KIMAP Research Seminarを開催します

• 開催時間：13:20～14:50
• 要旨：
  This seminar will introduce and discuss contemporary challenges and tendencies among manufacturing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. On the basis of two ongoing research projects in Denmark, the seminar will present servitization (product-oriented companies expanding their offerings with product-enabled services) and organizational resilience (the ability of companies to resist and even benefit from externally imposed changes) as trends within the research on manufacturing SMEs. The seminar will discuss both papers already published within servitization and organization resilience – and seek to identify potential avenues for future research within the research fields.

【Responsible Innovation】

• 開催時間：15:10～16:40
• 要旨：
  The seminar will present and discuss the phenomenon of Responsible Innovation as a theoretical and empirical field. The point of departure is an extensive study of Danish manufacturing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises that are working with responsible/sustainable innovation as part of their strategy. The seminar will outline some of the conceptual frameworks, which describe both the enablers and barriers of responsible innovation. And the data from the Danish research project will seek to partly depict a critical perspective on the prior frameworks and partly present a potentially useable and useful theoretical scaffolding for future studies within the field.
