Kajsa will defend her dissertaion the 18th of October at Chalmers in Gothenburg. The opponent is Per Andersson from Stockholm School of Economics. The aim of the dissertaion is to explore variety in distribution networks, the framework built on the industrial network approach in combination with Alderson´s tranvection approach is applied on distribution of PCs. Variety is analysed by identifying and analysing a number of transvections, and how they are interconnected. The analysis focuses on how objects, starting as raw material and ending up as an end-product, are changing in different dimensions as they are sorted and transformed.
