Abstract

I forskningsprojektet ”Kommer efterfrågan med Svanen?” har HUI Research studerat om och hur märkningar av ekologiska produkter påverkar efterfrågan på de märkta produkt­erna, konsumenters värdering av hälsorelaterade livsmedelsmärkningar samt om konsumenterna i livsmedelsbutiken är nöjda med sina val.

Rapporten består alltså av tre delstudier, där den första studerar hur hyllmärkningar av ekologiska produkter påverkar efterfrågan på de märkta produkterna. Studien baseras på försäljningsdata från en ICA­Maxi butik belägen i Hemlingby köpcentrum i Gävle. Butiken har under den studerade tidsperioden introducerat hyllskyltningar för alla ekolo­giska produkter i butiken. Introduktionen av hyllskyltningen för de ekologiska varorna var exogent given för konsumenten eftersom den inte var känd för konsumenterna före dess införande, vilket gör att vi kan behandla detta som ett naturligt fältexperiment.

Abstract

Most previous studies on the employment effects of government R&D grants targeting SMEs are characterized by data-, measurement-, and selection problems, making it difficult to construct a relevant control group of firms that did not receive an R&D grant. We investigate the effects on employment and firm-level demand for high human capital workers of two Swedish programs targeted toward growth-oriented SMEs using Coarsened Exact Matching. Our most striking result is the absence of any statistically significant effects. We find no robust evidence that the targeted R&D grant programs had any positive and statistically significant effects on the number of employees recruited into these SMEs, or that the grants are associated with an increase in the demand for high human capital workers. The lack of statistically significant findings is troublesome considering that government support programs require a positive impact to cover the administrative costs associated with these programs.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of wholesale firms as facilitators of exports for small and medium-sized Swedish businesses. Our findings suggest that wholesale firms do facilitate access to difficult markets located outside Europe. For exports of a particular good to a given market, we observe a positive correlation between the export volumes of wholesale and manufacturing firms. Finally, we present evidence that supports a prediction from recent trade models with differentiated firms, namely that wholesale firms can facilitate exports for firms that are not themselves capable of direct exports.

The openness of open innovation in ecosystems

Abstract

Open innovation has rendered increased interest both in practice and research, and has expanded from dyadic transfers of ideas, to ecosystem levels. Knowledge is at the heart of open innovation, and this paper describes and discusses knowledge-transfer linkages for open innovation. It does so based on a literature review. The paper links together open innovation research with general management research to categorise and discuss linkages among parties in terms of their openness and how they relate to knowledge management. Conclusions indicate that openness needs to be considered in different dimensions that also links to different knowledge management outcomes. The paper’s contribution consists of how it connects open innovation research to the general management literature, and how it builds a practical understanding of how linkages between firms can be categorised to aid firms to consider which mechanisms they may choose and why.
