Shipshaped Kongsberg Industry and Innovations in Deepwater
Shipshaped Kongsberg industry and innovations in deepwater technology, 1975-2007 by Stein Bjørnstad A dissertation submitted to BI Norwegian School of Management for the degree of PhD Series of Dissertations 7/2009 BI Norwegian School of Management Department of Innovation and Economic Organisation Stein Bjørnstad Shipshaped: Kongsberg industry and innovations in deepwater technology, 1975-2007 © Stein Bjørnstad 2009 Series of Dissertations 7/2009 ISBN: 978 82 7042 951 6 ISSN: 1502-2099 BI Norwegian School of Management N-0442 Oslo Phone: +47 4641 0000 www.bi.no Printing: Nordberg The dissertation may be ordered from our website www.bi.no (Research – Research Publications) 2 Abstract Shipshaped is a thesis on the emergence of an innovative offshore supplier industry. Multiple influences combined to the success of various techniques to extract oil and gas without fixed platforms; this thesis put particular emphasis on the relaxation of hierarchies in fostering innovation. Such disintegration occurred within firms in which empowered employees took on larger responsibilities and between firms. The pace of innovation accelerated where people were allowed to sort out things themselves rather than conforming to directions from above. Initially these conditions were more evident in offshore support services serviced by shipping companies, but practices pioneered in shipping eventually spread to the proper offshore oil industry. Two business units at Kongsberg, Albatross and Kongsberg Offshore, serves as a vantage point for this thesis. Kongsberg Offshore pioneered production systems that help oil companies control the flow of petroleum from a valve tree on the seabed rather than on fixed platforms. Albatross pioneered dynamic positioning, a technique that helps shipping companies maintain their position using propellers rather than mooring lines and anchors.

Appendix 9A. the 100 Largest Arms-Producing Companies, 2003
Appendix 9A. The 100 largest arms-producing companies, 2003 EAMON SURRY and THE SIPRI ARMS INDUSTRY NETWORK* I. Selection criteria and sources of data Table 9A lists the world’s 100 largest arms-producing companies (excluding China), ranked by their arms sales in 2003. The table contains information on the companies’ arms sales in 2002 and 2003, and their total sales, profit and employment in 2003. It includes public and private companies, but excludes manufacturing or maintenance units of the armed services. Only companies with manufacturing activities in the field of military goods and services are listed, not holding or investment companies. Chi- nese companies are excluded because of the lack of data. Companies from other countries might also have been included at the lower end of the list had sufficient data been available. Publicly available information on arms sales and other financial and employment data of the arms industry worldwide are limited. The sources of data for table 9A.1 include: company annual reports and Internet sites; a SIPRI questionnaire; and cor- poration news published in the business sections of newspapers, military journals and by Internet news services specializing in military matters. Press releases, marketing reports, government publications of prime contract awards and country surveys were also consulted. In the absence of data from these sources, estimates have been made by SIPRI. The scope of the data and the geographical coverage are largely determined by the availability of information. All data are continuously revised and updated and may change between different editions of the SIPRI Yearbook. The source for the dollar exchange rates is the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as provided in its International Financial Statistics.
