To increase their computational efficiency, time-stepping methods for the solution of ODEs and DAEs are usually adaptive. A control system for the adaptivity includes the automatic control of step size as well as method order, and can be constructed using proven design principles from control theory. It is a ''superstructure,'' surrounding the basic method, that manages the computational process.
This study is motivated by two research questions: (1) How is an organizational control system established and maintained in product and process innovation? (2) How are innovation processes facilitated or hindered as a result of the interplay between forms of control and autonomy? The thesis investigates these questions by means of an in-depth longitudinal case study involving 15 innovation projec
Sustainable lifestyles and consumption refer to multiple spheres of human activities such as mobility, housing, food and leisure. Increasingly consumers are called upon to assume greater responsibility for changing their lifestyles, primarily through making environmentally sound purchasing choices and changing behavior. To motivate consumers, governments have often focused on improving the provisi
The European preoccupation with a unified market, and indirectly with territorial restrictions, remains problematic. The first sentence of the Commission Green Paper of 22 January 1997 on Vertical Restraints in EC Competition Policy reads: “The creation of a Single Market is one of the main objectives of the European Union.” This axiom is then repeated again and again. Everything can be discussed
The Swedish society that we wish to discuss reaches its hig-hest degree of originality in the decades of 1930 to 1960. At the time Sweden stood out in its international context as an ultra-modern society, distinguishing itself from its Scandinavian surroundings as well. It is the Sweden that David Jenkins calls “The Progress Machine” and that Enrico Altavilla refers to as “Hell and Paradise” . Wi
