. In this context, we derive the iteration matrix of the coupled problem. In the 1D case, the spectral radius of th
Water exchange of square-planar Pd(H2O)42+ has been studied as a function of temperature (240 to 345 K) and pressure (0.1 to 260 MPa, at 324 K) by measuring the 17/O-FT-NMR line-widths of the resonance from coordinated water at 27.11 and 48.78 MHz. The following exchange parameters were obtained: k298ex = (560 ± 40) s−1, ΔH* = (49.5 ± 1.9) kJ mol−1, ΔS* = – (26 ± 6) J K−1 mol−1 and ΔV* = – (2.2 ± Water exchange of square-planar Pd(H2O)42+ has been studied as a function of temperature (240 to 345 K) and pressure (0.1 to 260 MPa, at 324 K) by measuring the 17/O-FT-NMR line-widths of the resonance from coordinated water at 27.11 and 48.78 MHz.
