Martin, Hanna; Martin, Roman
Research on regional transformation typically sees regional economic change as an outcome
of innovation and knowledge creation processes. The role of demand, however, has received little attention so far. In this paper, we summarize the empirical research findings from a research project on the role of demand in new regional industrial path development, focussing on the transformation of the food sector towards environmentally friendly production. The food industry is in need to renew its production system in order to cope with climate change and other environmental challenges. Further, it is a consumer-driven industry and characterized by complex and diverse demand conditions, which makes it a relevant case to study the role of demand. Theory building is based on accounts on regional industrial path development and regional innovation systems, as well as sociotechnical transitions.
Empirically, we focus on two Swedish regions, Scania and Värmland, and data from a large-scale survey with all food-processing companies in the two regions as well as in-depth interviews with firm representatives and industry experts. The material is analysed in order to map and comprehend the role
of altering demand conditions for regional economic transformation. We provide novel research on regional transformation of mature industries and seek to inform policies to promote industrial renewal via demand conditions.

Åkerman, Niklas
This working paper outsets in describing the core constituents of the business model literature
in an account striving to offer an understanding of what the business model of a company is
and why is makes sense to connect the business model literature and regional development.
This is extended by the inclusion of dynamism in business models, popularly reported for
under the business model innovation label. While these are the core streams of the business
model literature, other areas have also been successively intertwined with the business model
literature. More specifically, this paper addresses the overlaps between business models and
servitization, digitalization and sustainability, respectively. This description is concluded by
highlighting some areas of development that may deserve particular attention in order to
understand what business model dynamics bring for regional development.
