Corporate strategy serves as an indispensable tool for management to ensure direction for the entire organization (Feldman, 2020). It is less clear, however, what specifically shapes an innovation strategy, what its boundaries are, and how often it is to be adjusted or reshaped. As innovation orients towards capturing future opportunities, which continuously change in multiple possible directions, we find it worth considering what can and cannot be captured with existing strategy tools.

Digital technologies have a profound impact on consumer behavior (Chanias, 2017) and the competitive landscape (Vial, 2019). They create growth opportunities as well as existential threats to companies. By providing the means by which firms can reconfigure their product/service mix, digital technologies allow for the creation of new offerings (Yoo et al., 2010). These technologies can change products and services and create new business models (Loebbecke & Picot, 2015). Additionally, they impact the ways consumers interact with companies and with each other (Karagiannaki et al., 2017).
数字技术对消费者行为(Chanias, 2017)和竞争格局(Vial, 2019)有着深远的影响。它们创造了增长机会,也给企业带来了生存威胁。通过提供企业可以重新配置其产品/服务组合的手段,数字技术允许创造新的产品(Yoo等人,2010)。这些技术可以改变产品和服务,创造新的商业模式(Loebbecke & Picot, 2015)。此外,它们还影响消费者与公司以及彼此之间的互动方式(Karagiannaki et al., 2017)。

, and many open questions remain about how local authorities should support its emergence. One key challenge relates to decomposing the focal offering of the MaaS ecosystem into complementary value propositions for key players in the industry. This paper presents the results of a constructive design research project, building on interviews with a leading MaaS provider, as well as stakeholders representing national and local authorities in four European cities. The findings emphasize the need to balance a shared desire to disrupt conventional ways of offering mobility services against reluctance to overturn the industry’s public and private incumbents. The co-design framework that results serves to summarize five steps that enable MaaS by guiding strategic interaction between local authorities and various players in the mobility ecosystem. In addition, the article builds on ecosystem research insights and emphasizes the need to align value propositions among multiple stakeholders. The study suggests that the mobility sector provides a prominent empirical context for future ecosystem research.

Animal husbandry, food production, and soil fertilizing in agriculture all include streams of organic mass that are used in production processes. A large portion of the nutrients of these materials are contained in the secondary outputs, that is, side streams of material, such as manure and industrial side streams. In the interest of more efficient resource usage, it is desirable to collect these nutrients back to circulation with the ecosystem of industries and primary production. Equally important is to be able to manage the distribution of nutrients into the environment in an ecologically sustainable way, that preferably promotes biodiversity also. In addition to the refined nutrient content of outputs, organic mass is suitable for biogas production that can be used in heat and electricity production, and also as transportation fuel.

Precision farming technologies aim to optimize the use of farming inputs both spatially and temporally for improved economic outcomes and reduced environmental impacts of farming. In precision farming, a field is considered as a heterogeneous entity with variable topography, soil properties, weed infestation, and yield potential, whereby management practices are tailored spatially and temporally (Finger et al., 2019). Precision farming thus strongly relies on site-specific sensing of variables that are essential for management decisions. Georeferencing techniques and spatial mapping are important elements in precision farming. Introduction

A farmer’s work focuses on allocating limited resources to their most important duties, while using contractors for capital intensive works. This is typically the way new technology enters agriculture in Finland also, as contractors have bigger and technologically advanced machinery. In the middle of the 2010’s, use of contractors was still low compared to many other European countries. According to research from the Work Efficiency Institute (TTS), contractor use is increasing steadily (Palva, 2019). Regarding data management, several current large projects aim to harmonize and standardize data handling and storage. A major question surrounds the ownership and management of farm data (VillaHenriksen et al., 2020), the cornerstone for farmers’ participation and cooperation to develop these systems. A project to harmonize data flow between different tractor makes and implementations was launched already in the 1990’s. It is called the ISO 11783 series of standards (marked name ISOBUS) “Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry Serial control and communication data network”. The purpose of ISO 11783 standard is to specify the method and format of data transfer between sensors, actuators, control elements, information storage, and display units, whether mounted or part of the tractor, along with any implementations (Backman, 2013). The ISOBUS standard has achieved many of its objectives, but the system is continuously in developmental stages.

农民的工作重点是将有限的资源分配给他们最重要的职责,同时使用承包商进行资本密集型工作。这也是新技术进入芬兰农业的典型方式,因为承包商拥有更大、技术先进的机器。在2010年代中期,与许多其他欧洲国家相比,承包商的使用率仍然很低。根据工作效率研究所(TTS)的研究,承包商的使用正在稳步增加(Palva,2019)。关于数据管理,目前的几个大型项目旨在统一和标准化数据处理和存储。一个主要问题围绕着农场数据的所有权和管理(Villa-Henriksen et al.,2020),这是农民参与和合作开发这些系统的基石。一个协调不同拖拉机品牌和实施之间数据流的项目已经在20世纪90年代启动。它被称为ISO 11783系列标准(标名ISOBUS)“农林拖拉机和机械串行控制和通信数据网络”。ISO 11783标准的目的是规定传感器、执行器、控制元件、信息存储和显示单元之间的数据传输方法和格式,无论是安装在拖拉机上还是拖拉机的一部分,以及任何实施方式(Backman,2013)。ISOBUS标准已经实现了许多目标,但该系统仍处于发展阶段。Ilpo Pölönen、Antti Suokannas和Antti Juntunen智能农业中基于云的干草捆跟踪和监测新方法
