The dynamic interaction between internal and external pressures for MNCs’ HR management practices: The case of Lidl Finland

2014

In this paper we build on the debates on cross-national transfer of management practices in MNCs, and especially examine how internal and external institutional pressures shape the way MNCs’ HRM practices evolve upon new market entry. In our longitudinal case study we examine the evolution of multinational hard discounter Lidl’s labour relations in Finland between 2002-2012. We show how Lidl Finland’s entry to Finnish markets was labelled by constant struggles between cross-border standardization and local adaptation of labour practices. We identify several tactics employed by Lidl management in order to weaken the effects of institutional pressures. Our analysis emphasises the dynamic inte…

The linguistic construction of confirmation niches in online comment sequences

2018

This study starts from the consideration that new media are platforms where communication and language are re-negotiated to adapt new frames (e.g. new politeness, multimodal exchanges) and, in particular, that fora are participatory frameworks, that represent a mined engagement in writing practices (Stommel and Koole, 2010). Discussions are organised as multiparty conversations on several topics, written by participants (i.e website users accessing a parenting forum) at different levels of expertise about health issues (mostly earned through their experience of parenthood; Kata, 2010). the challenge in this paper is : 1) to study asynchronous forum as a talk-in -interaction venue, where seq…

Opiskelijoiden motivaatio ja siihen vaikuttavat tekijät selkärangattomien peruslajintuntemuksen kurssilla

2017

Lajintuntemustaidot ovat tärkeä bio- ja ympäristötieteiden alojen ammattilaisten osaamisalue. Lajintuntemuksella on myös merkitys osana laajempaa luonnontuntemusta, sillä esimerkiksi ekosysteemien rakenteen ja toiminnan ymmärtäminen ilman lajintuntemusta olisi hankalaa. Lajintuntemustaitojen on todettu heikentyneen luonnontieteiden korkeakouluopiskelijoilla, minkä lisäksi lajintuntemuksen opiskelu korkeakouluissa on todettu yllättävän vaikeaksi. Kaikki opiskelijat eivät koe lajintuntemustaitojen olevan edes tärkeitä tai kiinnostavia. Lajintuntemuksen opiskelua tulisikin kehittää siten, että opiskelijoiden motivaatio paranisi tieteellisesti, sisällöllisesti ja menetelmällisesti laadukkaalla …

A web-based and mobile intervention with brochure support providing complementary feeding guidelines to first-time parents in France: Randomized Cont…

2023

Purpose: In light of the latest epidemiological and nutritional knowledge and scientific evidence supporting responsive feeding, the French feeding guidelines for 0-3 years were recently updated and nationally disseminated through a brochure and media campaign by Santé publique France. Moreover, smartphone apps become increasingly popular and is likely relevant to provide timely information across development to inform parents about child feeding practices but their effect is seldom evaluated. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate whether the provision of guidelines through an app and a brochure (vs. brochure alone, usual service) results in healthier parental feeding p…
