Advanced engineering: How to sustain ability for innovation operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The climate challenges are confronting companies’ development activities in many ways, but particularly in terms of how to coherently address sustainability operations in advanced engineering tasks. Advanced engineering tasks are recognised to incorporate the early stages of technical product development, thereby specifically focussing innovation and the possibilities to rethink both businesses and products. This paper’s purpose is to contribute to the reflections on how to operate engineering tasks and drive innovative and sustainable thinking. The paper presents the climate challenges and a sustainable development perspective to provide a background, and in line with other researchers create a reminder for the basics. It exemplifies an industrial initiative for meeting the climate challenges, in which the work across a whole industry has been identified as important. The conclusion is that it is not straightforward to operationalize sustainable development, mainly due to the relational complexity among stakeholders and their different perspectives.
