From PowerPoints to Reality - Managing Strategic Change in the Paper Packaging Industry

This thesis explores and describes strategic change towards increased customer orientation and innovation in the Swedish forest and paper packaging industry, an industry which has been subject to calls for new strategic directions for more than two decades. The large-scale and cost-efficient strategy, which has been the industry's hallmark, is in need of a more customer based and innovative emphasis. The research is inspired by different schools of thought in strategy and motivated by the limited longitudinal studies; on the link between customer orientation, innovation and strategy, and on this empirical setting. The link is of particular relevance given the emerging paradigms of dual and ambidextrous strategies in literature and practice, integrating strategies focused on cost and differentiation, efficiency and innovation – at the same time. This development further adds to the need for more insight into the gap between strategy development and implementation. A qualitative and longitudinal case study of one actor in the Swedish forest and paper packaging industry is carried out. Crossing several theoretical boundaries, the research contributes to knowledge on what strategic change towards increased customer orientation and innovation entails: what the challenges are, how they can be managed, and how change can be measured. In the case study, strategic change is found to be a time-consuming, incremental yet revolutionary process. Far from a linear journey, it is challenged by paradoxes on a strategic and organisational level formed by dual and seemingly opposing strategic intents. It is managed by expanding the perspective of the value chain and using traditional levers such as the organisational structure. But more interestingly, it is also managed by means of less orthodox ways for market learning, development and featuring of new offerings combined with faith in the direction aimed for. This thesis argues that being able to manage a strategic change towards this end requires an integration of rational and pragmatic thinking and doing that combines levers and measures of cultural and cognitive change with more traditional ones. It contributes to a further understanding of this challenging endeavour and to future research on competitive and sustainable development of mature industries

The Functional Basis Of Counterfactual Thinking

The functional role of counterfactual thoughts ( might have been reconstructions of the past) was explored in three laboratory experiments. Specifically, counterfactual thoughts were posited to serve two possible functions: an affective function (feeling better) and a preparative function (preparing for the future via avoiding the recurrence of negative events). It is argued that counterfactuals as a generic class of cognitions generally serve these two functions, but that specific types of counterfactuals may in particular do so. Two dimensions are described alone which counterfactuals may be classified: direction (upward vs downward) and structure (additive vs subtractive). Upward counterfactuals focus on an alternative that is better than reality, whereas downward counterfactuals focus on an alternative that is worse than reality. Additive counterfactuals focus on the addition of antecedent elements that were not present in the past, whereas subtractive counterfactuals focus on the deletion of antecedent elements that were present in the past.;In all three experiments, these two variables are manipulated, forming, along with self-esteem, 2 x 2 x 2 factorial designs. In Experiment 1, subjects recalled negative life events, generated counterfactuals, and rated their current affect. Direction but not structure influenced affect ratings, such that downward counterfactuals resulted in more positive affect than upward counterfactuals. In Experiment 2, subjects recalled a disappointing examination performance, generated counterfactuals, rated their current affect, and rated their intentions to perform success-facilitating behaviours. Again, direction but not structure influenced affect rating in their same manner as in Experiment 1. Direction but not structure also influenced intention ratings, such that upward counterfactual generation resulted in stronger intentions to perform success-facilitating behaviours. In Experimental 3, subjects engaged in a computer-administered anagram task. Although the affective effects were not significant, both direction and structure influenced performance: upward as well as additive counterfactual generation resulted in greater improvement on the anagram task.;These findings provide initial support for a functional theory of counterfactual thinking: people may strategically use downward counterfactuals to make themselves feel better (an affective function), and they may strategically use upward and additive counterfactuals to improve performance in the future (a preparative function). The present studies suggest that the mechanism underlying the preparative function represents a causal link from counterfactuals to intentions to overt behaviours. Implications for current theory and future research are considered

Avaliação in vitro da capacidade de selamento de diferentes materiais usados como barreiras intra-coronal

Introdução: O adequado selamento do sistema de canais radiculatres (SCR) obtido através da obturação, evita a infiltração de micro-organismos entre as paredes do canal radicular e o material obturador, reduzindo a possibilidade de insucesso do tratamento endodôntico (TE). A falta de selamento coronal, o atraso da colocação da restauração permanente, a fratura da restauração coronal, assim como uma espessura inadequada da restauração provisória, inferior a 4mm, podem, entre outros factores, ser predisponentes para a recontaminação do SCR obturado. Sendo o selamento da entrada do SCR uma importante etapa do TE, neste estudo pretendeu-se avaliar diferentes materiais para tal procedimento, avaliando qual o material que proporciona menor infiltração. Materiais e métodos: Neste estudo foram utilizados 70 dentes humanos monocanalares, que foram divididos aleatoriamente em 6 grupos. Grupo I (15 dentes) foram selados com ionómero de vidro modificado por resina (Ionoseal - VOCO®), Grupo II (15 dentes) foram selados com ionómero de vidro modicifado por resina (GC Fuji II LC- GA America®), Grupo III (15 dentes) foram selados por um compósito fluído (GrandioSO Heavy Flow - VOCO®), Grupo IV (15 dentes) foram selados por um compósito nanohíbrido (GrandioSO - VOCO®). O Grupo V (5 dentes) e o Grupo VI (5 dentes) foram usados como controlo negativo e positivo, respectivamente. Os dentes foram submetidos a termociclagem de 500 ciclos, de 60 segundos de duração cada um, com variações de temperatura de 5°C - 55°C. Em seguida, foram imersos em corante azul de metileno a 2% para avaliação da infiltração dos materiais. Resultados: Em geral, Ionoseal® demonstrou maior infiltração de corante que os outros materiais, e quando comparado com os demais grupos a diferença foi significativa. Porem entre os grupos 1, 2 e 3 não houve diferença estatística significante. Conclusões: LC Fuji II®, GrandioSo® Nano partícula Flow e GrandioSo® Nano partícula podem ser usados como barreira intracanalar.Introduction: A proper root canal sealing obtained through obturation, avoid the bacterial leakage between the root canal walls and the material use to seal the canal, reducing the possibility of root canal failure. The lack of coronal sealing, the delay on the permanent filing, the fracture of the coronal filling as the incorrect thickness of the temporary filling, lower that 4mm, can among other factors, contribute for the reinfection of the root canal. Therefore, the sealing of the root canal orifice is an important step of the endodontic treatment, in this study the goal is to evaluate different materials for the procedure, evaluating which material has the lowest leakage. Materials e methods: in this study were used 70 human single root teeth, that were divides randomly in 6 groups. Group I (15 teeth) sealed with resin-modified glass-ionomer (Ionoseal - VOCO®), Group II (15 teeth) sealed with resin-modified glass-ionomer (GC Fuji II LC- GA America®), Group III (15 teeth) sealed with nanoparticle flow composite (GrandioSO Heavy Flow -VOCO®), Group IV (15 teeth) sealed with nanoparticle composite (GrandioSO - VOCO®). The Group V (5 teeth) and the Group VI (5 teeth) were used as negative and positive control, respectively. The teeth were subjected to thermocycling of 500 cycles, with baths of 20 seconds each, with temperatures between 5°C - 55°C. After that, they were immersing into methylene blue 2% to evaluate the leakage of the materials. Results: In general, Ionoseal® showed a higher leakage than the other materials, when compare amongst the other groups the difference was significate. Although groups 1, 2, and 3 when compare amongst each other’s there was no significant difference. Conclusions: LC Fuji II®, GradioSo® Nanoparticle Flow and GradioSo® Nanoparticle can be used as intraorifice barrier
