Saman katon alla : tarkastelussa käyttäjien kokemukset Lily-verkkojulkaisusta
2013
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mikä houkuttaa käyttäjiä verkkoyhteisön pariin ja mikä saa heidät palaamaan sinne uudestaan. Lähdin selvittämään syitä A-lehdet-mediatalon vuonna 2011 julkaiseman Lily-verkkoyhteisöpalvelun avulla. Tutkimuksen teoriaosuudessa perehdyin erityisesti sosiaalisen median synnyttämiin verkkoyhteisöihin ja yhteisöjen haasteisiin. Käsittelin myös sitä, miten mediatalot ovat joutuneet digitalisoitumisen myötä ahtaalle. Esittelin, miten suurien konsernien siirtyminen verkkoon on sujunut ja kuinka verkon mediamarkkinat toimivat nykyään. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytin laadullista tutkimusta. Keräsin aineistoa haastattelemalla kolmea Lilyn toimituksen jäsentä ja yhde…
"I never gave up"
2019
Esports phenomena have grown rapidly in recent years, and so has research on the topic. Some of the research has also addressed esports fandom (see e.g. Taylor 2012). Nevertheless, studies comparing and contrasting how players and fans engage with the game and the esports based on that game are scarce. This study compares and contrasts how players and fans engage with playable game characters and esports players. The paper draws on previous research in fan studies, sports fandom and esports to examine the relationships of players and fans of the videogame Overwatch (Blizzard Entertainment 2016) with the fictional heroes of the game as well as with their favorite professional players in the …
Exploring the collaborative synthesis of information during online reading
2019
Abstract This descriptive study sought to understand the complexities of integrative processing during collaborative online reading. Student pairs constructed a collaborative understanding while reading online information about a controversial issue by connecting, combining and organizing information that originated from prior knowledge, self-selected online texts, and discussions during an online inquiry task. Thirty-eight students from an upper secondary school in Finland worked in pairs to read online information and write an essay with the help of an argument graph tool. Primary data sources consisted of: prior knowledge; discussions; notes recorded with a graphic representational tool;…
Rules of Engagement: Family Rules on Young Children’s Access to and Use of Technologies
2018
This chapter reports on a study conducted in seven countries in which young children’s (aged under 8) digital practices in the home were examined. The study explored family practices with regard to access to and use of technologies, tracing the ways in which families managed risks and opportunities. Seventy families participated in the study, and interviews were undertaken with both parents and children, separately and together, in order to address the research aims. This chapter focuses on the data relating to parental mediation of young children’s digital practices. Findings indicate that parents used a narrow range of strategies in comparison to parents of older children, primarily becau…
Actividad física y uso sedentario de medios tecnológicos de pantalla en adolescentes
2013
Los beneficios asociados a un estilo de vida activo adquieren una especial importancia cuando nos referimos a niños y jóvenes por sus repercusiones a corto y a largo plazo, de modo que convierten a la actividad física en un elemento clave para las políticas sociales y de salud de las distintas administraciones públicas. A la preocupación que suscita la práctica física entre los adolescentes, se le añade el uso creciente de los medios tecnológicos de pantalla por parte de la población joven, que puede mermar o condicionar su práctica física diaria. La presente tesis doctoral consiste en una investigación epidemiológica sobre una muestra representativa de adolescentes españoles que ascendió a…
The use of social media for knowledge acquisition and dissemination in B2B companies: an empirical study of Finnish technology industries
2019
Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a prelim…
Industrial branding using digital media : case: The Switch
2012
The shift from traditional marketing channels to the digital channels has been rapid which has generated new challenges and opportunities for business-to-business (B2B) communication and brand building processes. In general, studies of B2B branding are scarce, since branding has been approached as a business-to-consumer (B2C) function. In future B2B branding and brand management may well become a critical success factor in the market, since competition brought by globalization and market liberalization assisted by the internet revolution. This research will combine these previously presented themes; B2B branding and digitalization, and hence try to understand the phenomena of industrial bra…
La formation du capital humain : gestion par le marché ou gestion par l'État
1992
Human capital formation : state or market management This paper examines the likely difficulties of the management by the state of the education sector. Concerning the operation of the system, the analysis is based on international comparisons and on the French experience. As a whole the difficulties are linked to the weak accountability and justification in the use of the resources mobilized. This arises from the absence of the regulatory mechanisms as those existing in a market oriented activity. Economist's approach and tools (cost-effectiveness, production theory, ...) can be used as a substitute to such mechanisms. In a same line of argument, the article adresses the issue of external …
The Roles of the Internet and Social Media in Political Marketing and Voter Behaviour : A Study of Finnish Parliamentary Elections
2023
This chapter explores the roles of the internet and social media (SM) in political marketing and voter behaviour. We specifically analyse how voters’ use of both offline (television) and online (internet and SM) media to search for political information affects their voting preferences and decision-making. First, we examine how the use of offline and online media for political information differs among various voter groups based on voter demographics. Second, we investigate how the use of offline and online media is linked to voter choice (i.e., voting for a particular party). Our study is based on a voter survey of Finnish parliamentary elections in 2015. The results show a difference in t…
Territorial Intelligence Communicational and Community System (TICCS)
2009
Information and Communication Sciences and Territorial Intelligence concept maintain multiple relations today. The method of territorial observation Catalyse, carried by the European Network of Territorial Intelligence, proposes a modelling under the shape of what Jean-Jacques Girardot calls a territorial intelligence community system (TICS, Girardot 2008). It is by the organization of the structuralization of the information, and by the conception of the process of communication that this kind of system takes life, and it is these aspects which we détail here to illustrate that both notions bring mutually. Experiments of research-action led in France, in Spain and in Europe feed these refl…
