Transforming research into business : MBA-thesis in marketing

Abstract: This thesis describes the innovation system in and around Lund. The aim was to investigate the innovation system in and around Lund by using functional analysis, i.e. analyzing functions and processes rather than actors and their independent task. Actors have been identified, grouped by their relevance and connection to specific processes, and described. A functional analysis has then been performed on the selected actors to establish current status and potential future needs.
