Management Control for Innovation : A multiple case study on networking in innovative companies (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Historically, innovation has been an important factor in sustaining

competitive in a constantly changing and dynamic market. Innovation comes about in

different ways each time, but commonly so, innovation springs from different kinds of

network. Control towards the promotion of networking should possibly be an approach

where network and cooperations, indirectly, could foster innovation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to new knowledge on how

management control in innovative businesses can promote networking, within and

outside of an organization and how networking can foster innovation.

Method: The study is a multiple case study, based mainly on semi-structured interviews

conducted with three different innovative companies. The study analyses how

management control can promote networking from four Objects of Control’s point of

view and how networking can contribute to innovation.

Conclusion: This study concludes that management control that allows for some

freedom of actions within certain boundaries, in combination with ambitious goals, in an

open and transparent culture, could contribute to networking and collaborations within

and outside of an organization. The control system should be built to make it possible

for leaders to initiate projects in order to create room for different entities to meet and

communicate. Employees should further on be involved in decision making processes to

gain commitment in wanting to reach set goals and to initiate a networking culture, where

solutions can arise and be communicated.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund och problem: Historiskt har det varit viktigt att vara innovativ f.r att lyckas

vara konkurrenskraftig p. en st.ndigt f.r.nderlig marknad. Innovation har en tendens att

uppkomma p. olika s.tt fr.n g.ng till g.ng, men gemensamt .r att innovation ofta frodas

ur olika former av n.tverk. Styrning mot att fr.mja n.tverkande torde s.ledes vara ett

tillv.gag.ngss.tt att indirekt skapa innovation genom olika n.tverk och samarbeten.

Syfte: Syftet .r att bidra med ny kunskap om hur styrning i innovativa organisationer

kan fr.mja n.tverkande, i och utanf.r organisationens gr.nser, samt hur n.tverkande kan

m.jligg.ra f.r kreativt t.nkande som leder till innovation.

Metod: F.rfattarna har genomf.rt en kvalitativ flerfallstudie som till stor del bygger p.

semistrukturerade intervjuer i tre innovativa f.retag. Studien analyserar hur styrning kan

fr.mja n.tverkande utifr.n fyra olika styrkategorier och hur n.tverkande kan bidra till

innovation.

Slutsats: Studien har visat att en styrning som till.ter en viss handlingsfrihet inom

best.mda ramar i kombination med ambiti.sa m.l under eget ansvar och en kultur som

f.respr.kar .ppenhet och transparens, kan m.jligg.ra f.r n.tverkande och samarbeten

inom och utanf.r en organisation. Styrningen b.r vara utformad s. att ledare har

m.jlighet att initiera projekt f.r att skapa rum d.r olika akt.rer kan m.tas och n.tverka.

Medarbetare b.r vidare involveras i beslutsprocesser f.r skapa engagemang till att vilja

n. m.l och f.r att initiera en n.tverkande kultur, d.r l.sningar kan kommuniceras fram.
