This presents a course development project that I have been working on for the better part of 2013. The presentation is a part of a course that I am taking myself in pedagogical development.
There are some new (for me at least) teaching practices in there such as a role-based case project and risk/game based scoring of exams etc.
Pecha Kucha - Beware, test takers! Real work ahead.Per Olof Arnäs
My first Pecha Kucha to be presented at the education conference KUL 2014. It is about a university course that I inherited and the story of me changing it into a more real-life relevant course.
A film of me presenting this Pecha Kucha can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo6sji08OBY
Some key points include a real-world based case, game-based midterm-exam scoring and double loop feedback.
Understanding outsourcing contexts through information asymmetry and capabili...Ian McCarthy
Outsourcing is a strategic activity that has long been central to operations management research and practice. Yet, there are still many outsourcing management challenges that remain. In this article, we explore two of the outsourcing challenges that motivated this special issue and are central to the 10 articles included. To do this, we develop a theoretical model that examines how variations in capability fit and information asymmetry combine to present firms with four different outsourcing contexts. We then explain how each of the articles included in this special issue relate to our theoretical model and explore several avenues for future research.
From flop to flipped - A course transformationPer Olof Arnäs
This is the story of a course transformation process of course in Transport economics. In 2013, the course was rebooted. New material was added and both Active and Blended Learning was introduced (videos, e-learning, new exam type, large case work) resulting in much better evaluation grades and study results.

The E-commerce sector is in many ways driving innovation in freight transport. In Sweden, the e-commerce industry has formulated a series of areas where the freight industry needs to be improved, either by process improvement, service development or infrastructure development.
This talk (45 mins) looks at these issues from a digital development point of view for the freight industry. A lot has to happen, but much is also possible.

VTT has undertaken an international study on the impact of its operations. As a result of this research, it was confirmed that VTT exerts a pivotal role as a promoter of the competitive ability of Finnish business enterprises and as a creator of well-being. VTT’s expertise is involved in every third Finnish innovation.
According to this new report, VTT is the most important R&D partner amongst public research organizations for Finnish enterprises. VTT’s role is emphasized particularly in innovations based on companies’ core technologies. According to the SFINNO database of Finnish technological innovations, no fewer than 43% of them contain VTT know-how. The research shows that cooperation with VTT also facilitates the entry of Finnish business enterprises and innovations into international markets. This trend has increased in vigour especially in recent years.

E commerce and freight transport - Chasing the last mile, one byte at a timePer Olof Arnäs
The freight transport industry is facing large challenges when it comes to e-commerce. This rapidly growing sector has high demands on service and performance from the freight system - demands that are seldom met with satisfaction.
Digitization and digitalization are two forces of nature that the transport industry needs to harness and exploit in order to meet these demands.
Freight transportation in the future - Some indicationsPer Olof Arnäs
This presentation highlights some of the notable trends and developments that are affecting transportation (freight) and logistics. The areas covered are digitalization, automation, "new" transport modes, sharing economy, real-time data driven decision making, block chain technology and servitization. Any and/or all of these may have profound impact on freight transport.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Increasing customer value and
decreasing distribution costs
with merge-in-transit
The purpose of the article is to describe and compare the purchasing process for advanced versus basic logistics services. Further
some specific observations are presented from the procurement of advanced third-party logistics services, with respect to service

1. Introduction
A changing context and new demands on logistics are
driving an ongoing transformation and differentiation
of the buying process for logistics services. Logistics
services purchased some years ago were usually quite
easy to define and the purchase decision was mainly
based on the price of the service. Those basic logistics
services constitute still the big volume offered and
bought, but they are increasingly bought in bundles (van
Laarhoven et al., 2000; Andersson, 1997; Sink and
Langley, 1997; Berglund, 2000). At the same time,
different value adding services and IT services are
increasingly included in the bundles of services, which
are handled in so-called third-party logistics relationships (Andersson, 1997; van Laarhoven et al., 2000).
This development increases the complexity of the
purchasing process of logistics. The increasingly more
advanced tasks companies are trying to outsource today
(e.g. logistics management) are much harder to specify
and the companies are also not used to doing this. Van
Hoek (2000) argues that there is a need for further

Abstract
Goods movement and freight distribution are widely underrepresented in regional science and geographical research. This is
surprising since a large body of traditional spatial theory has been developed with respect to transportation costs or to trade areas:
those aspects that were originally closely connected with the exchange of goods. Growing attention is being paid in geography to
related subjects, such as the emergence of global production networks, to structural changes in retail or to the commodification of
modern consumption. To a certain extent, these processes depend upon the efficient transfer of information, finance and physical
goods. Yet, with a few exceptions, the freight sector appears to be neglected in contemporary research. This paper provides an
overview of the emerging transport geography of logistics and freight distribution. It challenges the traditional perspective where
transportation is considered as a derived demand with the idea that logistical requirements underline transportation as a component
of an integrated demand. The paper provides an analysis of the evolution of logistics as it pertains to the core dimensions of

transport geography (flows, nodes/locations and networks). The concept of logistical friction is also introduced to illustrate the
inclusion of the multidimensional notion of impedance in integrated freight transport demand.

the science of physical distribution. Although it represents an entire system of space/time interdependencies,
we believe that physical distribution has been neglected
in current geographical, urban or regional studies.
Up to recently, geography did not pay much attention to logistics and freight transportation, as the focus
was mainly on passengers and individual mobility issues.
Textbooks on urban or general transport geography,
like those edited by Hanson (1995), Taaffe et al. (1996)
or Hoyle and Knowles (1998), now raise more freight
related questions than they did in earlier editions, particularly with regard to trade and ports. The latter is
probably the only logistics subject that received major
reference from academic geography. Other core spatial
implications of distribution and logistics have been directly addressed in geography by few authors who
developed an insight into wholesale activities and their
geographical distribution (Glasmeier, 1992; McKinnon,
1983, 1988, 1998; Riemers, 1998; Vance, 1970). Following the nature of retailing as an originally distributive activity, geographic research on retail and
consumption is of interest in the logistics context too.
However, retail geography does not pay much attention
to distribution changes (Marsden and Wrigley, 1996),

ABSTRACT
An increase in the outsourcing of logistics in partnerships between shippers and
service providers has been observed. Expected positive cost and service effects
are important driving forces for the outsourcing of logistics. Linked to the cost
aspects is also a desire to reduce investments. It could be a question of
transforming fixed costs to variable, or to facilitate fast and radical restructuring
of supply chains. Finally, one of the single most important driving forces is the
shipper's ambition to concentrate on core business.

ABSTRACT

presentations: Good!
An increase in the outsourcing of logistics in partnerships between shippers and
service providers has been observed. Expected positive cost and service effects
are important driving forces for the outsourcing of logistics. Linked to the cost
aspects is also a desire to reduce investments. It could be a question of
transforming fixed costs to variable, or to facilitate fast and radical restructuring
of supply chains. Finally, one of the single most important driving forces is the
shipper's ambition to concentrate on core business.
Logistics partnerships have been observed to have a positive effect on the
