#26 B2B co-creation for Banks and Fintechs 19:23

5 years ago19:23

19:23

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.…

#25 Innovation Culture in SMEs 18:27

18:27

This master’s thesis examines the decisive organizational factors for practising a successful innovation culture in Danish Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). An extensive amount of literature on the field of innovation, organizational culture and innovation culture have been reviewed, and the relevant literature has by a deductive approach been used as a framework. A comparative case study has been chosen as a strategy to research the field of innovation culture, and here, mixed methods have been used to collect empirical data for the research. Quantitative data have been collected by the use of surveys, and qualitative data have conducted via semi-structured interviews with respondents from six different SMEs in the comparative case study. SMEs have been chosen as cases due to the importance of SMEs in the Danish business industry, and the cases were chosen from Børsen’s gazelle list in 2018. The collected quantitative and qualitative data have been analysed by the use of the framework from the reviewed literature of innovation, organizational culture and innovation culture. Moreover, three business cases from major global companies have been used in the analysis as a framework of how to practise a successful innovation culture. The findings from the analysis have been discussed, and from here it can be concluded that shared basic values are an important decisive factor and the means to create shared basic values are done by the use of artefacts and norms. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the culture in SMEs needs to be built and it needs to be valuable. Risk-taking, encouragement and reward of new ideas in the organization can also be concluded to be decisive organizational factors. Furthermore, a people-centric approach is, in general, a very important approach for SMEs and finally, to hire diverse and creative people, be customer-driven and create a foundation for open innovation can also be concluded to be important for a successful innovation culture in SMEs. However, these principles and approaches can be practised in numerous ways depending on the individual SME.…

#23 Diversity and the Art of Dialogue in Companies 14:59

5 years ago14:59

14:59

With increasing diversity at the workplace, it becomes essential for businesses to find out how that diversity can be used as a competitive advantage. Addressing a gap in the literature, this thesis explores how diversity in companies may be leveraged through dialogue: what are the benefits and challenges, and how may it be done in practice? Taking a critical realist approach, the theories of Thomas & Ely (1996) on diversity and of Isaacs (1999) on dialogue are linked as the basis for qualitative research in three knowledge-heavy companies within banking, tech and pharma, where 10 managers and employees have been interviewed. The findings indicate that dialogue is being used to leverage diversity with great corporate benefits, but rarely methodologically and systematically. The companies also encounter challenges, several of which may stem from business rationales that are at odds with rationales inherent to a dialogical approach, and we have applied the concept of institutional logics to shed light on this. The findings further suggest that a more conscious, strategic use of dialogue combined with inclusive thinking may increase the benefits of diversity. Future research may include what it may mean to the shape and form of dialogue that employees are often spread over large geographical distances and how that, in turn, may affect the effectiveness of dialogue.…
