“…Including reference [4], there are literatures on the role of the government and regional government [7]- [9]. However, they are focused on introduction and diffusion phase of socio-technical system and there need the organizational structure to adjust information sharing among related firms to facilitate the development of a socio-technical system.…”

“…About the organizational form that constructs new relationships among firms and promote information sharing, previous literatures verified that it to be comprised of multiple levels hierarchies, and that cooperation among firms is required [9]- [13]. Though, these literatures are about the phase of the introduction and diffusion of socio-technical systems and not only the organizational structure for information sharing, it needs factors that promote information sharing.…”

Abstract-This paper clarifies processes for promoting information sharing about results of socio-technical systems demonstration test which is conducted by firms who have different interest. By examining a smart grid system demonstration test in Kansai Science and Yokohama Cities in Japan, this paper has two major findings.First, information sharing among firms on demonstration tests as a whole project has been promoted by the Project Promotion Council of the demonstration test which is coordinated by the regional government of the demonstration test area.Second, in addition to the endeavor of firms who participated in demonstration test, the regional government of the demonstration test area works as a coordinator to promote information sharing between firms who participated in demonstration test and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan who subsidize two-thirds of the demonstration test budget.What became evident through this case study is for promoting information sharing among firms who have different interest should be consider establishing the information sharing organizational system and putting the regional government of the demonstration area as a coordinator on demonstration phase.Index Terms-Information sharing among firms, smart grid system, socio-technical system, role of the regional government of the demonstration test area.

“…It is increasingly understood that a focus on incremental innovation along established pathways is not enough to meet demanding environmental sustainability goals. The need for radical technological change or even innovation at the system level has been pointed out as the solution [24][25][26]. However, systemic changes generally incorporate greater potential benefits than radical modification [18].…”

Sustainability and Innovation in the Automotive Sector: A Structured Content Analysis

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aims to analyse the scientific literature on sustainability and innovation in the automotive sector in the last 13 years. The research is classified as descriptive and exploratory. The process presented 31 articles in line with the research topic in the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis identified the most relevant articles, authors, keywords, countries, research centers and journals for the subject from 2004 to 2016 in the Industrial Engineering domain. We concluded, through the systemic analysis, that the automotive sector is well structured on the issue of sustainability and process innovation. Innovations in the sector are of the incremental process type, due to the lower risk, lower costs and less complexity. However, the literature also points out that radical innovations are needed in order to fit the prevailing environmental standards. The selected studies show that environmental practices employed in the automotive sector are: the minimization of greenhouse gas emissions, life-cycle assessment, cleaner production, reverse logistics and eco-innovation. Thus, it displays the need for empirical studies in automotive companies on the environmental practices employed and how these practices impact innovation.

“…Social learning, as I will elaborate later on, has been shown to facilitate innovation and possibly foster the pathway for positive transitions in social-ecological systems (Cundill, 2010;Stephens and Graham, 2010;Tukker and Butter, 2007;De Kraker, 2017).…”

“…Social learning is defined here as 'an interactive and dynamic process in a multi-actor setting where participants learn through ongoing interaction as they co-create new knowledge' . Social learning has been shown to facilitate innovation and possibly foster a pathway for positive transitions towards healthier social-ecological systems (Cundill, 2010;Stephens and Graham, 2010;Tukker and Butter;De Kraker, 2017). This thesis favours localised regional approaches for addressing such challenges.…”
