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.","PeriodicalId":51569,"journal":{"name":"Technology Innovation Management Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"13-25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46119228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":51569,"journal":{"name":"Technology Innovation Management Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"33-43"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42316708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.
