Journalism innovation, according to service innovation theory, is about providing new journalistic services that create value for audiences, society, and the news organisation itself. This study explores how local news media responded to the Coronavirus crisis in terms of service innovation. Based on interviews with editors and top management representatives at two local newspaper groups in Norway (N = 20), we show how local newspapers developed new digital services in response to audiences’ need for guidance, overview, and a sense of togetherness, and how the media operations generated revenues in the process. Theoretically, the study identifies two key innovation dynamics in local journalism during a crisis: A social-economic value creation dynamic which captures how local newspapers appropriate their business model to accommodate new service offerings and balance social and economic value creation considerations; and a service system-audience experience dynamic which captures how innovation in journalistic offerings are linked to concurrent innovations in journalistic production processes. This research enhances the understanding of journalism innovation as a value-creating phenomenon and the factors that stimulate such value creation during crises.

Hvordan kan bedrifter ledes slik at de skaper større verdier i en stadig mer digitalisert økonomi? INNOVASJONSEVNE OG DIGITAL TRANSFORMASJON I NORSKE BEDRIFTER gir deg nye verktøy og innsikter som kan brukes til å skape verdier på en smart, bærekraftig og ansvarlig måte. Digital transformasjon innebærer å endre bedriften slik at den skaper økt verdi for kunder og brukere gjennom nye tjenester basert på digitale teknologier. Mange bedrifter mislykkes i denne prosessen fordi de mangler innovasjonsevne, og denne evnen må bedriftene utvikle på egen hånd - den kan ikke kjøpes.I boken viser forfatteren hvordan dette kan gjøres. Forfatteren bruker resultater fra en ny studie om to konsern innen mediebransjen i Norge til å vise hvordan innovasjonsevne og digital transformasjon virker inn på verdiskapingen. Målgruppen for boken er personer med lederansvar, forskere innen ledelse, medier og innovasjon, og politikere og studenter som er opptatt av ny verdiskaping gjennom digitalisering.

Research into the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Knowledge-Based View (KBV) of firms has evolved over the last 30 years from being focused on the control of physical resources, through knowledge-based digital resources, to innovation. This paper considers a service perspective of RBV-KBV to help explain differences in the competitive advantage attributable to digital and physical resources. Such an understanding helps explain the evolution of RBV-KBV research over the last 30 years and strengthens the links between the established research themes of RBV, KBV, and innovation. Competitive advantage can be created and retained through digital resources but sustainable competitive advantage for digital service firms relies on those physical resources that provide the dynamic capabilities to innovate, and so continually develop the digital resources.

This book aims to develop innovation theory by focusing on innovation in a consumer society. In an advanced consumer society, services dominate and are provided through digital as well as physical channels by local, national and global firms. This book aims to identify the ways in which value can be increased for all stakeholders through both incremental and disruptive innovation. When interacting with leading businesses, there is a common acceptance that we need a better understanding of how to innovate in a service economy. Today, most advanced economies are service and knowledge based, accounting for about 70 percent of GDP. OECD reports document a considerable knowledge gap related to service innovation. Specifically they state: “Innovation policy has been slow to adapt to the needs of the service sector, which accounts for growing share of output and employment in OECD economies” (OECD, 2005). It is a challenge for both societies and firms that future economic growth will increasingly be based on services rather than manufacturing and products. Failing to understand innovation issues in this context as an engine for growth is somewhat alarming. This raises the question: do we know how to innovate successfully in a consumer driven society? In our approach to this book, we develop the concept of Value Driven Service Innovation, alongside a methodology for applying this approach in practice: the Service Innovation Triangle. We develop a better understanding of innovation based on the uniqueness of services in order to develop the theory of service innovation suitable for a consumer society.

The primary goal of this book is to improve the level and success of innovation in public services by developing and applying an integrated model of public sector service innovation. As a test of that premise, and as a contribution to current public policy, we have developed and applied such a model to one case, the subject of in-home care services for independent living. We have chosen this subject and focus based upon three premises: • Public services, whether funded and/or managed by government or the private sector, are an important and growing part of all advanced societies. Populations are becoming older, technology provides new solutions, and citizens are becoming more demanding. • Independent Living for seniors and the disabled is a crucial social and economic issue for the foreseeable future in the developed world • Existing theories and tools for innovation, while competent, display “gaps” in their ability to include and integrate the range of social, strategic and tactical considerations at play in public services.

