PhD Defence: Nicolaj Tofte Brenneche

In order to obtain the PhD degree, Nicolaj Tofte Brenneche has submitted his thesis entitled:

Systemic Innovation In The Making

The Social Productivity Of Cartographic Crisis And Transitions

In The Case Of SEEIT

The thesis Systemic Innovation In The Making offers a new approach to studying processes of systemic innovation with contributions to organization process and innovation management studies. The empirical focus is a process of creating a European partnership in the field of sustainable energy research, education and innovation. The thesis provides an analysis of the interaction dynamics at work in the partnership and develops a performative, cartographic approach to studying these processes drawing on a broad range of theories including in particular the works of Gregory Bateson and Gilles Deleuze.
