The position will involve conducting research within the Transforming Shipping through the Ecosystem Business model Innovation (TSEBI) project. The core idea of TSEBI is to innovate at the level of entire industrial ecosystems (and not just at firm level) through new sustainable business models. Key industrial partners, such as Kongsberg Maritime, want to take a leading role in realizing a reliable and sustainable future transport system by commercializing a fully electrical and autonomous container vessel towards global maritime markets.

A key focus is how firms can align interests and incentives across ecosystem actors to jointly agree on value creation, value delivery and value capturing arrangements. The industrial partners include among others, Kongsberg Maritime, Kongsberg Digital, Maasterly, Wilhelmsen and the industrial customers Yara and Asko.

You will work in a research project that involves close collaboration between researchers and business:

• To conduct research that deals with developing and commercializing business models relevant for industrial ecosystems like the Kongsberg business community and their networks.
• To conduct empirical studies and a doctoral dissertation that contribute theoretically and empirically to the science of marketing management, and thus be of high relevance to the PhD programme
• It is expected that you share empirical findings, observations and managerial implications with the industry ecosystem through participations in seminars, workshops and by writing popular science articles.

The PhD-programme in Marketing Management aims to bring academic research closer to marketing management practice, thereby focusing research on topics that will generate new knowledge for real world problems in tomorrow's markets. The applicant is invited to write a short research proposal of his/her interests to accompany the application, and during the first year of courses and supervision, the PhD proposal will be further developed to constitute a plan that contributes to world class research in marketing management.