The global digital revolution has changed consumer society, service expectations and funding models forever. New companies, such as Amazon, have risen quickly to dominate sectors, processes and markets. There is a digitally enabled global consumer society emerging where new services dominate ubiquitous and quickly copied products through new channels. It is an Amazon economy. Consumers now inform one another, bypassing traditional marketing channels; companies integrate vertically and horizontally, breaking down old structures; new ventures push out traditional players; long-term value replaces short-term profit, and so value driven service innovation becomes the new driver of economic growth and social change. Innovating in a Service-Driven Economy explores these changes from the perspectives of leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of innovation today including David Teece, Erik Kiaer, Henry Chesbrough, Jon H. Pittman, Jose Avalos, and Steven Vargo

Conference lecture Peder Inge Furseth (2023)
As global economic competition becomes increasingly innovation-driven, governments are intensely searching for ways to increase innovation activities at all levels of society. This is happening in both developed and developing nations as well as across industry and economic sectors (Aokhin & Wincent, 2012; Cusolito & Maloney, 2018; Powell & Snellman, 2004). A review of the innovation policy literature, however, reveals that past research tends to take a piece-meal investigative approach with focus on a single or narrow set of explanatory variables (e.g., funding and tax incentives), leading to limited or ineffective policy recommendations. This research practice needs to be corrected if we are to advance knowledge and inform policy for better outcomes.

Article Peder Inge Furseth, Richard Cuthbertson (2018)
Is there a way to increase the success rate without spending more? We think there is. Innovation projects often fail because the resources are spent on the wrong kind of innovation. Too much money is spent on attention-grabbing activities that are straightforward to do, like hiring new people, procuring new technologies, and buying more facilities. It is much less obvious, and usually harder, to change the design of a current service system, introduce new customer experiences, or build a better business model — but the return on those investments may be much higher.

We often hear about artificial intelligence (AI) and its promise of reshaping business. But what if we take a more critical look at the promise of reshaping business with AI. What aspects of AI will work in the near future? Technologies transform cultures and digitization is primarily about humans, who need to understand changes in customers and management. Accociate Professor Peder Inge Furseth will talk about the implementation of successful business models and platforms, and how technologies and culture need to go hand in hand. Furseth is an Associate Professor at BI Norwegian Business School. He also holds workshops at the University of Oxford and in the San Francisco Bay Area. His most recent book is entitled "Innovation in an advanced consumer society" (Oxford University Press in 2016). Furseths main focus areas are service innovation, digital business models and platforms, and innovation culture.

The field of innovation is developing a strong focus in services (Chesbrough & Spohrer, 2006; Vence & Trigo, 2009; Gallouj & Dhilal, 2010; Ostrom et. al., 2010). Most value creation, as well as employment, in developed economies occurs in the service sector. However, innovations in manufacturing are more frequently documented. Hence, there is a strong need for the better understanding of innovation in services, both for thinkers and practitioners. Although there has been considerable growth in developing service innovation theory in the last decade, researchers start from the absence of an agreed model of service innovation (Howells, 2000; Hauser, Tellis, & Griffin, 2006), and have struggled explaining practical developments. In this paper we bring the theory and practice of service innovation together in a coherent framework so that theory and practice may be developed further. Innovation comes in degrees, from incremental to radical. Companies need to work on both kinds at the same time, to avoid structural and cultural inertia. Usually an older and/or larger company experiences more inertia (Tushman & O’Reilly, 1996). Companies with such inertia typically focus on incremental innovations, if they carry out any innovation activity at all. If one translates this to a service context, incremental innovation is about improving the core service offering through successive service or product enhancements. This is necessary on an ongoing basis, but does not transform an industry or a company. The more radical kind of service innovation is to find new ways of doing things that changes the whole service environment. The focus needs to be on the overall customer experiences rather than on the products or services themselves (Vandermerwe, 2003). The framework developed in this paper is to include elements from a core range of academic and practitioner developments. We identify nine drivers of consumer value. The framework starts from the premise that successful innovation is driven by the value created, or potentially created, where value may be defined in both economic and social terms (Sweeney & Soutar, 2001; Berry et. al., 2006). We consider value as the worth of goods of services as determined by the market and the users or consumers. The framework is summarized in this paper and emphasizes the value-driven nature of service innovation. We apply the framework to case companies in the mobile phone and the grocery sectors, explaining in a new way why some companies are successful and others fail. We identify two innovation journeys typically initiated through a focus on the network of providers or customer segments, resulting in radically changing the context of the market. Companies that do not limit themselves to incremental innovation but initiate infrastructure changes accessible to all, within controlled bounds, will have the highest likelihood for success.
