| Abstract: | In this article the authors study the implications of technological innovation on liner shipping. The author studies how a liner company, AB Svenska Ostasiatiska Kompaniet, responded to the challenges of the container revolution that happened in the 1960s and early 1970s. Findings in the paper indicate that Svenska Ostasiatiska Kompaniet were successfull in adapting their liner network to the container technology, even though they were late movers compared to other companies. The authors conclude that organizational changes had a significant effect in the way for Svenska Ostasiatiska Kompaniet´s successful transition from conventional liner shipping to container shipping. |
