REDUCING SOCIAL STRATIFICATION VIA DIGITAL SKILLS IMPROVEMENT: THE CASE OF SOCIAL ENTERPRISES IN LATVIA
2021
Latvian social enterprises and social entrepreneurship are becoming important since the adoption of the Social Enterprise Law in 2017 (effective as of 01.04.2018).

Stakeholder salience for small businesses : a social proximity perspective
2017
This paper advances stakeholder salience theory from the viewpoint of small businesses. It is argued that the stakeholder salience process for small businesses is influenced by their local embeddedness, captured by the idea of social proximity, and characterised by multiple relationships that the owner-manager and stakeholders share beyond the business context. It is further stated that the ethics of care is a valuable ethical lens through which to understand social proximity in small businesses. The contribution of the study conceptualises how the perceived social proximity between local stakeholders and small business owner-managers influences managerial considerations of the legitimacy, …
Przedsiębiorstwo państwowe jako podmiot postępowania arbitrażowego w systemie prawnym gospodarki nakazowo-rozdzielczej końcowego okresu PRL
2020
Niniejsza publikacja traktuje o przedsiębiorstwie państwowym jako jednym z pod-stawowych podmiotów systemu gospodarki nakazowo-rozdzielczej schyłkowego okresu PRL. Tym samym wskazano na istotę prawnomaterialną przedsiębiorstwa państwowego oraz jego formalne aspekty funkcjonowania w systemie dochodzenia roszczeń w ówczesnym postępowaniu arbitrażowym. Zarówno samo postępowanie arbitrażowe, jak i funkcjonowanie Państwowego Arbitrażu Gospodarczego jako organu pozasądowego uprawnionego do rozstrzygania i zapobiegania powstawaniu w przyszłości sporów o charakterze gospodarczym było charakterystyczne dla ówczesnego systemu politycznoprawnego. Co do zasady sama istota rozstrzyganych sporów i ich za…
Institutional Logics and the Internationalization of a State-Owned Enterprise : Evaluation of International Venture Opportunities by Telecom Finland …
2020
We contribute to the research on internationalization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by studying the coevolution of state governance of SOEs and SOEs’ evaluation of international venture opportunities during a shift in dominant institutional logic from state to market logic. Using a novel digital historical method to study Telecom Finland, we argue that as state governance mechanisms change due to a logic shift, rationales underlying SOEs’ internationalization can significantly change and impact SOEs’ geographical and partner preferences. However, a logic shift also affords SOEs significant influence over the formation of new state governance policies under the new dominant logic. peerRe…

2012
Naakka, Teppo Suorituskykyongelmien minimointi monimutkaisissa Java-pohjaisissa sovelluk-sissa Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2012, 39 s. Tietojärjestelmätiede, kandidaatintutkielma Ohjaaja(t): Hirvonen, Pertti Javan nouseminen teollisuuden standardiksi ohjelmistokehityskieleksi on joh-tanut siihen, että Java-pohjaisilla teknologioilla on tehty markkinoiden moni-mutkaisimmat sovellukset. Jotta monimutkaisia sovelluksia voidaan toteuttaa tehokkaasti, vaatii se erilaisten kehysjärjestelmien ja kirjastojen käyttöä. Tyypil-lisesti monimutkaisissa sovelluksissa on useita kirjastoja ja kehysjärjestelmiä, jotka monesti riippuvat toisistaan. Monimutkaiset sovellukset ja useat kirjastot ja kehysjä…
Retos en la internacionalización y supervivencia de los nuevos emprendimientos manufactureros
2015
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre la orientación internacional y la supervivencia de empresas manufactureras de reciente creación. Para ello se estudió una muestra de 2.975 nuevos emprendimientos constituidos durante el período 2001-2010 en la industria textil-confección de España. Metodológicamente, se han empleado modelos de duración mediante regresiones de Cox, que modelizan el riesgo relativo asociado con una variable en función del tiempo transcurrido hasta que sucede el evento. Los principales resultados evidencian que la internacionalización de los nuevos emprendimientos es una condición necesaria aunque no suficiente para sobrevivir en una industria globaliza…

Application of information and communication technology for internationalization of Nigerian small- and medium-sized enterprises
2019
Information and communication technology (ICT) has fundamentally transformed business transactions. While its uses have become ubiquitous in the advanced economies, emerging and developing economies are still struggling with the mode and manner of the deployment of ICT for business. Thus, this study seeks to investigate how small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) utilize ICT in Nigeria for business internationalization. To achieve the goal of the study, a mixed‐method was employed. A questionnaire was administered to 265 people consisting of SMEs staff, managers, and owners. Similarly, interviews were conducted with seven SME decision makers. Findings revealed that Nigerian SMEs used ICT…
Striving for Inclusion through Participatory Practices in Social Enterprises
2019
The aim of this research case is to shed some empirical light on the effects of participatory practices from the perspective of Sen’s capability approach in a Finnish social enterprise. Using a mixed method approach we explore how participatory practices build social inclusion by enabling both company’s employees and customers to engage in social agency. The case study findings articulate the importance of participatory practices to employees’ perceptions of meaningfulness of life and being able to meet customers (who are mentally disabled) needs on the one hand and customers’ experience of information sharing and feedback giving to the employees and helping other customers. peerReviewed
