    S2E6 - Circular economy and creativity in the pharmaceutical industry

    What can large corporations and start-ups learn from each other? How do you make circular economy work in the pharmaceutical industry? And how do you foster creativity in that business?  These are some of the questions that Sif Bregnballe and Laura Karppinen set out to investigate in their thesis. We also touch upon their process of writing a thesis when almost exclusively meeting online, as well as their take on what is important to keep in mind when you have to find a thesis partner.

    S2E4 - Innovation in times of crisis

    Navigating your own business during a global pandemic while writing a thesis about the consequences of said pandemic simultaneously can be... challenging.  This week’s guest, Luis Xavier Mariscal, tells us all about how the process of writing his thesis actually helped him with his work in his own company. We also touch upon the struggles of splitting up with your thesis partner, how to stay focused when your mind tends to go wondering and how one’s definition of a company can help you see things in new perspective.

    S2E3 - Accelerating sustainability

    Laura Katzensteiner and Signe Dreyer Elkjær have taken the buzzword sustainability into an academically very unresearched field. In their thesis, they dealt with the question of how accelerators actually integrate sustainability into their business models. They tell us how they approached this topic, how they managed to stay productive during lockdown and how they finally designed a framework that answers their research question.

    #27 The Language of Collaboration - University Entrepreneurship in Denmark

    How can universities collaborate on innovation in a meaningful and efficient way? And how should we speak about collaboration to truly incentivize strong and active relationships? Language is one core element that frames our understanding and thus our bahavior with collaboration. The Triple Helix functioned as guiding theory to detect this language of collaboration.

    #26 B2B co-creation for Banks and Fintechs

    Despite value co-creation becoming an increasingly common practice, the knowledge of how co- creation is enabled in business-to-business contexts remains scant. Therefore, this thesis seeks to enrich the understanding of the drivers and facilitators that influence the co-creation process to inform the knowledge gap of how value co-creation is enabled. Guided by the research question - how can incumbent firms within the financial services industry enable value co-creation activities with fintechs? – a case study of a bank’s collaborations with two fintechs is conducted to relate theory to practice. This thesis thus investigates the enablers to value co-creation by applying the theoretical lenses of the resource-based view, ecosystem theory, absorptive capacity, inter-organisational knowledge transfer and organisational learning, which collectively provide insights on the value co-creation process. As a result, the thesis puts forward an overview of the value co-creation process divided into three stages, along with the essential enablers relating to each stage. Based on insights from this research, we contribute to the academic literature on how business to business value co-creation is enabled.
