5. Research project: Social Manufacturing
• The emergent phenomenon of social manufacturing is
disrupting industries all over the world. People are increasingly
engaging in socio-economic systems built around sharing of
human and physical resources, leading to new end-user
experiences and new value-creation logics for companies. It
includes the shared creation, production, distribution, trade and
consumption of goods and services by different people and
organizations.
6. Examples
• Examples of already disrupted industries include
transportation and hospitality
• The fastest growing taxi company in the world, Uber, does not
own any of its cars.
• AirBnB quickly grew into the largest hotel chain without ever
owning a single room.
Hard assets -> People and socialto
7. Hard assets -> People and social
Centralized -> Distributed
8. Social Manufacturing project
• The social manufacturing project seeks to unravel the
forthcoming paradigm shift within the manufacturing and
energy industries, integral parts of the Finnish economy, and
thereby to identify new sources of competitiveness ex-ante, so
that the Finnish companies would be prepared, or even drive the
global disruption.
• Social manufacturing project facilitates industrial renewal and
the creation of new global leaders with the specific aim of
raising Finnish clothing and energy companies among the
fastest growing companies in their respective industries.
