Startup-sijoittajat portinvartijoina journalismin kentällä
2023
Startup-yritysten roolista journalismin uudistajina on ristiriitaisia näkemyksiä, mutta niiden katsotaan kuitenkin yleisesti tuovan alalle uusia toimintamalleja ja haastavan vakiintuneita instituutioita. Sijoittajien merkitys journalistisen startup-yrittämisen kentällä on jäänyt vähälle huomiolle, vaikka he viime kädessä päättävät, millaiset yritykset saavat mahdollisuuden käynnistää tai kehittää toimintaansa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelemme startup-sijoittajia SCOT-teorian kehyksessä journalismin portinvartijoina ja journalistiseen metadiskurssiin osallistuvina keskustelijoina, joilla on alan kehittämiseen liittyvää valtaa ja vastuuta. Tavoitteenamme on tarkentaa kuvaa siitä, millaiset a…

Regional headquarters and foreign direct investment
2022
Headquarters (HQs) provide a wide range of services, playing a fundamental role in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). We use the structural gravity equation to investigate the effect of regional HQs on three dimensions of FDI (number of foreign projects, capital investment, and jobs) at the country-pair-sector level. Furthermore, we explore two underlying mechanisms that help explain this relationship: financial constraints and informational costs and uncertainty. We find a positive effect of regional HQs on FDI, as well as intercountry and intersector spillovers. Our results are robust, accounting for HQ intensity, domestic investment, and endogeneity tests.
Bowling together - applying Robert Putnam’s theories of community and social capital to public relations
2009
Although the concept of Social Capital is by no means new, it has certainly spread more widely due to the writings of Robert D. Putnam. His writings have underlined the importance of civic engagement and social ties for the welfare of individuals and societies at large. Putnam’s theories lay the foundation for an understanding of the broader societal functions of public relations, and offer useful concepts and ideas for both theory and practice. Putnam’s theory of social capital posits that the success of societies greatly depends on the horizontal bonds of collaboration: only long-term relations, such as associations and clubs, are able to generate the cohesion that brings societal benefit…
