  This chapter explores the EU's social policy directions by 2030, considering the impacts of technology, globalisation, and migration on skills demand and socio-economic inequality. It assesses the EU's aim for social convergence and a just transition, guided by the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR). The chapter highlights significant negative socio-economic impacts through two country case studies and a GI-NI scenario with stagnating digital transformation and reduced globalisation. It argues that the EU must continue digitalisation and globalisation, despite public resistance, to achieve social convergence. The findings suggest that, while the EPSR provides a roadmap, essential elements like a European social model and a unified economic approach are missing. Limited support from leading EU countries raises concerns about developing a cohesive strategy. The chapter concludes that social convergence is a challenging and uncertain journey, especially with the anticipated impact of new technologies.

  This chapter explores the persistent economic and social disparities among European regions. Drawing on the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) framework, it investigates how institutional configurations and socio-economic models influence regional socio-economic convergence and divergence. Through analyses of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, and education data from 2000 to 2025, the study identifies diverse regional development paths. It underscores the need for tailored policy approaches at both the regional and national/EU levels, complementing each other while addressing historical, cultural, and institutional contexts to foster shared prosperity and minimise inequalities. The findings advocate embracing regional diversity as a competitive strength while promoting institutional learning and cooperation across regions to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth.

  In this essay, I discuss interdisciplinarity in teaching. I contrast it with two tendencies: on one hand, disciplinary one-sidedness, which I choose to call “professional narrow-mindedness” (fagidioti), and on the other hand, disciplinary superficiality, which I refer to as “dilettantism” (dilettanteri). Despite interdisciplinarity being emphasized as important, I attempt to show that in practice, it is more complicated than it first appears. To support this, I begin by discussing interdisciplinarity in a broader sense before “entering the classroom” to illustrate how interdisciplinarity in teaching encounters challenges, as well as what its value can be. A key argument is that interdisciplinarity not only concerns those who create scientific knowledge but also the ability to understand different forms of scientific knowledge.

  This essay discusses the relationship between theory and practice. The starting point is a reminder that theory is something different from practice, but more importantly, that the relationship between the two is more complex than is typically acknowledged in everyday academic life. The challenge is that, as academics, we do not sufficiently emphasize this complexity to our students. In our enthusiasm for our own handling of the relationship between theory and practice, we often undercommunicate the somewhat complicated path that has led us from one to the other. This essay is an attempt to remind us of how intricate this path has been and to explain why it should be conveyed to students.

  The paper explores how industrial development can occur in a peripheral region through the gradual development of strategic coherence between organisations, materiality, and agency. In a longitudinal case study of how the mechatronics industry became a main area for regional development spanning 50 years in the region of Agder in Norway, the authors have followed how national and regional innmovation policies, individual actors, and organisational strategies eventually flow together and influence organisations and firms to collaborate towards new and shared aims. In the paper, the authors perform field theory analysis, with emphasis on the significance of the development of reciprocal relations between institutions, understood as authorities, businesses, and universities, and strategic agency within and between strategic action fields. They question how industrial development in a peripheral region can be understood through a strategic action fields framework. The findings reveal that development of the industry spanned the evolution from small-scale entrepreneurial engineering activities in the 1960s to a regional innovation system and National Centre of Excellence with global knowledge hub ambitions in the 2010s. In conclusion, the analysis shows how mechatronics achieved a central role in regional development through common action between previously decoupled academic and industrial strategic action fields.

  This chapter presents a Nordic-based research approach, aimed at encouraging dialogical processes and broad participation at work, in order to support workplace innovation. The approach has been implemented in Norway and Sweden. The chapter (a) presents the theoretical underpinning related to the dialogical approach to workplace innovation; (b) presents findings from three large successive workplace innovation programmes based on this foundation in Norway; (c) connects (a) and (b) by presenting the programme designs, evaluations and research output and finally (d) reflects upon learning points from this programme history. The overall thesis is that the dialogical approach to workplace innovation has taken a large step forward through the Norwegian programmes. There is potential to further develop both the theoretical foundation for this approach and the methodology of dialogical change.

  In this chapter, Sustainable Manufacturing as MCB, Halvor Holtskog, Richard Ennals, and Hans Chr Garmann Johnsen argue how sustainable manufacturing can be seen as combining the traditional manufacturing management perspective with organisational development and participatory perspectives. The definition of Sustainable Business Systems is different from other uses of sustainability. The chapter tries to link arguments for business and for education. Arguably Working Life Research has an integrative role. One might ask: how can universities be seen as sustainable work systems, and how can they develop an account of empowerment?

  This article discusses action research strategies in regional development. It argues that regional settings are complex, and conceptualises this as the “third place”. This complexity implies a democratic challenge. Furthermore, using regional leadership as a case, it argues that in order to approach this as action researchers, one needs to discuss the assumptions the research is based on. The article discusses two action research approaches: the socio-technical approach and the democratic dialogue approach, and argues that in the complex setting of the “third place”, and at a pragmatic level, one might use insights from the two approaches. The argument for this is that regional development in practical terms both implies functional and structural challenges, but is also a matter of meaning construction. We discuss this as sequential governance.

  kapitlet tar for seg risikobaserte metoder som verktøy for å planlegge et preventivt vedlikeholdsprogram for tekniske enheter. Metodene går i korthet ut på systematisk gransking av en utvalgt enhet for å forstå virkemåten og for å avsløre mulige feilingsmekanismer. Til hver feilingsmekanisme vurderer en både årsaken og sannsynligheten for at den opptrer, samt dens konsekvens. Dette innebærer følgelig en vurdering av risikoen som er knyttet til hver feilingsmekanisme. Formålet med analysen er å foreslå forbedringer i det valgte designet eller i det planlagte vedlikeholdsprogrammet som senker denne risikoen. Metodene ble opprinnelig utviklet for amerikansk luftfart, men har etter hvert fått stor anvendelse innenfor andre industriområder med høye krav til pålitelighet og sikkerhet. Kapitlet tar med et eksempel fra norsk offshoreindustri.

  Friedrich Hayek var en av 1900-tallets mest innflytelsesrike samfunnstenkere, med bidrag til økonomi, samfunnsvitenskap og filosofi. Han argumenterte for betydningen av frie markeder, rettsstaten og individets frihet, samtidig som han kritiserte totalitære regimer og en overforenklet rasjonalisme. Boken diskuterer hvordan Hayeks ideer om spontan orden og begrenset statsmakt kan ha betydning i behandlingen av dagens økonomiske og politiske utfordringer. Forfatteren fremhever Hayeks mangfoldige intellektuelle bidrag og hans livslange engasjement for å forstå betingelsene for et fritt og liberalt samfunn. Det mest spesielle med boken er det vide perspektiv som anlegges på Hayeks arbeid. Den fremhever en sammenhengende linje i Hayeks tenkning, selv om hans interesser dekket flere fagfelt og utviklet seg gjennom ulike livsfaser. Forfatteren argumenterer for at Hayeks søkelys på «misbruk av fornuft» (the abuse of reason) og den trusselen mot den vestlige sivilisasjon dette representerte, er en rød tråd i hans verk. Boken gir innsikt i Hayeks personlige liv, samtidig som den beskriver hans forsøk på å definere de nødvendige betingelsene for et fritt samfunn, hans engasjement for intellektuell frihet, kritikk av totalitære regimer, og hans rolle som en brobygger i liberale nettverk​.
