LØGE OG MAGNE AARSET RAPPORT NR. 21/2017, MARS Forord På oppdrag fra Nærings- og fiskeridepartement har Menon Economics i denne rapporten analysert om den norske satsingen på romvirksomhet er samfunnsøkonomisk lønnsom, og om innretningen er hensiktsmessig for å nå målene som er nedfelt i Meld. St. 32 (2012–2013). Arbeidet må anses som en videreføring og utvidelse av det vurderingsarbeid som ble utført av Menon Economics i 2016 knyttet til Norges deltakelse i ESAs frivillige romprogrammer og tilskuddsordningen «Nasjonale følgemidler». Analysen har vært ledet av Menons forskningsleder Leo Grünfeld. Vi har også hentet mye ut gjennom samarbeid med Magne Aarset i Terp AS. Vi takker departementet for et spennende oppdrag.

    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.
